“Early on, I recognized the value of owning an asset and not just selling as a job.
So when I was introduced to Annuity.com’s philosophy of partnering with agents - making them owners, I was ‘all in!’
We’re going to build an agent first company worth billions. I hope you’ll join us!”
“After 40 years of building a successful one-man practice and achieving the work/life balance I wanted, I assumed I would eventually sell my practice when I decided it was time to retire. The opportunities with Annuity.com completely revolutionized my thinking.
Annuity.com is not just changing my practice by increasing its value in at least 5 different ways…it is transforming an industry.
If you are new to this business, you could not have picked a better time or better opportunity than Annuity.com.
If you have been in the business for a while and think you’ve seen everything…trust me, you ain’t seen nuthin’ yet!”
"After my previous IMO was sold without notice or benefit to me, I realized how agents often miss out on the rewards of their work. Annuity.com's offer to earn equity was a clear win. It allows me a tangible stake in the company's success, and I'm excited to be part of what I believe will be a massive company."
