What is the best strategy to get annuity leads?

Here are the top 5 ways to get both free and paid annuity leads as an insurance agent, financial advisor or financial professional:

1. Facebook & Instagram (Meta Ads)

Best way to buy exclusive annuity leads

Running Facebook & Instagram ads on Meta is one of the best ways to buy exclusive annuity leads. With Meta ads, you can target people actively searching for annuities at a much lower cost than other advertising platforms.

Here’s a recent example of the cost per lead in one month for one of our financial advisor clients selling annuities using the strategy outlined here:

As you can see, their average cost per lead is only $8.44!

On Facebook, you can even target people interested in annuities, life insurance and wealth management, as seen here:

Here are some Facebook ad-targeting tips to get better annuity insurance leads:

• Target an older demographic (age 55+ is best)
• Focus on wealthy individuals or families with $500K or more in investable assets
• Advertise to people who are actually looking for annuities (in-market targeting)
• Talk about the big problem annuities solve in retirement

The key to success with Facebook marketing is combining the right strategy with the right messaging and target market.

If you’re a client of our done-for-you lead generation services, we can set up your Facebook & Instagram annuity ads using what we’ve seen work well for our other annuity clients. This will save you thousands of dollars in “testing” ads that probably won’t work and months (or even years) of trial and error.

For our clients, here’s how much exclusive annuity leads typically cost on Facebook:

• Average cost per exclusive annuity lead: $10 to $30 (average is $20)
• Average cost per booked annuity appointment: $100 to $300 (average is $200)
• The average amount of investable assets: $250K to $1 Million ($500K is average)

Note: Costs vary depending on your location and target audience, but in most cases, it’s still a lot more cost effective than buying leads from other lead companies.

Remember, these are for exclusive leads that ONLY go to you.

These leads are NOT shared with anyone else, and you don’t need to chase leads for appointments. These leads will book annuity appointments straight into your calendar because they actually want to speak with you (which makes the sales call much easier).

“In less than 30 days I’ve already had multiple Zoom calls with people who have millions of dollars to invest in an annuity. I’ve never experienced this with any other lead generation program!” – Paul (Annuity Agent)

2. TikTok Ads

Cheapest way to buy exclusive annuity leads

Advertising on TikTok is a new and powerful way to buy exclusive annuity leads with social media at a 25% lower cost than Facebook ads.

But you might be thinking…

“TikTok ads? Really? I thought TikTok was just for young people?”

Well, you might be surprised to learn that there are currently 9+ million active TikTok users in the USA who are over 55 years old and 24+ million users who are 45+.

You can target people on TikTok based on income, wealth and more.

Many of our annuity clients use TikTok ads to target people with at least $500K in investable assets.

As a result, TikTok ads have been converting incredibly well for life insurance agents looking for leads and financial advisors who want exclusive leads at a lower cost than Facebook ads.

How much do TikTok ads cost?

Here are the results our insurance agent clients selling annuities have experienced:

• Average cost per lead with TikTok ads: $15
• Average cost per appointment with TikTok ads: $150
• The average amount of investable assets with TikTok ads: $500K

These results are averages for clients who sell annuities. In some cases, clients have got even better results!

Here is an example of one of our best-performing annuity clients currently running TikTok annuity ads:

As you can see, their CPA (cost per action or cost per lead) is only $4.73 targeting people over the age of 55 who are interested in an annuity. Getting leads for under $5 is almost unheard of the the financial services and insurance industry.

“It has been completely eye opening to get highly qualified high net worth leads through TikTok ads that are ready to speak to a financial advisor.” – Eric (financial advisor)

3. YouTube

Best way to get free annuity leads

One of the best ways to get free annuity leads is to record YouTube videos answering questions about annuities.

The key to getting leads for free with YouTube is to create helpful YouTube videos that answer annuity-related questions people are searching for on YouTube.

For example, if someone searches YouTube for “How does an annuity work” or “What is the safest way to build wealth in retirement?” your video could appear in the search results.

You can then include a link to your sales appointment funnel in the description of your videos so that people can schedule a call with you to learn more.

Here’s an example of the views one of my annuity clients has got from YouTube search:

Their videos generate new leads, appointments, and clients each month.

And best of all, these leads are 100% free and generated without paying for ads.

4. Blogging (Search Engine Optimization)

Easiest free way to get high-quality annuity leads

Optimizing your website for search engines is one of the easiest ways to get free annuity leads each month.

Unlike paid ads, with search engine optimization (SEO), you can generate free leads from people searching on Google for information about annuities.

To get annuity leads with SEO, you need to write articles on your website that answer questions that people are searching for on Google.

This includes questions such as:

• What are the best annuity rates?
• What are the best annuity providers?
• How can I buy an annuity?
• How much does a $500K annuity pay per month?
• What percentage of your portfolio should be in annuities?

And so on…

If you optimize your article for search engines, you can appear at the top of Google for these and similar questions.

This means you’ll get leads from people who are actively searching for information about annuities right now.

Here’s an example of one of my clients who started creating annuity articles for his blog and now gets leads each week for free from Google:

Here’s what one of my clients who sells annuities emailed me after getting their first client for FREE from Google using our VSL strategy:

5. Buy annuity leads from lead companies

A popular way to get annuity leads is to buy leads from other marketing or lead generation companies that sell leads.

Buying insurance leads is a good way to get leads without doing any marketing work yourself.

How does buying leads for annuities work?

• Annuity lead generation companies typically pay for ads on Facebook or Instagram
• After they generate a lead for $10 (as an example), they resell it to other insurance agents or financial advisors for $50, $100, $200, or more.
• Some annuity companies will prequalify leads (also known as appointment setting) before sending them to you by asking them how much they have in investable assets.

The results can differ for each annuity lead program.

After speaking with many clients who have bought insurance leads in the past, they’ve often told me the leads were:

• Bad quality
• Hard to get hold of on the phone
• They would need to spend a long time chasing leads to get an appointment

That’s why many of my clients prefer to get exclusive leads at cost and control their own digital marketing.

Note: We actually work with some of the lead companies that sell leads so we know all the ins and outs of buying and selling leads to businesses. There are pros and cons.

The costs of buying an annuity lead can range from $250 to $500 per lead.

Many lead companies define a “lead” as anyone who fills out an online form, but this definition doesn’t necessarily equate to a sales appointment. If you pay $250 for a lead and only speak with one out of ten leads, your actual cost per appointment would be $2,500, which is higher than purchasing leads directly from social media platforms like Facebook or TikTok.

Buying insurance leads can be an effective lead generation strategy if the lead provider is good and you are willing to chase leads to get an appointment.

However, many of our financial advisor clients prefer to get their own exclusive annuity leads directly from the source and be in full control of their marketing.
