Client-facing title: Your Tax-Free Retirement Strategy

Use this when: A prospect has significant pre-tax savings and is concerned about taxes in retirement, or asks "is there a better place to save for retirement than my 401(k)?"

Tax Free Retirement

Advisor description: Show this video to anyone with an IRA, SEP, 401(k), 403(b), or 457 plan — explains why trading today's tax deduction for tomorrow's tax-free income via a Retirement Insurance Contract can dramatically increase lifetime spendable cash.

Client-facing title: Retirement Plan Comparison

Use this when: A married prospect is approaching retirement with a defined-benefit pension and hasn't decided between single-life and joint-life payout options.

IUL Mechanics Explainer Videos

IUL Hedging Explanation

Advisor description: Show this video to anyone buying indexed universal life — explains exactly how insurers track a market index without exposing principal to investment losses.

Client-facing title: You've Made a Good Decision

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I find these videos in my dashboard?

Click Videos in the left-hand menu, then click Retirement Life Insurance in the filter tabs. Or use the Search bar to find it directly.

Q: What's the best first video for a 401(k) saver I'm introducing to Retirement Insurance Contracts?

Start with Taxes, Risk and Fees to frame the problem, then follow with Retirement Insurance or Tax Free Retirement to present the solution. Use IUL vs Qualified Plan if they want to see specific numbers side by side.

Q: When should I use the IUL mechanics videos?

Only after a prospect has shown genuine interest in purchasing an IUL. These are education videos, not sales videos — they're designed to deepen confidence and address technical questions, not to open a conversation. Sending them too early can overwhelm a prospect who isn't yet engaged.

Q: What's the difference between WL Retirement Plan and IUL Retirement Plan?

Both present life insurance as a tax-free retirement vehicle. WL Retirement Plan uses participating whole life — guaranteed cash value with historical dividends. IUL Retirement Plan uses indexed universal life — market-linked growth with a zero-loss floor. WL is more conservative; IUL offers more growth potential. Choose based on the prospect's risk tolerance and goals.

Q: Is IUL Decision Assurance appropriate to share publicly?

No. It's designed specifically for new policyholders experiencing post-purchase anxiety. Keep it as a targeted follow-up after a signed application — not a general marketing video.
