Multi-Level Marketing Annuity Alert

0:08
Hi there, Stan the Annuity Man,

0:09
America's annuity agent. I know why you

0:11
clicked this title because you're like,

0:12
"What in the heck is he talking about

0:14
this time?" And the title is multilevel

0:17
annuity marketing nutrition alert. Yes,

0:21
multilevel that pyramid stuff. You know,

0:23
the Amway and the I don't know what all

0:26
that other stuff's called. You know, I

0:27
have nothing against those people. do

0:29
your thing, man. Make your little side

0:30
hustle money, all that stuff. But the

0:33
other day, my lovely wife of 37 years,

0:35
and we've been together for 41, and yes,

0:37
she's a martyr and yes, she should have

0:39
left me, but she hasn't yet. She comes

0:42
to me and says, "I've got a friend

0:44
that's doing this thing and it's

0:46
multilevel and she wants me to go to one

0:48
of those kind of t remember the old

0:50
Tupperware parties." And okay, I'm 61 at

0:52
the time of this taping. I'm dating

0:53
myself a little bit, but back in the

0:55
day, the original like multi-level

0:57
marketing thing was Tupperware. And then

0:59
there's the nutritional stuff and I

1:01
think one's called New Skin. I'm

1:02
familiar with Amway. We're all kind of

1:04
familiar with that. We've all been to

1:05
one of those parties and they ran the

1:07
numbers and all that stuff and the

1:08
multiplication d. But my wife says um

1:12
she's doing something that they're

1:14
selling annuities, but it's multi-level

1:16
marketing. Now, I had heard this. Of

1:18
course I had. I'm Stan the annuity man.

1:19
I'm America's annuity agent. I'm

1:21
licensed in all 50 states and I am the

1:23
official thought leader of the space

1:25
period. So, I'd heard about little

1:28
rumblings, but in in my world coming

1:31
from basketball, it's like talking

1:33
about, you know, um someone 69 trying to

1:37
score against someone 4'11. Okay? So, I

1:39
kind of look at them and go, "Yeah,

1:40
that's that's trivial. That's nice." But

1:43
now they're starting to really grow. And

1:45
you're having a lot of people, in my

1:47
opinion, that aren't qualified to talk

1:50
about people's retirement.

1:52
And they're having these rah parties

1:55
like the the the old multi-level

1:57
marketing stuff, family and friends and

2:00
this and that and this and and that's

2:03
fine, but I don't like where it's

2:05
headed. Now, I'm sure they're going to

2:07
say, you know, we're gonna we're going

2:08
to file something against Stan New for

2:10
putting multi-level. I'm not putting

2:12
anything down. I'm not putting

2:15
multi-level marketing down because

2:16
there's a lot of people that are million

2:18
billionaires out there through those

2:20
systems. Just not me. Because I don't

2:22
like interacting. I'm kind of reckless.

2:24
You're saying, Stan, you're a reckless.

2:25
You're pretty verbal. No, I'm a

2:26
reckless. I really am. I'm not a

2:28
missenthrop.

2:30
I kind of go on the line of missenthrop.

2:32
But I I'm just saying we we like to help

2:34
people, but I don't want to go to a

2:36
party and eat cookies and and bon bonss

2:39
and drink tea and then hear about

2:42
annuities. Okay. Now, I don't know that

2:45
much about what's happening out there

2:46
other than it's set up like

2:48
multimarketing and there's layers and

2:50
people get paid, etc. I don't know how

2:51
how that's legal. You know, all I'm

2:54
saying is don't be surprised that

2:57
instead of the bad chicken dinner,

2:58
expensive steak dinner seminar that has

3:01
proliferated unfortunately the annuity

3:03
industry and the person gets up there

3:06
and Johnny Apple Seed agent and says

3:08
this is the best annuity ever and let me

3:10
tell you why this is the best annuity

3:12
ever. That's like a doctor holding a um

3:16
a seminar and saying this medication is

3:18
the one everyone in this room needs to

3:20
take. all 200 of you, this medication,

3:23
you'd walk out of the room. Well, Johnny

3:25
Apples Seed agent gets up there and

3:26
says, "This annuity is the one all of

3:29
you need to own." What's the difference?

3:32
Now, I'm hearing we have multi-level

3:34
marketing companies that are now selling

3:37
annuities. Now, I'm going to give them

3:39
the benefit of the doubt right here on

3:41
camera evergreen content that they're

3:44
doing the right thing,

3:46
that they have the customer's best

3:48
interest at hand. They're trying to act

3:51
like fiduciaries. And what's a

3:52
fiduciary? It's first of all, it's a

3:53
plaque on the wall. Well-earned. But in

3:56
essence, it says you put the customer's

3:58
best interest ahead of yours. We do that

4:00
involuntarily because that's the right

4:02
thing to do at the annuity man. But I'm

4:05
a little concerned that because 13,000

4:08
or 14,000 people are turned to 65 every

4:11
day that some entrepreneur said, "You

4:15
know what? I'm going to do an Amway for

4:17
annuities." What? I I don't even know

4:20
how that works. First of all, you got to

4:23
get licensed. Second of all, you

4:24
probably need to know what you're

4:25
talking about. Third of all, you can't

4:26
just choose one product or one product

4:29
type and try to sell it. Try to fit a

4:32
square peg peg into a round hole. With

4:35
annuities, annuities solve for four

4:36
things. Principal protection, income for

4:38
life, legacy, and long-term care.

4:40
Acronym is pill. And you only have to

4:42
ask two questions. What do you want the

4:44
money to contractually do? And when do

4:46
you want those contractual guarantees to

4:48
start? Not everybody needs annuity, even

4:50
though you already own one. It's called

4:51
Social Security, the best inflation

4:53
annuity on the planet.

4:55
Yes, I'm going to look into it further,

4:58
okay? And I'm going to come back and do

4:59
some videos on the specifics of it. But

5:02
I'm giving you kind kind of an alert

5:05
that you might have a family or friend

5:07
member, one of those people say, "Hey,

5:10
you know, I'm now doing this with XYZ

5:12
and we have these annuities and blah

5:14
blah blah." And if you would like to

5:16
join and help me sell, and you're going,

5:17
"Wait a minute, that that sounds like

5:19
that sounds like multi-level marketing.

5:20
I'm selling like a nutritional thing,

5:22
but it's now annuities." Okay, I I'm

5:26
going to look into it. Promise you. I

5:28
promise you. So, I'm going to give them

5:30
the benefit of the doubt. I'm going to

5:31
say they're doing the right thing. They

5:34
have your best interest at hand. I'm

5:36
skeptical. Can I be skeptical about

5:39
that? Having done this for a very, very

5:40
long time, having been in the financial

5:42
services industry for a very, very long

5:44
time. Anytime I hear multi-level

5:47
marketing and money finances, I'm

5:50
skeptical. So, I want you to be

5:52
skeptical, too. Take your time. Go to my

5:55
