Annuities objection handling: 5 common pushbacks

2026-10-26

Intro

Annuity objections are usually liquidity (“locked up”), family review, market comparison, fee fear, and “need to think.” Use acknowledge → strategy → action. Disclose surrender charges plainly; start the application only when suitable.

1. “I don’t want my money locked up.”

Acknowledge: “Liquidity matters — let’s look at access honestly.”
Strategy: Surrender schedule + any free-withdrawal features, plainly.
Action: If still suitable, start the application; if not, say so.

2. “I need to talk to my spouse / kids.”

Acknowledge: “Retirement money should feel right for the family.”
Strategy: Concrete details beat vague callbacks.
Action: Finish suitability notes; start app when appropriate so both can review.

3. “I can do better in the market.”

Acknowledge: “Markets can grow — this product has a different job.”
Strategy: Purpose fit, not return promises.
Action: Clarify goal; continue only if the annuity still fits.

4. “Annuities are full of fees / traps.”

Acknowledge: “You deserve a clear fee picture.”
Strategy: Itemize material fees and surrender terms.
Action: Disclose fully; proceed only if they still want to.

5. “I need to think about it.”

Acknowledge: “No pressure — what’s the part you want to sit with?”
Strategy: Isolate liquidity, fees, spouse, or trust.
Action: Handle that issue; start the application the same call if suitable and ready.
