Why I Don’t Give a Crap About My Annuity “Fees”

Video Below Note: This is the annuity that Charlie bought for himself. This is focused on income where "fees" do not impact income. There are other products that are more "accumulation" focused where you don't have to pay for a GLWB rider "fee". Again, maximum income...

“Providing Independent financial professionals with vast technology and support resources while also providing high payout levels is what we do.  Between resources and commission levels, it does not have to be a zero-sum game.”

Charlie Gipple, CLU, ChFC

Founder and CEO, CG Financial Group and The Retirement Academy

Independent But Not Alone…

Vast Resources But Small Company Feel

Our History.

CG Financial Group was founded in 2018 and is one of the fastest growing IMOs in the country.  But regardless of how large we get, we will commit to always having a “small company” feel that is hard to come by in an industry of consolidating “Mega-IMOs”.

We pride ourselves on being able to provide support that is unmatched in the industry while also providing payout levels that are unmatched in the industry. 

Over the last 25 years, our founder – Charlie Gipple – has worked as a coach for hundreds of agents, registered reps, broker dealers, CPAs, advisors and marketing organizations and has built these relationships that he cherishes.  We now work with these financial professionals as their IMO to elevate their businesses to new heights.

Charlie has not only spoken at large agent events as a keynote speaker – he has also conducted hundreds of client seminars over the years and he knows what works and what does not!  Thus, CGFG’s mission is to transfer this knowledge to you, the agent/advisor.

One of the many attributes our financial professionals like about us is: unlike many other IMO’s, we personally produce ourselves.  This means that the product strategies, tax strategies and ideas that we communicate to you are based on proven real-life experiences with the end consumer.   In essence, we eat what we cook!!  Many times, what looks good on paper does not work when applied.  We actually apply our ideas; and are quite good at it!  We then transfer this knowledge to you through ongoing training and also through the “CG Academy”.

When we combine this experience with the end consumer along with 25 years of coaching MDRT-level financial professionals on a national scale, there is a powerful combination of knowledge we can transfer to you, the financial professional!  

Being a GA/IMO requires so much more than providing product specs!  It requires technology, training, case management, support infrastructure, and many other things.  We have this!!!

Check out a Few Testimonials from Our Agents

"My insurance business has literally doubled since we started working with Charlie and CG Financial Group a year ago."

Agent in Florida

"I have been with a few IMOs and they don't compare to what CG Financial Group is doing. Charlie is one of the best in the industry and he is generous with his time. He is also truthful with no spin."

Agent in New Jersey

"Charlie is a gem in the financial services industry. His knowledge is second to none, and he truly cares about his clients. Whether you just have needs for a simple term insurance policy or the more complicated analysis required for a successful retirement plan, Charlie is your guy. I highly recommend him to anybody that needs Financial Services, or is requiring mentorship as an up-and-coming agent. Very few people reach his level of expertise, honesty, integrity, and professionalism. Highly recommended!"

Agent in Texas

"I was referred to Charlie for a couple of reasons. As an insurance agent I need a mentor to help me move forward to help more people. Charlie is indeed that mentor. Second, I needed a professional who could advise us on our IRA. We need to minimize loss while still allowing us to see some growth. Charlie reviewed our current plan and reduced our risk without sacrificing our need for growth. He's a great guy and as knowledgeable as it gets. My wife and I are both very happy he's on our "team.""

Agent in Nevada

"Charlie Gipple is a bright shining star in a seemingly otherwise 'dull' industry. Charlie is responsive and extremely knowledgeable in insurance and financial solutions. His energy is infectious and he shares freely. I have done business through Charlie and I have referred probably a dozen agents or so to also contract with Charlie. I've never heard any negative feedback and will continue to refer those whom I believe Charlie and CG Financial Group are a proper fit. Keep up the great work!"

We also have relationships with broker-dealers where we are able to assist those broker-dealers’ reps with their insurance business, while paying the broker-dealer the appropriate “GDC” level compensation 

Technology

Feast your eyes on the below technology offerings!!!

Business Builder

This is your “dashboard”.  This system shows you your pending cases, in-force cases, commissions history, and also houses quote engines, eapps, product updates, etc.

Your Customer Management System

Ebix SmartOffice is our provider of choice!  They are the premier insurance CRM in the industry, and specifically designed for insurance agents/agencies.

IPIPELINE Life Insurance Quoter

Whether it is term or GUL, how do you know what the best priced product is for your client?  This is your answer!!!

Multi-Carrier Illustration System

For carriers’ life insurance illustrations, you dont have to navigate to a million carriers’ websites.  With Winflex, you have it all in one place.

Life Insurance E-Applications

When it is time to write the life insurance application, do it electronically and quickly!!!  IGO is the technology we provide to you for this job.

Annuity Rate Watch

Finding the highest interest rates on Multi-Year Guaranteed Annuities and also the highest paying Indexed Annuity GLWBs for your specific client is easy!!!  All that you need to do is have us run you one of these reports to filter out the good from the bad.

CANNEX

For your clients that are looking for the highest payouts on SPIAs and DIAs, having us run you a CANNEX report will allow you to see which annuities you should be looking at.  

Annuity E-Applications

Firelight is the premier annuity E-application platform in the industry used by agents, agencies, carriers and broker-dealers.

Retirement Income Planning Software

JourneyGuide is one of the top retirement planning platforms in the industry.  This platform allows your client to assess their current situation from a retirement income standpoint.  Then, the agent can recommend adjustments that the software will then compare to the “base case”. 

Websites

Don’t have a website?  We can build one for you.  AFTERALL, WE BUILT THIS ONE, AND MANY OTHERS!

WordPress is our platform of choice along with several cool plugins.

Consumer Life Insurance Quote Engines

Many agencies would like consumers to check life insurance prices on their websites.  We provide this technology to you through our partnership with a top platform provider.

The Best Support in the Country

We have all been there!!!  You call into a large company to get an illustration, forms or product information and you sit on hold for 30 minutes.  Then, once somebody finally answers they give you completely different information than the last rep did.  Which rep do you listen to?  Why did this happen?  Did he/she not know the correct answer?  Were they too lazy to research the right answer?  

With us, the answer to the above questions is, IT DOESN”T MATTER!!!  Bad service is bad service.  You will not experience the above with us.  With us, not only do you receive the best sales support from industry subject matter experts – you can also allow your clients to experience our service and professionalism.  Charlie does many client meetings (Zoom Calls) in partnership with our agents.  

We also have calculators for annuities and life insurance so we can easily identify the top paying products in the industry for your clients.  As we say, “you will never be outproducted when you work with us”.

What about those hard-to-place life insurance cases?  We also have an underwriter that can help us steer those cases to the correct carriers that will give your clients the best offer.

We build businesses, not spreadsheets.

Case Management

Selling the Annuity, Life Insurance, or LTC policy is only half the battle.  Tracking down requirements until final policy placement is also a large part of what is required.  When you work with CG Financial Group, you are allowed to do what you do best – work with your prospects and clients – while we follow up on your pending cases and see them through to the end.
