Our job is to beat your current annuity commission.
Stuck at your current commission level, or simply want higher commission? Our sole purpose is to scale your business by beating your current commission levels. No matter your current commission level, if you meet our minimum requirements (solo producers have none), you automatically get higher commission than where you are today. Starting comp is for every producer, including new producers with no experience — there is no production minimum. If you have strong production to show, we contract you above our starting comp. Established agencies, financial advisors and financial firms, and healthcare agencies can earn much higher too. Submit your application, schedule a Zoom, and we review your current commission levels carrier by carrier and contract you above them — with full back office support, case management, carrier contracting and sales tools included.

How to read the Corebridge grid
Corebridge grids are organized by compensation option, so read the option number before the rate. On Power 10 Protector for issue ages 18-75, our grid shows 7% under Option 1, 4.25% under Option 2 and 2% under Option 3. Some products use different option numbers for older ages: Power Select Builder lists Options 7 and 8 for ages 76-78, and Power 5 Protector lists Option 9 for ages 81-85. Confirm how each option pays in later years in your contract.
- Issue age: commission steps down in older age bands, so the same product pays less for an older client.
- Surrender period: longer surrender periods pay more than shorter ones. Never choose a longer period for the commission; it has to fit the client.
- Payout option: heaped options pay the full first-year commission at issue; trail options pay less up front and a percentage in later years. See heaped vs trail commissions.
- Chargebacks: if a contract is surrendered or the owner dies within the carrier's chargeback window, part of the commission can be recovered. Check the current terms in your contract.
