OUR PROCESS

THE PRISM PLAN

Prism Insurance Services uses a planning-first process designed to help clients evaluate insurance strategies based on retirement goals, income needs, family priorities, liquidity concerns, and long-term financial objectives.

OUR PROCESS

How We Work With You

A structured, client-centered approach to evaluating life insurance and retirement protection strategies.

1

Understand Your Goals

We begin by discussing retirement priorities, income goals, family needs, protection concerns, and long-term financial objectives.

2

Review the Bigger Picture

Insurance strategies should be evaluated alongside investments, income sources, liquidity needs, taxes, and legacy planning considerations.

3

Compare Available Options

When insurance may be appropriate, we compare products, carrier strength, contract features, surrender schedules, costs, and tradeoffs.

4

Implement When Appropriate

Recommendations should align with the client’s goals and circumstances — not simply because a product is available.

5

Review Over Time

Retirement goals and financial circumstances evolve. Insurance strategies should be reviewed periodically over time.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Questions clients often ask about our process.

Transparency throughout the process

Our process begins with understanding the client’s goals, retirement priorities, protection concerns, liquidity needs, and broader financial circumstances. Insurance strategies are then evaluated within the context of the overall retirement plan before recommendations are made.

No. Clients are not required to purchase insurance products to work with Prism Insurance Services or affiliated firms. Recommendations should be evaluated based on the client’s individual goals and circumstances.

Insurance strategies are reviewed based on factors such as retirement income needs, protection goals, liquidity considerations, time horizon, risk tolerance, beneficiary objectives, contract terms, and overall financial priorities.

Prism Insurance Services may receive commissions from insurance companies when insurance products are purchased. Compensation can vary depending on the product, carrier, and contract structure.

Insurance strategies should not be evaluated in isolation. Investments, taxes, retirement income sources, estate considerations, liquidity needs, and long-term financial goals can all impact whether a strategy may be appropriate.

Insurance strategies should be reviewed periodically as retirement goals, family needs, income priorities, and financial circumstances evolve over time.

Prism Insurance Services helps clients evaluate strategies involving annuities, life insurance, protection planning, retirement income considerations, and legacy planning objectives depending on the client’s needs.

FAQ illustration

Transparency matters throughout the process.


Insurance recommendations may result in commissions paid to Prism Insurance Services. We believe clients should understand how recommendations are made, how compensation works, and how insurance strategies fit within the broader planning process.


WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?

Planning Before Products

Every recommendation should begin with understanding the client’s goals, priorities, and broader financial picture — not starting with a product. We believe insurance strategies should support retirement income planning, protection needs, liquidity considerations, and long-term objectives rather than follow a one-size-fits-all approach.

Education Before Implementation

We help evaluate insurance-based income options, including fixed annuities and fixed indexed annuities, as part of a broader retirement income strategy.

Long-Term Relationship Focus

Retirement goals, family priorities, and financial circumstances evolve over time. Insurance strategies should be reviewed periodically to ensure coverage, beneficiaries, income needs, and long-term objectives continue to align with the client’s situation.

Our process is designed to help clients evaluate options thoughtfully, understand tradeoffs clearly, and determine whether an insurance strategy truly fits their long-term objectives.
