A natural teaching nature, Dave writes, speaks and shares sales and marketing techniques with publications and agents.

This allows you to stay on target during the entirety of the sales process. After the level of interest has been determined, you then follow with one of several presentation paths that Dave has created to help agents move hundreds of millions in premium.

Steven DeJohn is President of The DeJohn Advisory Team and a Principal of Dressander & Associates. As a top level producer, Steve has been featured on the June 2006 cover of “Senior Market Advisor Magazine” and is a noted speaker, mentor and authority within the Annuity marketplace. Steve bases his success on the “safe money” mindset and his belief of discussing safe investing vs risky investing with the clients, creating a comfortable and soothing environment. Steve’s expert selling style pointedly discusses the pitfalls that face retirees and how annuities can help protect their income. (Steve’s advice to you: stop talking around annuities and start talking about them and watch your sales increase!). Steve’s straight-forward style has been rewarded as he wrote in excess of $10,000,000 in premiums each of the last 4 years.

Retain Your Gains™ DVD is Steve’s tool of choice when working within the Annuity Industry. The Retain Your Gains DVD clearly defines the difference between risky and safe investments based on determining the appropriate diversified combination for your particular circumstances. Although there are several “safe” methods of protecting your principal, many of them do not have the returns the Fixed Indexed Annuities can offer. Steve is also widely known for his radio advertising program, seminars and teaching sessions.
