Read LAD's operating principles

Review, record, confirm, reconcile.

Use the workspace to organize records while carrier materials, decisions, and statements remain the controlling sources.

Step 01

Review information

Review only rate records that pass the applicable source and freshness checks. Confirm product, state, licensing, and appointment requirements before client use.

Step 02

Create the case record

Create a structured case record and keep the relevant details together. Confirm the carrier's required forms, suitability process, and authorized submission channel for the case.

Step 03

Confirm status

Record case status and outstanding requirements in the dashboard. Automated carrier updates vary by integration and carrier.

Step 04

Reconcile records

Record expected and received commission details for reconciliation. Signed schedules and carrier statements remain controlling.

Use only verified-current rates.

When approved source data is current, LAD shows its last-updated date here. Missing or stale rate data stays hidden; confirm all product details before relying on a quote.

Questions every broker asks before they apply.

What happens to renewals and trails? +
Vesting, renewals, and trail treatment depend on the signed producer agreement and applicable carrier terms. Review those terms with LAD before contracting or moving business.
How fast can I be writing business? +
No timeline is promised. Appointment timing varies by carrier, state, licensing history, training, and whether additional information is requested. Confirm approval from the carrier before presenting or submitting business.
How does compensation work? +
Compensation depends on the carrier, product, state, and signed agreement. Obtain and review the applicable schedule before placing business.
Do I have to leave my other BGAs? +
Review your existing agreements and ask LAD whether the intended relationship can be supported. Do not assume an exclusivity or carrier-access term without the applicable agreement.
What if I am new to annuities or life? +
Ask what case support is available for the proposed business. The required license, training, appointment, product knowledge, and client-specific responsibilities still apply.
What states do you operate in? +
Availability depends on the producer’s licenses, appointment, the carrier, the product, and state approval. Confirm each proposed case through the authorized carrier and contracting sources.
