10 Powerful IUL Lead Magnet Ideas to Attract High-Quality Prospects
If you sell Indexed Universal Life (IUL) or annuities, your goal isn’t just “more leads.” It’s better leads. After years helping agents win on LinkedIn, I’ve learned the teams who grow fastest don’t chase—they attract. The easiest way to start doing that? Smart, simple lead magnets that earn attention and start real conversations.
What Is a Lead Magnet (and Why It Works for IUL)
A lead magnet is a useful freebie you offer in exchange for contact info—usually name, email, and sometimes phone. Think of it as a handshake that says, “Here’s something valuable. In return, let’s keep talking.” In a space as complex as IUL, the right magnet builds trust, reduces confusion, and positions you as the guide.
