Independent Partnership
A Diversified Portfolio
It all started over a century and a half ago with life insurance. And now, we offer a wide range of financial solutions to millions of people worldwide through our strategically aligned businesses.
Since MassMutual manufactures all lines of our product portfolio, not just distributes it, you can be confident that the input you give the home office can have a direct impact on how future products look and service your marketplace.
Insurance
We offer whole life, term life, universal life, variable universal life* and survivorship life insurance as well as disability income and long-term care insurance.
Retirement
We offer Defined Contribution, Defined Benefit and Non-Qualified Deferred compensation plans in addition to a competitive portfolio mix of variable, fixed and immediate annuities.
Investments
MML Investors Services, LLC, a MassMutual subsidiary, is a registered broker-dealer and registered investment adviser, offering a broad portfolio of securities products, brokerage services, asset management programs and financial planning services through its registered representatives and investment adviser representatives.
Plus, Single Source Insurance
MML Insurance Agency, LLC fills gaps in product offerings by providing one-stop brokerage shopping for life insurance, disability income insurance, annuity, and long term care insurance products for those times when the needs of clients and prospects must be met with products we do not offer.
Business Markets
Our Business Markets process is a differentiator in the financial services industry. Our competitive advantage comes from how we combine our tools and resources into a proprietary process.
Our Business Markets process can help you grow your client base and reconnect with current clients to provide them more value, and you more sales. Additionally, business professionals such as CPAs, attorneys, and business coaches will see great value in working with you as our process can generate additional clients and revenue.
Our Business Markets process can help in three significant ways:
- Help you stand out as a Financial Services Representative (FSR) that offers differentiated services in the industry
- Generate commissions from prospects and centers of influence (COI)
- Increase commissions from existing clients
Training on this process is key to success. We have proprietary training and certifications to help producers, who already know how to close business, and reexamine their current client base and contacts to see different opportunities to work more effectively with business owners.
