“In my current role, it is very important for me to have fast, accurate, and pertinent data on the Indexed UL marketplace. There are many sources around the industry for this information, but I have not found any that compare to what Sheryl and her team have to offer. In addition to the actionable information that we receive regarding sales data, the access to current and accurate IUL product information is critical to the success of my group. As the Indexed UL space continues to evolve day-by-day, the services that are offered by this team become more imperative. Sheryl and her team are great to work with and are attentive to the needs of my organization. Sheryl is definitely a “rockstar” but her “band-mates” are pretty good too!”
J. Christie, Lincoln Financial Network

Sheryl’s intuitive insight, knowledge and research has had a tremendous positive impact on our company and the industry. We can’t say enough great things about the value her services have brought to our company.”

We view them as partners and I believe they feel the same of us.”

We truly view LifeSpecs as a “one-stop-shop” for all of our indexed life needs. LifeSpecs is a complete “no-brainer” for a competitive IMO!”

I commend Sheryl for the work she does on behalf of the industry and her passion for it.”
D. Shemi, Legacy Marketing Group

T. Chaffee, Sammons Financial Group
“Sheryl and her staff have provided us and our producers with a very thorough tool for comparing indexed UL. With several carriers recently entering this space, and with others expanding their portfolios, it’s imperative for us to keep these specs readily accessible at our fingertips – LifeSpecs allows us to do this. We especially like the opportunity to review products of which we currently do not market, to determine if there’s a need to add them to our already expansive product line. LifeSpecs is a must-have tool for indexed life producers and producer groups.”
S. Sigler, Financial Independence Group Marketing
“Sheryl’s company, Wink, has become the industry standard for index annuity knowledge and sales results. Her personal knowledge and insight on annuity products has helped several companies, including The Standard. I would highly recommend Sheryl and Wink.”
R. Lane, The Standard
“Working with Sheryl and her team at Wink has been a great experience. I’ve always been pleasantly surprised at the teams knowledge of the indexed-linked insurance space and their willingness to help with anything I’ve asked of them. From a reports standpoint, not only does Wink provide insightful information in a clear and concise manner, they do it in a way that’s very logical and useful. While we buy industry reports from many vendors, I grab our Wink’s reports first when researching something in the indexed-linked insurance space.”
