AnnuitySpecs, LifeSpecs Rebranded As Wink

A widely-recognized resource in the life insurance and annuity industries has recently rebranded in order to encompass the many products and services offered by the company. Wink, Inc. is now the competitive intelligence firm behind the #1 source for annuity and life insurance product information- the AnnuitySpecs and LifeSpecs tools. Wink is also distributing Wink’s Sales & Market Report, the longest-running, most comprehensive source of indexed insurance product sales and trends. The rebrand to Wink encompasses all of the company’s tools, reports and resources under one name, one new dynamic website, in order to ensure the company’s clients remain the most informed in the industry, via a new, innovative, and progressive approach.

Wink Vice President, Victoria L. Peterson, describes the name “Wink” as representing the company’s mission, personality and culture. “We are a competitive intelligence firm (and we’ve got the intel that you need *wink*). We are fun, young, and dynamic. This brand not only describes our company aptly, but it also encompasses our many products and services.”

Wink’s new single source solution is LooktoWink.com, providing comprehensive, updated and timely life insurance and annuity product information. The website houses the AnnuitySpecs and LifeSpecs tools, providing clear, standardized product specifications; along with an extensive search engine allowing side-by-side comparisons. Wink’s Sales & Market Report provides, on a quarterly basis, comprehensive sales information on indexed annuity and indexed life products; plus, analysis and updated details on all of the indexed insurance products available today.

Wink’s founder is President and CEO, Sheryl J. Moore, the foremost authority in the indexed life & indexed annuity markets.  Ms. Moore has worked in the research and development of these products for over a decade and is committed to the advocacy of the life insurance industry.  “The Wink way is to provide competitive intelligence tools to life insurance and annuity home offices, distributors, sales professionals, and consulting firms. We don’t do it with a straight face and a stiff upper-lip; we make insurance AWESOME,” proclaimed Ms. Moore about Wink’s mission to provide the best industry intelligence.
