The Lifetime Income Process (LIP) is software combined with community that is designed to give advisors the tools they need to help clients build a clear, confident, and effective retirement strategy.
Every day, financial advisors face a frustrating challenge—helping clients truly understand what they need for retirement. You know the numbers. You see the gaps. But when you sit across from a client, the conversation too often turns into a confusing maze of projections, risks, and what-ifs.
Clients hesitate. They don’t get it.
They push back. They’re unsure.
They delay decisions that could secure their future.
It’s not your expertise that’s the problem. It’s the disconnect between what you know and what they understand. When clients don’t feel certainty, they stall, leaving you stuck in endless follow-ups and explanations—convincing instead of leading.
LIP combines a Non-Convincing Language philosophy with the most understandable retirement planning software on the market. The result? A process that simplifies the complex, builds trust faster, and gives both you and your clients the clarity and confidence needed to move forward.
This graph's green line represents the ideal retirement—one where income steadily increases over time. Traditional advice suggests reducing income in retirement, but who wants to live on less as costs rise? Instead, retirement should provide an income that grows with inflation and your lifestyle—why not even get a raise when you retire?
LIP simplifies retirement planning by revealing a common reality—about 95% of tested plans show the red line dropping off the green well before age 90, often in the early 70s. This pattern holds true across all income levels and backgrounds. With just this simple graph, clients instantly feel the impact—no convincing required.
We challenge you to put your clients’ data in the LIP software. What do their models look like? Are you 100% positive you have all
the needed information from your clients to give them a complete picture of their retirement outlook?

The Lifetime Income Process is a planning system that focuses on the truth. LIP shows clients and advisors the truth of a family's financial situation. It gives me confidence that we are giving the client the whole truth. It also gives me confidence that we are beginning at the right place to build a plan that helps the client achieve their goals. It gives the client confidence...they can see very clearly whether they are in great shape financially or whether they need to make changes. Either way (with LIP), we can show them very quickly the answer to keeping their plan on track or how to fix their plan without shoving a bunch of products down their throat. This puts clients at ease and also gives them hope, clarity and direction for their future.
This has changed my practice from the way I speak to clients, down to how I manage my practice. It gives me the confidence I need without being ‘salesy.’ We have one client in particular that once he and his wife saw the need for accuracy in their retirement planning, they scheduled an additional meeting to make sure they had the most accurate information to plug into the program. Our clients are appreciating the value this program provides.
The Lifetime Income Process gives the new advisor a great deal of confidence to know they can add genuine value to the client or prospect along with offering a uniquely simple approach the client easily understands. LIP has given our clients peace of mind and direction that can only be obtained by using this type of system. It never gets old hearing clients and prospects tell us: "This is what I was looking for;” This is "simple;” "I understand this!" Most comments are also accompanied by tears and laughter that comes only from these (LIP) meetings.

You can literally be up and running in 1 day or less. The software is 100% video trained, so know big manuals to go through. You can have a pretty understanding and be able to build a basic model quickly.
It could, but certainly does not have to. LIP was built to be your software platform or enhance your current toolbox. LIP can be used for basic data gathering and suitability concerns to full estate and retirement planning.
A philosophy, rather than a technique, that will transform the way you communicate. We spend our whole life always trying to convince people of what we believe in or get approval of our position - validation. NCL helps to create real dialogue without the typical verbal jousting that most people experience.
There are videos and podcast to watch and listen. And, we discuss language every week in our weekly training calls. That said, it will be a lifetime journey of working to have better communication in every area of your life.
We strongly believe in people coming together, leaving their pride at the door, and having a desire to learn and share with one another. We desire to have a community of agents and advisors that want to have a larger impact on more people.
We have live weekly training web-meetings in a style that is like having a pier study group available weekly. There is education on products, strategies, sales processes, language, estate planning and much more. There is also a community forum to share ideas and to post needed help.
