WEST DES MOINES, IA--(Marketwired - April 14, 2016) - The Insured Retirement Institute (IRI) recognized Sammons Retirement Solutions Inc. for its PracticeWell Adviser Success Strategies Program, which is designed to help independent financial professionals create dialogues with clients on issues such as multi-generational planning.

"We created the PracticeWell Adviser Success Strategies Program with one goal in mind: to make it easy for advisers to initiate and maintain meaningful client conversations. And frankly, the response was tremendous. To achieve that and be recognized by IRI makes this program all that much more rewarding."
