Sons know best, about annuities at least
Mum knows best, people say, But sometimes they do not, as MetLife’s Mike Farrell found out.
The executive vice president for Metlife's independent distribution group in the US didn't realise how well its annuities product was being plugged until he received a phone call from his mum.

A resounding muted response was her reply, apparently.
