What You Will Do
In considering any career change, many questions may arise, such as: What
will be my responsibilities? How will I be trained? How will I be compensated?
The answers to these questions depend on many factors. When you sell insurance
or financial services, you're not merely selling products, you're developing
relationships. Your relationship with your customers, as well as the trust they
place both in you and in the products you offer, are critical components to your
ultimate success. Agents provide very intimate services in the insurance and
financial services marketplace. They meet with and know their clients on a personal
level. The responsibilities of an agent include: contacting new people, meeting
with them and fact-finding to gather necessary information regarding their present
situation, providing analysis of situations and, ultimately, presenting solutions
that help meet objectives.
Sales Training and Career Development
If you are selected to join New York Life, you'll make a commitment to the
Company, but the Company will also make a commitment to you. With New York Life,
you embark on a lifetime of learning and professional development through comprehensive
training in insurance and financial services.
Professional development occurs through NYLIC University . It's a program
designed to train and develop agents throughout their sales careers. The first
phase is Career Development School , during which you'll begin the process of
getting your insurance licenses. You'll receive a full introduction to products
and selling skills, including how to develop your client base.
After an initial six months of sales training, you'll spend two years in the
Associate Program, an intensive experience that's focused on life insurance marketing,
product selling, and technical knowledge. Upon completion, you'll be on your
way to developing expertise in a selected area in the workplace or in the personal
market, addressing individual needs.
The next level of NYLIC University is the School of Professional Development
, which offers specialized courses combining class instruction with self-study.
New York Life strongly encourages its agents to make a commitment to lifetime
learning. For this reason the Company provides tuition reimbursement to Agents
and Registered Representatives upon completion of certain industry courses.
As your sales career develops, you may wish to move into management. The Company
is structured to support you in reaching this goal. Many of today's senior executives
began their careers as sales agents in the field.
