Description

College grads and young professionals who want to be in insurance and financial services can have the opportunity to build their book of business from the get-go. As a New York Life Insurance Company Financial Professional (Agent), you will not only manage your own book of clients but also provide clients with insurance options and customer service. You will help your clients prepare for long-term financial stability and security.

New York Life is currently seeking self-motivated, driven individuals with a passion for making a positive impact on people’s lives. Your collegiate experience as a student, a member of student organizations, a leader, or a student-athlete has given you the skills you need to launch a career in a company with a well-known reputation and resources. Your entrepreneurial spirit and desire for personal growth can take you wherever you want to go, and New York Life can help.

As a licensed Financial Professional (Agent), you will have the freedom to build your network of clients and prospects who are looking for insurance and financial solutions. Many of our Agents started their careers with New York Life, right out of college. Entry-level candidates are encouraged to apply.

Here is what distinguishes this opportunity with New York Life:

• Continue to build or, if qualified, move into management – you choose to pursue the path that interests you. Criteria for management are defined and quantifiable.
• Training – NYLIC University: our comprehensive and well-respected training program.
• Constant support - During and after formal training, you will receive continuous assistance from your manager and the support team in your office to help you succeed. New York Life offers the opportunity to build your own practice with the support of a Fortune 100 company. On-site trainers and product consultants are available to you, and this is coupled with an entire marketing division within the company located in the Home Office dedicated to providing agents with prospecting and sales ideas, product knowledge, and application — we want our new agents to be successful!
• Integrity – Represent a company you can believe in, be proud of, and find a career home with.

Responsibilities

• Schedule appointments and meet with potential clients.
• Make product recommendations to help clients meet their financial goals.
• Provide ongoing service and support to existing policyholders.
• Be a structured and coachable team player who is open to training, development, and further education.
• Discipline to be in business for yourself, but not by yourself.

Qualifications

You do not need sales, business development, marketing, or insurance experience to begin your road to success in this role! All you need is passion and a desire to make a difference. Our comprehensive training program, including preparation for your state Life and Health licensing, will help give you the tools and resources you need to succeed and create the career success you envision.

We are looking for people who possess the following background/characteristics:

• Highly self-motivated and self-disciplined with the ability to work independently.
• Outgoing personality with the ability to develop relationships (i.e., “People Person”).
• Fearless, positive attitude and willingness to be accountable for results.
• Organized, detail-oriented, and excellent time-management skills.
• Desire for continuous learning.
• Good communicator—excellent listening skills and ability to explain complex information in a simple and concise manner.

Compensation

$75,000 - $115,000 at plan yearly
