Compensation & Perks

• Target Annual Earnings: $90,000 (Comprised of a $70,000 base salary + commission overrides)
• Performance Override: 0.75% override on all paid annuity business in your assigned region (uncapped)
• The “Upside”: Direct mentorship from a tenured leader and a structured, performance-based promotion track to senior sales leadership.
