Become A Financial Representative With Country Financial
|
Posted By: Reginald Culpepper on May 20, 2011 Our recruiters hear it all the time: “I feel overworked and underpaid,” “I can’t grow in my current position - I’ve hit a glass ceiling,” “I am never recognized or rewarded for my efforts and hard work” or “I just want to work for myself and run my own business ... with the backing and support of a stable company.” If you’ve heard yourself saying similar things to your friends and family, you should consider the financial representative career at COUNTRY® Financial. In case you aren’t familiar with us, we’re a Fortune 1,000 insurance and financial services company (we were 599 in 2010!) and we’ve been around since 1925. We offer a full range of insurance and financial services from auto, home and life insurance to estate planning services, investment management and annuities. Our passion is helping others achieve financial security, no matter where they’re starting from - and we are actively looking for entrepreneurial-spirited individuals who share this passion to join our agency team. So, maybe you don’t have experience in this field. Are you still qualified to apply? Strong listening skills and the ability build trust-based relationships are qualities integral to succeed in this career ... along with patience, integrity, a strong work-ethic and the passion to help people. If you feel that you share these qualities, you may have the potential to be successful in this career. In fact, many of our financial representatives don’t always have prior knowledge in the insurance and financial services industry upon joining our agency team. We provide all of the training and support to get started (i.e. a competitive base salary plus commissions, a paid and comprehensive training program, full office start-up for the first 3 - 5 years of employment, marketing assistance, benefit options and more). What our new hires do have is the desire and ability to listen, to educate and to serve. Most importantly, our top financial representatives carry a true passion to help others. What about earning potential? At COUNTRY® your income is completely in your hands – your hard work and determination will help you achieve your own financial security along with your clients’. You receive a base salary (for the first 3 – 5 years as you build your business) plus commissions. We even reward our top producers with incentive programs and first-class travel (we went to Rome in 2011!). The flexibility of running your own business will also offer you more time with your friends and family ... time to give back to your community ... time to travel on your own ... time for any and all of your own hobbies and passions.
