The inside scope:

• While Northwestern Mutual is known as a life insurance company, we’ve morphed into full service financial planning and take a holistic approach to planning with our clients focused on Risk and Wealth Management. We sponsor you for your securities exams right away so that you are able to focus on not only insurance but investments as well.

• The way our advisors build their book of business is primarily through their own centers of influence/natural market. We teach you how to build a referral-based practice through prospecting to be introduced to second and third degree connections to help expand your market.

• Our advisors are paid a few different ways, but primarily through commission and bonuses. We do give you some money to help you get started in your first year and higher commissions for the first three years. Every year your clients remain with you, you earn through residual income which continuously grows and acts like a base over time.

Qualifications:

We do not look for candidates with a background in financial services, we are looking for individuals who have had a history of success in their career, whether it be in sales, business development, marketing, teaching, we take people with all different types of background and experiences.

• B.A/B.S. degree preferred
