Hear from our professionals
With unlimited ways to grow professionally and unwavering support. Bankers Life invests in your success.
I don’t consider myself a salesperson. Instead, I think of myself as an educator. I like to teach clients about their options as they get older and their lives change. This is a career that I can feel good about.
The key to long-term success as a financial services professional is a commitment to life-long learning and personal growth. As the world becomes more complex, clients need a better-prepared partner to help them achieve their financial goals and personal dreams.
The training, support, encouragement and sharing is beyond any company I have worked for in the past.
I love what we can do for our clients. There is regular training to help you overcome areas for which you may struggle. There is a lot of support offered. You are never alone, and if you want to be successful, then you will be.
I joined Bankers Life because of the financial opportunity, autonomy of running a business and opportunity to become a financial advisor.
I didn’t really know anything about Medicare or insurance when I came to Bankers Life. Now it’s my passion.
Understanding how much value our products bring to families is what motivates me. I was nervous about being new to the financial industry when I started at Bankers, and now I can’t imagine doing anything else.
I came from the healthcare field and knew absolutely nothing about insurance. My managers and coworkers at Bankers made sure I had all of the knowledge I needed to become successful.
My job is to recognize problems and create a solution. It’s not pushy – doing right by people is my duty.
When I first started, I had no experience in the financial industry. Putting in the time and effort, and really diving into the training and everything Bankers Life offers allows me to flourish and continue to grow in this business.
Not being in sales or insurance previously, I invested time into my training. I built up my product knowledge and the sales process, which, in turn, grew my confidence. Now I set goals for myself, and my commission grows each year.
I was a complete introvert before starting at Bankers Life. This job puts me in situations outside of my comfort zone, but through the support of my managers and other team members, I am growing and thriving in ways I never dreamed were possible.
I came from the healthcare field, so working at Bankers was quite the transition. I was not in my element at first, but the training and support I received helped me welcome the challenge. I love being in charge of my career, my financial future, and my success.
Frequently asked .
If I have no prior insurance, financial services or sales background. Can I apply?
Our financial professionals come from diverse backgrounds. We’ll provide resources to help you study for and pass your licensing exams. After that, our award-winning training program will teach and guide you through everything you need to learn. Check out our training section for more information.
Does Bankers Life reimburse for licensure?
Bankers Life agents are provided pre-licensing training free of charge; individuals will need to pay for the state exam required to sell life and health products in their state. Based on your production, you may be eligible for bonuses based on licensure costs. After you are appointed with Bankers Life, all company training is provided at the company expense.
How long is training?
This depends on your comfort level. You will begin your journey by studying for and passing your state licensing exam. This is completed at your own pace, but we recommend taking no more than 2-3 weeks for this step. After becoming licensed and appointed with Bankers Life, our award-winning custom training spans your first several weeks to months with the company. We teach you about our sales processes, our products and provide in-field training, but you aren’t stuck in an office the whole time – you will be working side by side in the field with experienced professionals. After your initial training, your development continues for the duration of your career with Bankers Life with training offerings geared to take your career where you want to take it.
Do I get paid during training?
This is a commission position. While training time is not paid, you do have the opportunity to begin earning commissions and bonuses as soon as you are appointed with us. To help you get started, the company matches your initial sales up to $5K and offers additional matching programs during your first year.
What does commission/ compensation look like?
Your base compensation is 100% commission, so your earning potential is unlimited! There are many new agent bonus programs as well to support your strong start.
What kind of career growth is available?
Once you become a financial professional, you have the ability to become a leader as part of our management team or grow your opportunity as a Financial Representative.
