| Being an independent financial services professional means that you are your own boss! Find out what this actually means.
Independence – You decide how to manage your time and organize your work. In other words, you are responsible for your own success.
Freedom – You choose the market in which you want to work (individual or business) and the products you want to offer
Your income is in direct proportion to your efforts and your determination The only limitations are those you impose on yourself! | |  |
Recurring commissions Your income does not come only from commissions on new sales, but also from commissions on renewals.
A financial allowance for the first 12 months after you are hired. This is not a loan or a line of credit; but rather financial assistance to help you launch your activities. In fact, this is one of the best financial support tools in the industry.
Support with your communication and marketing efforts.
Financial support to purchase business blocks – More than one third of the financial services industry’s representatives will retire between now and 2015. You can take advantage of this unique opportunity to purchase business blocks while benefiting from financial support.
Work independently or as part of a financial institution
Reality for a representative who works for a financial institution is very different from that of an independent representative in our financial services distribution network. Compare for yourself!
