What we’re looking for...
We’re looking for people who want to make a lasting impact on the financial well-being of individuals, families, and small
businesses. This is not just a sales job—it’s a career with purpose and opportunity. You’ll provide peace of mind to your clients
while helping them navigate challenges that many of them find complex and confusing, such as preparing for retirement and
saving for college. As an insurance agent, you will have the opportunity to see the positive impact of your work for years to
come. You will grow personally and professionally along with your clients.

What we offer...
Training and development
We’ll equip and train you with a multifaceted approach that includes an industry-leading learning platform, personalized
coaching from dedicated training professionals, and the ability to obtain industry professional designations. We are so
committed to training that we’ll subsidize it in your first two full-time contract years, providing you with additional funds,
if you qualify, to help keep you on your feet while you complete our training program and grow your business. You’ll also be
eligible to get rewarded and acknowledged with sales incentives and professional-development trips for our top-performing
insurance agents.

Digital tools
Beyond this training and support, New York Life will equip you with the tools you need to succeed day-to-day, including experts
on hand to answer your questions and a suite of digital sales, prospecting, and marketing tools that will help you attract and
retain your clients with web, social, and email content.

Products and solutions
Together with its subsidiaries, New York Life provides a range of products, including life insurance, annuities, long-term care
insurance, disability income insurance, and investment products such as mutual funds through our broker-dealer arm, NYLIFE
Securities LLC (member of FINRA and SIPC), a Licensed Insurance Agency, ensuring that the solutions you develop with
your clients can help them and their families achieve their financial goals. You’ll also be able to specialize and gain expertise in
different areas, such as by becoming a financial advisor with Eagle Strategies LLC, our investment advisory division, to offer
wealth management and advisory services, estate planning strategies, and business solutions.

Human guidance
When you join New York Life, you’re joining a strong team with peer-to-peer support options like study groups, mentorship,
and other opportunities to engage with your fellow insurance agents.

How we will compensate you.
You have the power to determine your own income with our commission-based compensation. In 2023, the average income of our agents under the N8 and N9 Agent’s Contract who met annual minimum sales production requirements was $117,359.
Individual agent performance will determine your income. Benefits for full-time agents include medical, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance, as well as a 401(k) and pension.
