The different pathways that lead to becoming a successful financial representative with Northwestern Mutual are as varied and unique as the representatives themselves. No matter what your background may be, Northwestern Mutual provides opportunity for women who are looking to begin a career as a financial representative, build strong relationships, and leave a lasting impact on their clients' lives.
Mother of three and full-time financial representative, Jessica Ping said, “A lot of people want to work with female financial representatives because we’re more empathetic and better at building strong relationships with clients.” Beth LaPierre, another Northwestern Mutual representative mirrors this by adding, “A year into this career, I looked at who I was being referred to and realized that 80 percent were women. So I decided to prospect and work with professional, stay-at-work moms because many times they are the decision makers. People told me that I was crazy for leaving out half of my market, but eight years later, it still works for me.”
Northwestern Mutual is proud to support women of all walks of life by offering to financial representatives opportunities for career growth, autonomy to navigate busy schedules, and exceptional income potential to financial representatives.
