Northwestern Mutual came in at #2 in Selling Power magazine's 2016 list of the 'Top 50 Companies to Sell For,' and no other insurance carriers appear on the list.
From Selling Power bio of NWM in the piece:
The award-winning training program for new recruits gets them off to a fast start and helps them maintain a strong performance over time. Careers are developed via professional designations and certifications, with full financial support. Numerous awards, honors, and/or bonuses recognize salespeople ("financial representatives") based on productivity and persistence throughout the year.
From NWM press release:
"The growing demand for financial planning is opening up career opportunities at companies like Northwestern Mutual. We take great pride in providing individuals interested in a financial services career with hands-on training and mentoring from some of the best financial planning professionals in the industry," said NWM SVP Tim Gerend.
In compiling the 2016 rankings, Selling Power evaluated Northwestern Mutual's client growth, hiring and compensation figures, investment of time in training programs, and company recognition and reputation, which includes the company's commitment to community outreach and involvement.
It's the 14th year in a row they've been in the Top 50. While I know plenty of carriers seem to put little emphasis on training these days, there are some others that do. Kinda curious about no other captive carriers making the list.
