Interview with New York Life

[TheCaspian]

The Training is first rate, and the access to product consultants and specialists is even better. They are helpful, bring a wealth of knowledge, and you can even take them on appointments! (No split commission either)

It's not talked about a ton on this website, but there are advantages to working at a captive and it is very easy to exploit those advantages at NYL.

However, you caught me at the tail end of a bad week which saw a bunch of reschedules/cancellations, 2 appointments who didn't want to spend $15 a month on term, and prospecting blues. Don't kid yourself, 100% commission is brutal.

Hang in there and prospect, prospect, prospect.

where were you acquiring that bunch of leads from, warm market or other lead generation?

This is a very true statement of the Pros of working with a captive. You get to know your companies requirements like the back of your hand.

Walk and Talks mostly

One of my friends son is interviewing with NYL soon. He has some credit and bankruptcy issues but I wasn't sure how to answer his questions about how much that will affect his chances if he decides to pursue the opportunity. Anyone familiar with their policy?

It could be a reject since he will have to become securities licensed. I would talk to them honestly about it up front. That is the best approach.

When I interviewed with NYL, the managing partner showed me the rules - they allowed one BK within the last 7 years (I think) and all other outstanding obligations need to have payment arrangements that are current.

YMMV - Your Mileage May Vary.
