Principled Life offers incredible career path opportunities in the life insurance industry. We’re a family-oriented business that is all about doing the right thing while matching our clients with the best life insurance policy for them.
In a national work culture where only 32% of the workforce feels engaged with their job, Principled Life’s brokers’ positive reviews say a lot about where they work. Our team of insurance brokers – based in Saratoga Springs, New York – feel like they have a lot to brag about regarding workplace culture and overall happiness. But don’t take our word for it… See what some of the brokers had to say about TDK themselves (we highlighted parts of this video in an easy read below).
TDK offers an amazing work culture.
For many job searchers, choosing the right career or job begins with the work culture. In fact, work culture is more important than salary in most cases. As many as 88% of job searchers believe work culture is vital for success, and 86% will avoid companies with a bad reputation.
The founders and managers at Principled Life understand the importance of a positive culture and work hard to ensure TDK’s culture is geared toward both community and always doing the right thing. One of the biggest compliments about our office environment came from a broker who said, “The energy here is pretty incredible. There are times to be serious, but there are times when everyone is laughing, and everyone feels comfortable talking to each other. You know that your coworkers will help you no matter what.”
Other coworkers chimed in and agreed that, “It’s something that comes naturally with our group, which is really special,” and that the people working at TDK are “just a great group of people.”
TDK provides you with the tools you need to succeed.
An unfortunate aspect of the sales industry is that employees are not provided with the training they need to succeed. Often, brokers and agents must find and pay for educational resources independently. However, TDK’s brokers feel well equipt to take on the challenges that come with their job thanks to Principled Life’s comprehensive in-house training. One of the agents, who has been with Principled Life for a couple of months, explained, “We have an extremely educational training program. Anyone that joins and goes through the training program… you don’t have to worry. You’re not alone. They’re not going to throw you to the wolves. They’re there to help you.”
And the great part is that this initial training is not the only time brokers are learning and getting better. Brokers who have been with TDK longer also noted, “TDK continuously supports us and definitely gives us all the tools we need to be successful,” and “We’re all getting better every day. You learn something new every day, which is what is exciting about this job… Every day is a different day.”
TDK provides you with inbound leads.
The high-pressure sales environment can take a toll on even the most experienced salespeople. With a meager 2% close rate, it’s no wonder that 67% of salespeople experience burnout. At TDK, the sales environment is effective because the company has done away with the traditional outbound cold calling and lead sourcing. Instead, potential clients reach out to TDK, seeking information about life insurance and the opportunity to purchase a policy.
This approach has been a game-changer for many of our brokers, especially those who are making a career switch and are new to sales. As one of these career changers noted, “The beautiful thing about TDK is that the leads are coming to you. You’re not out there cold calling. They’re calling you, looking for a hand, looking for help. And we’re there to help.”
TDK provides you with meaningful work experience.
People want to know that what they’re doing is making an impact. Purpose is so important that 90% of the workforce may be willing to earn less money to do what matters more – although you won’t have to sacrifice one for the other at TDK. According to TDK’s brokers, many face clients who call in worried that they can’t get the life insurance they need. But in many cases, our brokers are able to help clients see past their age or pre-existing conditions and find a policy that protects their family that’s within their budget. As one of our brokers explained, “Anytime I hear I get a client approved, you know, it just makes me feel satisfied I helped protect a family. That, to me, is rewarding.”
TDK is going places.
Joining a large, established company often means you’re just a cog in the machine — and getting paid accordingly. By contrast, joining a young and growing company is an exciting opportunity to help lay the foundation and grow with the business. Principled Life understands that young companies don’t get very far if their employees don’t believe in its mission. We’re proud that our brokers are very vocal about why they believe in TDK.
“I believe in TDK because it’s a young company. It’s on the ground floor, and you get to be part of the ground-floor experience. I love that. Meanwhile, we’re able to sit here and do something positive and productive for people. That’s important to me.”
“I would say that the company has tripled in size since I started, and we’re able to grow with the company as well, and I love that. I feel like there is so much growth to be had at TDK, and I can’t wait to continue to grow.”
“TDK is definitely a great company to work for, and I think as we get bigger, I can see this company going very, very far.”
TDK provides incredible work-life balance.
People enter the insurance industry because they believe there’s high earning potential and flexible work. However, many sales jobs don’t deliver on that promise, and much of it has to do with the company culture. Because TDK’s culture is all about working hard, getting things done, and then having fun, many brokers feel like they get the best of both worlds – work and play in an environment that supports work-life balance. In fact, one broker said, “I love TDK because, honestly, it’s given me the freedom to be who I want to be, and that’s someone who helps people.”
There’s no other place our brokers would rather be.
At TDK, we offer an unparalleled opportunity for new, experienced, and aspiring life insurance brokers to join a rapidly growing organization with a vibrant company culture. Our unique approach of generating warm, inbound leads and meaningful work has created a supportive and successful environment where brokers can thrive and achieve their full potential. Please reach out if you’re interested in joining our team – we’d love to meet you.
