At Principled Life, our brokers take pride in their impact on people’s lives by connecting them with the right life insurance policy to protect their families. Many of our brokers have memorable experiences of bringing a smile to a client’s face, especially when working with seniors who initially call us with a negative outlook on their life insurance options. However, our brokers love the challenge of finding the perfect policy for our customers and truly enjoy delivering the good news that affordable coverage is available to them. The brokers pour their passion into helping clients, and the satisfaction of making a difference drives them to provide the best service possible.
One broker recently recalled a transformative moment that cemented their love for selling life insurance and made them dedicated to improving people’s lives through this work.
“One day a client called who was in his fourth year of having cancer, and he desperately wanted to leave something behind for his sister. He had a very invasive surgery coming up soon, and we were able to get him insured and give him peace of mind before going into his operation.”
Memories are made not just through successful sales but also through Principled Life’s supportive work environment. Our brokers looked back to when they first started and some doubted their ability to pass licensing exams, but with their colleagues’ help and encouragement, they believed they could pass – and they did. These supportive moments, along with personal highlights like every time a new broker makes their first sale or the team’s special Monday meetings, have created a strong bond among our brokers that continues to make their work experience at TDK all the more memorable.
The Hardest Part About Being An Independent Life Insurance Broker
Despite the many awesome memories brokers have at work, there are challenges to the job. Handling rude callers and (admittedly) tedious administrative tasks can be tough for new brokers. Despite the occasional rude call, our brokers have learned to stay focused on why they chose this career.
As a new broker, navigating the complex regulations and details of licensing can be overwhelming, but we provide a supportive network of experienced coaches to guide our brokers through mistakes and setbacks. Even on the rare occasion when they can’t find insurance coverage for someone they connected with, our brokers take pride in the positive outcomes they do achieve on a daily basis. So, despite the challenges, the rewards and fulfillment our independent life insurance brokers feel from making a difference in others’ lives make it all worth it.
