•HA New England Mutual Agent answers some questions about
the money a man can earn
selling life insurance
FIVE YEARS AGO, Bob Yackels was a senior at Michigan How much income can a new agent expect to make?
State College. Today, he's the New England Mutual
agency manager in Davenport, Iowa — an impressive "I'll give you an example of five new men who were trained as
example of the opportunities a career with New a group in one of our eastern agencies. They were between 24
England Mutual can offer a man. There are more than to 31 years old. Only one had any previous experience in life
900 other college trained New England Mutual agents.
Their careers also prove that, in life insurance, income is insurance. By the end of the first year their incomes ranged
in direct proportion to industry and ability. from $3532 to $5645. With renewal commissions, first year earn-
ings would be from $5824 to $9702. The average: $7409."
How does the Company help the agent get started?
''First — a generous financing arrangement which enables the
agent to earn while learning. Second — a comprehensive train-
ing program, including Home Office courses and field supervi-
sion, which develops the professional ability typical of the New
England Mutual representative. Third — a continuing service
which keeps him posted on economic factors involving life in-
surance, and outlines fresh sales techniques and new avenues of
opportunity. Then there is the support afforded by the Com-
pany 's advertising campaign in leading national publications.
You see, it's not only a matter of helping the agent get started.
He's given practical support and service throughout his career."
What would my income prospects be as I gain
experience?
'One of our Company associations, The Leaders', has a member-
ship of nearly 350 successful agents, most of them veterans.
Take the average Leader. He's 46 years old, married, with two
children. He's a college man, owns his own home, and earns
$16,000 a year. But there's no ceiling on earnings or waiting for
opportunity. Your own efforts and ability pay off directly."
How can I tell if life insurance is for me?
"The Company has a proved selection process for determining
your aptitude and will tell you frankly what your chances are
for success. If you're interested, write Vice President L. M.
Huppeler, 501 Boylston Street, Boston, Massachusetts. No
obligation will be implied, either way.
Or if you want, send first for the booklet
below. It tells why 17 men chose a busi-
ness career in life insurance selling."
