This training program is focused on developing individuals for successful careers in sales. Our Associate Sales Representatives learn how to partner with brokers to provide customers with comprehensive insurance solutions.

What to expect :

  • You'll start at one of our national training centers where you'll gain in-depth knowledge of our business through intensive classroom-based study and opportunities to network and learn from senior sales leaders.
  • Following this experience, you'll be assigned a territory and get thorough on-the-job training with local sales leaders and mentors before gaining your own book of business toward the end of the 18-month program.
  • What you'll gain :

  • Learn to actively develop and implement sales strategies
  • Mature your strategy and consulting abilities
  • Build relationships with brokers
  • Enhance your understanding of client care

  • We'll also provide you with study time and educational materials to secure your insurance license.
  • How you'll accelerate your career :

    Your training and experiences during this program will be highly visible to US Life Insurance senior leaders. Upon successful completion of the program, this career path will be responsible for sales growth and market expansion for an assigned regional territory and your earning potential will shift to depend on the volume of successful sales you bring in.
