- What they liked
Sagicor Life is always up to something!!!! From events , to competitions to promotions. A lot of things to get involved with - a lot of internal development as well. Sagicor invest heavily in its sales team development. There’s also benefits that you get from the group like - mortgage , car insurance, better loan rates , company shares etc . In insurance sales - if you do well your bonus can be VERY meaningful….ie well into the Millions.
- What was challenging
As a Financial Advisor - you eat what you kill. Insurance is not the easiest thing to sell - If you’re not careful you can go months without pay or something solid…. I’ve been in HUGE amount of debt because of poor sales months. (I’m good now ) The work load is HEAVY !! You’re doing 3+ job in one . 1) Finding the Clients 2) on boarding / selling 3) management of clients after the sales Without EXCELLENT time management trust you will suffer. You either learn & pivot or exit the system.
- Their advice
Make sure you’re comfortable with the idea of not earning for a month or two…or even more. Be aggressive when you start - know what you’re about and get to work ASAP! This job can be stressful but VERY life changing ( in a good way ) - learn the craft , listen to your managers and put your head down and WORK !
