Bankers Life careers and employment

This job/position is what you make it. if you have a potential customer base, you should do well. If not, then you may want to research this career as it is all commission.

This is a COMMISSION ONLY JOB. Everything is unpaid, but at least the company pays for the courses to get you licensed. The courses took me more than a month and a half and during that time, I had absolutely zero income. You are basically a glorified telemarketer with almost every day being filled with calls to people who, 49/50 times want nothing to do with you. Most people set up an in-person meeting with you at their house so they can get free information and then you leave poorer than when you arrived. You will be expected to drive to all of your appointments where the company wont pay for any of the miles you drive and all wear and tear on your car is your responsibility. It is recommended to new agents that you give this job 40 hrs or more a week but also get a second job so you can afford to have this job. After all of that, I found out I was only licensed to sell life insurance so all of the medicare sales I had done with my manager were worthless and i needed a second license to get any commission from medicare sales in the future, In 5 months and literally thousands of phone calls, I made $644.

I should have listened to the reviews on here, but being a fool I wasted my money and energy for a company that does not even pay a penny. They make you cold call all day and their so called leads are nothing but random people's numbers and names with zero interest in buying insurance from you. They lie and deceive you during the interview. Please save yourself a time and run away from bankers life as far away as possible. You are better off working at a fast food restaurant that at least pay you for being physically present there.

Its too much effort too little $ they want agents to work 10 hour days. The learning is valuable! if you sre new to the industry the knowledge from training is valuable. overall .5 over 5 would not waste much time there.

Mostly cold calling to make sales appointments. Toughest part of the job is to get to a yes for an appointment. Once you do that you can go and sell.

I loved working for Banker’s life. It kept you busy as you owned your own business. You are fully responsible for how much money you make. A lot of cold calling.
