I have had several interviews for NYL (New York Life) Insurance.  Fourth one coming up this Tuesday.  The managing partner wants to meet my "support base".  In this case it would be my fiance.  The interviews weren't really interviews.  It was more just open dialog that went over the business, comps, training, and he then opened up the discussion to me.  The meetings were scheduled for 1 hour but always went overtime.  Anybody have any inside scoop on selling insurance, I would greatly appreciate it.  BTW, I've read that NYL paid out General Custers Death Benefit: Gen. Custer's Policy face  I know this is a solid company. Thanks!

I had a long post about my interview with NY Life, and how I thought selling insurance as a vocation wasn't right for me.

After I posted it, I realized you weren't asking for my opinion about whether it was right for me, you were asking for first-hand accounts and insights from people who've actually sold insurance.

So I deleted everything I wrote.

Tell me your opinion about it.  How likely will they offer the position if you are up to the fourth interview with your support base?

I don't have time to type a reply, but will later.  I have been a life ins. agent for 25+ years.  IM me for any specific questions you may have.

I went with a nationally known life ins. company right out of college, and lasted about 6 months. For me, it was the worst job i've ever had in my life.  On the other hand, there are those that love it, and are very very successful.

Did they start you on a burial policy route?

Bump, any replies? Hey Beekeeper, did you get my IM regarding my questions?

Yes, sorry.  I replied that I did not have time for a thoughtful and adequate reply at the time and put it to "Saved" where it is not visible--and forgot about it.  (I was out of town for several days.)  I just replied.  Best wishes--and much success!
