New York Life Response
3moThank you for your feedback. For the first 3 years of an agent’s career, a manager is responsible for providing training, mentorship and support to help their agents succeed on their own. After this period, our agents are encouraged to have an entrepreneurial and independent mindset and proceed as if they are responsible with establishing their own financial services practice. We like to think of our agents as being in business “for themselves but not by themselves.” For this reason, this career is not for everyone. We take your concerns seriously and would like more information. We encourage you to email us at helpusimprove@newyorklife.com if you would like to share specific details about your experience.
