As a New York Life Agent we have a saying, "this is the toughest career you will ever Love!"
They have the best training program in the industry, and the earning potential is outstanding. There is a lot of calling as there is with anyone in this industry, but it is completly up to you how much of it is cold calling, or if you want to use warm leads. The first three years has a training allowance, that you will be slowly weened of, and in your fourth year you will be 100% commission based (unless you get the correct licensing to charge a fee for your advice). This is one of the few proffessions where you can truly get paid what you're worth.
If you truely want to make a difference in the lives you come accross, this is the company to do it with. I have been with them 2 yrs, and I would never go anywhere else!

I am an agent with New York Life since February of this year. I have never grown so much in my life as I have from the environment and training that I have received.
Insurance is not an easy business, if you are willing to work, then you will be successful. If you want a paycheck for showing up then this isn't the career for you.
I love what I do. I am constantly amazed at the things I discover about myself, people, circumstances...everything!
If you are bored in your current position and want a challenge. I suggest insurance as a career and New York Life as an employer. They've been around for over 160 years, they're doing things RIGHT!

I started on the career-side of the business too - with John Hancock. The career side is definitely the place to start because the contracts are so heavy for the managers and upline, they are willing to invest in you as a producer. I only left once I felt I had learned what I could. Most agents don't make it regardless of where they start, but a strong brand and dedicated managers will help.

I have a friend who was with New York Life. He told he a few years back that after he'd been there 20 years, he was 'vested' in his clients and earned continuing commissions on their business -- this is/was their form of retirement, I guess.
Other than that, I have no first hand knowledge. And it might have changed.
Obviously, there'll be lots of cold calling ... I'd guess 50 plus per day, 300 days a year to get started. [Which is what my son did when he started with one of their competitors.]
