Efforts are Part of Nationwide Initiative to Attract Thousands of Financial Professionals and Interns
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (April 2, 2012) — Northwestern Mutual-Louisville, Inc. aims to add 28 financial representatives and 60 financial representative interns in 2012. The effort is part of the nationwide effort by Northwestern Mutual to recruit more than 2,000 financial representatives and more than 3,000 financial representative interns in 2012.
Expanding its network of financial representatives is imperative for keeping pace with the demonstrated need for Northwestern Mutual‚s tailored planning approach, and its asset protection, growth and savings solutions. A poll conducted by Harris Interactive lastyear found that Americans overwhelmingly prefer choices that deliver higher quality, long-term growth and guarantees, versus options that are cheaper and faster in the short term, but may be higher risk or deliver less return over the long term. This trend is underscored by the fact that in 2011, Northwestern Mutual added more than 350,000 new policies, the largest annual total in almost 20 years.
More Americans are taking action to address their financial needs today, with nearly 70% claiming that “Getting my financial house in order is a priority for me,” according to Harris Interactive survey commissioned by Northwestern Mutual and released in 2011.
The Kentucky & Southern Indiana Group of Northwestern Mutual, with 120 financial representatives in sixteen offices in the region,is adding new qualified financial representatives and interns at a fast pace.
“More people are looking for trusted financial guidanceand they‚re finding this advice from our Financial Representatives,” says Dan Rivers, Managing Partner. “We are in a strong position to add financial professionals to keep up with the high demand among consumers for financial advice and financial security.”
