Managing Associate Program

Have you ever been promised a management opportunity that never materialized? Well, you will be happy to know that we don't make empty promises, but give you a clear path to earn a management position with defined goals and targets.

The management track begins with our Managing Associate Program which introduces a Management Skills Framework. It includes: Business Management and Planning, Recruiting and Selection, Training, Development and Coaching, Selling and Marketing, and finally, Activity and Management. The Managing Associate curriculum supports the candidate in learning/experiencing aspects of sales management while maintaining a focus on high levels of personal production. To progress from a New Managing Associate to a Senior Managing Associate, the candidate is expected to demonstrate proficiency in the concepts/skills covered in the curriculum.

You'll work through curriculum that includes both live and virtual workshops.  You'll become highly proficient in our company endorsed selling system with opportunities for different certification levels. When you're ready and have proven yourself, the Senior Managing Associate role goes deeper into the learning and stretches your goals and performance metrics around recruiting and managing a small team.  After you have successfully completed the program, appointment to the Sales Manager typically occurs.

Field Leadership Development Program

If your goals include one day leading an agency, we've got a development plan for you, too.  Sales Managers that have demonstrated high levels of success and productivity can be selected for our Field Leadership Development Program (FLDP).  These elite Sales Managers are provided with a development plan to prepare them for the challenges and rigors of managing an agency.

Members of the FLDP are monitored closely and provided high levels of training coaching, and mentorship from their agency and the home office.  Once an FLDP member is ready and there is an opportunity available, they can be appointed to the General Agent role to run an office of their own.
