New York Life is a recognized leader in Cultural Markets We are also active in the following cultural markets:
  • African American
  • Asian Indian
  • En Espanol
  • Chinese
  • Korean
  • Vietnamese
    • What does the typical New York Life insurance agent look like? If you said Caucasian male, mid 40s, you would be right — if this were the 1950s. Back then, that description fit so well that actor Robert Young modeled his character for the popular television series "Father Knows Best" after his own New York Life agent, Frank Nathan of Beverly Hills, California. Today, the face of New York Life agents is changing right along with the country's demographics. Over the past few years, there has been a tremendous influx of Chinese, Koreans, Asian–Indians, and Hispanics in communities across the country. The census bureau estimates that in 2000 there were 26.4 million foreign–born residents, almost 10 percent of the total population. Not only are these groups growing rapidly, but their ongoing economic success has brought a new vibrancy to local economies. As a result, the faces of New York Life agents today are as diverse as the communities they live in and serve. That diversity extends to women who make up an increasing segment of New York Life sales force. The opportunity to become an agent is available to anyone who can meet selection criteria and is willing to be trained and work hard.

    Management Opportunities
    Chairman Sy Sternberg consistently refers to Agency managers as the company's Field generals, an indication of the importance of their leadership role in recruiting and developing agents, increasing sales, and enhancing New York Life's image in their communities. With NYLIC University's management training curriculum, managers receive comprehensive training and support that not only smoothes the transition from agent to manager, but provides career long support.

    "There's more activity now in management training than there's been for years," says Morris Sims, CLU, ChFC, Vice President, Agent and Management Training. "The partner development program within NYLIC University provides a curriculum that has national consistency. Each year we gather partners from all across the country for extensive training in our Dallas NYLIC University facility. Through NYLIC University, over 200 field managers annually participate in hands on management training. Management development is a central part of our strategy for continued growth.

    Supporting the Managing Partner
    The curriculum is designed to support the Managing Partner's efforts to develop successful New York Life partners. Managing Partners can control the pace of the training and provide new or prospective managers with periodic evaluations, feedback, and guidance. The program is organized into four major courses and three schools:

    1. The Management Orientation Course helps management candidates acquire the fundamental skills they'll need to get off to a fast start. They'll learn how to prospect, interview, and begin to supervise new agents. They'll also complete a computer based evaluation of recruiting knowledge fundamentals. The projects and guided discussions in this course were designed to help Managing Partners and candidates evaluate their potential for success in a career in management.

    2. The Management Fundamental Course focuses closely on the fundamentals of recruiting plans, and selecting and appointing new agents. In this course, new managers develop a recruiting plan with detailed steps for implementing it. This course is completed by new partners prior to their attendance at the Fundamental Career School.

    3. The Management Intermediate Course — concentrates on the necessary skills for developing agents and maximizing their performance. This course precedes attendance at the Management Intermediate School.

    4. The Management Advanced Course is designed to prepare the partner for promotion. This course helps develop and refine the skills needed to assume more extensive duties and responsibilities in the General Office. This course is completed prior to attending the Management Advanced School.

    Mutual support and partnership play an important role in management training. The regional zone offices contribute to these efforts by conducting management workshops and by monitoring progress through routine reports and office visits. The Home Office and zones will coordinate training events and activities to reinforce training objectives curriculum, while minimizing duplication.
