We’re looking for people who want to make a lasting impact on the financial well‑being of individuals, families, and small businesses.

You’ll also be eligible to get rewarded and acknowledged with sales incentives and professional development trips for our top‑performing insurance agents.

Beyond this training and support, New York Life will equip you with the tools you need to succeed day to day, including experts on hand to answer your questions and a suite of digital sales, prospecting, and marketing tools that will help you attract and retain clients with web, social, and email content.

New York Life provides a range of products, including life insurance, annuities, long‑term care insurance, disability income insurance, and investment products such as mutual funds. You’ll also be able to specialize and gain expertise in different areas, such as by becoming a financial advisor with Eagle Strategies LLC to offer wealth management and advisory services, estate planning strategies, and business solutions.

You have the power to determine your own income with our commission‑based compensation. In 2023, the average income of our agents who met annual minimum sales production requirements was $117,359.
