Five Reasons Why Financial Professionals Love Penn Mutual

Despite the turmoil you may have recently read about in the life insurance industry, Penn Mutual has been in growth mode for several years and continues on that path with a very focused strategy. We’re steadfast and focused on growing our career distribution channel, and I encourage anyone considering a job or career change to take a close look at working with Penn Mutual.

Here are the top five reasons why financial professionals love working with Penn Mutual:

1. We don’t believe financial professionals are an expense. Simply put, we treat financial professionals like customers. This contrasts with other firms in the life insurance industry, where financial professionals are considered an expense that needs to be squeezed for every spare bit of extra margin.
2. We’re a financially strong mutual company. As a mutual company, we report to our policyholders, and financial professionals like that we take care of their clients. Policyholders are first in line for us, always. Other companies may report to their shareholders, but not us, because we don’t have any! And, we’ve paid a dividend every year since we were founded in 1847. Since the financial crisis in 2008, Penn Mutual has increased or maintained its dividend scale and over the past five years increased the dividend award payout.^* Our analysis shows that we are unique among our major competitors in this achievement. We’re also focused on America, while other, more profit-oriented companies are giving greater emphasis to international markets.
3. We carry great products. Our product portfolio takes the best offerings of stock companies and mutual companies, combining it into one. We have a very strong whole life product, which is the sweet spot for mutual companies. We have a very strong IUL, which is a product more often associated with stock companies. We have a strong UL. We have a strong guaranteed UL.^** We have strong term insurance and a strong survivorship offering. We run the gamut. We also have competitive annuities and a great broker dealer in Hornor Townsend & Kent.
4. We have exceptional field leadership. Penn Mutual’s industry leaders are heavily involved in GAMA (General Agents and Managers Association), AALU, and The American College. We have a local presence, and our financial professionals appreciate that. We’ve more than doubled in sales and in the number of financial professionals since the financial crisis, our field leadership has grown as well, and it’s grown in diversity. Most of all, our field leadership is passionate about their financial professionals and their success. Like the old saying goes, “people don’t care about how much you know until they know how much you care.” Our leaders care deeply about their financial professionals and are experts at helping them develop their careers.
5. We offer tremendous development opportunities. We’ve taken the best practices of the industry to deliver a platform that helps financial professionals build their practices and their teams. Our financial professional development platform gets a new financial professional off to a successful fast start or helps an experienced financial professional take their practice to the next level. It includes such industry best practices as Advocacy, Sandler Selling, Financial Stories^™ through LEAP^® and teaming.
