TrainingBuilding a successful practice as a Northwestern Mutual Financial Representative requires motivation to succeed, hard work, and confidence in your abilities and knowledge of our products and services. You will gain this confidence through proper training and development – both top priorities within our group. Our strategic development plan incorporates best practices that will guide you through each stage of your career – from establishing your initial business plan, managing a growing practice, and succession planning. We are with you every step of the way. You will receive fundamental industry and sales training, access to online educational resources, and will be able to take part in mentoring and joint work programs to gain hands-on experience.
Career Development
Career development depends on a number of factors:
Planning Process Our competitive advantage, within the financial services industry, is to focus on the planning process. This process involves understanding people’s hopes and dreams. In face-to-face meetings, we gather both factual and feeling information and begin discussion. Having first understood what our clients want to achieve, we can then provide a detailed financial plan/analysis to help them identify their blind spots. Finally, we use world-class products and expert advisors to implement specific recommendations for our clients.
Development
Development is broken down into four parts:
Executing the art and science of Building a Financial Services Clientele requires high expectations of our career representatives. Our mentors are committed to holding their career representatives accountable to the daily effort required to achieve their visions. Scott Schwertfeger holds daily group “huddle” meetings to record and measure their efforts and results. While having high expectations, the Schwertfeger Group provides staff support to leverage the Representative’s consulting time. In this way Scott Schwertfeger is able to coach effectively and ensure the group’s success.
Coaching and Mentoring
A variety of coaching and mentoring programs are also offered, including:
Record Activity Compared to Expectation Program (RACE)
These daily meetings with a coach during your first two months keep you on track.
Weekly Activity Coaching
These weekly programs assist you in developing sound sales and business practices (after RACE).
Weekly and Monthly Client Builders
These weekly and monthly study groups foster the growth and development of your business.
Internship
As full-time college students, interns generally work 15 to 20 hours per week developing business – and client building skills. In many respects, our interns follow the same process for establishing their careers as our full-time Financial Representatives.
