Summary

As you prepare to transition from campus to career, you’re likely looking for an opportunity to put your education to work while making a difference in the world around you. If that’s the case, consider a Bankers Life’s insurance sales agent career, a unique opportunity to learn the insurance industry from the ground-up while impacting the lives of your clients. In many ways, our agents are entrepreneurs. As an independent contractor, you build a client base through our exceptional leads system and manage your own business. But with Bankers Life, you enjoy the support of a national sales organization and leadership team. In this position, you will have the opportunity to sell a wide range of Bankers Life insurance products, including:

• Health insurance

• Long-term care/home health care insurance

• Life insurance

• Annuities

Your success and ours go hand-in-hand. We strive to reward your achievements with competitive compensation, bonuses, and other incentives. As an agent, you’ll earn commissions on the products you sell with no cap on annual earnings. Plus, most products offer renewal compensations throughout the life of the policy, which helps you build your income over time.

In addition, we have a special incentive for recent college graduates. If you are a recent college graduate able to obtain your state insurance license and become appointed with a Banker’s Life agent number within 12 months of graduation, you are eligible for our entry-level Graduate Agent Program.
