Uncertain Financial Times

You may be seeing a drop in the number of interested candidates or have heard candidates asking how the market volatility is impacting the career. One of our biggest pieces of advice is to stay current on the news via LinkNet or your favorite app.

If candidates or community members ask you anything specifically, here are a couple common questions and answers:

Q: Is Coronavirus and the current state of the market impacting your Financial Advisors?

A: Yes, absolutely. It is impacting the market, which impacts all clients, no matter what firm they are with. That said, Northwestern Mutual is a 163-year-old company that has weathered many financial storms. In fact, we factor it into our planning with clients— that is one of the benefits to Financial Security Planning. Our Advisors are currently working around-the-clock to make sure client needs are met and questions are answered.

Q: Is this a bad time to become a Financial Advisor?

A: Not at all. In fact, one could argue that it is a great time to become an Advisor. It is during financial volatility that people need a Financial Advisor more than ever. It is times like this that set us apart from others in the industry.
