Get experience as a financial representative

Imagine a teen-ager still able to go to college after the death of a parent. A business that stays open while its owner recovers from serious injury. A couple enjoying their retirement after years of hard work.

That’s all likely possible because these people had a plan for their financial future. It’s also likely that a trusted financial professional helped them identify their goals and put that plan into action.

The personal, professional and financial rewards of a career in sales in this industry are limitless.

Building a foundation for your success

At the Principal Financial Group, some of our most successful financial representatives came to us without financial services sales experience. But what they did have:

  • An entrepreneurial spirit
  • Community connections and natural networking ability
  • A desire to help people set and achieve their financial goals

By becoming a financial professional with The Principal, you’ll help small-to medium-sized business owners plan for their futures. You’ll also help their employees ensure their families have a financially secure future. You’re able to do this in a work environment that lets you be independent yet provides the support you need.
It starts with a four-month development phase – a structured program to provide the knowledge and skills necessary to launch your career. We’ll be there with you every step of the way. After successful completion, you’ll rely on what we call “The Principal Powerful Resources”:

  • Local wholesale and management support
  • Leading-edge technology
  • Home office expertise
  • Practice management, marketing support and business consulting
  • On-going professional development

Minimum requirements

  • 5 years of work experience, minimum annual income of $40,000
