Responsibilities
As an intern with the Northwestern Mutual Financial Network, filing and answering phones are not part of your job description. In fact, the responsibilities of a Northwestern Mutual Financial Network intern are precisely those of a career Financial Representative:
Defining target markets
Finding and pursuing clients
Nurturing client relationships
Achieving sales
The Experience
As full-time college students, interns in The Network generally work 15 to 20 hours per week developing networking and business relationship skills by:
-Establishing a Clientele. In many ways, our interns follow the same process for establishing clientele as our career Financial Representatives do.
-Meeting With Clients. You'll set up appointments to discuss your client's current situation.
-Analyzing the Client's Situation. After extensive fact-finding, you'll uncover long-term goals that you will use to determine your client's needs.
-Making Recommendations. After evaluating your client's current situation and goals, you'll determine what products will help fill their needs and present appropriate recommendations to your client.
-Providing Ongoing Service. You'll continue to work with your clients beyond the close of the sale. Most Financial Representatives contact their clients twice per year to determine if any changes in their lives require a further review of their personal plans.
Training and Preparation
New interns are provided with in-depth training courses on the Network's products, policies and procedures, as well as sales data analysis, establishing a clientele and methods of executing a successful sale. Ample time is allotted to the intern to prepare for the state licensing exam that is required for all sales representatives.
Once classes end, each intern is paired with a professional counterpart to begin a shadow program in which the intern observes how their mentor works until they feel comfortable enough to step out on their own.
It's Your Move
If you are one who learns by doing, you'll find that the Northwestern Mutual Financial Network internship program is an intense and, according to our alumni, unparalleled learning experience. Take away the internship's wages and commissions, resume-boosting ability and networking opportunities, and you're still left with an invaluable experience that will enhance your career now and into the future
