Income Potential

A Northwestern Mutual Financial Network representative’s income potential is virtually unlimited. Earnings are directly related to sales resulting from client relationships. There are four cornerstones of competitive compensation that reward and protect network representatives. The cornerstones include:

Multiple revenue stream opportunities
   
Retirement programs
   
Group benefit options
   
Investment in the representative’s business financially, developmentally and through infrastructure. These additional resources are intended to help representatives get started in the business, increase their revenue flows and reduce their expense burdens.
   
For our most elite producer group (roughly the top 5%), the median gross revenue* (before expenses) was $431,200 in 2003-2005.
   

For new network representatives with one full calendar year of service in 2003-2005, average gross revenue* (before expenses) amounted to:

$41,900 for all first-year representatives

$92,500 for representatives in the top quartile (top 25%)

* Includes commissions and fees on sales of Northwestern Mutual life insurance, annuities, disability income insurance and long-term care insurance. All data is stated in 2005 dollars.

   
Financial representatives participate in a two-part retirement program consisting of defined benefit and defined contribution plans funded by Northwestern Mutual.
   

Representatives also participate in a benefits package that includes comprehensive medical coverage, flex programs, group life and accidental death benefit, and disability income insurance.
