Nicole C Holland, CLU
Financial Advisor
Region: Central

Before I became a Financial Representative with The Northwestern Mutual Financial Network, I worked as a stockbroker for about six months. Because I was unhappy with the company where I was working I was interviewing with numerous financial service providers when I met my current managing director. I started my career with The Northwestern Mutual Financial Network soon after that meeting.

 

For me, the greatest reward is forming new relationships with all kinds of different people, and seeing them accomplish the goals they have set for themselves. The aspect of my work that I appreciate the most is having flexibility with my schedule and being in control of my own destiny.

 

The greatest challenge for me has been having enough new, quality people to call on. But, I've learned that I can accomplish anything in this business, and elsewhere, as long as I believe in my goal and have a burning desire to accomplish the task.

 

I have qualified for Million Dollar Round Table each year since 1999. I have earned my Chartered Life Underwriter (CLU) designation, and am working toward my Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC) designation. It is my goal to qualify for Forum membership.

 

I met with a gentleman who had three children, and whose wife worked part-time. He needed several thousand dollars of insurance coverage, and he preferred permanent over term. Under his circumstances he could not afford permanent coverage, so I encouraged him to make sure he still protected his family by buying term, which he could convert as his budget allowed. Fortunately he followed my advice because he died prematurely, but the good news is that he bought the term insurance and was able to provide a good future for his surviving family members.

 

Do not try to do things your own way; the systems we have in place work. Fully devote yourself to your career early on because it can provide nice rewards in the future.

 

With the Northwestern Mutual Financial Network we do what we say we will do, and always put the client's best interests first.

 

I enjoy working out, I am active in my church and community, and I enjoy spending quality time with family and friends.
