Info About Insurance

If you boil down what we do to its essence, we basically help others achieve and protect their dreams.

Our agents are the dedicated professionals who work closely with our customers to protect their most important assets. It’s not something everyone can do. It takes talented, business-minded people who are ready to run their own successful Nationwide Insurance Agency.

Nationwide then offers the industry-leading resources needed to help agents start and grow their agencies to the mutual benefit of the agent and the company.

The Agent Opportunity

A Nationwide agent is an independent contractor who sells Nationwide products…  exclusively. But it’s not just selling. Our agents often find themselves playing the role of entrepreneur, consultant, provider, community leader and professional.

Entrepreneur
As a Nationwide agent, you get to:

• Make your own decisions
• Establish your own business goals and work to make them real
• Determine how you will grow and invest in your business
• Build a sales staff
• Manage an office
• Establish a budget

Consultant
Often, it’s sage advice and wisdom that draw people to our agents. Individuals, families and businesses – including professionals like lawyers, bankers and real estate agents – depend on the advice and valuable service our agents provide to help them meet their goals.

 

Provider
You know you‘re doing good work when you get to protect and secure the needs of others. Just imagine the sense of pride and achievement that comes with helping others:

• Protect their homes, cars and personal possessions
• Plan for their kids' education
• Work toward a comfortable retirement
• Meet their lifestyle needs in the event of a premature death or disability

Community Leader
Many Nationwide agents are asked to join and serve as a leader in various community groups, civic affairs and service organizations. It’s a great way to give something back to the community that helped you reach your goals.

Professional
Remember, not everyone is cut out to be a Nationwide agent.  You'll continually have the opportunity to develop your expertise to better meet the ever changing needs of your customers.
