When David Fain started his own ice cream business in high school, which grew to help him pay for college, he was unaware that the lessons he learned would be instrumental in getting off to a fast start in a career with the Hoopis Financial Group of Northwestern Mutual.
David spent two years in the consulting business as a Global Marketing Strategist but was unfulfilled and decided to make a change. As a career changer, David knew the challenges would be significant. However, his father gave him some invaluable advice before he started. He said, "Northwestern Mutual has the much deserved reputation as having one of the finest training programs in the industry. Do exactly as they instruct you to do and success will follow."
After one year of "following the system," the results far exceeded David's expectation. Within a year, he qualified for the Million Dollar Round Table, an exclusive honor that is achieved only by a small percentage of all life insurance and financial services professionals worldwide. In addition, he led the company in the central region of the country among his peers. "The support I received from Harry Hoopis, his team and the home office, was instrumental in getting off to a fast start. I recognized early on that if I could get in front of successful people, I had the resources at the office to support me."
The decision for David to join the Hoopis Financial Group could not have been a better one. The culture, training, mentoring and support have allowed him to grow and succeed to his fullest capability. "The transition from a job to a career is a tough one. Looking back, I could not imagine taking the modest risk that has allowed me to build my business and be a good father, husband and community leader." |
