Changed my life for the better

Current Regional Agency Director- Wilmington

Working for the Phelps Agencies has changed my life for the better. I finally work for a company that believes in growth and never holding anyone back! In just 3 1/2 short years ago, I started out as a benefits specialist. Then I moved up to supervisor, then to Agency Director, then to a REGIONAL AGENCY DIRECTOR!!!!

The income you make all depends on your OWN HARD WORK and dedication to helping people. I LOVE the fact that my boss doesn’t determine how much I should get paid or how much I’m worth, I GET TO DECIDE how much I want to get paid and how much I am worth.

I have seen many lives changed, internally (within our offices) and outwardly (our clients). That to me is something you can’t put a price tag on. Work isn’t considered work when you have fun and believe in what you do impacts others. Thank you Phelps Agency for giving me this opportunity! 10/22/20

An amazing blessing…

Current Supervising Agent- Charlotte

This career has been an amazing blessing and has changed my life! This job has allowed me to provide for my family! Also, lets me be home with my family on weekends and holidays! I was nervous at first due to people saying the insurance/commission based field is hard. But, The Phelps Agencies supports and provides you with everything you need to be successful! It has been fun proving those people wrong! I encourage you today to give this job a chance because it can change your life as well! 10/21/20

The support you get from this Agency is exceptional

Current Supervising Agent- Charlotte

Recently I took a risk leaving a six figure job to join the Phelps Agency in order to attain work/life balance. Instead of being on conference calls 12 hours a day I have the opportunity to meet wonderful small business owners and their employees and do something good by providing life insurance and supplemental benefits which so many people need right now.

In addition, thanks to the belief in me of the agency owner and support of my Agency Director and Supervising Agent, I was promoted to Supervising agent within a year. The support you get from this Agency is exceptional or I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t experience that support. In addition, this agency teaches the right processes you need to put in place to be successful and to provide excellent customer service to your clients.

I believe in processes and I believe in good people, both of which you will find at the Phelps Agency. Thank you for the opportunity to join and grow with your team!

Wonderful company to work for

Current Agent in Wilmington

Wonderful company to work for, opportunity of a lifetime. Before The Phelps Agencies, I worked in retail at $10/hr, now I have the ability to make 6 figures a year, along with making my own schedule, and a particularly great leadership team. Would recommend anyone to do business with them or to work for them. 7/14/20

I have always felt The Phelps Agencies cared a lot about the employees

Current Agent in Charlotte

I have been a part of The Phelps Agencies for about 2 years and have always enjoyed working with a great group of people. This is an organization reaches out to find and welcomes hard workers and achievers. When I was first told I could make a 6 figure income here if I do what I am trained to do that I was skeptical but I am so glad I became a part of this agency. I have really never said Thank you for believing in me and giving me this opportunity but and I want to say THANKS and to applaud this organization in the way they handled the recent Covid-19 Pandemic in Charlotte and surrounding cities. I have always felt The Phelps Agencies cared a lot about the employees but it seems they went up and beyond during this crisis. They were concerned about our well being and never pressured us to do anything that we were not comfortable in doing. I was able to keep myself safe and they quickly transitioned over to doing things virtually which allowed us to continue to work and provide for our families. I have always felt this was a great place to work and now I know I am glad I was employed here during this time. Thanks for continuing to help us provide for others. 6/2/20

Being a part of The Phelps Agencies is the definition of a Opportunity of a Lifetime! When I joined the team, I had ZERO experience in the industry.

With that said, your willingness and determination to work hard will define your success! Also, you get to work along side the most positive and encouraging people. This fun and upbeat environment makes work feel more like a hobby! 5/27/20

Wonderful career that allows for a work/life balance

Current Agency Director- Charlotte

I came to the Phelps Agencies with NO experience in the industry at all so I was very apprehensive at first. It turned out to be the BEST career choice I ever made! The leadership team is amazing, so supportive in helping you to achieve your goals. This career can be whatever you want it to be, you just have to be willing to put the work in to make it happen. Hard work and dedication DOES PAY OFF here!!! One of the BEST things about this is that I have a work/life balance. I’m able to be home with my family every night and weekend which is invaluable to me. This is a GREAT career opportunity for hard working individuals with a positive attitude! 5/1/20

Opportunity of a lifetime!

Current Agency Director- Wilmington

Working for The Phelps Agencies has changed my life. The leadership team does anything and everything to ensure that you are successful. Without the leadership team, I wouldn’t be where I am today. The system that is in place truly works as long as you work the system. If you are the type of person that like to help people and get paid very well for doing so, then look no further!! I have never worked for a company that pays you exactly what your worth!! As long as you work hard, never give up, and strive for greatness everyday, then the sky isn’t even your limit for what you can do here at The Phelps Agencies. Thank you for giving me this opportunity and I look forward to continuing to grow with you all! 4/29/20

Great Place to Work!

Current Agent in Charlotte

“The management team believes in positive reinforcement and encouragement to make the team successful. The product offered to clients is also one of the best I have seen I would definitely recommend their products to others.” – 2/24/20

“I Wish I Could Turn Back The Clock!”

Current Agency Director in Charlotte

I wish I had found this opportunity 30 years ago! You have to put in energy and work ethic to get out a great income. Renewals that outlive you, they last until the policy ends. Working for yourself = you are in control of your life and allows for work/family balance. 1/27/20

“Leap of Faith Opportunity”

Current Supervising Agent in Charlotte

I have been working at The Phelps Agencies full-time for more than a year

Pros

UNLIMITED INCOME – No caps on commission – you make as much as you want Residuals – Continue to be paid residuals on sales long after you retire Flexible schedule – You’ll pretty much be working 8am-5pm, but since the meetings are client-based, your schedule can be flexible to meet your needs Work/Life Balance – Family-oriented, low pressure, friendly atmosphere No “quotas” to meet

Cons

You are responsible for you – This is your own business so all the expenses are yours: car, laptop, printing and copying supplies, etc. Slow ramp to make money – There’s no way around it in this industry. Due to it being commission, there will be some time before your first sale. It is what it is. Be prepared for it, and budget accordingly.

Advice to Management

The encouraging atmosphere is wonderful! The positivity and excitement helps agents feel empowered. Keep up the weekly training – it keeps agents on top of their game – 1/25/20

“Building My Own Business”

Current Agent in Charlotte

I have been working at The Phelps Agencies full-time for more than 3 years

Pros

-Working for myself, on my schedule -Work/family balance, I’m home for dinner every night -Income gets better and better the longer I am here -building something to leave behind to my kids

Cons

First few months are tough, but if you stick with it pays off. You don’t get paid if you don’t work, makes sense. You have to be a people person, not afraid to go out and meet people

Advice to Management

It’s all about the trainers, I was blessed to have some great ones and the mentoring continues even now – 1/24/20

“I Love Working Here”

Current Corporate Trainer in Charlotte

I have been working at The Phelps Agencies full-time for more than 5 years

Pros

I really like the people I work with. I get to watch people succeed! I enjoy the celebrations and good times we share. Working together as a Team!

Cons

I don’t really have any to share….maybe to say that it IS hard work!!

Advice to Management

Keep On Pounding!!!! – 1/24/20

A Career of A Lifetime!
