Steve Kalin joined Columns Resource Group after graduating from college and considering several other careers. After narrowing his search down to the insurance industry, Steve conducted thorough research of insurance companies, which led him straight to Northwestern Mutual Financial Network. “In over 30 years of representing Northwestern Mutual Financial Network, I have never been embarrassed. I enjoy my relationships with the Home Office and networking with other agencies in the country. It has enabled me to compete with a great deal of confidence. I have never lost business to another company’s product better serving the needs of my client.”
As a Financial Representative, Steve enjoys the independence and opportunity available through Columns Resource Group and Northwestern Mutual Financial Network. It gives him the opportunity to work hard and be rewarded based upon his efforts. "One of the things that I have found most satisfying in developing my business is not only the contribution I have made to the personal lives of the clients I have worked with, but also the very enduring relationships that have been established. Many of my clients have become very close personal friends. In addition, there is nothing more satisfying than solving a problem by putting a program in place.”
Early in Steve’s career, a very close friend of his passed away suddenly. Only because Steve showed he and his family the importance of appropriate and timely assessment were his two daughters able to go to college and move on in their lives without mortgage and debt expenses.
"Looking back over my career, I can’t imagine anything that I would have enjoyed doing more than the past 30 years of representing Northwestern Mutual Financial Network. They are phenomenal and have given me peace of mind knowing that the products and services I am recommending to my clients are the best the industry has to offer. I am able to provide very valuable services to the people I represent while generating a significant income.”
“When I listen to close friends and peers complain about the long hours they put into their businesses – dentists on their feet all day, doctors with tight schedules and seeing clients one after another – nothing has been more rewarding than the personal freedom I have in working with my clientele and establishing the business relationships I have in place. It is a wonderful business and a great opportunity. It gives me opportunity to enjoy all aspects of my life.” Is it time for a change?
