FAQ

Below are the answers to our most Frequently Asked Questions

What is a 403b?

403b or 457b is a tax code. Most people are familar with an IRA. That is also a tax code. Tax codes are created by the IRS for different groups and organizations. . Not-for-profit organizations such as Schools, certain Hospitals or Churches have retirment plans that offer a tax code that will allow their employees to save for retirement tax deferred. Thats a fancy way of saying, they can pay taxes later but while they're saving they don't pay taxes on that money or it's gains. Being able to work with this group of people is advantageous due to the tax deferred savings they have access to.


Who does The Agent Portal work for?

The agent portal is an independent marketing and recruiting agency. Our partners are agencies that have extensive reach in the 403b market and have many decades of experience in this arena. Our agents have a serious edge when it comes to immediate success in the 403b market due to our advisors and connections we have. We place agents in what are called 'School Slots' or openings in the public school system. These slots are not available to the general public, although that does vary from State to State.


Why is Access to Government Workers Special?

The State government protects it's workers and students very closely. Only through VERY expensive relationships do they open their doors to financial companies and agents. The only entities that have a budget large enough to 'buy' that access are enormous multinational financial companies. These companies, like VOYA, National Life Group, Midland or Great American (among others) buy a certain amount of 'School Slots' , or open positions in the school system for each county of a given State. They then need to fill those slots with qualified agents that are interested in writing applications and life insurance for those teachers and other government workers. The Agent Portal works to provide qualified and trained agents directly to these companies.


What is Required to Work in this Field?  

All agents are required to have a basic license to sell financial products in the state where they will be working. This is a general license needed to sell Life Insurance and Fixed Annuities. Series 6 or 7 licenses or Fiduciaries are not required, however if you do possess those licenses and need a place to work and park your license, The Agent Portal is partnered with FINRA Approved Agencies that are looking for and training series 6 and greater 403b agents.
