Women and the Sales Career

You don't have to choose between a career and family. And when it comes to "working" vs. "living life to the fullest," there's no either/or at Thrivent Financial. You can have it all.

Fact is, nearly 70% of women in the financial services industry have at least one child.¹ Women also face other unique situations. We get that. That's why more women are becoming Thrivent Financial representatives every year. We don't just talk about life/work balance. We encourage – and support it.

No Sales Background? No Problem

Most of our successful female financial representatives didn't have sales or financial backgrounds before joining our team. In fact, our financial representatives have a wide range of life stories and experiences. Yet they all share common qualities like:

• A strong desire to serve others.
• Excellent communication skills.
• An outgoing and pleasant personality.
• A helpful attitude.

Consider a Career That Reflects Who You Are

Do you have an entrepreneurial spirit? Are you a recent college graduate intent on making a difference? Do you want a career as a Mom – and a professional? Is it time to follow your passion or give yourself better earning potential?
