What is Aflac?
Aflac is a different kind of company. Rather than simply selling insurance or payroll services, our associates meet needs that are often overlooked and seldom addressed by traditional life and health insurance companies. Virtually all families appreciate the value of group insurance, but many have never heard of supplemental insurance and don’t know why they need it --- until a crisis hits and the bills start coming in for all those uncovered costs plus routine living expenses.
Cash flow into the family budget is Aflac’s specialty. We address the needs when unexpected events happen. Accident and illnesses can happen when least expected. Traditional health insurance doesn’t provide for out of pocket expenses such as car payments, travel expenses, rent or mortgage payments, loss of earning power or put cash into your pocket.
In their own words:
David G. Morningstar --- Before joining Aflac, I worked in the investment industry. I heard about the company almost by accident. However, I quickly realized that hardly anybody has what Aflac offers and everybody needs it. Add to this equation Aflac’s renewal commissions and free stock bonus plan, and the decision was a no-brainer: I must join Aflac because its products and services are the easiest to sell, with the highest potential compensation I have ever seen. Period! What else could one desire in a sales career?
Janet Waters --- My career with Aflac began because as a housewife with two small children, I needed the extra money. I grew at my own pace, working part time at first because of my family obligations before transitioning into a full-time position. The success I have enjoyed is more than I ever imagined possible. I have seen the world and earned a fantastic amount of money that I could never have realized in a “regular” job. I have resources I will be able to leave my children (and eventually my grandchildren) that most Americans can only dream of.
Luis Gardenas --- If you think about it, I offer two irresistible opportunities to my corporate clients and their employees: top supplemental benefits and tax savings. I believe in my heart, I can strengthen any company’s benefits, particularly when group health programs are gobbling up all the available dollars. The future for cafeteria plans is enormous. When people understand what we can offer…the response is always the same: muy bueno!
Joy Lovern --- My previous occupation was director of nursing for a long-term care facility. I knew I would never be happy in a field that was not centered on helping others. My son, Robert, who is also with Aflac, had shared stories on how claim checks had enable cancer victims and other seriously injured or ill people to travel to specialized medical centers. It was a perfect fit. I never would have imagined that I could achieve a six-figure income and stock bonus that has set me up for retirement while helping to ease the suffering of others at times of physical and financial crisis.

Ø Always puts its Field Agents first. (Does not sell directly over the internet)
