This School Year, What Do Your Prospects Look Like?

There’s an easy way to identify employer sponsored plans in which NLG is an approved provider that you can work today, as well as new plan prospects.

National Life’s 403(b)/457(b) Plan Opportunities Tool enables you to look up plans by state, city, county, zip code, or specific plan name to determine if National Life is currently an approved provider within the plan OR if it is new plan opportunity that you can unlock!

To access the tool, log into the Agent Portal. Under Sales & Marketing select Retirement Business and click on 403(b)/457(b) Plan Opportunities. Use this step-by-step guide for help accessing and navigating the tool. Once you have identified a plan’s status, consult National Life’s Employer Rules of Engagement for a framework of how you may engage with the plan.

Not sure where to start?

The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) provides detailed information on every school district and individual school in the country.  NCES provides district and school websites, number of employees, superintendent information, address, phone and more – a terrific resource to help you narrow your plan opportunities search!
