Contact American Income Life Insurance, Agent Joshua Chalom & Jordan Chalom in North York, Ontario

“Prior to getting licensed and starting my career with American Income Life Insurance Company (AIL) in 2010, I completed high school at York Mills Collegiate Institute in Toronto.  I planned to go to university to purse a business degree and have my life figured out by the time I graduated.  Instead, I took a year off, working at Starbucks and clubs in the city’s entertainment district,” says Jordan Chalom.

What brought Jordan to AIL?  “It was the limitless upward mobility and the freedom to make my own schedule at AIL that changed my direction in life.  Becoming a State General Agent (SGA) was what I worked toward over the past several years, so when a fellow SGA approached me to partner with him in Ontario, I jumped at the opportunity,” states Jordan.  “As a second generation SGA and the fourth in my family, I know first-hand the time, effort, and sacrifice it takes to build an Agency.  I’m so proud of successfully overhauling the recruiting culture in my Agency, resulting in months of record hire growth,” he emphasizes.

“What’s most rewarding about American Income Life is my unlimited earning potential and watching my renewals grow year after year.  That growth represents all the people I’ve positively impacted.  AIL can’t replace a loved one, but our products make sure the family is taken care of … the mortgage is paid and the refrigerator is full,” Jordan states proudly.

“An AIL career is not only financially rewarding, but emotionally rewarding as well, because we protect working families.  During the past 10 years, Ontario has grown rapidly with people immigrating from all over the world.  Our Agency has not only matched that growth, but also proudly represents the same communities we serve,” says Jordan.  “AIL products provide a sense of security to families and their loved one and offer them freedom from anxiety. They know if something happens, the people they care about will be protected,” he adds.

What’s Jordan’s advice if you’re considering joining the AIL family?  “Don’t try to reinvent the wheel,” he stresses.  “There are many successful people in American Income Life who have made mistakes along the way to success so new Agents and leaders don’t have to.  Learn from them.  In addition, focus on culture.  Having great Agents gets you production to a certain extent.  But the Agency culture is what facilitates or impedes growth,” he emphasizes.

Photography is an important part of Jordan’s life. “Street photography has always been a passion of mine, and I’m an avid photographer, both film and digital.  I also collect cameras and have more than 40 in my collection so far,” says Jordan.  “Animal welfare is close to my heart too.  I donate to the Toronto Humane Society and ‘Save Our Scruff’ every year.  Plus, I have a dog named Hank, who I often bring to the office and is pretty infamous among the Directors and VPs who visit.  I’m probably the only SGA to admit this, but I’m not generally a sports fan.  However, I did proudly jump on the bandwagon when the Toronto Raptors won the NBA championship,” he adds.

It’s a long way from the Dominican Republic to Canada, but Josh Chalom, Business Owner in Ontario, made the transition with ease. Josh owned and operated swimwear boutiques in the Dominican Republic before joining American Income Life Insurance Company. His cousin was a successful AO for American Income Life in Los Angeles and convinced Josh to make the change to AIL.

Since joining American Income Life, Josh successfully set up and ran offices in Los Angeles, San Diego, and Las Vegas prior to coming to Ontario, where he became the second person licensed with AIL in eastern Canada.

Josh is excited about the impact American Income Life products can have. “The ability to help people put a roof over their heads, put food on the table, and provide an education for their children has tremendous social impact,” says Josh, “especially when the main breadwinner is taken out of the picture.”

When did he realize an American Income Life career was right for him? “When my father died at 55,” recalls Josh, “I realized how devastating and unexpected life and death could be. His own policy was a small plan he took from me when I first started with AIL. I then realized how important it was to make people aware of what we all eventually have to face.”

What’s his advice to someone thinking about a career at AIL? “Take it seriously,” says Josh, “work harder than you ever have, and follow the path set forth by the Company. There really is a pot of gold at the end. American Income Life Insurance Company has allowed me to achieve all my dreams and has forced me to dream bigger, all the while helping people. I only wish I had gone into management sooner to spread the word of what a great opportunity this is to more people.”

As well as being a successful AO for American Income Life, Josh is a talented Rubiks cube artist. “I am currently in the 2011 Guinness Book of World Records,” says Josh, “for creating the largest Rubiks Cube Mosaic, ‘The Last Supper’ using 4,050 cubes and will be in the 2012 book as well for breaking the record with ‘The Hand of God’ piece using 12,090 cubes. My work can be viewed at www.cubeworks.ca.”

Josh donates his works of art to charity auctions and many hospitals in Canada.
