Contact American Income Life Insurance, Agent Iris Saavedra & Thomas Longino in Sacramento, California

Since the day she walked into her interview with American Income Life (AIL), Iris Saavedra knew she wanted to become an Agency leader. “I saw it was a great opportunity to execute innovative ideas that can help families get protected and provide opportunities for growth, especially in the Hispanic community,” she says.
 
As a woman professional, Iris believes she brings something to the table as an Agency leader. “We are in an industry that needs more female leaders – strong role models that can give hope and inspire other women that we, too, can be Agency leaders for an insurance company,” she says. Iris also believes that as the Hispanic population grows, being a Hispanic woman gives her the opportunity to help these two markets and provide growth to her Agency.
 
Since joining AIL, Iris feels that her greatest accomplishment has been her ability to help change the financial situation of the agents that are part of her team. As a single mother of two, she also takes pride in being able to make sure her children are well provided for. “I had to push through adversity, all on my own,” she says. “I pushed through college and through raising two kids by myself. I’m sharing my story as testimony that opportunity is unlimited with AIL if you spread your wings without fear. You can accomplish anything you want if you have belief without fear.”
 
Though Iris notes that her priority right now is her business, she loves hiking, skydiving, and traveling when she has the time. She also loves reading about other cultures and trying different types of food. “I believe you can get to know people through their food,” she says. Above everything else, Iris loves being with her family.
 
If you’re looking for your own opportunity, Iris attests that AIL is the place to look. “We offer a career opportunity to those who want to succeed,” she says. “We provide coaching, mentoring, and support for those in the community who want an economic change.”

After earning his B.S. degree in industrial engineering in 1987, from Alcorn State University in Lorman, Mississippi, Thomas Longino became a small business owner.  Eventually, however, he was ready for a career change.  “I did research about renewals and long-term growth potential,” says Thomas, “and decided to follow my own philosophy of ‘don’t be afraid to take a leap of faith.’  I took that leap and joined American Income Life Insurance Company (AIL) in 2013,” he recalls.

“Because I have a true passion and commitment to developing a new group of leaders, I wanted to be an Agency leader to expand the AIL opportunity to others like myself.  I consider my efforts at personal recruiting to be my greatest accomplishment at AIL, because it forced me out of my comfort zone to bring the AIL opportunity to others,” states Thomas. “Growth at American Income Life is truly unlimited and has been the most rewarding aspect of joining this great Company,” he adds.

What’s his advice to others considering the American Income Life opportunity?  “AIL products help our clients cover their basic financial needs when tragedy strikes, so you need a high level of commitment to the process and the ability to handle adversity,” states Thomas.  “This Company affords you the opportunity to grow and receive the best education and mentoring available to impact the community you live in.  Although new to the area, our Agency is already forming a nonprofit to address the problems of homeless youth in northern California,” he emphasizes.

Thomas has a variety of interests outside of work that include jogging, investing, reading, and deer hunting.  He also is a fan of the New Orleans Saints and the Houston Rockets and relishes a good meal of Texas BBQ or Cajun cuisine.
