After graduating from the University of Dayton with a Bachelor’s degree in Finance in 2006, Dan Hartwig worked as a consultant in the financial services industry. But when a friend from college, who worked for Globe Life American Income Division (AIL), spent two-and-one-half years recruiting Dan, he was finally convinced and joined the AIL team in 2008.
It was a transition Dan does not regret. “My greatest accomplishment with Globe Life American Income Division is my promotion to Master General Agent (MGA) within the Surace Smith Organization a year after starting with the Company,” states Dan, “and having the opportunity to run Toledo, Ohio. The city is competing on an international level every year among the Company’s top MGAs. In 2017, I was recognized among the top five MGAs in the entire Company,” he adds. “For me, the most rewarding aspect of joining Globe Life American Income Division is seeing the growth, not only personally, but among peers. It’s one thing when you get better; it’s another thing when others are winning with you,” he emphasizes.
“Globe Life American Income Division products provide an economic light for families during a period of darkness,” he stresses, and he offers this advice to anyone who considers joining the AIL family. “Stay hungry, humble, and be open to coaching,” he recommends. “Be aggressive about developing yourself, because development precedes all growth. The building and growth process never stops in this business or in life. You just learn how to do it better, faster, and stronger. And stay focused on where you are going, not where you are,” he advises.
What would Dan do differently if he could restart his AIL career? “Honestly, I’m not sure,” he says. “I left a $70,000 annual salary to join Globe Life American Income Division, and I didn’t have time to waste,” he recalls. “I always found my desire to be great rooted in seeking out the best in the business and not making a ton of decisions myself. That was the key to my success … not focusing on what I wanted to do, but executing the direction given to me,” he adds.
Dan envisions an amazing future for his Business. “Our Business prides itself on creating opportunities for people to develop themselves personally and professionally, while eliminating financial barriers through a competitive compensation package,” he states. “Through our comprehensive training program, representatives learn a proven system to serve and protect the working, middle-class market. For those who seek additional training and a desire to grow, our Organization has been recognized year-after -year for its leadership development. Finally, we offer college students an opportunity to gain practical business experience. They can develop their communication skills, sales skills, and leadership skills, all while earning income through part-time and internship programs,” he continues. “In addition, we are heavily involved in a number of philanthropic projects throughout the community, the state of Ohio, the United States, and across borders. Our philosophy is ‘If you don’t have enough, it’s because you do not give enough’,” he emphasizes.
Dan’s main interest outside of Globe Life American Income Division is working out. “In my free time, I work to develop the mind, body, and spirit,” he says. “I’m involved with ‘In His Steps Foundation’, an organization where I use my financial experience to encourage and teach Christian stewardship that becomes the basis for personal giving and estate planning”.
