Leverage NLG Support & Recognition

To support your success, National Life Group offers two programs:

Slot Bonus

Get rewarded for opening new or dormant payroll slots

Premium Increase

Earn full commissions and conference credits for growing existing policies

Slot Bonus Program for 403(b), 403(b)(9) & 457(b) Plans

National Life Group slot bonus program is built with a long-term goal of client acquisition and continued plan sponsor penetration. This structure is in place to encourage new slot openings and prolonged consistent application submissions over time. Opening a new slot and/or activating a dormant slot can make you eligible to participate in the slot bonus program.

Retirement Services pre-approval is required for both new slot and dormant slot programs. Contact the Retirement Services Relationship Team to determine eligibility and rules of engagement.

Boost your Bottom Line with the Premium Increase Program (PIP)

The Premium Increase Program (PIP) is designed to reward good client service. When you take the time to check in with clients, conduct policy reviews and bolster their retirement preparedness with premium increases, you do good by your clients.

To reward the good that you do, each time you initiate a qualifying increase to an existing flexible premium annuity policy or initiate a qualifying lump-sum increase, you earn full commission on the increase as well as credits to National Life Group-sponsored conferences. The more you add to your existing flows, the more credits you earn.
