MassMutual’s Differentiated Teaming Culture
In addition to Connect4Success, MassMutual also instills a robust support and teaming model that helps Financial Professionals (FPs) build and join teams to work toward a collective vision. This model allows FPs shared accountability and resources, increased efficiency, business continuity, and further specialization into targeted niche markets. LIMRA has reported that FPs on teams earn 72% more income than solo FPs. These collaborative practices:

• Operate with consistent processes and share their varied expertise to offer holistic solutions to clients.
• Enable more revenue-producing activity and create more diversified revenue streams.
• Allows you to play to your strengths and manage your capacity by sharing the load of servicing clients, developing opportunities and running the business.
• Aid in the creation and execution of a succession and/or continuity plan by establishing generational relationships with clients.
