About Steve Svendson
After studying business management at the University of Phoenix, Steve had a good background for many professions. He decided on the food-service industry and became a restaurant manager. But restaurant management can be difficult and time-consuming under the best of circumstances. Eventually, Steve decided to move in a different direction and joined American Income Life Insurance Company (AIL) in 2011.
It was the “opportunity to control my own income” that attracted Steve to AIL, and it’s an opportunity that has paid off. But the most rewarding aspect of his association with American Income Life is not the income. “It’s the people I work with,” says Steve. “It’s the drive to succeed and the opportunity for growth. One of my greatest accomplishments with American Income Life is being involved in opening three AIL offices … in Fort Collins, Amarillo, and Arlington. If I could start over with AIL, I would do only one thing differently. I’d be more accountable to my State General Agent and hold my own Agents more accountable.”
What advice does Steve offer those considering an American Income Life career? “You can have a lasting, impactful career with AIL if you are coachable, have a strong work ethic, and work with integrity.”
Steve appreciates the value AIL products have in his community. “We protect families financially. They are able to honor their loved one, keep their homes, and allow their children to maintain their lifestyle,” he emphasizes. Child advocacy is important to Steve’s Agency, and it frequently hosts child safe events in the local community.
When not working, Steve relaxes by watching movies and spending time with family and friends. He’s also a sports fan and enjoys exotic cars and travel.
