Adam's Story<\/h2>
Product Specialist now Operations Manager<\/em><\/p> \n <\/div>
\n
With a liberal arts Master\u2019s degree in American Culture studies, Adam Franklin found himself unsure of his next move.<\/p>\n
\u201cNobody goes to school to be in life insurance. You just find your way there,\u201d Adam said. \u201cI had difficulty finding what to do next. Ultimately, I found myself with an offer from John Hancock to be an agent. I was looking for almost anything, so I said, \u2018What the heck, I\u2019ll give it a shot.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
After three years as an agent for John Hancock, Adam figured out that the part of the process that he liked the most was getting peoples\u2019 information, figuring out what they needed, finding it, and being able to report back.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\u201cCold calling, selling wasn\u2019t as much fun,\u201d Adam said. \u201cIt\u2019s quite difficult as well. \u201c<\/p>\n
It so happened that eight years ago, TDC was looking for someone to fill a new role to design cases – Adam\u2019s favorite part of the life insurance process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\u201cGod works in mysterious ways,\u201d Adam said. \u201cI kind of fell into TDC looking for a role in a part of the process that I enjoy the most. I was very excited to pursue that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Part of the allure of TDC was the chance for Adam to experiment in defining a new role not only for himself, but for the firm as a whole.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe didn\u2019t know how it will work, but we knew we needed something like this and we were ready to figure it out,\u201d Adam said. \u201cTo have an opportunity to work with people like Tyler and Cleves, who are all about new ideas, and to take what Cleves has built and continue it on, shape it differently, continue to build the brand and grow – it\u2019s been very exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n
Adam now holds the title of Operations Manager for the Life Insurance department. The role has expanded more outside of designing life insurance for specific clients to overseeing the entire process, and helping to hone in on where the department is going.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\u201cI help take Tyler\u2019s vision and implement that, turning it into something tangible.\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite a lack of direction out of college, Adam can confidently say he has found what he loves doing at a place he loves working.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>\u201cI really enjoy what I do. I am proud to be a part of TDC. It\u2019s one thing to say I do what I want to do. There\u2019s people who have that and others who don\u2019t. It\u2019s another thing to say I\u2019m proud of the organization I work for. Seeing what we\u2019ve done for countless families we\u2019ve worked for and the folks in the organization makes me love being a part of the group.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/div> <\/div>\n
