Gregg Neiman became a Financial Representative and began practicing in Chicago in 1982. He previously worked in commercial real estate brokerage and condominium conversions. When commenting on his former career, Gregg says, "I was very good at transactional business deals, but not very good at getting paid."
Gregg has been a Northwestern Mutual Forum member each year since the program began (1998-2007).
Gregg is a devoted mentor for The McTigue Financial Group and through training and speaking activities at other offices nationwide. Gregg offers these insights on the career:
"Early on in the career, it was a challenge to keep all the balls in the air at one time; not keeping my eyes on what makes it all work together. I appreciate the freedom to pick and choose with whom I work. I enjoy the control over my calendar and the potential for unlimited earnings."
"I've learned that to be successful one has only to practice the golden rule, get complete facts and tell the truth straight from the heart. I have had claims and seen the incredible impact our services provide at a time of tragedy. It's very gratifying."
