Legacy Financial opening E.G. office

EAST GREENWICH – Legacy Financial Group LLC, the general agency for Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Co. in Rhode Island, is opening a new district office in East Greenwich and creating up to 12 new jobs.
The company’s office will be located at 5835 Post Road.
“We are extremely excited about expanding our footprint in Southern New England by opening another location in East Greenwich,” said Bill McQuaid, CEO and president of Legacy. “It will also help us better serve our over 13,000 clients that have done business with MassMutual over the years.”
A press release about the office opening said MassMutual pays the tuition and fees for agents who earn industry designations and college degrees up to and including a master’s degree in financial services.
Agents – who build their own financial services practice within the MassMutual agency – may receive office space, administrative staff, utilities and nearly everything related to starting and growing their practice, Legacy said. Eligible agents also receive an income subsidy for up to three years.
“The down economy has sparked immense demand for professional advice and products that give people safety and security, and job seekers with strong communications skills would be well served to look into opportunities in the insurance-based financial services industry,” said Jon Dressner, senior vice president of Life and Health Insurance Foundation for Education..
