This feature is a question-and-answer session with a new Blount County Chamber member. So, here we go with our 170th installment visiting with Javon Crane a financial planner with Northwestern Mutual.
What is your role with Northwestern Mutual?
I help people make smart financial choices so their goals aren’t left to chance. I work with a successful team of advisors that are mentoring me in helping me build out my own financial planning practice. Our team focuses on helping successful people like yourself with everything from day-to-day budgeting & debt management to investments, insurance, college funding, estate planning, and more.
How did you get started with Northwestern Mutual?
I began through its internship program.
Describe your customers.
I enjoy helping people begin financial planning. Even young people in their 20s need to start saving for the long run. I also assist people closer to retirement as well. We want to help anybody wanting to plan for their future and wanting to make their money grow.
Name three things you wish you knew when you started.
Get to know more people. Build connections earlier. If you help people out, people will help you out in return
What do you enjoy about financial planning?
I love helping people better their financial situations and get more financially secure. I also enjoy coming with game plans to help people achieve their goals, dreams, and aspirations.
