In My Own Words

Simon Arias is the State General Agent for Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Maryland, Florida, and Tennessee. Simon came to American Income Life Insurance Company by chance upon receiving a phone call from his first company mentor in Ohio, State General Agent, Marcus Smith. Simon recalls, “He was so successful, professional, and caring at such a young age, I wanted to be just like him..” Upon coming to AIL, Simon quickly excelled into a management position and made over six figures in his first year with the company. After Simon’s first year in the business, everything seemed to click. It was at this point he knew that American Income Life was where he belonged. “I fell in love with the opportunity here after getting into management. It was then that I realized that your success at AIL is based off of how many people you can help. As a sales rep, you’re helping working Americans protect their families, and as a leader, you’re helping the people on your team achieve the success that they desire,” he says, “I can’t really imagine a better way to achieve your career and financial success, than to genuinely help others.” Simon has made a constant effort to grow as a person, mentally, physically, and spiritually. He takes pride in being a mentor to people both in and outside of the business. His financial success has allowed him to provide a great lifestyle and financial security for his family. Simon holds multiple company records for being the fastest agency to hit company weekly production milestones, and for becoming the youngest State General Agent in company history at 24 years old. He has been a member of AIL’s Executive Council on a regular basis, and he is the only SGA in company history to be named State General Agent of the Year for two consecutive years. Simon’s financial success has allowed him to give back to the communities he serves, and to establish community programs in his hometown of Youngstown, OH. Simon helped bring the youth program, Inspiring Minds, to Youngstown, and he has partnered with Maurice Clarrett to open The Red Zone, a company whose mission is to help at-risk youth and their families. Aside from these programs in Simon's hometown, The Arias Agency regularly supports a variety of charitable efforts, believing that giving back is a key component to success.
