Nardin Jihad & Aisha Ahmed
Atlanta, GA
Previous Occupation: Tax Preparation

Nardin Jihad & Aisha Ahmed, of Atlanta, GA, pride themselves on how well they take care of clients.^{1, 2} “People are always happy to see us because they know how much we care and they know we will always show up when they need us most,” shares Aisha. “It’s very humbling to be there for someone in their time of need. We can see the relief in their faces.”

FINDING THEIR WAY
Nardin grew up in Atlanta and always knew he wanted to be an entrepreneur. Both his parents had their own businesses, and he had the same aspirations. “I knew I didn’t want to work for someone else,” he remembers.

“I used to sell items at school and at various events, so I steadily gained experience in sales and customer service. I tried different businesses for about five years and started a business management degree in college. When I was 19 years old, I was approached about Primerica.”

Aisha grew up a world away in Manchester, England, in a family that traditionally held successful corporate jobs. “There were no entrepreneurs in my family,” she explains. “I worked for many years in child services, but ultimately landed a job at Inland Revenue (similar to the Internal Revenue Service).”

Aisha liked helping people and was happy to carry that passion into her new endeavors after the couple met in England through a friend. “For a time, I thought Nardin would move to England,” she says. “I ended up moving to the United States.”

Nardin was working as an account manager and building a part-time Primerica business; Aisha soon joined him. “The tax preparation business was seasonal,” Nardin explains. “We would make money from December to May. The rest of the year we needed to create some income during our off-season. I leveraged my Primerica business throughout the years until we were ready to leave our tax business and go to work with Primerica full-time.”

GROWING A FAMILY
Nardin and Aisha have now been married for over a decade and have three wonderful children: Nalani, Nasiha, and Zaynab. With their children at different ages and phases, Nardin and Aisha understand how busy family life can be, and all the ups and downs that come with everyday life, but are thankful that their Primerica business offers them the flexibility that works for their schedules.

MAKING AN IMPACT
Nardin and Aisha are big believers in Primerica’s “Buy Term & Invest the Difference” philosophy of combining affordable term life insurance with the right investments that can really set families up for success.^{3, 4} “Clients are prepared for their long-term goals, and in the event of an untimely death, they don’t have to face a catastrophic financial pitfall,” says Nardin.

The couple recalls a business colleague they hadn’t spoken to in a while. Nardin and Aisha did their routine follow up, and met with him and his new wife to set up a financial game plan. Three months later, his wife unexpectedly passed away. “It scares me to think what would have happened if we hadn’t followed up with him and made sure his family was covered,” reflects Nardin.

“The couple had a son, and the client doesn’t have to worry about how he will help his son heal while dealing with new financial problems and responsibilities. This experience was another reminder for us that we were in the right business with a Company that truly cares about people.”

A DIFFERENT KIND OF COMPANY
“If you want a Company who genuinely cares for your financial well-being without being condescending and judgmental, Primerica and its Representatives stand out,” Nardin shares proudly. “We prioritize your overall well-being, fostering a transformational relationship rather than a transactional one. That’s exactly what Primerica aims to do: help clients transition from their current situation to where they want to be in the future.”

“Primerica Representatives are your neighbors; they are part of your community,” Aisha reflects. “They understand your concerns and know what you’re going through. Unlike other financial companies that may be detached from your experiences, Primerica Reps can relate to you personally. They want to help transform your life through a meaningful life-long relationship, recognizing that you don’t need a large sum of money to start. We can begin small and gradually build from there. The aspirations you have for yourself and your family are the same goals that your Primerica Reps share for their own families.”
