Some Insurance companies focus solely on commercial/business insurance while others work strictly on health/life insurance. Other insurance companies offer a full suite of services.
Before interviewing with TIAA be sure that you understand exactly what they offer their clients. Your answer should highlight the ways that the company and your background are a match.

"I understand that TIAA offers a full suite of services to their clients. I have experience working in all types of insurance and am comfortable in most areas. If I had to choose one area of strength I would say that I have a few more years' experience in commercial insurance."

"Although I do have more experience in health and life insurance, I am very eager to gain more momentum in the area of commercial insurance. The variety, and challenge, would be welcome at this point in my career."

I feel very confident in both business and personal life insurance needs. If I had to choose 1 I would choose health and life. I would grow into the business and commercial needs after completing their personal life insurance needs.
Marcie's Feedback
It's great that you feel confident in both areas. Can you talk more about why you prefer health/life? Solely because there's a natural transition from that to selling business/commercial? (If so, can you provide an example of a time when you did this previously?) Strengthen your answer by giving more in-depth reasoning behind why you prefer health/life over business/commercial. Good job!
