SAN DIEGO, CA (September 9, 2008) —The National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors (NAIFA) and LIMRA have partnered to offer NAIFA members free access to a monthly online video-based seminar series as part of NAIFA’s Professional Development System.
Each month, a different video from LIMRA’s popular “Market Awareness” series will be showcased. Each video is 30-40 minutes in length and features LIMRA subject matter experts. All programs are designed to provide NAIFA members background information on the topic presented, explain what it means to advisors or agents, and include sales tips for presenting the material to clients.
“LIMRA sets the standard for its research and industry information,” says Jeffrey J. Taggart, CLU, ChFC, LUTCF. “Joining forces with LIMRA to offer this online program is another major step in our efforts to provide our members with quality professional development resources. This is one more reason why NAIFA is the producers’ association of choice.”
To mark Life Insurance Awareness Month, Getting Prospects to Say YES to Life Insurance will be the first release in the series beginning September 2008. Other topics in the series include: Building a Retirement Practice, Recruiting Sales Talent: It’s Not the Same Old Game, The Women’s Market: It’s Time and Gaining a Competitive Edge with the 50+ Market – with several new releases scheduled for 2009 in the areas of practice management and succession planning.
"An alliance between NAIFA and LIMRA adds value to both of our member constituencies, said Donald Fuller, Assistant Vice President and and Director, Centre for Professional Development, LIMRA, “and we are excited by the opportunity to explore how we can maximize this value."
