Presentations of the 2011 Long-Term Care Insurance Agency Achievement Awards were presented earlier this week by the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance.  

Awards were presented at the 2011 National LTCi Summit.  The industry’s leading sales and marketing conference was held this week in Las Vegas and attended by 550 of the nation’s leading producers, agencies and insurers.

“There are several hundred small, medium and large agencies who provide enormous training, marketing and sales support to tens of thousands of insurance producers,” explains Jesse Slome, AALTCI’s executive director.  ”The nation’s agencies and their staffs are the unsung heroes of this industry, and most deserving of recognition for their efforts.”

Five categories were established so that agencies of all sizes would be recognized.  ”The awards are presented to the agency that reported the greatest growth in paid long-term care insurance sales over the prior year,” Slome adds.

“Awards are given for sales of individual long-term care insurance policies as well as multi-life long-term care,” explains Jesse Slome, the organization’s executive director.  A new category has been added to recognize producers who began selling long-term care insurance in 2009.   

Award recipients are ranked on a national as well as a state-by-state basis with their names published in the Association’s annual LTCi Sourcebook.  ”This is an excellent way for agents and brokers, even those who have just started selling, to show prospects they have been recognized as a leading producer in the industry,” Slome notes.  The minimal placed premium for 2009 is $2,500.  ”All those who enter and qualify are recognized,” he adds.
