2010 Long-Term Care Sales Achievement Awards Announced

"Rookie of Year" Category Added To Recognize Industry's Newer Producers

Insurance and financial professionals who market long-term care insurance protection are invited to enter the Eighth Long-Term Care Sales Achievement Awards. The annual program, conducted by the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance, recognizes producers based on sales made during 2009.

"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.

Information and the entry application can be accessed online via the Association's website: http://www.aaltci.org/awards. Established in 1998, the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance is the national association serving insurance and financial professionals who provide long-term care financing solutions.
