GAIN SUCCESSES
MANY
SUCCESSES FOR
GAIN IN 2019
FOR GLOBAL ATLANTIC and the
members of the Global Atlantic Insurance
Network, the year 2019 was an exciting one
full of successes large and small, including
key accomplishments and foundation-
building work. Ironically, at this time last
year, Global Atlantic Insurance Network
didn’t even exist. We knew we wanted to
build upon the distribution arm of Global
Atlantic (formerly known as the Career
Marketing Organization). That channel
was synonymous with deep relationships,
community, and comradery. We have
already made numerous accomplishments
in that direction and are actively working
to make the Global Atlantic Insurance
Network the carrier destination of choice
for successful independent insurance
professionals.
To show how far we have come in
such a short amount of time, it’s useful
to summarize some of our notable
achievements in 2019. Consider that in
March we conducted the First Annual
Leaders Invitational training in Frisco,
Texas, as well as officially announcing the
creation of the Global Atlantic Insurance
Network. One month later, we hired
Geoff Murtha as Business Development
Manager and soon thereafter hired
Allison Weiss as Sales Operations Lead.
We headed to Canada in June where
we held the Leaders Club Incentive Trip
at Whistler, British Columbia. Numerous
awards were presented to individuals
and agencies during this event. NFG
Brokerage needed to book an extra seat
on the plane ride home for all its awards:
Elite Million Dollar Club (over $3MM),
Visionary Award, Pinnacle Award, and
Leadership Award. Not to be outdone,
Atlantic Coast Advisory Group had
its hands full as well, taking home the
Visionary Award, the Pinnacle Award, the
Leadership Award, and the Elite Million
Dollar Club ($1MM) Award. The Impact
Agency of the Year Award went to Central
Financial Group.
As for individual awards, the Impact
Award Winner went to David Thomas,
David Isaac & Associates; the Life
Production Leader – Overall Award went
to Massod Asad, NFG Brokerage; and
the Wellness Champion – Overall Award
15
belonged to Jenny Guevara, CM Alliance.
(For a full list of individual and agency
award winners, please check out our back
cover.)
We were active toward the end of 2019
as well. The Global Atlantic Insurance
Network distribution entity was created
this November. And we announced our
first Multi-Carrier product partnership
(with Protective Life and Annuity
Company) before the end of year. Quite
an active year considering it was our first
year in existence.
In addition to those important
milestones, we also grew the network
by partnering with 11 new member firms
in the class of 2019 and finished the year
back in the Top 10 for Indexed Universal
Life (IUL) insurance sales.
Thank you for all you did to make 2019
a success, and we look forward to even
greater things to come in 2020 from the
Global Atlantic Insurance Network!
