Global Atlantic Financial Group - Leaders Insights Winter 2019 | Page 3

WELCOME TO LEADERS INSIGHTS MAGAZINE! Hello and welcome to the first issue of Leaders Insights Magazine! This quarterly publication is designed to help you learn about all the exciting things going on with the Global Atlantic Insurance Network (GAIN) and its members. This inaugural edition is specifically designed to celebrate you, our GAIN members, to strengthen the bond that you have with us and, most importantly, to continue to foster and strengthen the relationships you have with each other. At Global Atlantic, we’re committed to building GAIN into the premier carrier destination for successful independent life insurance professionals. It’s for that reason we created Leaders Insights and why we think the content you find here will prove very valuable to you. In this issue, you’ll learn more about why we created GAIN and this magazine. We touch on a number of topics we think you’ll find valuable, including a feature on Central Financial Group and how important life insurance has been to the success of their agency. We also talk about the Global Atlantic Leaders Club, where agents get the opportunity to grow professionally while being recognized and rewarded for their achievements. Finally, we highlight some important events and shine a spotlight on some of our partners. I appreciate your taking time out of your day to see what Leaders Insights has to offer.
