Your daily life is chock full of appointments to keep, follow-up activities, people to call, and
tasks to get done. One of the key reasons you read Perspectives is to learn techniques to
increase your effectiveness so that you can elevate your performance. Your focus is on how
you can do it more quickly and better than the competitor and provide service that is so
memorable and compelling that the next client comes in through a referral.
Impacting the community
You likely realize the power you have in helping everyday Americans achieve financial
security by utilizing a variety of products. Do you recognize the power of what you’re doing
every day as a critical driver to your community, state, and national financial well-being? You
should! Direct constituent interactions have more influence on lawmakers’ decisions than
other advocacy strategies.
NAILBA partners with NAIFA, the leading advocacy voice of insurance and financial-services
professionals, to enhance the “Power of Us” and better represent producers, consumers, and
the insurance and financial services industry in the legislative and regulatory arenas.
Our comprehensive advocacy includes an experienced team of professionals, the most
in-depth grassroots network and coverage of a wide range of issues important to you — from
risk management products like life insurance, annuities, disability income insurance, long-
term care insurance and health insurance, to financial security strategies like retirement
income, college funding, senior protection, financial planning, and more. We engage directly
with members of Congress, state legislators, and regulators to ensure our interests are fairly
represented and positively influence state and federal policy. The Power of Us is rooted in our
geographic diversity. Building personal relationships between constituents and lawmakers
creates a long-lasting path to political power in the US Congress and state legislatures.
