  • Overwhelmed or confused by social media?  Learn more about the power of social media when it comes to marketing - Alliance Group will share new ideas and strategies
  • Cross Marketing Panel discussion led by the very best, our NBA members, on diversifying your agency and agents into new product lines
  • Who doesn't know Harley Gordon, the nationally recognized authority on long term care issues and founder of the Certified in Long Term Care  (CLTC) designation?!  OneAmerica is sponsoring Harley to be with us for our Academy session.  Harley's topic will be The Extended Care Conversation: The Essential Need to Engage Clients In a Discussion About a Life Changing Event.  For too many producers, long term care is a discussion about the need to purchase an insurance product to cover the expenses of a near certain event based on statistics.  The result is all too predictable when trying to sell to those who are not sick or have had prior experience.  Attorney Harley Gordon's ideas on how to avoid the endless objections and frustrations of trying to sell long-term care insurance have challenged every convention on how to do so.  Harley will help us take a provocative look that will disrupt every approach you have used.
  • Frustrated by the time it takes, or worse, underwriting ratings?  This panel discussion will be led by our Diamond sponsors, ANICO, Lincoln Financial, Mutual Trust and North American, as they share thoughts and ideas on how to get cases issued faster.
