Elite Agents and Financial Professionals Gather for Industry-Leading Networking Conference Hosted By Creative Marketing - PRWeb

Leawood, Kan. (PRWEB) April 07, 2012

More than 50 of the country’s most successful agents and advisors joined host Creative Marketing for the sixth annual Tailor Made Networking Conference held in Miami, Fla. Attendees were able to enjoy the outdoors and maximize their opportunity for sharing ideas, information and success strategies with other high-caliber producers throughout the three-day event. Additionally, Creative Marketing’s home office personnel presented timely industry news and sales tips for helping these professionals continue to build their businesses and differentiate themselves from their competition.

Creative’s Tailor Made group welcomes elite-level life and annuity producers who meet a $5 million minimum of premium submitted annually. The Tailor Made services include one-on-one business consulting, strategic marketing and communications support, and a multitude of training opportunities and resources customized specifically for agents with an exceptional business track record. Each year, Creative brings these agents and advisors together to network and hear from their peers regarding strategies for generating referrals, developing more qualified leads and closing business more effectively.

“At each Tailor Made Networking Conference, we want to recognize our outstanding producers and provide extraordinary ways to thank them for their continued partnership with us,” said Creative Marketing’s Senior Vice President of Tailor Made Chip Anderson. “This year’s event in Miami was no exception. During two days of sharing innovative solutions for growing their practices, our guests were able to build relationships with colleagues who understand the challenges elite-level agents face in their day-to-day business.”

Event highlights included a keynote speech by innovative leader and corporate consultant Steve Harvill. He shared insights into the benefits of getting back to basics and keeping the sales process simple for agents and clients alike. Producers picked up tips from top agents, and then shared “one great idea” with one another that they could put to use immediately after the conference. Attendees also learned about specifics of newly offered agent programs available and how to prepare themselves and their business owner clients for business succession.

“All of the events were great, and the farewell party was incredible. I had the opportunity to speak one-on-one with some of the most successful agents and advisors in the business and learn how they do what they do. On my first day back in the office, I am already starting to implement suggestions and improve my own success. I can’t wait until the next Networking Conference,” said one Tailor Made attendee on the post-event survey.

Creative Marketing is known throughout the industry for its best-in-class agent incentive trips, in addition to providing unparalleled service and support. The Tailor Made Networking Conference is just one example of how Creative combines these qualities to afford producers with opportunities throughout the year to spend time learning from their peers.

“This year’s Networking Conference was packed full of information our agents can modify and implement for great results. We heard from many attendees that the Miami event was the best yet, and we intend to continue exceeding expectations in the years to come,” said Anderson.

Two sessions are offered, 10:00 a.m. to Noon and 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. During each session, participants will have an opportunity meet one-on-one with several national franchise representatives; learn about the franchise business concept; and what variety of skill set is the best fit for each business type.

Event organizer Diana Trondsen said, “Many job-hunting professionals are considering transferring their skill sets to new areas. As the market continues to recover, it makes sense for individuals who have been contemplating a career change to start a new business that can grow along with the economy.

We have several franchisors eager to expand and a great response from potential clients who want to understand more about this business concept. This forum brings those two groups together.”

Other organizations present at the event to answer questions will be representatives from SBA (U.S. Small Business Administration) and SCORE. A SCORE representative and funding expert will be available to discuss programs and services for small businesses.
