THE DELAWARE ADVISOR

It’s smart to belong.

The holiday

season is

here and the

end of the year is

near. Many changes

have been thrown

on the insurance agent in 2010. The

next year will be even busier with many

new legislation coming down the pike.

The health insurance agent is sure to

be impacted in the pocketbook in 2011

and beyond. We must stay informed and

go to as many NAIFA and insurance

company meetings as we can. With only

a few weeks left in 2010 this is the time

to pause and reflect on the year and plan

for the changes coming up next year.

If you are interested in getting

involved with NAIFA as a board

member please contact any present

board member and let us know how you

would like to be involved. The next few

years look to be very busy and we could

use all the help you can offer. Thank

you for your continued membership in

NAFIA Delaware and have a blessed

holiday season.

From the President’s Desk By: Ronald E. Simmons, NAIFA Delaware President

Thank you sponsors

On November 11th, we had our Palmer

Awards Dinner. Congratulations to

Tony McDonald who was chosen

for this prestigious award. He truly deserves

the accolades for all of the time and energy

he’s given back to this association. What a

wonderful night. This is the first time in about

15 years the Palmer Awards were a dinner

event. If you didn’t attend this year, mark your calendar for next

year’s event. Everyone I talked to had a great time and they were

really glad the event was moved back to the evening. Lots of fun

was had by all. The food was delicious and new relationships and

friendships were formed. Veteran’s Day was the theme. We had

some touching videos to honor our Veteran’s. We also hired a local

acoustic duo that played music during dinner and after the Awards

Ceremony. I can’t stress enough how enjoyable the evening was.

Congratulations to Tony and a big thank you goes out to Kevin

O’Neill and Kathy Gregor for organizing the event.

On December 1st, we had our annual Political Action Committee

and Final year Tax Preparation meeting. Our speaker was Jordon

Rosen, a partner at Belfint Lyons & Shuman. Once again, this was

a late afternoon meeting with 1 CE credit for DE/PA/MD. This

was our PIC/PAC/Tax/YAT meeting. PIC – Political Involvement

Committee – This committee is focused on linking our NAIFA

members to our State and National Legislators to deliver checks

and develop relationships to make sure our legislators know we

can be a resource for them as bills are drafted that affect our

industry. PAC – Political Action Committee – This Committee

raises money from our members to be delivered to candidates

for office. TAX – It’s not but it should be a four letter word.

Something we’re all trying to reduce. Finally, YAT – Young

Advisors Team – This group of future leaders are defined as

younger than 40 years old or new to the insurance business within

the last 5 years. We had a cocktail hour after the presentation to

allow everyone an opportunity to get to know each other a little

better. We also raised money for our year end Political Action

Committee Goals. If you are unable to attend but would like to

contribute, please go to www.naifa.org to make a contribution. If

you love your job and want to continue to deliver tax advantaged

products and services to your clients, it’s critical for you to make

a contribution. You can contribute a one-time payment or you

can have the contribution deducted monthly from a credit card or

checking account. Please start contributing and supporting your

industry today. We thank you!

Of the “twenty-four million U.S. households, 22% have no life insurance” (LIMRA) and many of those households are underinsured. While many people know they need insurance to protect their families, income and homes, they are often reluctant to talk about the “what if ’s” in life. As advisors, it is our job to discuss life events and to help them prepare financially. A dedicated business professional, should feel obligated to keep up with the advancements in digital and web based

technology as well as the economic climate in order to find new ways to keep their clients educated and engaged. When we remain committed to ourselves and our clients, we will find ourselves busy restructuring business and marketing plans, reviewing client policies and determining changes in the levels of risk in effort to help our clients reach their goals. Being a member of a professional association like NAIFA helps build credibility with our clients and demonstrates our dedication to building a solid business and expanding our knowledge in our area of expertise. Here are tips that will give your sales a boost! While some may seem elementary, I challenge you to take a moment to review them. Perhaps they will help give you the boost you need to scale your personal ladder of success and help you achieve your business goals!1. BUILD a trusting relationship with your clients.2.

Why attend this year’s Career Conference if you’ve been to a handful in the past and money and time may be tighter than ever? The insurance and financial industry has been greatly impacted with many changes during this past year. Demands on workers are greater than they’ve been for many years. We have taken into consideration these changes and have selected a lineup of speakers that will help put attendees on the right path with a renewed enthusiasm, fresh ideas to grow business, and knowledge for greater earning potential. The Career Conference is not put together for the sole purpose of earning continuing education credits. Although this is an added benefit, the day will offer much more.

He was promoted to Vice President in March of 2006 and First Vice President in March of 2010.
