Two NAIFA members are among the recipients of the 2012 National Long Term Care Insurance Sales Achievement Awards, which were announced this month by the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance (AALTCI).

The two members, who are among the 2012 Top-10 Long-Term Care Insurance Producers based on placed individual premium, are Susie Caspar, with Caspar Long Term Care Planning in Dover, Massachusetts, and Marlys Fiterman, with Newman LTC in Richfield, Minnesota.

"There may be no financial protection product that is harder to market and sell today than long-term care insurance," explains Jesse Slome, AALTCI's executive director. "Yet, professionals across the country passionately educate hundreds of thousands of individuals regardless of whether they ultimately purchase coverage. We are so very proud to recognize the best of the best for their dedication as well as their success."

The industry awards recognize top LTCI producers for sales in categories including individual placed premium, multilife long-term-care insurance premium, and LTC hybrid products. The complete listing of award recipients is published in AALTCI’s 2012 Long-Term Care Insurance Sourcebook.
