LACP Is One More Way to Differentiate

By John Boyle on 6/10/22 10:45 AM

The purpose of NAIFA is to advocate for, educate, and differentiate its members in the industry. NAIFA Arizona member Thomas Shultz understands the need for an advisor to differentiate themselves in the marketplace. From the way he prospects for clients, the name he has given his practice, and the credentials he has pursued, Shultz takes every opportunity to stand out in the industry.

Shultz has set up his firm as Medicare specialists who help clients with Medicare supplement plans, a prescription drug plan, or a Medicare Advantage plan and then, as appropriate, transition them to a broader financial planning client. All his clients come through Medicare marketing. He says his experience shows, “If you do a good job servicing that book of business, you’re able to get to a lot of assets.”

NAIFA’s LACP Credential Provides Reassurance of Professionalism and Commitment

By John Boyle on 3/28/22 10:36 AM

After 10 years working in the corporate office of American National Insurance Company in Springfield, MO, Stephanie Hohenshell was recruited into the field. She loved her career in the corporate office, so it was a big step to resign from that job to take on the role of a 1099 advisor. It took about a year and a half of encouragement before she made the leap. Seven years later, she only wishes she had done it sooner.

Of course, the motivations and satisfactions of her job as a multiple-line general agent are a little different now than they were when she first started. “Sometimes what brings people to the industry and what keeps them there are different,” says Hohenshell. “What was appealing about transitioning to the field was I was ready for something more. I was ready to be a business owner and to be a little more in control of my future…. But the thing that I find to be the most rewarding now is the client experiences and the impact you have on people’s lives.”

NAIFA and the LACP Help Swapan Munshi Be of Service

By NAIFA on 11/11/21 2:55 PM

Swapan Munshi, LACP, is a principal with Council Financial & Insurance Services in San Francisco and a member of NAIFA California. Born in the United States to parents who immigrated from India, Munshi grew up watching his father develop and maintain a successful financial services practice by building great relationships with his clients. But Munshi’s father never tried to bring him into the business. Instead, he encouraged him to chart his own path. Munshi found his purpose and initial career helping people through difficult times as a mental health care professional working with individuals in Veterans Administration hospitals and the state prison system.
