OREANDA-NEWS. April 23, 2009. Two financial consultants employed by Allianz ROSNO Life — one from Vladimir and one from Sarov — have been admitted to the Million Dollar Round Table, an independent international association representing the world’s best life insurance experts, reported the press-centre of ROSNO.

The Million Dollar Round Table (MDRT) was founded in 1927 in Memphis, U.S. at the meeting hosting 32 outstanding life insurance salesmen who came from different locations to share expertise. Each of those salesmen had previously concluded over 1,000,000 US dollars worth of insurance transactions. Today, the club unites 40 thousand recognized professionals from around the world, with 76% of them specializing in financial consulting for over 15 years. The participants pay special attention to the major elements of the sales of financial services: quality of offered products and customer service.

For the year 2009, the criteria for admission to MDRT has been the achievement in 2008 of the figures set by MDRT, such as target sales (2,276,000 roubles) or target commission fee collected (910,400 roubles). Two consultants from Allianz ROSNO Life have achieved the necessary results and entered the selected 1% of financial consultants from around the world. Now they will be able to use all of the advantages associated with their new status: participate in regular expertise-sharing meetings, exchange training and development resources and thematic publications with consultants from different countries, study the marketing system and sales software used in their professional field.

"For Allianz ROSNO Life, the first case of admission of its employees to the MDRT club is a remarkable event. The admission of our consultants has evidenced our conformity to the high international standard in the field of life insurance, which is still new for Russia", notes Mr. Maxim Chernin, CEO of Allianz ROSNO Life. — We are glad that our consultants have got such a rare opportunity for personal and professional growth, since membership in MDRT enables frequent travelling and participation in sporting, cultural and creative events. I am certain that other employees in our company will perceive the success of their colleagues as an impetus for their own active professional development and expansion of their client portfolios".
