National Schedule Released
“Double Your Voluntary Benefits Revenue Stream©"

The Workplace Benefits Association has announced a training and educational campaign for 2008 built around the concept of “doubling your voluntary benefits revenue stream.”

“The validation of voluntary benefits as a mainstream distribution system has been proven in the marketplace” said Walt Podgurski, CLU, CES and Chairman of the Workplace Benefits Association. “Year after year of impressive growth and increased acceptance by both employers and employees has created an opportunity for carriers and producers to capitalize on this expanding market.”

“A growing market creates a need for information and additional training to help benefit advisors serve profitably and professionally´ Mr. Podgurski continued. “In keeping with our organizational mission, the Workplace Benefits Association has announced a series of ½ day instruction seminars to help interested parties familiarize themselves with the nuances of selling employee funded plans.”

There will be no cost to attend these seminars for attendees who pre-register.

MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR

Walter B. Podgurski CLU, CES
Chairman, Insurance Broadcasting

Walter B. Podgurski CLU entered the insurance business after graduating from Miami University of Ohio in 1969. He received his Chartered Life Underwriter (CLU) designation in 1976. The great majority of his early experience was in the areas of Voluntary Employee Benefit Plans. He has been involved in the sales and service of over 1,500 payroll deduction accounts in Ohio, Nevada, Canada, and California.

Mr. Podgurski has also served at almost every field level in insurance; Agent, 1st Line Manager, 2nd Line Manager, State Manager, and in a Home Office capacity as VP of Marketing. He has also served as President of his own consulting firm, and has conducted voluntary benefits training and related seminars in the U.S., Canada, and England. He has also written what is considered the authoritative work on Worksite Marketing "From Worksite Marketing To Website Marketing" which is published by The National Underwriter Company.

In July of 1997, Mr. Podgurski formed what is now Insurance Broadcasting which publishes a daily e-mail newsletter “INSURANCE NEWSCAST” covering the news and events of the insurance and financial services industries that is subscribed to by over 500,000 insurance industry professionals from over 40 countries. Insurance Broadcasting also operates two industry associations; the Workplace Benefits Association and the Insurance Media Association.
