Chicago, IL., and Bangkok, Thailand, June 28, 2022—FWD Life Insurance Plc (FWD Insurance) signed a five-year agreement with Trustworthy Selling to provide their award-winning sales training and development program to FWD advisors. Used as a development program, Trustworthy Selling will provide FWD advisors with a deeper understanding of their customers’ needs and help them offer the right products and services to meet them.
According to HPN President Joey Davenport, “FWD has been an outstanding client and strategic partner of both HPN and LIMRA in the Asia Pacific region. The expansion of our partnership to the bancassurance sector in Thailand is part of an ongoing commitment to develop world class learning solutions for a modern world.”
Trustworthy Selling, developed by the Hoopis Performance Network (HPN) in collaboration with LIMRA, enables financial professionals to develop their skills and focuses on understanding clients. Based on an in-depth research study, the training program will help advisors analyze clients’ needs and personal behaviors. This proven advisor development training program will also empower financial professionals to build deeper, long-lasting relationships with their clients.
Over the next five years, more than 15,000 FWD financial professionals, including bancassurance and agency professionals, will complete the hybrid learning program (online and/or in-person) and receive a certificate of their accomplishment.
“More than 20,000 financial professionals worldwide have graduated from the program. In addition to the 25% increase (on average) in productivity, the graduates learn the tools to establish long-term and affirmative relationships with their customers while this program supports FWD’s vision through their agents to build community trust and the industry as a whole, said Paul Arrowsmith, president of LIMRA and LOMA International.”
