Barbara Hanson Named Recipient of National LTCi Sales Achievement Award

California Insurance Professional Recognized Among Top 100 Long-Term Care Specialists in Nation

Felton, CA, November 22 – Long-Term Care Sales Strategies magazine has awarded Barbara Hanson, a Partner of LTC Financial Partners LLC, the 2005 National LTCi Sales Achievement Award. The honor recognizes the nation's leading long-term care insurance specialists and was presented at the recent National LTCi Producers Summit, the annual industry conference, held in Kansas City, MO.

"There are over 25,000 insurance agents and brokers nationwide who specialize in long-term care protection," says Jesse Slome, editor-in-chief of Sales Strategies magazine, the long-term care insurance industry's professional trade publication. "To be recognized as one of the top 100 is truly an indication of the individual's professionalism, accomplishment and dedicated commitment to serving consumers in their community." Hanson ranked 79 in the nation.

In all, 150 top producers were honored; of these, 60 or 40% are fellow Partners of Hanson's organization, LTC Financial Partners. "We generate a high volume of business because we put the customer first, and we really know our business. Long-term care insurance is all we do," says Hanson. "Also, we focus on education and service, not selling."

LTC Financial Partners is America's only national, agent-owned brokerage that specializes in long-term care insurance from multiple carriers. Maintaining offices in Felton, Hanson serves the local area and, through Partners, other states throughout the nation. "We can help virtually anyone, anywhere, in any kind of circumstance," she says.
