For Immediate Release:
Indianapolis (Aug. 3, 2010) –The Employee Benefits Division at American United Life Insurance Company® (AUL), a OneAmerica company, has been named a Voluntary Sales Growth Leader by Eastbridge Consulting Group, Inc.
“This year, we congratulate AUL,” said Gil Lowerre, president of Eastbridge Consulting Group. “AUL has experienced double-digit sales growth in the group voluntary insurance market for each of the last three years, and the company’s 2009 growth rate for these products was in excess of 50 percent.”
Eastbridge Consulting Group Inc., a marketing advisory firm, recognizes companies that exceed their growth goals each year. Companies must show they’ve grown and be leading in the current year’s sales growth among their competitors.
As group voluntary insurance sales continue to grow industry-wide, AUL’s Employee Benefits division has exceeded the average rate of growth for these products over three consecutive years, according to Eastbridge’s U.S. Worksite Sales Report.
“We’re honored to be recognized for sales growth on the group voluntary insurance side,” said Len Cavallaro vice president of AUL’s Employee Benefits division. “It shows that we’re a stable company and further confirms our position as a leader in the group voluntary insurance market.”
The AUL Employee Benefits Division works with Eastbridge Consulting Group throughout the year by providing information related to practices, processes and marketing. Eastbridge uses the information to create industry-wide surveys that allow AUL to track trends and see where they’re headed in the marketplace.
“This recognition proves that we support processes, people and products and it’s taking hold in the marketplace,” Cavallaro said. “It’s also an indication that our value proposition of leading with voluntary is getting out there and others are heeding it.”
