2013 NAIFA Quality Award Summary General Information

The NAIFA Quality Award provides advisors at any career stage, the opportunity to demonstrate a commitment to exceptional:

Professionalism through education and earned designations
Production measured by performance metrics customized for each practice specialty
Adherence to the NAIFA code of ethics, and
Service to your industry association.

Advisors specializing in Life & Annuities, Financial Advising & Investments, Health & Employee Benefits, Multiline Sales or any combination of these specialties have the opportunity to demonstrate the quality that is the mark of a true professional.

One award, the NAIFA Quality Award, reflects all the varied practice specialties of NAIFA members with a singular mark recognized by all. The NAIFA Quality Award is the mark of distinction to be recognized by not just your colleagues, but by your clients and companies. Be recognized for your commitment to excellence in service to your clients and your industry, in your pursuit of education and training and in your adherence to NAIFA’s Code of Ethics. It is time for all NAIFA members to display proudly the mark of NAIFA Quality.

If your practice spans more than one specialty area, the unique bonus multiplier credits allow you to build credit toward your production qualifications by combining production across specialties. A demonstrated commitment to professional education and association leadership also earns you qualification credit.

The NAIFA Quality Award is a continuation of the former NAIFA Industry Awards. Previous recipients of the NAIFA Industry Awards will carry over their years of achievement to the NAIFA Quality Award. Previous recipients of NAIFA’s National Quality Award and National Sales Achievement Award will find the NAIFA Quality Award Life Insurance and Annuities Qualification is comparable.
