10.1 : GP continues to count Milestones
10 Years, 1 Team for Change- that was the highlight of the recently concluded 2009 Generali Pilipinas’ Kick-Off last March 3, 2009. The annual kick-off is the commencement of all the sales rallies which are echoed to all branches and regions throughout the year. This year’s theme concentrated on one of GP’s biggest milestones thus far, its 10th year anniversary since its inception in the Philippines.
Mr. Derek Chan, president and CEO of Generali Pilipinas laid emphasis on 2009 Calendar of Events and contests such as the launching of the Chairman’s Cup, the 2009 GEN Annual Rewards Palawan trip and the 2009 GEN Rewards International Trip Incentive. In relation to the Sales Contests, Mr. Chan further explained the changes on the contest format which has now shorter periods and easier contest requirements. The objective is to have more qualifiers thus leading to a more fun-filled convention. Mr. Chan also elevated the friendly competition between the two most prominent channels in GP, the Exclusive Agency and BancAssurance channels, to the next level.
The two channel heads were given the opportunity to perk-up their respective channels through the cascade of their Business Strategies and Action Plans. The BancAssurance Channel was spearheaded by no other than Mr. Melvin J. Esteban, Senior Vice-President and BancAssurance Head while the Exclusive Agency Channel was led by Mr. Joe V. Ferreria, Senior Executive Vice-President and Exclusive Agency Head.
The event was also graced by none other than, Mr. Nestor V. Tan, Chairman of GP’s Executive Committee and BDO President who shared tips on treating insurance as a religion thereby inspiring those present to achieve more in 2009.
Moreover, part of the Kick-Off was also devoted to the recognition of record-breaking producers from 2008. Qualifiers to both Vancouver and Macau were called one-by-one onstage to receive their trophy.
Mr. Chan predicted the March 3 Kick-Off as a very special day, and with all the more than 500 hopeful attendees from BancAssurance and Exclusive Agency, it was indeed a monumental event and a very special day!
