Advisors' Academy Adds New Product Coach with Vast Knowledge and Business Growth Experience

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - June 19, 2013 - PRLog -- Advisors’ Academy, a growing marketing organization in the finance industry, is pleased to announce that Patrick Walsh has been named the company’s new Product Coach.  In this vital coaching role, Walsh will assist the Academy’s member agents in determining the most suitable financial products for their clients in specific situations.  His extensive background in the field includes five years with the Hartford Life subsidiary PLANCO, and three years as Internal Brokerage Manager for Universal Insurance Services.

“Knowing the importance of this role to our agents, I really put applicants to the test and Patrick was the one candidate who passed with flying colors,” said Advisors’ Academy founder David J. Scranton.  “As this company continues to grow, we are committed to providing product support that sets the industry standard, and that’s exactly what we now provide.”

A Philadelphia native, Walsh said he’s excited about this new opportunity and has already formed many great relationships within the Academy’s growing ranks of advisors.

“This is a great fit for me because I have a lot of experience when it comes to applying my knowledge to help the agents grow their business, and that’s what this company is all about,” Walsh said.  “In my time with Universal Insurance, I was the only manager who handled all lines of business - life insurance, annuities, disability and long-term care – and we worked with all carriers so I have a vast knowledge of products.”

Walsh is among several recent coaching additions to what Scranton calls “The New Advisors’ Academy” – a term that illustrates the many growth and improvement initiatives the company has undertaken to best meet the needs of its many new and long-time agents.
