3 ASB Agents Selected for Royal Neighbors womenLEAD Life Insurance Forum

CHARLESTON, S.C. - July 2, 2015 - PRLog -- Three agents from Cornerstone Wealth Advisory Group, affiliated with American Senior Benefits, received the “royal treatment” in life insurance and women-empowerment training.   Susan Baker and Teresa Walker, both from Summerville, and Cheryl Morris from Goose Creek, were selected from across the nation to participate in Royal Neighbors of America’s womenLEAD Forum at the organization’s headquarters, 230 16^th St., Rock Island, Illinois.

    Royal Neighbors, one of the largest women-led life insurance organizations in the U.S., invited these agents to the forum to provide tools and education to women working in the predominately male insurance industry, as well as provide them a network of resources to further build their careers.

    Presentations were given by Royal Neighbors management on underwriting, products, marketing plans, sales concepts, and the organization’s history and philanthropic mission.

    “We are very much aligned with Royal Neighbors’ vision to protect and empower women and each of the agents who attended the womenLEAD Forum have different qualities that make them successful,” said Michael Haskett, CEO of Cornerstone Wealth Tax Advisory Group.  “The one thing they all have in common is their dedication and hard work ethic. Teresa has been with us since shortly after we founded Cornerstone and she had always had this intuition that helps her connect with clients in a way I've never seen before. Susan has great attention to detail and works hard to educate herself on even the smallest details of a policy. Cheryl is driven to help grow our agency and frequently comes up with innovative ideas that help our office as a whole. I couldn't run my agency with the success I do, without these women.

    Haskett also praised Royal Neighbors.

    “Royal Neighbors took the time to create a forum that truly speaks to female agent’s needs,” said Haskett. “I know each of these women will be even more successful in the future, and that is great news for everyone.”
