The MDRT Academy continues to grow with new members from Sun Life Asia

SINGAPORE – Media
OutReach – 2 June 2021 – The MDRT Academy — a new association
helping financial professionals accelerate their careers — recently welcomed
more than 670 advisors from Sun Life Asia to its membership ranks.  The addition of Sun Life advisors from Hong
Kong, the Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam and Malaysia will make Sun Life the
MDRT Academy’s largest membership company to date. The Academy will supplement
Sun Life’s Brighter Gen and Brighter Pro training and development program, and
together support Sun Life’s ambition to be a market leader in quality financial
advice.

“Sun Life’s goal is to have the most respected advisors
in the industry, known for the quality of their advice and their
professionalism,” said Leo Grepin, Sun Life Asia President. “The MDRT Academy
is a valuable addition to our Brighter Academy advisor development programs, which
build the skills and capabilities to guide advisors along their career journey
from rookie, to MDRT, and then leading agency manager. With access to the best
training and experience, Sun Life advisors can achieve their career ambitions
and deliver the best experience to our clients,” Grepin said.

The MDRT Academy was launched in 2017 to help financial services
professionals reach greater production levels and join MDRT. The MDRT Academy
was designed to be a fully digital experience, allowing members to access the
tools, resources and community anytime and anywhere through an intuitive
website and mobile app. 

“We’re excited to work with Sun Life, and there is no
doubt that the MDRT Academy will help their advisors increase their production,
improve their client service skills and learn best practices from experienced
MDRT members,” said MDRT President Ian Green, Dip PFS. “The tools for building
a successful career in financial services are literally at their fingertips.”

The MDRT Academy features an assessment that helps members
better understand and identify their strengths and growth areas — and
personalizes content to a member’s needs and areas of interest. It also offers goal
setting and performance-tracking tools, monthly webcasts featuring MDRT
members, Performance Guides, as well as hundreds of articles, videos and
podcast episodes. MDRT Academy members also have the opportunity to attend
MDRT’s Annual Meeting.
