Golden Eagle Insurance™ Introduces Agent Learning Center

One-stop online source supports agents’ full training & development needs

San Diego, CA - March 4, 2010 - Golden Eagle Insurance, a Liberty Mutual Agency Markets regional company, has introduced its comprehensive online Agent Learning Center for its appointed agencies. Designed to alleviate the time and financial constraints that agencies face in developing new producers and staff, the Agent Learning Center is a best-in-class, one-stop training and development resource for agency partners to grow their businesses.    

Agents can now register for classroom workshops and participate in virtual or self-paced online programs, many of which qualify for continuing education credits. They can access an expanding catalog of professional development courses, including general insurance topics, sales, product, office productivity, consultative selling, and agency management. An Agency Manager Toolkit is available to assist agency owners or principals in hiring and developing successful new producers. 

“This new channel gives our agency partners greater flexibility and affordability in training their producers and staffs,” said Peter McPartland, president and chief executive officer, Golden Eagle Insurance. “By making continuing education readily accessible and expanding our learning options to meet an agency’s full needs, we are giving them the means to develop their talent at a pace that better accommodates their day-to-day operations.”

Agency convenience and full online capabilities were key focuses in developing the Agent Learning Center. Producers and staff can access the Agent Learning Center to:

• Register for live classroom or virtual training sessions;
• Participate in instructor-led and self-paced online classes;
• Access industry links and information; and
• Pay for classes by credit card.

An important element of Golden Eagle Insurance’s commitment to agents’ profitability and new producers’ success is its Commercial Lines New Producer Program. The 30-week development curriculum, profiled in the Agent Learning Center, is a blended learning approach that combines online instruction, webinars, and in-agency mentoring with classroom training. The program is supported by AICPCU materials and graduates receive the Insurance Institute of America’s Accredited Advisor in Insurance (AAI) designation.
