Virtual Financial Group Shakes Up The Old Guard In $5.8 Trillion Industry

Virtual Financial Group is challenging the status quo in a 150 year old industry opening a new opportunity for a lucrative home based business.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA April 15th, 2014 -- In the well-funded and very established Life Insurance industry change comes slow and infrequently. One distribution channel, Virtual Financial Group (VFG), is challenging the status quo. By leveraging the latest online tools & technology, VFG's system allows for a new type of agent & entrepreneur to enter the industry. "The Internet has changed how we live and it has begun to change how we work in many different industry sectors, and it makes sense that the insurance industry will make this change as well," says Mike Hinsvark, one of the principal founders of VFG and 28-year industry veteran.

As the traditional industry struggles with attrition and the inability to attract and retain replacement agents, VFG has broken the code on this decades old dilemma. As with most industry revolutions in the past 20 years the solution is technology. "Working 'virtually', whether it be from a home office or while on vacation, is one of the new freedoms we can all experience. And from a business perspective, no longer do we have to maintain high overhead costs for buildings or transportation. The VFG model becomes a 'win-win' for agents and industry alike," says Rich Thawley.

Technology is integrated at all levels of the operation from marketing, recruitment & training to online sales presentations & eApps, adding speed and sizzle to an industry often viewed as antiquated. The added elements bring the once out-dated processes in alignment with the use of technology eagerly adopted by many industries and consumers during the past decade.

VFG with its revolutionary assembly line process or "Tier System" allows a new type of individual to enter into the lucrative financial services field (veterans, entrepreneurs, handicapped individuals or stay-at-home moms) by delegating the sales process to experienced financial consultants, and there by allowing these new agents to become Licensed "Virtual Internet Marketers" and focus on simply driving Internet traffic, using a revolutionary online marketing system and automated follow up tools.
