World Financial Group, commonly known as WFG, had an impressive year in 2011 in terms of growth and prosperity for its agents. The company achieved its strongest agent growth in the last decade thanks to an unprecedented number of new independent associates joining the team during October of last year. Having had approximately 7,380 new agents join the company during that single month, World Financial Group now has a stronger foundation than ever. The prior record of 6,808 was reached three years ago, in October 2008. It seems this new record shows signs of economic growth for the company, and perhaps for North America, where its associates live.
As a financial services marketing company that puts power in the hands of its associates and supports the economic stability of its clients, World Financial Group has given itself a unique position in the market that allows for this type of impressive growth. The company thrives when its independent associates thrive. With associates throughout the U.S. and Canada, World Financial Group is able to assist hardworking individuals and their families in achieving their financial goals in both small towns and big cities.
WFG President and CEO Joe DiPaola was recently asked about the record-breaking addition of agents, and said he thinks it signals a new era in growth that will continue throughout 2012. He commented that World Financial Group is currently in a great position to continue growing thanks to some company-wide changes, such as robust new technologies and enhanced compensation packages. These initiatives are attracting the best and brightest people and helping them get licensed, trained and up & running so each company within the company is able to do the best it possibly can. New products and services are also helping associates attract more customers and expand the network, creating a stronger foundation for the success of everyone who does business with World Financial Group.
World Financial Group Chief Marketing Officer Paul Mineck added that the tough economic times may have laid the groundwork for a new era in growth for the company. Many people are looking for alternatives to their previous careers because they want the control of being their own boss and mapping out their own lives in a way that is best for them and their families. This sort of financial independence is what has always attracted people to WFG, and it is what will continue helping the company grow as the 21stcentury rolls on.
