LTC Financial Partners Is On a Roll; With 40% of the Nation's Best Performers Already, They're Attracting Even More With Independence and New Income

KIRKLAND, WA (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Today LTC Financial Partners LLC, the nation's most experienced long-term care insurance brokerage, announced the results of a recruiting campaign launched in September: 65 new Partners enrolled to date. "We're delighted," says Cameron Truesdell, CEO, "but we won't be satisfied until we have 300 of the best of the best." Known in the industry as LTCFP or "The Partners," the brokerage now includes 151 independent agents nationwide.

Started in 2003, the brokerage is on course to lead the LTCi field in number of agents, expertise, and volume of premium placed. LTCFP's Partners average eight years' experience; and that's in long-term care insurance (LTCi) exclusively. Of America's 150 top LTCi producers, 60 or 40% are LTC Financial Partners. "But we've only just begun," says Craig Smith, President. "We want to include a majority of those who are committed to being specialists; and who want back-end support so they can focus on business," he says.

What's the key to LTCFP's rapid growth? "Ownership," says Truesdell. "Every Partner gets shares, and the number of shares goes up based on production." That means a whole new income stream from share dividends -- a new concept in the LTCi field. This stream is above and beyond the traditional income from premium renewals. The details of LTCFP ownership are explained in a "Partner Package," available on request at --

While enjoying independence and multiple income streams, the organization's Partners get the kind of central support common in large insurance companies: help with advertising, public relations, and lead generation so they don't have to make so many cold calls. "We think we offer the best of both worlds," says Jonas Roeser, Director of Marketing, who has won awards for his brochures and other support materials.

Under the leadership of Dan Cahn, VP of Business Development, LTCFP is forming alliances with banks and associations such as the National Network of Estate Planning Attorneys. "They call us in when their clients have long-term care needs," he says. "For our Partners, that means instant hot prospects with no pounding of the pavement."

Cahn adds, "We need a lot more Partners to service our national accounts." These include several wire houses (companies in the financial service industry). "We are now assigning Partners to wire-house branch offices throughout the country."

As 77 million baby boomers near retirement, the LTCi field is set for explosive growth. "We're exploding too," says Truesdell. He and co-founder Craig Smith are pioneers in their field. They were principals of LTC Inc., founded in 1985 and later sold to GE Capital. Their new venture distinguishes itself by offering carefully selected products from multiple leading carriers including Allianz, MetLife, MedAmerica, Prudential, John Hancock, Physicians Mutual, and Unum Provident.

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “KIRKLAND, WA - Dec. 16 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Will you or a family member need expensive long-term care someday? Almost for sure -- but if you're like most people, you don't want to think about it. But what if you could turn your mind, instead, to bright, bullish prospects? Visions of sailing or playing golf into your 90's, traveling, eating out ... or sheltering a few hundred thousand dollars from taxes? That's the focus of a video clip and guidebook from LTC Financial Partners, the nation's most experienced long-term care insurance brokerage.”

Upbeat Information Helps Preserve Health & Wealth, Co-authored by Experts at LTC Financial Partners

KIRKLAND, WA (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Will you or a family member need expensive long-term care someday? Almost for sure -- but if you're like most people, you don't want to think about it. But what if you could turn your mind, instead, to bright, bullish prospects? Visions of sailing or playing golf into your 90's, traveling, eating out ... or sheltering a few hundred thousand dollars from taxes? That's the focus of a video clip and guidebook from LTC Financial Partners, the nation's most experienced long-term care insurance brokerage.

The video clip is extracted from the TV series "Living In Style" and features LTC spokesperson Amy Pollock. The guidebook is "Dignity for Life: Facts That Can Protect Your Assets & Quality of Life." Rather than dwelling on depressing dangers, the guidebook and clip present the positives of smart planning. For example, did you know that -

* There's a preventive strategy for most leading causes of long-term disability?

* You can get a policy that returns your entire premium if you never need care (quite an incentive for staying fit!)?

* Properly-selected LTC insurance can protect your nest egg better than smart investments?

The 28-page guidebook draws on the combined experience of LTC Financial's 155 partners, who include 40% the nation's 100 most successful long term care insurance agents. "It's the only guide written by experts in the field who really know the facts and have a passion for helping people," says Cameron Truesdell, CEO. "Each co-author is 'the' expert in their region or specialty."

While focusing on positives, the video clip and guidebook also cover critical issues such as -

* Who tends to need long term care, and why,

* Alternative ways of paying for care, and

* How to choose the right policy from a sound carrier, and avoid rate escalation.

The video clip and guidebook are available free of charge, at http://www.eranova.com/LTCFP/contact.htm

Author: LTC Financial Partners LLC
Dateline: Fri, 02 Dec 2005

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “LYNNWOOD, WA - Dec. 2 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- As the population ages, homeowners and real estate professionals face a challenge: meeting the special needs of people who can't take care of themselves. Things like making bathrooms wheelchair-accessible, or creating space for hired care workers.”



A R T I C L E:

As 77 Million Baby Boomers Approach Retirement, the Hottest Homes Will Accommodate Special Needs

LYNNWOOD, WA (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- As the population ages, homeowners and real estate professionals face a challenge: meeting the special needs of people who can't take care of themselves. Things like making bathrooms wheelchair-accessible, or creating space for hired care workers.

(c) Send2PressA new course, in live and correspondence form, will show how to meet senior needs and boost home values by including the right features and amenities. It's the brainchild of Christine Khemis, a nationally ranked long-term care specialist and Partner of LTC Financial Partners LLC, the nation's leading long-term care insurance brokerage. The live version of the course will debut in Bellevue, Washington, on December 9. The correspondence version will follow in 2006.

*(Photo Caption: Photo of Christine Khemis.)

"As 77 million Baby Boomers move into their senior years," says Khemis, "real estate is becoming a whole new ballgame. Almost every family will need to care for someone at some point, but few homes lend themselves to in-home care." Houses and apartments that are made ready will be in high demand, she asserts.

The live version of the course, "The Long-Term Care Crisis in America: Understanding the Trends That Will Help You Prosper in Challenging Times," will be held for the first time from 9 AM to 1 PM on Friday, December 9, at MBA University, MBA Housing Center, 335 116th Avenue SE, Bellevue, WA.

Continuing education credit is offered for real estate, insurance, financial, and legal professionals.

Nation’s Top Long-Term Care Insurance Producers Announced

Author: LTC Financial Partners LLC
Dateline: Thu, 17 Nov 2005

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “KIRKLAND, WA - Nov. 17 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Long-Term Care Sales Strategies magazine has awarded the 2005 National LTCi Sales Achievement Award to 60 Partners of LTC Financial Partners LLC. The honor recognizes the nation's leading long-term care insurance specialists and was presented at the recent National LTCi Producers Summit, the annual industry conference, held in Kansas City, MO. ”



A R T I C L E:

40% of the Awards Go to Partners of One Organization: LTC Financial Partners LLC, a Fast-Growing Agent-Owned Brokerage

KIRKLAND, WA (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Long-Term Care Sales Strategies magazine has awarded the 2005 National LTCi Sales Achievement Award to 60 Partners of LTC Financial Partners LLC. The honor recognizes the nation's leading long-term care insurance specialists and was presented at the recent National LTCi Producers Summit, the annual industry conference, held in Kansas City, MO.

(c) Send2PressThe 60 accounted for 40% of all those honored, 150, from all agencies in the industry. "There are over 25,000 insurance agents and brokers nationwide who specialize in long-term care protection," says Jesse Slome, editor-in-chief of Sales Strategies magazine, the long-term care insurance industry's professional trade publication. "To be recognized as one of the top 150 is truly an indication of the individual's professionalism, accomplishment and dedicated commitment to serving consumers in their community."

*(Photo Caption: Cameron Truesdell, CEO of LTC Financial Partners LLC.)

LTC Financial Partners won a large share of the awards because, "We put the customer first, and we really know our business," says Cameron Truesdell, CEO. "Long-term care insurance is all we do. Also, we focus on education and service, not selling." In addition, the brokerage attracts top agents by offering them ownership shares, an industry first. Starting with two agents in 2003, LTC Financial Partners has grown to over 130 and adds new people monthly. "We have the most experienced, passionate and successful team ever assembled, and we've only just started."

As 77 million baby boomers approach retirement, the demand for long-term care insurance is likely to mushroom. "We're here to help millions of Americans find the right protection," says Truesdell. "With hundreds of top agents, we still won't be able to handle the volume."

Of the 60 Partners receiving awards, two were named among the top 10 performers: Shelly Kapfhammer and Todd Grove. Jonas Roeser, Director of Marketing, won a Marketing Excellence Award; his organization was the only independent brokerage so honored, sharing kudos with MetLife, MedAmerica and other major insurance carriers.

LTC Financial Partners is America's only national, agent-owned brokerage offering policies from multiple carriers, including MedAmerica, MetLife, John Hancock, Physicians Mutual, Prudential, Allianz, UnumProvident, and Penn Treaty.

Averting Financial Disaster for 20 Million – KC Confab Will Chart the Path

Author: LTC Financial Partners LLC
Dateline: Wed, 28 Sep 2005

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “KANSAS CITY, MO - September 28 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, by 2025 more than 20 million Americans - incapacitated athletes and children as well as aging baby boomers - will need long-term care services. Ordinary health insurance won't cover it. Neither, in all likelihood, will Medicaid, as legislative reform cracks down on benefits claimed by the affluent. Yet, 'We can have long-term care protection for every American,' says Cameron Truesdell, CEO of LTC Financial Partners LLC, the nation's leading LTC insurance brokerage.”



A R T I C L E:

Army of 100 Experts, from LTC Financial Partners, Will Meet with Government and Insurance Leaders to Plan Attack

KANSAS CITY, MO - September 28 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, by 2025 more than 20 million Americans -- incapacitated athletes and children as well as aging baby boomers -- will need long-term care services. Ordinary health insurance won't cover it. Neither, in all likelihood, will Medicaid, as legislative reform cracks down on benefits claimed by the affluent. Yet, "We can have long-term care protection for every American," says Cameron Truesdell, CEO of LTC Financial Partners LLC, the nation's leading LTC insurance brokerage.

Toward that ambitious goal, his organization is sending over 100 of their Partners, all experts in long-term care protection, to the 2005 National LTCi Producers Summit in Kansas City, MO, at the Westin Crown Center Hotel, October 16-18.

"Almost every American will be seriously affected by this," says Truesdell. "All it takes is for one member of their family to get hurt or sick for a long period." He believes, as do growing numbers of federal and state legislators, that LTC protection should be as common as auto insurance. "We're going to make it happen!" he asserts. "And it all starts here, at this conference."

Over 700 participants are expected, with invited VIP's that include --

* U.S. Senator Kit Bond (R, MO), who has sponsored legislation to give an above-the-line tax deduction to help people afford LTC insurance.

* Christopher Perna, President of MedAmerica.

* Executives from MetLife and John Hancock.

* And key representatives of other carriers and LTC-related organizations.

While immediate disasters command headlines, the long-term care crisis -- which could bankrupt tens of millions -- goes virtually unnoticed. "Most people just don't realize the danger they face," says Truesdell. "They're healthy and bullish about their future. What they don't know is that by living longer, they're exposed to more bouts of incapacity than previous generations were." Those bouts require expensive care not covered by regular insurance. A federal awareness campaign, conducted earlier this year, made promising inroads, but "the vast majority of Americans remain in the dark," says Truesdell. The Kansas City get-together aims to start fixing that, and also to spark an ever-improving set of public and private-sector solutions.

More information is available at: www.eranova.com/LTCFP/kcevent.htm

Truesdell and co-founder Craig Smith are pioneers of their field. They were principals of LTC Inc., founded in 1985 and later sold to GE Capital. Their present organization distinguishes itself as a national organization of specialists who help people find the coverage that's right for them, from multiple leading carriers including MetLife, John Hancock, MedAmerica, Prudential, Allianz, Physicians Mutual, and Unum Provident. "Before Truesdell," says Smith, "long-term care insurance did not exist by that name. It was called nursing home insurance. Truesdell defined the concept and developed the role of specialist. And now we work closely with the carriers and support government iniatives to educate the public and make sound policies available."

The October 16-18 Summit was organized by Jesse R. Slome, Executive Director of the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance.

With Government Distracted, Private Program Seeks to Avert New Disaster: Abject End for Millions

Author: LTC Financial Partners LLC
Dateline: Wed, 21 Sep 2005

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “KIRKLAND, WA and KANSAS CITY, MO - September 21 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- In June the federal government ended a pilot program to alert the nation to an impending social disaster: millions of longer-living Americans unprepared to survive longer-lasting incapacities. The pilot, run in five states, grew out of a recognition that government could not afford to fund a yawning gap in health coverage. Since life spans have been increasing and 77 million baby boomers are nearing retirement, bouts of incapacity are expected to explode; and ordinary health insurance doesn't cover it, say the experts at LTC Financial Partners.”

Free Information from America's Leading Provider of Long Term Care Insurance from Multiple Carriers

KIRKLAND, WA and KANSAS CITY, MO - September 21 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- In June the federal government ended a pilot program to alert the nation to an impending social disaster: millions of longer-living Americans unprepared to survive longer-lasting incapacities. The pilot, run in five states, grew out of a recognition that government could not afford to fund a yawning gap in health coverage. Since life spans have been increasing and 77 million baby boomers are nearing retirement, bouts of incapacity are expected to explode; and ordinary health insurance doesn't cover it, say the experts at LTC Financial Partners.

Called the Long Term Care Consumer Awareness Campaign, the terminated federal pilot was to be revived and go national with an infusion of new funding. That seems unlikely now that other priorities compete for an overextended budget. A private initiative, however, is stepping up to the plate. Announced today, the Long Term Care Outreach & Education Program (LTCOEP) will dispense free information in print, online, and by phone. Any American individual, company, or non-profit may request a free guidebook, consultation, and other help at www.eranova.com/LTCFP/contact.htm.

The educational program is offered by Long Term Care Financial Partners LLC, America's leading provider of long term care insurance from multiple carriers. It will be staffed by the organization's 100-plus Partners, all experts in the field.

The need for LTCOEP is great, according to Cameron Truesdell, CEO. "Most people don't realize the danger they're in, just from living longer," he says. "Americans are healthier than ever. That's good, but they don't see the downside. With longer life spans there's more time for them to have periods of downtime -- and most aren't protected by long term care insurance." That spells potential misery, he asserts: sudden impoverishment followed by a hard life and depressing end to it all. "Elder poverty sits there waiting, like a vulture, even for the well-off. But it doesn't have to get you."

On October 16-18 at the 2005 National LTCi Producers Summit in Kansas City, Truesdell and over 100 of his Partners will congregate to advance their educational program. In special sessions with professional guests, they will explore ways to bring the long term care problem and solution directly to Americans, and indirectly in affiliation with banks, financial advisors, insurance brokers, associations, and businesses seeking to protect their employees. Information on the event is available at www.eranova.com/LTCFP/kc.htm.

Truesdell and co-founder Craig Smith are pioneers in their field. They were principals of LTC Inc., founded in 1985 and later sold to GE Capital. Their present organization distinguishes itself by offering carefully selected insurance products from multiple leading carriers including Allianz, MetLife, MedAmerica, Prudential, John Hancock, Physicians Mutual, and Unum Provident.

LTC Financial Partners Attracts Top Agents with Industry First: Ownership

Author: LTC Financial Partners LLC
Dateline: Tue, 13 Sep 2005

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “KIRKLAND, Wash. - September 13 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- LTC Financial Partners LLC, the nation's first and only national, agent-owned long term care insurance brokerage, today announced a bold campaign to recruit a commanding majority of the industry's best agents.”

Fast-growing Brokerage, Leader in Long Term Care Insurance, Offers New Income Stream Based on Shares

KIRKLAND, Wash. - September 13 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- LTC Financial Partners LLC, the nation's first and only national, agent-owned long term care insurance brokerage, today announced a bold campaign to recruit a commanding majority of the industry's best agents.

The brokerage, founded in 2003, already leads the LTCi field with more than 100 Partners averaging seven years' experience. Of America's 100 top LTCi producers, more than half are LTC Financial Partners. "But we're not satisfied," says Craig Smith, President. "We're looking for more of the best." The firm seeks to double, triple or even quadruple its size by attracting "those really committed to being specialists and wanting to join a top-performing organization," he says.

What's the carrot? "Ownership," says Cameron Truesdell, Chairman and CEO. "Every Partner gets shares, a new concept in the LTCi field; and the number of shares goes up based on production." That means that agents can look forward to a whole new income stream: dividends from their shares. This stream is designed to keep flowing, month after month, on top of agents' premium renewals.

The ownership concept is explained in a "Partner Package," available soon to qualified candidates. It may be requested, free of charge, at -

http://www.eranova.com/LTCFP/own.htm

As owners of LTC Financial Partners, agents enjoy a national infrastructure that further maximizes their success by minimizing the things they hate, like cold calls to solicit appointments. For example, the company is cutting deals with national banks, associations of various types, and organizations like the National Network of Estate Planning Attorneys. These affiliates, "uncover the needs, then call our Partners in as the experts," states Dan Cahn, VP of Business Development.

The brokerage expects to keep growing rapidly, at the rate of 30% or more per year. "Just think of the untapped market," says Truesdell, "77 million healthy, active baby boomers nearing retirement." Truesdell and co-founder Craig Smith are pioneers in their field. They were principals of LTC Inc., founded in 1985 and later sold to GE Capital. Their new venture distinguishes itself by offering carefully selected products from multiple leading carriers including Allianz, MetLife, MedAmerica, Prudential, John Hancock, Physicians Mutual, and Unum Provident.

In addition to requesting the "Partner Package," candidates are encouraged to call their national recruiter, Arienne Channer, at 866-471-4072 for immediate information.
Candidates may also meet the founders and over 100 of the Partners at the 2005 National LTCi Producers Summit, in Kansas City, October 16-18. The Summit is the nation's premiere conference for long term care agents. More information is available at http://www.eranova.com/LTCFP/own.htm

Long Term Care Insurance Brokerage Announces Chain of Press Information Websites

Author: LTC Financial Partners LLC
Dateline: Tue, 06 Sep 2005

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “KIRKLAND, Wash. - September 6 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- The Partners of LTC Financial Partners LLC (with offices across the country) want to be the best sources of long term care insurance information in their local areas. To that end, the organization announced today a chain of websites that will feed facts to the press. The sites are also available to the general public.”



A R T I C L E:

In Most Areas, Facts from Local Experts Now Available to Reporters, Broadcasters, and the Public

KIRKLAND, Wash. - September 6, 2005 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- The Partners of LTC Financial Partners LLC (with offices across the country) want to be the best sources of long term care insurance information in their local areas. To that end, the organization announced today a chain of websites that will feed facts to the press. The sites are also available to the general public.

"Most Americans don't realize the danger they're in and how to protect themselves," says Cameron Truesdell, CEO of LTC Financial Partners. "Local newspapers, radio, TV, magazines, newsletters, and blogs can spread the word and really make a difference. Our Partners will give them the ammunition."

The danger, Truesdell explains, stems from a gap in health insurance protection. "Regular insurance doesn't cover the care you need for longer-lasting injuries or illnesses." Long term care insurance, a relatively new instrument, is designed to pay for nursing home care, assisted living, and home health care, "which can drain your assets if you're not covered," Truesdell says. "People need to realize how easily they can avert disaster -- just by filling the insurance gap."

Earlier this year the federal government and five states launched a "Long-Term Care Consumer Awareness Campaign" to combat the ignorance. "But the funding ran out in June," says Truesdell, "so our experts are taking up the gauntlet."


Each local website offers -

* A growing series of press releases,

* Story-angle suggestions (offering provocative topics for reporters and broadcasters, and ideas for program chairs who would like the expert to speak to their group),

* A biography of the expert,

* And other data including breaking information on the Internet.

Truesdell's organization -- which has a national footprint -- is providing its advisory and brokerage services through a growing number of alliances with major banks, NRL Federal Credit Union, the National Network of Estate Planning Attorneys, and the National Association of Insurance Women. Alliances with sports franchises are in the works, "To protect at-risk players, and to drive home the fact that LTC protection is for all active, vigorous people, as well as aging Americans," Truesdell says.

A list of the press information websites is available at www.eranova.com/LTCFP/partners.htm

An informational guidebook may be requested at www.eranova.com/LTCFP/contact.htm

As Americans live longer, millions will have lengthy bouts of incapacity due to accident or illness. Neither ordinary health insurance nor Medicare covers extended care. "Without LTC insurance, all the bills come to you," says Truesdell. "In a couple of years, your savings could be gone. Most American's don't see the financial risk that comes with longer life spans. But the lawyers get it."

"We are proud to enter into a strategic alliance with LTC Financial Partners," says Daniel P. Stuenzi, J.D., Chief Operating Officer of the National Network of Estate Planning Attorneys. "We have been impressed by the credentials of their team members and their detailed knowledge of the industry. We will be happy to not only recommend LTCFP partners to our attorneys, but will actively pursue ways to get the two groups together to better serve our mutual clients."

"We are excited about partnering with them," says Truesdell. "They're the premier organization in the estate planning industry."
