PHP Agency Inc., a rapidly expanding financial services marketing organization, is entering the new decade with a vision of fundamentally reinvigorating the financial services industry. Last December, a record-breaking 6,653 insurance applications were written, up more than 100% from December 2018. With this continued momentum, PHP hosted five regional events throughout the month of January, providing education, training, and entertainment to more than 6,500 agents.

“Kicking off the year with these regional events ensures our agents are equipped with the latest product knowledge and training with the new technologies that make the client’s experience world-class,” said Maral Keshishian, Chief Reputation Officer at PHP Agency. “The regional events were hosted by five different field organizations, up from three in 2019. Each brought their own flavor to the organization, incorporating their team and PHP culture while recognizing the agents that had outstanding achievements in 2019.”
These organizations, made up primarily by minorities, are highly competitive and driven by entrepreneurship. This emphasis on diversity and inclusivity is a crucial change PHP aspires to continue to integrate into the industry.
