Allianz Asia Pacific has marked a significant milestone with the graduation of 200 agents and agency leaders from its Pinnacle Excellence Programme (PEP), developed in collaboration with INSEAD. This pioneering initiative aims to enhance the skills of Allianz’s agency force, aligning with the company’s Pinnacle 2030 strategy for sustainable growth and improved client engagement.
The inaugural cohort of PEP graduates has already demonstrated impressive results, with a 40% increase in productivity and nearly 40% qualifying for the Million Dollar Round Table, a prestigious benchmark in financial advisory. These achievements have contributed to a 19% rise in New Business Value and an 8% growth in Annualised Premiums for Allianz in the first nine months of 2024.
Notably, the Annualised Premiums per active agent increased by 11%, highlighting the programme’s impact on developing a high-performing, client-focused network.
PEP stands out by integrating academic and practical learning, crafted with input from Allianz’s top agents and leaders across Asia Pacific. The programme includes:
– Blended learning combining case studies, projects, and role-playing.
– Skill modules covering Customer Psychology, Leadership, Communication, and Entrepreneurial Strategies.
– Real-world application to translate classroom learning into practical results.
Anusha Thavarajah, Regional CEO of Allianz Asia Pacific, stated, “The Pinnacle Excellence Programme is a key pillar of our Pinnacle 2030 strategy, designed to elevate our agency force, enhance client engagement, and drive long-term growth.”
This initiative not only transfers knowledge but also shapes the future of financial advisory by equipping agents with essential skills for sustainable success.
