Like Jenner, who did best overall in 10 track and field events, &#8220;we&#8217;re leading our field in 10 key ways,&#8221; Truesdell claims. <\/p>\n<p> <em>These are:<\/em><br \/>  1. Revenue Growth: For three years in a row (2008, 2009, and 2010), LTCFP has been selected by Inc. Magazine as one of the nation&#8217;s 5,000 fastest-growing companies. And among large national agencies specializing in LTC insurance sales, none is growing faster than LTCFP.<\/p>\n<p>  2. Dividend Growth: The payout per share has doubled in a single year. For LTCFP agents who are shareholders, dividends represent a significant income stream beyond commission and renewal income. One agent, Gene Cutler, will receive more than $70,000 in dividends this coming March, up from about $35,000 last year.<\/p>\n<p>  3. More Agents Qualifying for Partner Status: 48 were acknowledged as new Partners at the annual meeting, for a total of 155 agents who are now Partners. Partners receive company shares and dividend payments.<\/p>\n<p>  4. Personnel Growth: LTCFP has increased nearly 6-fold in the past six years, from about 90 in 2005 to well over 500 today (agents and support staff).<\/p>\n<p>  5. Lead Generation: The company currently invests several million dollars per year finding people who might be interested in long-term care insurance &#8212; boosting the productivity of agents.<\/p>\n<p>  6. Public Relations Exposure: LTCFP&#8217;s press releases, national and local, produced about 4,000 &#8220;pickups&#8221; last year, as determined by Google searches.<\/p>\n<p>  7. Industry Support: LTCFP aids the growth of others in LTC insurance marketing. The company is a co-founder and sponsor of the &#8220;3 in 4 Need More&#8221; campaign, which seeks to multiply industry market penetration as much as 10-fold.<\/p>\n<p>  8. Training: LTCFP established and runs the LTC Insurance Training Institute, which helps newbies learn the business from scratch and gain state certification.<\/p>\n<p>  9. Service to Organizations: Long viewed as a consumer product, LTC insurance is increasingly being marketed as an employee or association-member benefit, thanks in part to LTCFP&#8217;s leadership. The company&#8217;s Long Term Care Outreach and Education Program (LTCOEP&reg;) provides free briefings and education to organizations of all sizes, including associations with millions of members.<\/p>\n<p>  10. Service to Humanity: LTCFP earmarks 2% of its profits for development aid in Africa and Haiti.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;In the LTC-industry decathlon, we&#8217;re leading by a mile,&#8221; says Truesdell. &#8220;And we&#8217;re doing it by pretty much following the same principles Jenner followed in winning the Olympic decathlon.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> Jenner didn&#8217;t let self-doubt, injuries, or stiff competition stand in his way. &#8220;Your destiny is in your hands,&#8221; he said in his keynote, and &#8220;Your greatest competitor is you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;We think of ourselves as business athletes,&#8221; says Truesdell. &#8220;We set bold goals, we&#8217;re self-motivated, and we don&#8217;t let things like a weak economy faze us.&#8221; He foresees continued rapid growth in the years ahead; and LTCFP is currently seeking 450 new agents.
