Transamerica Worksite Marketing Announces Three New RVPs For The West: Chris Story, Belinda Strombeck and Shawn Smith
May 2 2006, Little Rock, AR - As the Transamerica Western Territory continues to grow and flourish under the leadership Territory Vice President of Transamerica Worksite Marketing, Joe Beckham, the need to add strength and experience remains a must. The three latest additions to the Western Territory, Chris Story, Belinda Strombeck and Shawn Smith are proof positive that worksite is alive and well from the Pacific Coast to the Louisiana Gulf Coast. The latest additions to the Western Territory field force not only assure that Transamerica Worksite Marketing is well positioned to leverage the strength of the Transamerica brand in a large portion of the U.S., but now have seasoned worksite professionals in place to service the growing distribution of voluntary benefits in the years to come.
Chris Story: Regional Vice President, Western Territory/North Texas. Responsible for the northern half of Texas within the Western Territory, Chris Story is based in North Texas and brings 20 years of industry experience to assist the persistent growth of Transamerica Worksite Marketing within the voluntary benefits marketplace. Story began his career in the insurance business in July 1986 as Director of Training for Southland Life. In 1990 he was recruited to Great Southern Life, working for more than five years as Model Office Manager and managing GSLs high-profile accounts, then took a Project Manager position with Universal Benefits Company where he was responsible for enrollments. Story joins Transamerica Worksite Marketing with over 19 years of experience in the insurance industry. Better still, Story comes aboard on the heels of a five-year tenor with Allstate Workplace Division where he served as the North
Texas Regional Director and was responsible for recruiting, training and development of the North Texas Region a region that will undoubtedly be very familiar as he works to grow distribution. Chris Story currently lives in Dallas, Texas.
Belinda Strombeck: Regional Vice President, Western Territory/South Texas. Responsible for the southern half of Texas within the Western Territory, Belinda Bel Strombeck is based in South Texas and brings a wealth of proven sales leadership to assist Transamerica Worksite Marketings efforts in maintaining a confident worksite presence within this burgeoning area of the U.S. Strombeck, a graduate of the University of California-Davis has spent the last eight years with American Fidelity and ING North America, having racked up an impressive list of achievements. In fact, her successes in building strong broker/client relationships, as well as identifying new business opportunities reads like a Whos Who of top performers. Beginning in 1998, Strombeck joined American Fidelity Assurance Company, providing companies with voluntary and employer paid benefits through distribution relationships, as well as section 125
administration programs and health reimbursement plans. In 2004, she joined forces with ING North America Insurance Companys Employee Benefits Division in Minneapolis where her primary focus was on larger employee cases, including a list of Fortune 500 companies. From 2001-2004 Strombeck was the #1 annualized premium producer for American Fidelity, successfully managing a $2.3 million block of business for a Wells Fargo Company. At ING, she not only hit the ground running, but also managed to generate $1.2 million in new premium within her first nine months of being employed with the carrier. The addition of Strombeck provides the Western Territory with a wealth of experience in the southern piece of Texas represented and she will undoubtedly pay dividends for the producers and employer groups within her reach.
Shawn Smith: Regional Vice President, Western Territory/California. Responsible for the state of California within the Western Territory, Shawn Smith brings 12 years of industry experience to assist the efforts of Transamerica Worksite Marketing in a continuing effort to successfully market a strong and balanced portfolio of voluntary benefits along the Pacific Coast. Immersed into the worksite marketplace in 1994, Smith worked as Sales Director for EOI Service Company in Orange County, where he successfully orchestrated more than 100 new client core and voluntary benefit enrollments. After nearly seven years of effectively interfacing with brokers and employer groups to insure productivity and quality, Smith joined UnumProvident as Senior Voluntary Benefit Consultant, working closely with the home office and brokers within the San Diego and Los Angeles sales offices of UnumProvident and coordinating efforts with a
number of western enrollment firms. Smith returned to EOI in 2002 as Senior Benefit Consultant where he generated voluntary benefit sales in excess of $1.6 million in 2004 and $1.9 million in 2005 within the territories of Southern California, Arizona, New Mexico and Nevada. Transamerica Worksite Marketing is fortunate to have Smith and his extensive track record of sales experience within this opportune territory of the U.S. Smiths proven sales leadership will certainly be a great help as efforts are made to leverage the Transamerica brand and continue to grow distribution within this burgeoning marketplace. Shawn Smith is currently located in Trabuco Canyon, California.
