Thank you program – NEW
Beginning in November, Transamerica will begin sending emails to producers after they pay their first Transamerica case within a 12-month period. The first of three emails will thank them for their business and invite them to take a short Net Promoter Score Survey. The survey measures how likely the producer is to recommend Transamerica to friends and colleagues. Two subsequent emails will tell them about Transamerica’s iPad app and Advanced Marketing resources. View a pdf of the first three emails. A monthly report of producers who have received the emails is available upon request by sending an email to Tom.Sweet@transamerica.com. The goal is to thank producers on behalf of their GAs and inform them of some of the tools and services that can help them grow their businesses.
