SLIM empowers Union Assurance staff with Certificate in Professional Selling

23 Jul 2019

In the latest of its educational and training collaborations with the corporate sector, the Sri Lanka Institute of Marketing (SLIM) will offer a scholarship to the top performing insurance agents of Union Assurance (UA). This scholarship will provide the high achievers of the Union Assurance bancassurance team with an opportunity to follow a customised Certificate in Professional Selling (CPS) programme, fully sponsored by the company. The signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between SLIM and Union Assurance PLC took place recently at Taj Samudra, Colombo. The Certificate in Professional Selling (CPS) is designed to provide a vital professional qualification for sales teams and enable them to achieve success in today’s ultra-competitive marketplace, whilst helping them grow, both as individuals and professionals. In addition to being tailor-made to meet the requirements of UA, the programme will consist of industry examples by a highly knowledgeable and qualified panel of lecturers. In addition, to offer the utmost benefit and convenience to Union Assurance through these scholarships, SLIM will include exams, a log book, assignments, and integrate the individual company KPIs along with the attendance. SLIM President Suranjith Swaris touched on the reasons that SLIM entered into this partnership: “As the national body of marketing, it is our responsibility to enrich Sri Lanka with marketing education. The corporate programmes of SLIM have earned the confidence of the sector as they have been proven to effectively contribute towards enhancing the performance of employees. Furthermore, from an individual perspective, the education pathway created by the Certificate in Professional Selling could take any sales person to the top of their careers, thereby contributing to the revenue growth of their employer. This partnership too will be a part of our grand vision of contributing to the expansion of the economy and the development of the nation through marketing.” Speaking on behalf of Union Assurance, Director/CEO Dirk Pereira stated: “For a rapidly growing company such as ours, providing necessary education and training to our staff is a priority. We are confident that the programme we have jointly developed with SLIM will significantly enhance our employees’ capabilities and help us achieve our business objectives.” SLIM CEO/Executive Director Sanath Senanayake spoke about the corporate educational partnerships of SLIM: “This is the latest in a series of partnership agreements that SLIM has entered into with top corporate entities over the years. As with all previous partnerships, I am confident that this too will lead to a significant enhancement of staff capabilities at Union Assurance, which will ultimately drive the growth of the company.” A total of 30 students from Union Assurance PLC’s bancassurance team have been enrolled in the programme and classes are scheduled to be held once a month.
