Wagley Sees Distributors as Key to Insurance Firm Growth TRANSAMERICA Occidental Life Insurance Co. became part of a huge and complex insurance empire when it was purchased last year for $9.7 billion by Dutch industry giant AEGON. But AEGON's mandate to Ron Wagley, the new president of the life insurance division in Los Angeles, is quite simple: expand. Wagley plans to do that by boosting support for the independent distributors who now handle Transamerica products, along with a number of other competing coverage plans. "My days are focused on getting the infrastructure in gear," Wagley said. As part of his strategy, Wagley intends to allocate more personnel, including estate planners, to Transamerica's network of marketing centers around the country. He sees the deployment as a way to better serve distributors and thereby encourage them to develop a stronger preference for selling the company's insurance products. Wagley also intends to continue an ongoing effort to expand technology used in the communications process. He said distributors already use the Internet to access status reports and compliance information from secured accounts at the company Web site. Wagley wants to offer even more information electronically. "People want information, and they want it quick," Wagley said. 'We're committed to getting close to our distributors. We want to make it easy to do business with us." Wagley isn't planning any dramatic changes in the longstanding strategy of targeting mostly affluent, over-50 consumers for insurance and estate planning services. "We haven't really changed our marketing approach," he said. Wagley was most recently senior vice president and chief agency officer for Transamerica Occidental Life. He is a chartered life underwriter and financial consultant. Wagley managed Transamerica's distribution system of 50,000 independent producers and 400 general agents for seven years before being promoted to president. -- Jennifer Smith |
