Leading the Summer Sales Contest in the Northeast for 2nd Consecutive Year
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE via COLLEGIATE PRESSWIRE)--Nov. 14, 2000--New York Life Insurance Company announced today that Christy Barilotti, a senior at Ursinus College in Collegeville, Pennsylvania, is the winner of the company`s College Internship Summer Contest for the Northeastern Zone for the second consecutive year. The winner was selected based on the highest number of submitted life insurance applications for the period between June 1 and August 31, 2000.
New York Life`s Internship Program attracted some 300 students from across the country this year. Interns obtain the skills they need to become successful agents through regular one-on-one contact with agent mentors, the active involvement of NYL training managers and careful supervision from NYL management. During the program, students are able to obtain their agent license and begin working with clients.
''We at New York Life are pleased to be training these extraordinary young people to learn what it takes to be a life insurance agent,'' said Jane Conti, assistant vice president in charge of the internship program. ''It is encouraging to have Christy as our leading agent intern in the Northeastern Zone. Her accomplishments are an inspiration to other women beginning their careers in insurance.''
''Building on my success from last year, I continued to use what I learned from New York Life`s managers and coaches, as well as putting to use my newly acquired skills,'' said Christy Barilotti. ''My two years with the internship program have given me unsurpassed abilities and confidence. I would like to acknowledge my manager and the partner of the office, Rob Karalius, for giving me the assistance I needed to perform at my highest potential.''
A celebratory luncheon and award presentation will be held today at the William Penn Inn in Gwynedd, Pennsylvania at 12 p.m. If you are interested in attending this event, please contact Jane Conti at (212) 576-7525.
