Speaking Testimonials

I’m a newcomer to OLLI and attended my first SIG group meeting last Friday. I have owned an LTC policy for several years and recall how I spent almost two years researching LTC policies before I purchased one. There was not a lot material available at that time, and I did a lot of reading, web searching and attending presentations by various organizations. My insurance agent was a general lines agent and certainly no help. I wanted to say that Betty Doll’s presentation last Friday was by far the best presentation of LTC I have experienced. It was very comprehensive, yet not overbearing in detail. The material on policy types and payment options were of particular use as they were not available to me several years ago. Betty herself was an excellent presenter, with professional level diction and delivery, and a natural rapport with the audience. I also found her handouts to be quite useful. In summary, this presentation was an ideal way to create an “awareness” of LTC for not only beginners, but for people like me who have been away from LTC developments for several years.  Thanks for setting up this presentation and I look forward to more meetings of the SIG group. ~Mike Sweeney

“Thanks for the great job you did speaking about Long Term Care Insurance to the attendees at the N.C. Association of Health Underwriters Symposium. You educated and entertained our group of 600 agents. Considering the varying degrees of knowledge about long term care insurance, you did a great job of weaving the fundamentals of this product into the broader perspective of long term care as a financial planning tool.” Mel Schlesinger

“A huge hit. People who attended the session raved about her so much that the second session was packed!” Jesse Slome, American Association for Long Term Care Insurance

“I finally understand long term care!” Joe Ellithorpe

“Having begun my career in 1975, I have had a multitude of instructors. You were one of the most articulate and interesting I have seen and you had the tough job of lecturing to most of the group who had no insurance background at all. Thanks for your expertise” Ric C

“I just entered my 13th year in the LTCI marketplace. You class not only re-energized me but based on the many comments I heard from my brokers, you really got through to these New Jersey Brokers! You not only re-energized me but you built a fire under them that has already created more activity for our firm. Your presentation, patience and professional approach truly indicate your command of the product and your dedication to our industry. We look forward to having you speak to our group again in the fall.” Albert Shikiar, President, AccessCare, Livingston, NJ
