Ceylinco Life has once again emerged with flying colours in salesmanship, with five of the company’s sales personnel winning awards at the 2017 National Sales Congress (NASCO) Awards presented by the Sri Lanka Institute of Marketing (SLIM).

The haul of awards won by Sri Lanka’s market-leading life insurer included two awards in the ‘Frontliner’ category and awards in the Sales Executive category and Territory Manager category, all in the life insurance sector.

The winners from Ceylinco Life at this year’s awards were Ms N. L. Fernando who won the Gold award in the ‘Frontliner’ category in the Life Insurance sector; Ms K. S. Priyanthi who won the Silver award in the same category; Ms T. C. G. Rajapaksha who won the Bronze award in the Sales Executive Category in the Life Insurance sector; Mr S. Dharshan who won the Silver award in the Territory Manager Category in the Life Insurance sector and Mr R. A. D. U. Kumara who won the Bronze award in the same category.

Ceylinco Life’s Managing Director Mr R. Renganathan was the chief guest at the 2017 awards ceremony. In his address he emphasised the importance of identifying customers and selling strategically. “At Ceylinco Life, for example, we place great emphasis on the importance of a needs analysis before we develop a policy proposal for a customer, because we know that a business relationship can only be sustained if the product satisfies the needs of the customer,” Mr Renganathan said.
