people. As he says and as every SGA knows, “You don’t win this by yourself.”

Dustin has never lost sight of where he came from and is intensely loyal to the Al-tig-Orlovic organization, his original SGA office, again directing praise and thanks for the encouragement and advice they continue to provide. It speaks volumes that part of his mission is to “spread the Platinum Rule” that A-O is based on. Dustin would tell you that excellence comes from excellence. Be sure to read his story on page 20.

This issue of Spotlight is full of excellence. In addition to recognizing Dustin’s achieve-ment, we announce the 2018 Executive Coun-cil, which just held its first meeting in March in the Napa wine region of California. We congratulate our Council members, including Dustin, for being selected as part of this elite group of SGAs (see page 16).

Also in this issue, we showcase the 3rd an-nual TMK Award winners who were honored in Dallas in March. Congratulations to Ransey Vazquez of the Bob Olson SGA office for his second win as the #1 recruiter among the Torchmark affiliate companies (see page 18).

But we’re not done yet! On page 14 of this issue, we introduce a new feature called The Business Athlete where contributing authors talk about how they relate sports or their fa-vorite sports hero to our business. If you iden-tify with the passion, determination, hard work and persistence of an athlete or a sport in general, you are invited to submit your story.

Please join me in congratulating Dustin, our Council members and TMK Award win-ners. Join me in celebrating excellence!

IT’S NOT TRUE THAT NICE GUYS FIN-ISH LAST. NICE GUYS ARE WINNERS BEFORE THE GAME EVEN STARTS. — ADDISON WALKER

EVERY INDUSTRY HAS ITS STEREO-types. Doctors have bad handwriting. Engineers are nerdy and wear pock-

et protectors. Car salesmen are … well, you know. And our industry? Remember Ned Ry-erson, the badly dressed 1950’s throwback in-surance guy from the movie Groundhog Day? You’d be surprised how many people (not in the insurance biz themselves, of course) still hold onto an outdated cliché of our business and our people.

While I’d agree that certain traits or char-acteristics are common among insurance professionals, there’s not really a certain ‘type’ person who finds success at AIL/NILICO. Look around you. Our people are the poster kids for diversity. We have folks of about every age, color, ethnicity, culture, religion, etc. there is. Among those who are successful, traits like resilience, reliability, passion, empathy, open-ness, sincerity, perceptiveness, discipline, the

ability to communicate clearly, and varying de-grees of money motivation are common. But the ‘wrappers’ (personalities) containing those traits are as different as night and day.

And that brings me to our 2017 SGA of the Year, Dustin Venekamp, who defies the pre-conceived notions of what SGA of the Year sig-nifies … on the outside. I’d describe Dustin as being quiet and reserved. Let’s just say that in general, our SGA body is not known for being quiet or reserved. But don’t mistake Dustin’s quiet nature for weakness; he possesses a si-lent, inner strength that serves him well.

Like every SGA of the Year before him, Dustin takes what we do very seriously. He is a strong, accomplished and effective leader who is quick to deflect attention away from him-self in the direction of his team. In fact, every chance he gets, he will steer the conversation toward the gratitude and pride he has for his

Jason BeckmanVice President of Public Relations Field Operations

Update

NAPA, CAWhile AIL/NILICO’s 2018 Executive Council members discussed important matters at the Spring meeting on Tuesday, March 20, their guests volunteered at the Community Action of Napa Valley’s (CAN-V) food storage warehouse. The volunteers sorted food donations for CAN-V’s Food Bank Program, which provides a variety of nutritious food to low-income individuals, families, seniors and non-profit organizations throughout Napa County. Low-income residents receive an allotment of food every 30 days. Allotments are based on household size and consist of meat, dairy, produce and dry and canned food items. Meeting attendees donated $10,975 to help fund the Food Bank Program.

WHEN I FIRST VISITED DUSTIN Venekamp after his promotion to SGA of Arizona and New Mexico,

the first characteristic I noticed about him was that he is a selfless and servant leader. He proved my initial impression to be right as he always made himself available to our Public Relations team and would work alongside us in pursuit of retaining, existing and building new relationships.

Fast forward to today and I couldn’t be more pleased for Dustin and his Agency to be named SGA of the Year! In reflection of my visits to the offices, the acronym “PFC” stands out most to me. I recall the first time hearing

Dustin say that his agency will be “People First Champions” and that the culture they will adopt is one that always does right by the peo-ple they impact whether it be a new associate seeking Opportunity Unlimited, or members of the groups that we serve.

It’s clear to me that Dustin’s culture within his Agency embodies the culture of American Income and National Income Life and our Public Relations team. Not only does Pub-lic Relations generate third-party endorsed leads, but we show up to support members when they are in need during troubling times. We show up at strikes regardless of day, time and weather to support our Union brothers and sisters. We are there for our groups when members have fallen on hard times and are in need of food. The most difficult, yet most satisfying part of our position, is when we de-liver an AD&D claim check to the group and/or family as we see first-hand the impact that we have made on the family. Unfortunately though, one of the common phrases we hear

upon delivery of the claim is, “This will help the family so much as they weren’t financially prepared for this tragedy.”

From the policies we sell to the public policies AIL/NILICO supports at the local, state, national and provincial levels, we, work-ing together with the agency, are the “People First Champions” working families need in today’s business and political climate. Being “PFC” isn’t about showing up and going the extra mile when it’s convenient; it’s about be-ing the “go-to person” for our groups – we are everywhere! Equally together, we are the “go-to person” for our members when something happens to someone in the family and a claim needs to be processed and paid. The mark that we can leave on each family is indelible as it can change the life course and financial out-come of surviving family members.

Dustin, congratulations to you, your fam-ily and your Agency on this well-deserved recognition from the Company for being the “People First Champions” all of you are!

“IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE IN YOURSELF WHY IS ANYONE ELSE GOING TO BELIEVE IN YOU?” –TOM BRADY

“A LOT OF TIMES I FIND

THAT PEOPLE WHO ARE BLESSED

WITH THE MOST TALENT DON’T EVER DEVELOP THAT ATTITUDE, AND

THE ONES WHO AREN’T BLESSED IN THAT

WAY ARE THE MOST COMPETITIVE

AND HAVE THE BIGGEST

HEART.” –TOM BRADY

TO BE THE BEST, YOU HAVE TO TRAIN BETTER THAN THE BEST.

We see the best athletes perform game by game. What we don’t see is the time, effort and dedication that take place behind the scenes. The same holds true for the best leaders and agents at AIL/NILICO.

I use New England Patriots quarterback TOM BRADY to illustrate my point because he’s the athlete I can most paral-lel my life and career against.

At the NFL combine in 2000, this is what they said about Tom Brady: “Poor build, skinny, lacks great physical stature and strength, lacks mobility and ability to avoid the rush, lacks a really strong arm, can’t drive the ball downfield, does not throw a really tight spiral, system-type player who can get exposed if forced to ad lib, gets knocked down easily.”

When I came to AIL in 1999, I was shy, not really outgo-ing, petrified to speak in front of groups, and a 20% closer.

Brady was picked 199th in the draft and the sixth quar-terback selected. Having to hear the reasons why was moti-vation enough for him to prove every other team made the greatest mistake in their team’s history by not picking him.

My vision and goals for my career at AIL were CRYSTAL CLEAR. I had some rough times in my life from the time I graduated college to about the year before I came to this great company. My vision and my desire to never go back to

some of those previous places became my justification for doing the things I least like to do.

NOT ACHIEVING MY GOALS, NOT BEING SUCCESSFUL, WASN’T AN OPTION. I improved every month by doing more than everyone else and forcing myself to do the uncomfortable. It was simply being relentlessly dedicated to doing all things that made me successful when no one was watching.

Being a great BUSINESS ATHLETE starts with developing an affinity for the process. You don’t have to love the process, but’s it’s critical — fall in love with the results. Develop a crystal clear vision for your life; never be satisfied.

WE ARE ALL CAPABLE OF PERFORMING BETTER AND ACHIEVING GREATNESS.

The competition is with yourself...becoming the very best version of YOU!

New England Patriots QB

Domenico BertiniExecutive Vice President AIL & NILICO

IN SALES, LIFE MOVES FASTER THAN ever. New companies and new products are constantly showing up making ours a race

to the finish. To ensure our success, we need to spend time selling when we are selling, and not confusing it with time spent on trial and error. Therefore, there are a few things we need to do to become successful from the beginning:

First thing is we need to have clarity; clari-ty about ourselves, who we are, what do we do best and our goals. The clarity about our busi-ness — who needs what we do, how to best ap-proach our clients, how much are they willing to pay — is provided to us through training in the office and in the field. But without personal clarity, there’s no training in the world that will make you successful.

To deliver what the customer needs, we must always assume that if we give them what they need, there will never be a problem clos-ing the sale. Affordability comes after need.

The biggest complaint from insurance cus-tomers is that they never hear from their agent again after the sale is made. To be the best, you must then create and maintain favorable atten-tion. Get referrals to help your prospect share the benefits with someone close to them (they love that) and at the same time, be diligent in the follow-through after the sale. Call within 48 hours to reassure all is well with the applica-tion, deliver the policy, send a thank you note and wish them a Happy Birthday. Delighted customers will always be repeat customers.

Realize, if you are with this great company of ours, you are considered a leader, whether in sales or in a team-building position. The company looks to you for direction and sup-ports your efforts. But leaders always take the responsibility and not the credit. When things go wrong, don’t look for excuses; instead as-sume responsibility and look for the cause. Find the solution and move on. When you learn to say, “How did I let it happen?” instead of “How did that happen?” you have become the person who “makes things happen” instead of “watching things happen” or worse yet, the one who says, “What happened?”

Keep working on the basics. Even if you are the best, there’s still room for improvement. Identify your weaknesses and make yourself

do the things you don’t want to do. The road to perfection is never ending.

Now, break your career into specific goals, such as:

1. Learn how to be the best at the sales process2. Move on to train others to be like you3. Raise to supervise the supervisor4. Become a leader5. Elevate to be the leader of leaders6. Own a territory

All of this can easily be achieved if you have clarity about what it is you want and a timeline to go get it.

Ha, TIME!To a great extent, the quality of your life

will be determined by with whom and how you elect to spend your time. If your goals are such to improve the quality of your life, then time spent in achieving them will consequent-ly give you the life you’ve always imagined. Re-member that just one hour a day used more productively adds up to more than six extra weeks of productive time a year. Be patient.

A hurried mind cannot see clearly or hear precisely, and it will miss much. If you proper-ly manage your time, then time itself will be-come your ally, and with a clear mind, you will recognize the moment for action and make the right moves.

THE ROAD T O P E R F E C T I O N IS NEVER ENDINGTHE ROAD T O P E R F E C T I O N IS NEVER ENDINGTHE ROAD T O P E R F E C T I O N IS NEVER ENDING

TORCHMARKACHIEVEMENT AWARDSOnce again, Torchmark Headquarters in McKinney rolled out the red carpet to honor the winners of the 3rd Annual Torchmark Achievement from American Income, Family Heritage and Liberty National. The rainy day did not dampen the spirits of the award winners and their guests or the enthusiastic crowd of well-wishers who greeted them on the Home Office tour.

Winners were accommodated in style at the Ritz-Carlton in downtown Dallas. In addition to cash awards and the beautiful art crystal award, winners and their guests received an afternoon of

pampering at the Ritz spa before the evening gala and awards show.

It could be YOU in 2019!

You don’t win this by yourself.

Had life taken a different turn, Dustin Venekamp might be living a different dream under Friday night lights, coaching high school or college football rather than being recognized as our SGA of the Year for 2017. After college, Dustin wanted to follow in the footsteps of his coach and mentor, but thankfully for AIL/NILICO, his coach’s footsteps took him to the insurance business, and trusting his mentor, Dustin did the same.

Dustin joined American Income and the Altig organization in 2002. At the top of his list of mentors is Ilija Orlovic. Dustin moved 14 times in 15 years as he and his team opened new start-up offices in Utah, Wyoming, Nevada and California, to name a few. In 2006, Dustin had the honor of being made a Partner SGA with Rick and Ilija.

In 2015, Dustin was offered an opportunity to help AIL by becoming an SGA in the Arizona, New Mexico and Texas territories but was debating whether or not to make yet another move. Staying put in the current situation would have been the easy thing to do. “Anything I do selfishly doesn’t work out,” he says. “I knew I had to do it for the right reasons: to help people and spread the Platinum Rule.” After consulting with his wife Holly and mentors, they packed up the family and hit the road again on a mission to serve others.

When Dustin assumed leadership of the territory, it was in a state of upheaval, but with the help of the Altig-Orlovic family, they set out to change the culture. How did he do it? Dustin empowered team members who were committed to being a People First organization. “We were and still are on a mission to make a difference, to serve people, to mold tomorrow’s leadership team and help them to become better people. It’s our duty to help as many people as we can,” he says. The mission was clear. Make a positive difference in others and find a way to win through impacting families. The team ended up winning Category IV in the first year.

Like all great leaders, Dustin is quick to redirect accolades to his team. “You don’t win this by yourself. It takes a village to raise agencies,” he says. Dustin’s core team of leaders includes Dustin Dunbar, Eugene Garcia, Carlos Arballo and David Carpenter. “Of course, none of this would be possible without my mentors Rick, Ilija, Rob Hay, James Hill and the whole Altig-Orlovic family as well as our PR folks, Malka Arony and Jason Beckman.”

In an interview for an insurance position early in his career, Dustin was turned down for “being too nice.” The interviewer told him to go out and “let the world beat you up a little, then come back.” Instead, Dustin set out to prove he could be successful by being nice. He has proved his point well.

Congratulations to Dustin and the entire Venekamp team.

Congratulations, Dustin, on your amazing accomplishment. Great things happen to great people, especially to those who work as hard and care as much as you do. I am so proud of you and you know Ilija and I may have created the Platinum Rule, but you live it every single day! It’s an honor to watch your legacy grow within your beautiful family, your community and your organization. You are an inspiration to everyone you meet and I know the best is yet to come. — R I C K A LT I G

Congratulations, Dustin, on this great achievement of earning SGA of the Year! It’s been great seeing your ALP climb throughout your career. You are at the peak level in your career right now and I look forward to watching you continue to reach new heights going forward. — M I C A H C O H E N

Congratulations, Dustin! Doesn’t seem that long ago when we were dominating dodgeball or drinking wine in the caves back at Altig! You’re an amazing leader who lives by the Platinum Rule of doing MORE for others! What an amazing year and looking forward to many more! — Z A C H H A R T

I can’t think of a more deserving person for this award. You always put your family and the people you serve first. Your success in this business has been inspiring to watch. I know the best days are ahead of you and I look forward to being part of them as you continue to make a difference and change so many people’s lives. Congratulations! — R O B H AY

There could not be a more deserving — or nicer — SGA to win this prestigious award. Congratulations, Dustin, on a tremendous job. — D U R H O N O L D H A M

Dustin’s passion for people and making their dreams come true is the ultimate testament to his leadership. His exponential growth in this last year is just the beginning. Everyone wants to be on Dustin’s team because of the great leader, friend, husband, father, and person that he is. Congratulations, Dustin! — J A M E S H I L L

Having the privilege to work with Dustin for the last few years and watching the transformation of the agency from where it was to where he has taken it has just been amazing. Dustin is a true leader who leads by example and inspires his team every day by not only preaching the Platinum Rule, but by living it. He has worked relentlessly to build an organization and develop a culture built on the pursuit of excellence while always maintaining the belief and philosophy of putting others first. Congratulations to Dustin, his Agency team and his family! No doubt this is just the tip of the iceberg and there is much more to come. — M U R R AY H O R O W I T Z

I vividly remember the very first time I met you back when you were 23 years young in South Dakota. Even then, your passion and emotional investment in people were incredible. This award comes as no surprise – the personal & professional growth you’ve accomplished since is spectacular; it’s everything I knew you would do. Throughout your career and life, you’ve led with integrity & character and I can only imagine how proud your family and Willis are. Congratulations on your achievement – it’s just the beginning for you! I’m proud to be your friend. — I L I J A O R LO V I C

Congratulations, Dustin! You are a true visionary and a great leader. Well deserved. — K Y L E J O H N S O N

Congratulations, Dustin, on this tremendous achievement! Being SGA of the Year is simply a by-product of being an outstanding leader. All the best! — B Y R O N PA Z

Dustin is a true competitor brought up under amazing mentors. It was a race to the finish this year and Dustin finished on top. So, a hearty congratulations to you and your team for your achievements in 2017. Looking forward to working with you in the coming years at AIL. — J I M S U R A C E

Dustin truly exemplifies servant leadership. — M AT T H E N D E R S O N

In my 12+ years with American Income Life I’ve had the pleasure of meeting many great SGAs and what struck me about Dustin was his genuine care and compassion for people. From the moment I met him, I knew that I was going to be better off in my life to be able to call him a friend. It is no surprise to me that Dustin has been able to accomplish the remarkable achievements for which he is being recognized as the SGA of the Year. He embodies all of the great qualities someone would want in a leader with a humility that is second to none. Thank you, Dustin, for doing what you do, setting the bar, and helping to raise the esteem of this great company through your exemplary leadership and commitment to putting people first. Congratulations to you and your team. While it’s your first time to be recognized with this award, I’m positive it won’t be your last. — M I K E VA S U

ALL OUR DREAMS CAN COME TRUE, IF WE HAVE THE COURAGE TO PUR-SUE THEM. — WALT DISNEY

OFTEN WHEN WE REFER TO SOME-one as a “dreamer,” it’s not as much a compliment as it is a criticism. We

often think of dreamers as people with their heads up in the clouds who need to come back down to earth, who need to grow up and take a more reasonable approach to life.

But when you look at the most successful people, I’d say every one of them probably would call him or herself a dreamer, and with pride. It’s only because they had such grandi-ose dreams in the first place that they live the lives they do. And it’s only because they had the “courage to pursue them,” as Disney so wisely said, that they can count themselves among the most successful.

Our SGA of the Year, Dustin Venekamp, is definitely a dreamer. “Think big and build big,”

he says, and that’s great advice. Think it, dream it, see it, and then set to work on it. Dustin dreamed of his Agency office’s fantastic suc-cess, and then worked hard to make it happen.

So I want you to ask yourselves, what are your dreams? What do you want to become? What do you hope to accomplish? When you were a kid, it probably had something to do with growing up to be an astronaut, royalty, a great athlete, or a famous movie star. Your dreams as an adult have probably changed a little, but I think there’s still a common theme among them: success.

The great thing about AIL/NILICO is that you actually have the opportunity to find that success. Here you can choose to increase pro-duction, build your leadership skills, or ad-vance your career. If you dream of breaking production records, go for it! If you dream of building a strong team, take charge! And if you dream of being an SGA, or even SGA of the Year, then I encourage you to pursue that dream with everything you have. Because that’s the key – it’s one thing to dream about doing something great, but it’s quite another to make that dream a reality.

That’s where courage, determination, and an unrelenting attitude come into play. When you decide to make your dreams come true, it takes time and some serious effort. Pursu-ing your dreams is not for the faint of heart!

The road to success is not an easy one, but it’s one that’s worth trekking because of the amaz-ing destination.

I hope that all of us can make that com-mitment to turn our dreams into goals, and then into accomplishments. 2018 is our year to shine, because in 2018, Here We Come to show the world what we’re made of.

Congratulations to Dustin Venekamp and his incredible team, and to the TMK Award winners – and don’t forget to keep on pursuing those dreams.
