The Czech Republic now has a representative in the international organisation "Million Dollar Round Table" (MDRT), an association of financial professionals from around the globe. Marcel Friček, an insurance consultant at Aviva životní pojišťovna, has become the first ever Czech financial consultant to satisfy the demanding requirements and become a member of the MDRT.
"Becoming a member of the Million Dollar Round Table is, on the one hand, recognition of my work so far, but at the same time it is also a huge commitment for the future," says Aviva's Marcel Friček. "The secret behind my success has been to work hard every day: telephoning, arranging meetings, getting to those meetings prepared and on time and setting up policies," he adds.
The MDRT was created in Memphis, Tennessee in 1927. This prestigious organisation currently boasts a membership of 35,662 financial professionals from around the world, representing a total of 481 companies. The tough requirements with respect to professional knowledge, ethical conduct and in particular client service help to ensure the personal success and advancement of the members of the MDRT and also the success of their clients.
"We are absolutely delighted that a representative of Aviva should be the first Czech to gain a seat on the Million Dollar Round Table. We would like to congratulate Mr Friček and thank him for being such an outstanding ambassador for our company," was the reaction from Karel Veselý, commercial director at Aviva životní pojišťovna.
