WALNUT CREEK, CA--(Marketwire - Jan 30, 2012) - The San Francisco Bay Area Agency, a local office of the MassMutual Financial Group, today announced that Tony Delumen, 34, and an eighth-year agent, has qualified for the prestigious MassMutual Chairman's Club for 2012, an honor bestowed to the top 10 career agents annually, from among 5300 agents around the US.
The Chairman's Club recipients are the top 10 annual producers of the entire MassMutual pool of more than 5300 agents and are considered the pinnacle of MassMutual's sales force. The honor recognizes the individuals who have achieved the highest levels of all-around sales and performance during the previous year.
"This is an incredible distinction for Tony, who has been an outstanding member of our team since he joined the Agency," said Robert Fakhimi, General Agent of the San Francisco Bay Area Insurance Agency. "He is continually attaining the highest levels of achievement in the company by delivering extraordinary service to his clients. This latest honor is a testament to Tony's diligence, hard work and supreme skills in the field."
Other achievements by Delumen include both the title of 2009 Top Premium Producer and Top Annuity Producer over the more than 5000 MassMutual career agents in the company's 84 national offices. He also earned the prestigious Freshman 5 award for his performance during his first year as an agent, given to only five MassMutual first-year agents nationally each year. Plus he was named Agent of the Year four years in a row in the local office.
Delumen's latest award continues the top achievements of the overall SF Bay Area Insurance Agency. In the last seven years, this firm, with Fakhimi as general agent, has developed six Freshman 5 award honorees. In addition, the Agency has been honored with the MassMutual Chairman's Trophy for performance eight times in the last nine years. The award is a reflection of an agency's accomplishments in revenue growth, recruitment and productivity.
