AVON, Conn. -- Voluntary sales have shown consistent growth for the last few years. The rate of growth in 2007 for the industry was just under seven percent, and total new voluntary sales exceeded $5 billion ($5.038 billion). Twenty companies had growth rates that exceed the average. Each year, Eastbridge Consulting recognizes the companies that have led the industry in voluntary sales growth.

"This year, among small companies, HM Insurance, Texas Life, and Fort Dearborn Life were the fastest growing companies based on voluntary sales," says Gil Lowerre, president of Eastbridge. Texas Life and Fort Dearborn Life were on the growth leaders list in 2006 also. Earlier this month, Eastbridge announced the winners in the large company group.

"Eastbridge would like to congratulate all the Sales Growth Leader companies for a job well done," adds Lowerre.

All companies participating in Eastbridge's annual U.S. Worksite Sales Report are eligible to win the Sales Growth Leader recognition. To make the list for consideration, a company must have exceeded the growth rate of the industry as a whole for each of the last three years and then be in the top three in 2007 sales growth.

Parties interested in participating in next year's study should email Eastbridge at info@eastbridge.com. All participants receive a free copy of the complete findings, including company-specific results.
