When Elvis Presley burst onto the music scene he instantly changed music history forever. While his music had a distinctive style that proved to be wildly popular, what many don’t know is that his musical success was, in part, driven by some of the best business principles ever studied. NAIFA Tennessee’s Brian Barrach, in his presentation Elvis and Me: From Graceland to the Top of the Table, will share the secrets of his E. L. V. I. S. method of selling and some of the sales ideas that earned him MDRT Top of The Table status, multiple company awards and helped countless financial professionals to significantly increase their sales and income. This is your opportunity to learn from an industry superstar and who knows, maybe you’ll be the next rising star!

Brian earned Transamerica’s “Shooting Star Award” the first year he was licensed. This was the beginning of numerous awards Brian would earn in his career including MDRT Top of the Table and Regional Marketing Director of the Year – Silver Award with Penn Mutual. Brian served as NAIFA Memphis / West TN President in 1998 – 1999 where he was presented the Jack E. Bobo 5 Star Award for Chapter Excellence. Four years later Brian served NAIFA Tennessee as State President in 2002 – 2003 and currently serves both NAIFA Memphis / West Tennessee and NAIFA Tennessee as Treasurer.
