Andy Albright: CEO has instinct for trends, and plans to quickly take his firm to the top

You may never have heard of Andy Albright, but if you've ever bought a home, taken out an equity line of credit or refinanced a mortgage, chances are you've heard from him.
Some might consider his message -- delivered most often via direct mail -- to be a bit of a downer for a joyous new homeowner hanging drapes and arranging furniture: What will happen to your family if you die?
Albright, his staff of 140 people and the thousands of independent insurance agents across the country who are members of the rapidly growing National Agents Alliance he heads, ask that question thousands of times a day in their pitch for a product called "mortgage protection insurance."
Not to be confused with the "private mortgage insurance" that protects a lender from default by the borrower, mortgage protection insurance is a traditional life insurance policy that pays off to satisfy a mortgage debt in the event the borrower dies. That way, the surviving family doesn't have to worry about continuing the mortgage payments. Some policies also pay out in the event of disability or other calamity.
Albright's National Agents Alliance markets the policies on behalf of insurance carriers and independent agents through its nationwide network. The primary vehicle is the more than 1 million pieces of direct mail stuffed and sent out every week from the company's Burlington headquarters. Mail heads to 49 states to potential customers culled from public record searches and other sources.

I can't believe I just found this article. It's very informative and I would like to find out more information on how I can work for Andy Albright and National Agents Alliance.
I have benefitted both personally and professionally from being an agent for NAA. I have peace in my heart knowing that if I pass away my family is financially secure. Also, I reap the financial benefit that comes from providing this mortgage protection insurance to my clients. This is a huge win win!
Thank you Andy and NAA!
My sister had a representative of National Agents Alliance write a policy on her family... she loves it! She has told the rest of the family about her benefits of having the policy and it is a nice package. Interesting thing is the agent kept saying it had to fit her needs and her budget... I think that is why she is so happy! It did both.
This is a phenomenal article! My family has benefitted in a big way from the services from NAA. If I die, I have the peace of mind my wife and family will be financially secure indefineately. Secondly, NAA has been an amazing company to work with. NAA has world Class Leadership and system which has provided us with every advantage in building a strong business and protecting American families.
Thank you Andy and NAA!
WOW! This is an awesome article. This opportunity is the best I've ever found. The benefits and the protection that NAA provides is the best. My clients are the happiest ever after they know they have protection for their familes in an event of a tragedy and not only that I also have the peace of mind knowing that my wife has the same protection and benefits.
I've worked with National Agents Alliance for 6 years and know Andy Albright personally. NAA has always operated with the utmost integrity and with a deep sense of purpose and mission to protect American families from losing their homes in the event of a tragedy. I'm proud of my affiliation with Andy and NAA and look forward to many more years helping families together.
I am honored to have been given the opportunity to grow my agency with a group of people who are like minded, focused on good ethics, & constantly reaching for the highest form of nobility in this industry. I am constantly receiving gracious comments from the families that have been protected with the peace of mind that their most valued asset will not be lost due to a loss of a family member.
I have been so blessed as an agency leader with NAA to help secure the financial future for many families. I can't tell you the number of people who have hugged me with tears in their eyes thanking me for protecting their family from losing their home in the case of death or disability. Huge thanks to NAA and Andy Albright for this incredible opportunity!
For us as agents, helping others protect their family is a very rewarding experience. Especially when you have a daughter that thanks you for saving their house after her mom died. You then understand why we do what we do and why Andy Albright is so passionate about this business. Integrity and ethics are never spared at NAA. Awesome article and Andy Albright and NAA should be commended for the hundreds of families they have protected and the opportunities given to the agents across the US. Thanks Andy.
I counted a blessing, a privilege, and an honor to have had the
opportunity in becoming an agent with National Agents Alliance. I truly
and honestly first believe in what Andy Albright has done and is doing in
this great movement. Andy Albrigt is a man of vision, wisdom, strength,
conviction, passion, compassion and a man of integrity. This great
movement in moving forward in the direction of saving the american dream
and protecting the future of thousands of families and our agents is by
providing the up most protection for families in case of a sudden death,
dissability or even the lost of their employment. Through our strong
foundation of Servant Leadership, it has allowed NAA in serving families
from all walks of life in giving them comfort and peace of mind in
knowing that in the event of a death or dissability the home and their
family will be able to go on with their lives not ever being financially

This is absolutely an incredible article. Having found NAA and getting to know Andy along with the other owners has absolutely changed our lives. Not only are we leaving a legacy behind us in the event if something were to happend to us from a death or disablity but we are also gaining a wealth of wisdom in many areas. We are learning how to build a solid business and most importantly learning how to be a better husband and wife, father and mother, and friend. The principals taught in NAA should be taught all across America. This is a legacy I want to continue on. Thank you Andy and NAA.
I have never responded to a blog before! But this one hit my heart and soul because my husband Kirk and I know from personal experience what an awesome man Andy Albright is and what a tremendous company he and Barry Clarkson & Philip Hudgins are developing. They have taught us how to change ourselves and our lives so that now we are able to encourage and mentor our own down-line agents to truly make a difference in people's lives and to help families across America know how important it is to protect themselves & their families against unforeseen tragedies. Andy's and NAA's dedication to helping people grow into strong leaders is unsurpassed - and the NAA staff are simply wonderful! NAA is the best group of people we've ever worked with.

Wow can anyone say, BRAIN WASH??
Did each of these posters get paid $1K /ea to write this comments? The funny thing is one of the posters has left and complained of being broke and never made any money.
NAA is a sham, Andy Halfbright is a sham.
Their business is all simplified issue life insurance. This stuff is very expensive, and when they are approached by a real insurance agent and quoted a legitimate price for insurance they drop that old policy like a hot potato.
The only people who make money over the long term are the recruiting managers. They pay new agents 55% at issue and no renewals. The managers get any override up to 85 or 90% (30-35% for your hard work, then the next upline regional manger gets the overide up to 105% for your work. Does this sound like a pyramid? What is worse is that you have to pay them for all your leads, $20 each. That company has 4 very rich guys at the top, a few regioal agents, and several dozen managers who make some cash. Everyone else just spins their wheels making money for their upline.
Read between the lines folks
and if you want a real quote for life insurance go to the web and hav a licensed broker who can quote you 30 companies at once.
