Sales leaders of HNB Assurance who successfully completed the Certified Sales Manager Program

HNB Assurance recently celebrated the successful completion of the Certified Sales Manager Program, conducted in collaboration with the Sri Lanka Institute of Marketing (SLIM), marking a significant milestone in the professional development of its sales leadership team.

Initiated for the sales management of the Partnership Channel of HNB Assurance, this program stands as the first initiative of its kind within the insurance industry, where Sales Managers were formally certified under a structured professional framework designed to enhance leadership, strategic thinking, and advanced sales capabilities.

The initiative reflects HNB Assurance’s ongoing commitment to investing in its people by equipping them with globally recognised knowledge and professional credentials that strengthen both individual growth and organisational excellence.

Chief Business Officer/General Manager Partnerships Sanesh Fernando said: “I congratulate all our sales managers who graduated from this program. It is no doubt that our sales leaders play a pivotal role in driving the growth and momentum of HNB Assurance and speaking about the Partnership Channel, we have been one of the fastest-growing channels in the country, recording an impressive 58% growth last year alone. Programs such as this reflect our commitment to building a highly competent and professionally certified sales force that leads with expertise and continues to set new benchmarks for the insurance industry.”

Head of Human Resources Navin Rupasinghe said: “At HNB Assurance, we strongly believe that our people are the driving force behind our success. Investing in structured learning and professional certification programs such as the Certified Sales Manager Program ensures that our leaders are empowered with the knowledge, skills, and confidence required to navigate an evolving industry landscape while continuing to deliver exceptional value to our customers. I would like to extend our sincere appreciation to the Sri Lanka Institute of Marketing for partnering with us in delivering this valuable program and supporting the professional development of our people.”
