First Financial Security, Inc.’s annual JumpStart 2016 kicks off a yearlong celebration of 10 years of business success for the Atlanta-based financial services provider. The event, scheduled for Feb. 5-6, 2016, at the Atlanta Airport Marriott Hotel, is the first of many that will recognize the organization for being an unstoppable force for positive change in the financial services industry.
In fact, “Unstoppable” has been selected as the theme for the upcoming JumpStart event. During the past 12 months, First Financial Security has experienced great momentum in many areas of the business, filled key executive positions in the home office, and implemented programs and strategies that will allow it to realize its goal to change the face of insurance.
Phil Gericher
Someone looking at First Financial Security, Inc. 10 years ago may not have seen such a bright future for the organization, but Co-CEO Phil Gerlicher did. It was the powerful potential FFS offered that first attracted the successful entrepreneur when he was approached to become involved with the company.
With more than 30 years in financial services and insurance, Phil knew that one of the most serious challenges facing the industry was its inability to bring new people into the business. It would take an exciting value proposition, innovative products and an entrepreneurial-based business system to attract newcomers to the industry. Phil knew that First Financial Security offered all three.
Debbie Gerlicher
For a decade, Phil, his wife and Co-CEO Debbie, First Financial Security President Meg Jones, the FFS Executive Team, and FFS field leadership have nurtured and grown the company into the successful organization it is today. It is this deep desire to provide all people with the opportunity to get a solid financial education and the chance to build an entrepreneurial business within the FFS business that has sustained the organization through the difficult times and spurred it on toward the better ones to come.
The JumpStart 2016 event will provide a forum for outlining the plans to move forward First Financial Security, Inc.’s goal to change the face of insurance through inclusivity, innovation, leadership and an entrepreneurial opportunity. The event also provides attendees with a first look at the direction, program and services, and materials that will roll out in the coming months.
Preregistration is one of the best ways to ensure that First Financial Security leaders and their teams have a prime spot to experience all the excitement of JumpStart 2016. To register for the event and reserve a hotel room, go to www. ffs-leaders.com today.

“Unstoppable” Selected as Theme for Financial Services Provider Opening Event of New Year
Momentum is on First Financial Security, Inc.’s side. During the past 12 months, the Atlanta-headquartered financial services company has seen measurable growth in its business categories. The organization has debuted new marketing, branding and messaging strategies. And, as FFS begins its second decade of successful operations, it has embarked on an ambitious and noble cause to bring financial education, empowerment and entrepreneurial opportunities to all people.
The Unstoppable theme is actually an extension from the previous year’s event – “Inevitable.” The 2015 JumpStart event explored the ways that the organization had positioned itself to achieve “inevitable” success. In addition to the accomplishments outlined above, First Financial Security has filled key executive positions in the home office, made good on its commitment to innovate on all levels, and put into place programs that would not only invigorate the company, but would allow it to realize its goal to change the face of insurance.
As First Financial Security, Inc. celebrates its 10th successful year of operations in 2016, the organization continues to be an unstoppable force for positive change in the financial services industry. The JumpStart 2016 event will set the tone for the year ahead, providing First Financial Security representatives with a first look at the direction, programs and services, and materials that will roll out in the coming months.
