Client Services
As a local brokerage firm, we believe in hands-on support, education and communication. Our account managers have a combined 28 years of experience in the insurance industry. We believe in communication when working on tasks. If an issue comes to our account managers, the issue is acknowledged with a timeline of the estimated completion and step by step communication. Brokers meet with account managers on a regular basis to discuss workflow and activity. Productivity is measured on an ongoing basis. Service activities are also documented in our Account Management System. This system allows us to view all service activities and time spent in certain areas. Our system has reporting capabilities that can be sent to the client.
