Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
Since 1978.
What is your primary product or service?
Most forms of personal and business insurance including auto, home, business, life, health, disability, annuity and retirement services and products
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
My neighbor was an insurance agent. He was an excellent father and his family was a great group of people. My uncle was an insurance agent and owned his own agency. My dad was in business for himself and owned his own auto repair shop and gas station. I wanted to be a business of my own where I would be trusted by people to help as a trusted advisor and help protect important things and insurance is such a product.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
I make it a point to remember my clients and to know what is important to them as much as they permit me to do so. This isn't just my job, it is my life, and I enjoy the trust and confidence people place in me.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
One location. I own my office facility and am expanding the client base. A fixed location in insurance is for my convenience. I'll travel to the client when it is important and necessary to do so.
