Summary:your elevator speech

SUMMARY:I help people protect the assets they have worked a lifetime to

create. I am essentially self-employed as an insurance sales executive for SMG Insurance. We are an independent insurance agency representing over 30 companies and I have been with SMG since 1996. I specialize in business general liability, property, workers compensation and group health insurance.

Earning loyalty from clients is my primary objective because the foundation of my business is long term relationships. I am interested in people as business owners and individuals and I understand building loyalty and trust is a continual process and is not defined by a single transaction. My highest responsibility as an agent is advising my clients of the best avenues for protecting their assets.
