OUR PHILOSOPHIES

The ADVISOR is our customer and the most important person in our business.

The ADVISOR is not someone to argue or match wits with.

ADVISORS are not dependent on us – we are dependent on them.

ADVISORS are people who bring us their business – it is our job to serve them.

ADVISORS are not an interruption of our work – they are the purpose of it.

ADVISORS are deserving of the most courteous, positive, and attentive treatment we can give them.

ADVISORS do us a favor when they call – we are not doing a favor by serving them.

When the ADVISOR asks questions, the only correct response when you do not know the answer is: “I do not know, but I will find out for you,” then follow through!

ADVISORS are not cold statistics – they are flesh-and-blood human beings with feeling and emotions like our own.

The ADVISOR is the life-blood of this agency, and every one of our competitors’ agencies.
