I occasionally get asked why I left Country Financial, a company with name recognition, for Goosehead which few people have even heard of. Here's three (of many) reasons why:
🏅 Name recognition doesn't mean anything when people want to save money on something they're forced to buy. If I only represent A-rated carriers, who cares how big their marketing budget is?
💲 Having 25 options to choose from rather than 1 means I am significantly more likely to offer the best rate in the market, which means I win more and my clients save more money.
🥰 I'm a relationship-based insurance agent. I hated seeing clients leave because their rate increased and I couldn't do anything about it. Now I can re-shop rates and keep those clients forever!
If you're with Country, State Farm, USAA, Allstate, GEICO or Liberty Mutual, DM me and let me see what I can do for you. It's incredibly easy and I'll take care of you!!
Wishing you all the happiest New Year! We're so happy to be here with you in 2021
Wishing you and your loved ones a safe and joyous holiday!
