Case Management

Our Case Managers act as liaison and advocate between the insurance advisor, their clients and the insurance company underwriting teams. We communicate case status on a regular basis to keep you informed and Advisors can also check status online 24/7 through our Advisor Portal. Our Case Managers have many years of experience, knowledge and relationships – helping us manage your and your client’s expectations throughout the underwriting process to get the best possible offer.

Sales

Our sales team provides one-on-one support and service in the western United States. We believe that meeting face-to-face beats talking on an 800 number. However, our Reps are also available via phone or virtually – however you prefer to do business. Our Sales Reps have great sales and presentation tips; they’ll even sit in on a client meeting or presentation if you’d like additional support.
