It's a new year, is it a new you? 

 

We are a little over 2 weeks into the new year and I would bet a lot of resolutions have already been tossed aside.

 

I'm a pretty loyal morning gym rat, my hangout at 6am is Energy Fitness in Torrington.  I've lived through a few Januarys at Energy and without fail the first two weeks you can't find a spot  in the parking lot.  When February rolls around, the lot thins out and those that decided to keep their resolutions remain on and become "one of us". 

 

The key to keeping the resolutions is making them realistic and having a game plan with a deadline.  It isn't rocket science, but it is work.

 

Before you all ask, yes we have resolutions at Founders Insurance Group and here they are:

 

  • Be greener - we have just remodeled our office and have incorporated green materials and have also initiated and even more stringent recycling program.
  • Connect more with the communities in which we do business - we recently sponsored the Warner Theatre's MOMIX Botanica and have many more community centered actives on the horizon!  Stay tuned...
  • Connect more with our clients - We are striving to be more proactive - reaching out to our clients via a myriad of ways:  Social media, events, traditional media and most importantly via our sales team.  We want to know what our clients think about us!
  • Become better at what we do - This should be a work in progress for every company, and Founders Insurance Group is no different.  Every day we try to do the best we can by advocating for our clients and giving back to our communities. 

Keep up with those resolutions and I'm always looking for some early morning fellow gym rats to hang out with!

 

Cheers!

Why George Albino chose Founders

Cheryl Fuhr (above right), Founders Commercial Lines Manager, often says  "They broke the mold, when they made George Albino (above left) - he is a true gentleman."  Anyone that meets George would concur. 


 

George graciously agreed to let us interview him. We wanted to know why he chose Founders Insurance Group over another independent insurance agency.  Here is what he had to say:
 
Q: In your opinion, what makes Founders different than other insurance agencies?
A:  Their personal attention to outstanding customer service and their ability to make their clients feel comfortable and appreciated.


 

Q:  If you could describe Founders Insurance Group in one word, what would that word be?
A:  Competence


 

Q:  When it comes to working with an insurance agent, what is most important to you?
A:  That the person that I am working with listens to hear our concerns and then works to provide whichever product (and cost) best suits our needs.  Founders delivers that to me absolutely


 

Q:  Why did you choose to do business with an independent insurance agency such as Founders versus an online vendor or a captive vendor?
A:  I enjoy and appreciate personal and attentive service, and just as importantly, I am (and always have been) a true believer in community loyalty.  We earn our monies in this marketplace, and we should spend it in our marketplace (support each other) even if at times it means slightly higher costs.


 

"From owners to receptionists, Founders Insurance Group reflects and radiates a personal, thoughtful, caring, and nurturing attitude to all of its clients"
