If I've learned anything throughout the years it's that life is unexpected. You never know what will occur. Sometimes good things happen but in other cases you find yourself facing challenges or difficult circumstances. When the hard times come, are you prepared for them? A good way to be set is to have appropriate insurance coverage.
A wise colleague once told me that insurance is like paying for a disaster on a monthly installment plan. Agents such as Annie Nguyen can help with that. Annie's company, Broadway Insurance Group, provides all types of insurance from auto and residential property to homeowners.' She also offers commercial products such as general liability, commercial auto and life insurance as well as financial planning services.
Annie tells me her career in the insurance industry came about inadvertently. She was working as an assistant for an insurance agent and enjoyed her work so much that she decided to open her own agency. She launched Broadway Insurance Group in 2005 in West Jordan and moved to a new office in Salt Lake City a couple of years ago.
Most people need home and auto insurance so they tend to be more popular. On the commercial side, Annie hopes to grow the life insurance portion of her business. Clients don't always want to talk about it, but the coverage is still necessary and important.
In the down economy, Annie says a higher percentage of claims have been filed since money is tight. She has also found clients actively shopping for the best rate, so competition is fierce. One way that Allstate, the company Annie represents, has remained competitive is by going green and offering a significant rate decrease for clients who enroll in paperless billing. A number of Annie's clients have returned to Allstate in order to receive the discount.
Annie feels Broadway Insurance Group is distinguished by its personalized service.
