John F. Kennedy said, “There are risks and costs to a program of action, but they are far less than the long-range risks and costs of comfortable inaction.” In my role as CEO of my family’s insurance business, James E. Moore Insurance Agency Inc., I implement a program of action because doing so allows our agency to exceed the expectations of our customers and make a positive difference in their lives. Understanding that insurance is a complex industry, my team and I simplify the jargon and coverage options while identifying competitive premium.
Most people do not want to think about their insurance until an accident happens or a disaster strikes. Likewise, shopping for insurance, comparing coverage levels and premiums are things most people would prefer to avoid. As a third-generation leader of a business that has been around since 1954, I am fortunate our clients trust us with their insurance needs. The result is a stronger relationship with our clients and a more positive experience for everyone.
Reputation matters and the chance to be a valuable, trusted resource for my clients and friends is a responsibility I take extremely seriously. This has motivated me to constantly advance my knowledge of the industry, to work on making it more understandable (by writing articles such as this}, and to check in with my clients periodically to ensure their policy still meets their needs.
Anyone can shop online for a policy but there is a steep learning curve, and the choices can be complex. Working with an independent insurance agent — someone who does this on a daily basis — helps to illuminate any coverage options, thereby ensuring the home or business is adequately protected. My team and I research every available option and work to eliminate any uncertainty for our clients, so they can rest easy in the knowledge they have the best possible coverage in place.
