CEO Today - September 2019 Edition

Committee of the Young Agents. We are heavily involved in giving back to our community and continue serving on boards and benefiting non-profits throughout the Central Savannah River Area, something we’ve done since 1919. Are there any specific challenges you face in the insurance sector? How do you overcome these? We face the same challenge of many small to medium size companies in the area of attracting new employees. We overcome this challenge by providing a positive workplace culture, with competitive pay and benefits. We want all our employees to know and feel that they are an integral part of the Blanchard and Calhoun Insurance Family. What should people look for when choosing their insurance agent/carrier? An agency that has been around for many years and has knowledgeable, ethical, skilled, and licensed employees that strive to provide the absolute best and most responsive customer service. We protect our clients the same way we would protect our families. We take a comprehensive risk management approach to make sure we are protecting the assets of our client’s business or family versus just trying to sell them insurance. How have you maintained your brand/clients/etc. for the past 100 years? By continuing to raise the bar with our staff. We focus on retention and unparalleled service. Our clients know they can always count on us to be there, as they have for the last 100 years. “We protect our clients the same way we would protect our families. We take a comprehensive risk management approach to make sure we are protecting the assets of our client’s business or family versus just trying to sell them insurance.” BLANCHARD & CALHOUN INSURANCE AGENCY, INC 73 www.ceotodaymagazine.com
