In our ever changing World… Insurance Companies are beginning to outsource their many of their operations overseas! We have felt the “squeeze” from Insurance Companies basically stating to the consumer they are American based and on their side… but the truth is some of them are moving customer service operations overseas, competing directly with the wise and experienced U.S.A. agents and brokers and at the same time cutting commissions to agents.  We hope that the “people” of the U.S.A., the consumer will put the breaks on this kind of mentality.  If not, they shall reap what they have sewn.

At Athena Insurance and Financial Services we know virtually each of our clients by voice upon the first few words out of their mouths.  Why? We take our time to get to know our clients and have conversations with them about their life, operations, needs, experiences and more.

This does not happen with some companies that have invested in customer services support “based in other Nations”.  In fact the biggest complaint we get from many shoppers is ” I cannot understand what they are saying. “  This is a fact and we too experience it with calls from others wanting to verify insurance coverage for our clients.  It can be very frustrating.  And it is very difficult to deal with when we are getting the same call from multiple persons wanting to verify the information over and over again. Hopefully you will never have to deal with this from us.

So, the moral to the story is, if you want to talk with “us” you can!  If you have a problem when calling to pay a bill or a claim, then call us. You can!  We are your agent and broker and we still offer good ole customer service the way us American’s like it. And we will continue to do so until the big guys cut our earnings so low that we can no longer afford to operate in the fashion that we do. It is really up to you.

We believe the Customer is still “King or Queen” and you can make a statement with your purchasing dollars each day.   Make the Wise Choice and have Peace of Mind.
