I wanted to take a moment to share with everyone a brief excerpt from one our new marketing letters, that I feel sums up our business approach.
… Bates & Associates is a Minneapolis based insurance agency, which specializes in group health insurance and additional ancillary products. Our firm has been in the business of assisting employers with the often difficult decisions associated with corporate benefit insurance coverages, since 1988. We specialize in the needs of employers, 2-100 employees, and believe strongly that product research, along with strong market representation, are the two essential elements in keeping benefit costs under control. By continually staying proactive on your behalf we provide you confidence in knowing your benefit program is minimizing total dollars spent and maximizing employee satisfaction…
As an employer, you want your employees to be happy, but you want to maintain control of your expense as well. What some employers may not know, is that all insurance brokers receive the exact same rates from the respective health insurance carriers. This is not always true with commercial insurance coverages, and can sometimes create some confusion. Rest assured that Bates & Associates will be more than willing to go that extra mile to ensure your satisfaction. Bates & Associates believes strongly that insurance is a relationship oriented business. With that said, I would like to offer to you, on behalf of our firm, my appreciation for the business you have entrusted to us. We will continue to work proactively on your behalf and hope that our business relationship continues to grow for many years to come.
