The costs of doing business are something all owners, managers and directors look at when managing top and bottom line results. With uncertainty in today’s economy, having fixed numbers to work with can be an important part of a financial plan. "My business model is B2B (business to business) and my core customer is a retail insurance agency.The future just got brighter for our agents” says Shawn Young, founder of Professional Risk & Insurance Management Enterprises, Inc. The challenge for any business, how do I stay relevant to my customers?  What makes me special?  Combine our pragmatic approach to brokerage with decade’s long relationships and very quickly, the competency of my firm can be leveraged. It is how we help our customers move ahead in the placement process and find success.

But none of that matters without good service and this is where our new relationship with Vantage Agora (VA) will help. Customers depend on our getting the job done and then servicing the account. “This is truly a game changer for us, partnering Vantage Agora as an expert in the insurance business will help manage the clients we have developed. Now, I am very proud to extend that very same service offering to our customers!” extols Mr. Young.

Bringing the services of Vantage Agora to the table is just one more way we help our clients. They well positioned with first class training and dedicated IT services for all areas within the insurance business. Global economic trade is a certainty; smart businesses will have a domestic and international platform. Vantage Agora brings you the best of both worlds and uses credible, proven business practices like Six Sigma and SAS70 processes. They invest heavily in staff development, taking the time to mentor insurance professionals, not just sending automated email replies.

VA is a special service provider for the insurance business, a firm that merges cutting edge technology with deep technical training, and offers clients a solid and dependable ‘back office’ solution.  This is called “Smart sourcing”, a turn‐key way to help companies improve their results without sacrificing any of their core operating principals. While computers can work 24/7 – people cannot and everyone is managing more with less, so the VA solution is extremely valuable.  Think of it this way –you now have a ‘second shift’ running while the front line is asleep. Actually this becomes your ‘first shift’ when front line is managing other tasks which are more pressing during the normal business day. “It’s about productivity”, says Shawn Young, “we are thinking of creative ways to be more valuable to our business partners. I am very impressed with the passion for excellence from the leadership team at Vantage Agora ‐ the company has the right products for the right time in this market.  We are proud to present the services offered by VA, and once the insurance community discovers how well this works, it will take on its own momentum”.

Mr. Young “is very skilled in working with clients and efficient in his recommendations,” says Sudhir Achar, CEO of Vantage Agora, in a statement. “He is a great addition to the Vantage Agora team and will lead us into many new ventures with businesses in the New York, Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions.”
