Friendly and easygoing describe Greg, a seven-year Foremost employee from Georgetown, Ohio.

Greg has sold insurance to consumers for the past five years of his Foremost career. During his first two years with the company, he worked with existing customers providing service on their policies.

One thing that pleases Greg is providing a high level of customer satisfaction. “You can hear it in their tone of voice, that you’ve assisted a customer, when they say, ‘you’ve been a great help to me,’” he says.

Outside of work, Greg is a musical sort – he’s proud of his vast CD collection. He played trumpet in high school and these days he likes to work on his programmable music machine, setting up different rhythms and drumbeats and recording the tracks on CDs.

You might find Greg enjoying one of his favorite dishes – Cincinnati Chili – as he listens to his musical creations. He likes it in true Cincinnati fashion, with “spaghetti, onions, beans and cheese.”

Believing in the products you sell comes from the heart. That’s apparent when you talk to Rachel, one of ISC’s Internet sales agents. “Buying an insurance policy without a conversation beforehand with someone who is licensed is like going car shopping, and seeing only the base model. With no one to explain the options available, you probably won’t get a policy that fits your life and has the coverages you want.”

With four years experience, Rachel’s customers can be confident they’re speaking with someone who trusts the insurance she sells – she insures her own mobile home with Foremost.

Originally from Tacoma, Washington, Rachel enjoys reading and spending time with her son. She enjoys Mexican food and her favorite book is “Clan of the Cave Bear,” by Jean Auel.

There’s a lot of miles between her native Washington state and Michigan. Apparently there’s some distance in language as well. Rachel notes she never heard the term “cool beans” until she came to Michigan. (For all you residents of Washington state and the Pacific Northwest, “cool beans” is slang and means “that’ll work” or “I like that.”)
