Biggest Issue Facing Albany:
"I feel as though the biggest issue facing Albany right now is our community image. We struggle to keep quality restaurants and small businesses here in Albany. We also have to deal with crime and homelessness. I am encouraged that lots of positive steps have been taken in the right direction to help with these issues such as developing our riverfront, rebuilding the stage at Monteith Park, more police presence, keeping the mall in business, keeping our green spaces clear and clean, etc. Thank you to all of the efforts by our community leaders and members!"
Business Marketing Niche:
"PayneWest Insurance is committed to enhancing the well-being of the communities we serve and the people who live in them. PayneWest colleagues demonstrate and exemplify this commitment when they volunteer their time, talents and energies to their communities. PayneWest commits over $600k in community sponsorships and donations per year and every full time colleague gets 30 hours to spend time volunteering. I personally try to stay involved in our community and volunteer. I enjoy giving back to our community!"
Community Involvement:
"In our Northwest region, we employ more than 700 insurance professionals, including teams that specialize in highly-complex market niches such as healthcare, construction, transportation, education, agriculture, hospitality, public entities and banking. We provide an online quoting option for prospects and try to utilize social media and other online marketing tools to reach our prospects. I still prefer to meet with my clients face-to-face so that they have a chance to develop a relationship with myself and PayneWest Insurance, but the key is multiple points of contacts."
