JWB Insurance Group Celebrates
its 14th Anniversary
(September 2008)
JWB
Insurance Group of Wilmington, Cary and now
Fayetteville, North Carolina is proud to celebrate
three anniversaries this month: its 14th
year in business, its 4th consecutive
year as Wilmington’s premiere (and recently
exclusive) United Healthcare platinum agency, and
its 3rd year since adding a property and
casualty division.
“Becoming a Platinum agency
for United has really set our agency apart, and in
such a competitive market, it lets people know that
we are at the top and gives us very distinct
advantages in servicing our clients,” explains Larry
Wolfe, co-founder and President of JWB Insurance
Group. Platinum status is a distinction awarded to
independent agencies that meet high standards in
attracting and retaining UHC customers and is
awarded to only the top 1% of all agencies
nationwide.
In the process of evolving
from a two partner firm to one with over 30
employees, JWB Insurance Group has tried to remain
innovative.
“Over the past several years
we’ve added VOIP telephones, remote servers, an
electronic document management system, a client
focused web portal and more recently, a ‘4-10’
work-week for some of our employees” says Wolfe.
“It’s tough to tell which
innovation our employees like best, but if I had to
guess, it would be the ‘4-10’ work week,” adds
co-founder and Vice-president Jim Warren, “it really
seems to keep our employees fresh and helps save a
little on gas.”
While JWB is open
Monday-Friday from 9-5, with a number of employees
working four, ten-hour days, forgoing the
traditional eight hour, five day a week schedule.
They came up with the idea after seeing specials
about ‘flex scheduling’ on Good Morning America, and
in the Star News.
Over the past 14 years the
company has not only committed to being innovative
but has really dedicated itself to being customer
focused. Corey Hill, Director of Marketing believes,
“Larry and Jim seem to have realized early on that
focusing on satisfying customer needs and showing a
rare compassion for the client was important to
them”. Half of the agency’s staff is dedicated
solely to customer support.
Wolfe and Warren agree that
“Traditional selling has shifted to a more
consultative approach, focused more on finding a
customized solution than providing the same standard
options for everyone.”
As a full service agency, JWB
Insurance Group offers employee benefits, individual
health, property insurance as well as commercial
insurance to clients all over the state. Their
property and casualty division has seen its share of
hurricanes over the years and is “proud to know it
provides some comfort for anxious home and business
owners on the coast,” says Jodi Settlemyre,
supervisor of the P&C division.
