Doug Grieco – College Grad Chooses Insurance Part II

Doug Grieco - Commercial Accounts Executive, Founders Insurance Group

Now that I have a month under my belt here at Founders I’ve had the chance to settle in and get into the grind. Has the novelty worn off? Not quite! In fact, I am more confident now about how exciting the insurance industry is than I was when I decided to take a dive off the college diving board. Although the water is deep in the working world and there is a lot to learn, being thoroughly exposed to the industry has brought light to the excitement that comes with working in and protecting your own community.

    Despite the rising costs for owners and the slow economy, there are businesses thriving throughout Connecticut. Being a producer has already given me the luxury of learning what different businesses do and how they impact the area. Since joining the Founders Group I have met professionals that stretch from contractors to artists and everything in between. Already the fruits of networking and being active in the community have manifested. I urge every professional, especially the young ones like myself, to get out in the community, volunteer and meet as many people as you can, you never know who you might meet.

    The training I’ve undergone over the past month has opened my eyes to just how prevalent insurance is in our everyday lives. Whether it’s your car, homeowner’s, life, health or commercial insurance, one way or another our work impacts most of your daily life. Between training courses, seminars, self study books and an exciting three day visit with one of our carriers, General Casualty, I have been exposed in great detail just what goes into writing an insurance policy. It is a lengthy but important process that goes into protecting what matters most to you and those around you.

Although many (or even most) may not think talking to your insurance agent is exciting, I am here to educate you and provide trusted advice on what you can do to protect yourselves. When something goes wrong and you are properly taken care of by your insurer, things may begin to get more interesting for you! In the meantime, hopefully a long time, I will be doing everything I can to share the excitement and continuous innovation of the industry.

 

Thanks for listening!
