Client Focused Practices

Professional Due Diligence:  Meeker Sharkey Associates  evaluate current insurance programs for strengths and weakness, regularly assess the marketplace, assist our clients in developing future objectives, and provide consistent follow up to insure that objectives are met .

·         Market Strategies:  we utilize carrier relationships to enhance insurance programs and test the market to insure competitive rates and plan designs.  Meeker Sharkey Associates negotiates policy rates and broker compensation to exceed the competition and surpass client expectations.

·         Daily Commitment to Quality:  our team of licensed customer services representatives are dedicated to Management, H.R.  and Personnel.  Among our many services are personalized claim advocacy, compliance and regulatory advice, and day to day assistance with administrative issues.

Non-Traditional Approach

·         The focus is on Business Risk-not on Traditional Policy Modification:  evaluation of needs is continuous, not based on an annual policy renewal.

·         Employee Benefits and Property /Casualty Insurance are viewed as integrated offerings:  the synergy between business risk management and employee benefits is a focal point of our services.

·         In Depth Analysis of Existing Programs:  we rise above the usual methodology to prioritize critical business risks.  Employer specific data obtained through management meetings, employee surveys, insurer follow up and on-site facility tours is used to identify, evaluate and manage risk.

·         Alternative Solutions:   today, negotiated minimal rate reductions, cost shifting, or cost cutting through severe plan modifications are not the long term solution to combat rising employer costs. Meeker Sharkey Associates is prepared to introduce insurance concepts that reflect the future of the industry.  Even if “now” is not “the time” for a new strategy, our innovative ideas prepare our clients for the day when the time is right for change.

·         Transparent Broker Compensation:  Meeker Sharkey Associates provides full financial disclosure of broker commissions and fees.   Our firm will negotiate compensation to reflect your firm’s core business philosophy.   Meeker Sharkey Associates can base broker compensation on fully disclosed commissions, negotiated commissions, or on a fee for service basis.
