TESTIMONIALS
Francisco Saa, J.D. Sales Consultant, Guardian Life Ins. Co. of America
Nobody works a renewal like Jeff – strategic, in touch with his client’s needs, and respectfully aggressive with the carrier. These traits and his great carrier relationships make him very effective when negotiating with us.

I recently had to make a difficult decision regarding my long term care policy. Needing advice, I contacted Jeff Bensman on the recommendation of a friend. Jeff was more that willing to help me. He provided invaluable counsel by reviewing the policy, explaining the pros and cons of my options and leading me to the right approach to take in my situation. Jeff gave me prompt advice and was very knowledgeable regarding all facets of the long term care area.

I just wanted to take a few minutes to thank SFG for the outstanding service you have provided to our firm over the years. Your negotiating skills resulting in the change of carrier for our health plan not only saved the firm thousands of dollars, but significantly upgraded both service and benefits to our employees. Professional service firms demand professional service from their agents especially in this challenging insurance market. At every step of the process, you made sure we received quotes from a number of quality carriers with enough time for us to make good business decisions, went the extra mile to convince carriers to reduce their renewal rates, and gave us you honest opinion on how other firms have approached various insurance issues. Your efforts have been, and continue to be invaluable to our firm.

Thank you so very much for all your helpful advice when we were making the stressful decision of what long-term health care insurance to purchase. I am particularly grateful for your quick and informative responses even though you knew from the beginning that you would receive no commission because we were already dealing with other agents in Illinois. Your willingness to share your obviously extensive knowledge of the subject under that circumstance was all the more impressive. Your input was extremely valuable because you were completely objective. You were highly generous with your time to me, a total stranger, and I sincerely appreciate it. Because you requested absolutely nothing in return, I feel the best way I can repay you for your kindness is to send you this letter and tell you that you may feel free to show it to anyone whom you wish. Thank you again for making our decision to purchase long-term health care insurance easier.

I just wanted to drop you a note of thanks. You and I have worked together for many years covering the insurance needs for both my family and my businesses. Suffice it to say, I could not be happier with the advice, products and service you have provided. Whether it’s picking the right medical plan for my company or a long term care policy for a family member, you have always steered me in the right direction with the necessary facts and solid rationale so I could make an informed decision. You then backed that up with continuing attention to detail to ensure that our various policies were properly serviced by the providers. An aspect that is too often overlooked. Thank you for being my trusted advisor.

Jeff, I owe you a hearty thank you and a debt of gratitude for the efforts you have undertaken to make sure the disability insurer has properly and promptly handled my claim for partial disability. Although I am very happy with the manner in which the insurer has handled the policy, I have no doubt that your hands on approach and the personal contact you have maintained with the insurer are largely responsible. Additionally, I appreciate the contact you maintain with me to, first, to make sure I am satisfied with the insurer’s handling of the policy and, second, to make sure things are otherwise going well — as they are. In short, thank you. Your professional approach and commitment to your clients is remarkable and makes a difference.
