Jessica Smith, co-owner of Legacy Insurance (formerly Insurance Place), loves her job. She specializes in many lines of insurance, from personal to commercial, start-up small businesses to large ones.
She’s been in the business for about 20 years, starting with a nationally-known carrier before going out on her own with her husband.
But the reason she loves what she does? The ability to connect with people.
“We’re all about building relationships with our clients,” Smith said. “We don’t want to just have your policies; we want to know you and know what’s important to you so we can properly protect you.”
Smith’s client base is a group of people she takes pride in getting to know on a personal level. She also wants to make sure those people feel at ease with their insurance policies.
“We are very client-focused,” she said. “We want to sit down, we want to take the opportunity to go over everything to make sure that you have an understanding. We’re unique in that we don’t just tell you what you need; we help you understand why we feel like you need what we’re recommending.”
Smith’s company has done as much as possible to help out the local school systems throughout the hard times brought about by COVID-19. She has regularly supplied teachers with funds to purchase cleaning supplies, and her company has helped deliver food to kids in need.
Over the next year, Smith is looking forward to continued growth within her company and seeks to find even more opportunities to assist the schools and local communities.
