Partner Spotlight: Kara DeWitt, Insurance Pro

kara

This post is part of the Partner Spotlight series. Every week for the next few months I will be highlighting a trusted professional in my network who provides me with outstanding service.

Insurance is one of those things that you don’t really think about it until you need it. At least that’s how I am. And when you do need it, it seems like the only option is to endure mediocre/terrible customer service, lots of paperwork, and lots of headaches.

Well, the paperwork may not be going away but I now actually enjoy working with my insurance agent. That’s because I work with Kara DeWitt.

Kara owns DeWitt Insurance Group along with her husband, Jim. Kara handles the property/casualty and business insurance side of the company.

Kara is truly a gem. She not only knows her stuff, but she works tirelessly for her clients to make sure they always get the best rates without sacrificing coverage, and she really goes out of her way to help her clients. Her clients get her cell phone number, and she works all hours of the day and night to make sure she is available for help. She communicates via text, phone, email, and Facebook which is pretty unusual for an insurance agent. It makes her very easy to work with.

I’ve referred many of my friends to Kara, often with a time-critical need. She has often worked weekends and evenings to finish applications or make sure the right paperwork goes through on time and has visited my friends in their homes so they are not inconvenienced. In short, Kara’s customer service is ridiculously great.

Kara provides my home, auto, and business insurance and I’ve never been happier with my agent. From her flexibility and availability to her reminders when I need to pay attention to renewals to her deep knowledge of her products, Kara is truly the best.

If you are not 100% happy with your insurance agent, stop messing around and call Kara DeWitt at 317.695.2046 or email her at kara@dewittinsurancegroup.com. I promise you will start to enjoy dealing with your insurance again.

Partner Spotlight: Cory Harkins, Chiropractor

cory

This post is part of the Partner Spotlight series. Every week for the next few months I will be highlighting a trusted professional in my network who provides me with outstanding service.

Dr. Cory Harkins is my chiropractor and honestly he’s the best one I know. I met Cory last year when he joined my BNI chapter. I’m a big believer in chiropractic care as a complement to other forms of medical care and I’ve worked with quite a few. Cory is outstanding.

I’m a recreational tennis player… well, ok, I’m addicted to obsessed with tennis and I play year round. A few years ago I developed a really nasty case of tennis elbow that just wouldn’t go away. I tried lots of things to fix it, including acupuncture, chiropractic, and lots of painkillers. Most of the things I tried really helped. However, nothing really seemed to “fix” it. The pain would decrease enough that I could play again but it never really totally went away  and it would continue to flare up as I played more.

Then I went to see Cory. Within a couple of visits, my tennis elbow was completely gone and I could play tennis pain-free for the first time in years! It was amazing. Not only that, but it almost never flares up again as long a I schedule maintenance visits every now and then. When I am playing lots of matches in a row, it will sometimes bother me a bit but a visit or two in Cory’s office takes care of it and I am back on the courts pain-free.

Not only is Cory a great chiropractor, but he’s also a super-nice guy. He’s friendly, caring, and tries to do whatever he can to ensure that his patients are comfortable and getting the right treatments. He has referral relationships with M.D.s and is open-minded to all forms of health care as long as they are good for the patient.

I’ve referred many of my friends (including fellow tennis players) to Cory and they have been very impressed.

Cory practices at ProWellness Chiropractic in Fisher, Indiana. It’s a beautiful office with a super-friendly staff. You can make an appointment with Cory by calling 317-595-9620. If are having issues like back pain, joint pain, headaches, etc. consider going to see Cory. I think you will be happy you did.

As the new year begins, I’d like to run a series of posts dedicated to my trusted business partners. By “partner” I don’t mean literal partners in my business, but rather those that I do business with and who provide me with valuable services. Some people call these “vendors” but honestly I hate that word [...]

What did I ship in 2011?

A while back, Seth Godin wrote a great post listing the things he shipped in 2010. Taking some inspiration from his post, I am also listing the things I shipped this past year. I’m not a big fan of getting all reflective, goal-hungry, and sentimental when a new year rolls over (I prefer a more constantly-flowing [...]

No, you don’t need a stupid social media policy

handcuffs

Social media in the workplace is (still) a popular topic of discussion. While those of us living in our marketing/tech bubbles see social media as just everyday communication, there are still many large organizations that are struggling to figure out how to use it, how to leverage it for business advantages, and how to minimize [...]

Tighten up your LinkedIn display name… or else!

linkedin

LinkedIn is great network that I’ve been using for many years. It has many useful applications in sales, networking, personal branding, and career development. It also has some SEO benefits which I have leveraged before. One of the ways I have used LinkedIn for SEO is by customizing the “last name” field with specific keywords. [...]
