Corporate Spotlight
GREATER INSURANCE SERVICE CORP.
For nearly 50 years, Greater Insurance Service Corp. has offered customized insurance programs for businesses and individuals around the state.
“We have agents throughout the state of Wisconsin representing many carriers in all lines of insurance,” says Heather Heidtke, the company’s vice president of sales and marketing, but “as marketers of many customized insurance programs, Greater Insurance Service offers our associations a unique set of insurance options.”
As a partner of the TLW since 2007 and a corporate sponsor, Greater Insurance Service is proud of its commitment to supporting the health and financial wellbeing of TLW members and their businesses — and of the Tavern League as a whole. “We work with many of Wisconsin’s small businesses and communities,” says Heidtke. “Many of our agents are in rural areas of Wisconsin and our clients are the neighbors next door. We are a good fit for the Tavern League and enjoy working with members. We also know that our sponsorship dollars help support excellent TLW programs and initiatives, and we are delighted to be part of that.”
Greater Insurance Service offers TLW members a broad array of insurance products. This includes, but is not limited to, a group health program through WPS specifically designed for TLW members, and low-cost dental and vision programs that can be used as a valuable employee benefit.
The company also provides ancillary insurance products, such as disability, hospital indemnity, accident, cancer and more. Ancillary products are secondary benefits that offer additional coverages to supplement health insurance. These products can help reduce out-of-pocket costs or provide extra money to help pay for other things, such as mortgages, utilities and groceries in a time of medical distress for you or your family.
Beyond this coverage, Greater Insurance Service offers a full line of insurance products for businesses and individuals, including life, health, property and casualty. And because the company works with a variety of insurance carriers, agents can help members find the right fit for them.
“Because everyone’s insurance needs differ, we work with members individually to find what is right for them. Just because you own a bar and live in Wisconsin doesn’t mean your needs are the same as another member. Our agents are skilled at working with customers to find exactly what insurance products, coverage levels and carriers they need,” confirms Heidtke.
Greater Insurance Service has about 35 agents across Wisconsin. Heidtke notes that agents are available to attend county league meetings to review their programs as an extra benefit. With the uncertainty and constant change in the insurance market, it’s important to review your insurance coverage regularly and have a strong relationship with your agent.
“What is new in insurance today will be old news tomorrow, which is why you should work with an agent. The industry is ever-changing and you need a professional who can stay on top of that,” says Heidtke. “Having an agent on your side helps ensure you’re not at a loss when you need to use your insurance. Your agent will ensure you have no gaps in coverage and you’re not overpaying because you’re sticking with what worked in the past. Our agents always want to make sure your insurance is the best fit for you.”
Greater Insurance Service’s customer-first ethic, and understanding of Wisconsin businesses and individuals are rooted in the company’s history, which got its start as a family-owned agency providing insurance to farmers. “Greater Insurance Service agents are here for you,” says Heidtke. “Let us be in your corner to sort through the ins and outs of your insurance coverage. We will make sure you are fully insured in the best possible way with the best possible price. Let us build you a program, not just a policy.” TLW
