Safeco Named 2019 Company of the Year 

Safeco Insurance from Indianapolis, Ind. is the 2019 Big I Indiana Company of the Year. This award recognizes the company that demonstrates the strongest commitment to the independent insurance agency system in Indiana.

Safeco has more than 500 Indiana-based employees and they are represented at more than 400 agencies across the state. The company has a national reach but keeps decision-making local. They rely on their territory managers to stay in close contact with the agents in the state so that they have a deep understanding of unique needs. “We never take for granted the trust that independent agents place in us every day,” said AVP, Region Director Jeff Jansing. “Ultimately, we believe in the value the independent agent provides and that influences everything we do as a company.”

Among their many offerings are a producer development program, CSR development program, Bricks & Clicks, Customers for Life, and apps for both agents and customers.  “We understand that high-quality and cost-effective training programs are vital to our agency partners, so we have developed several training and development programs designed to help agencies grow their business,” Jansing said. “These programs are designed to not only grow their business with our company, but to grow their overall agency among all lines and with all carriers.”
