"Having a national scale firm behind the Fine Art group brought new resources and market leverage with real client benefit. Premium volume with an individual carrier in the Fine Art practice might be small, but many times larger across Risk Strategies as a whole. The entirety of that relationship can have real meaning in a tough negotiation."
"Selling to Risk Strategies was a natural fit. We talked with over a dozen firms and Risk Strategies stood head-and-shoulders above the rest. Their specialty approach paralleled nicely with Gowrie’s formula for success. Within this process, the people we met at Risk Strategies and the way they conducted and presented themselves – gave me confidence we were on the right path."
