The services and assistance that the people at GroupQuest provide have helped me improve the quality and professionalism that I bring to my client relationships. Coupled with their wealth of industry experience, I really feel I have a truly indispensable asset for my business.
-Kevin Giffin
Full Circle Financial
It's been over 4 years since I signed an MGA contract with GroupQuest and I could not be happier. From producing beautiful, detailed renewal reports, to providing competitive market surveys, to handling client requests and problems...GroupQuest has made my group insurance business way more productive, profitable and way less time consuming. Mario, Lisa and their team do most of the work I used to do. Their work is timely and accurate and it really is a pleasure doing business with them.
-Bram Friedman
Friedman Financial
I have been very happy with the service from GroupQuest. They handle my cases with care and present my renewals in a very professional manner. In a world that is becoming ever busier it is nice to have a Group MGA that understands what I need with respect to the Group business.
-Stephen O'Neill
Assante Wealth Management
I have been in business for 31 years and would best be described as one who covers a broad spectrum including Mutual Funds, Life and Health Insurance and Group Insurance. In the past few years it became apparent that I could no longer provide the level of expertise in the group sector that my clients required, nor could I devote sufficient time to handle the administrative requirements of my groups. GroupQuest and Lisa Curic proved to be the perfect solution to my problem. They have delivered a very high standard of service and are particularly valuable at renewal time with their advice and their willingness to both seek out the best carriers and negotiate the best pricing for my clients. Their presentation material makes me look like a Pro without necessitating that I spend large amounts of preparation time. I am able to keep the personal relationships with the business owners and leverage the services that GroupQuest provides into additional business in other lines of business.
GroupQuest is a good choice for anyone who wants great service and results while minimizing time commitments to their group line of business.-John Near, MBA, CLU
Chartered Financial Planner, Sun Life Financial
Contracting with GroupQuest was the best business decision I have made as an Independent Broker. Their experience, professionalism and dedication to details have given me a big confidence boost when meeting with my existing and prospective clients. Having GroupQuest market and prepare my presentations has given me more time to do what I like doing best which is being in front of clients.
-Claudio Romano
CR Financial
It has been a real pleasure being able to do business with GroupQuest; they offer expertise of execution and friendly and timely service whenever it is needed. GroupQuest has been a great partner that has been able to assist me in growing my business and servicing my business efficiently.
-Todd Elson
Safety Group Benefits Inc.
GroupQuest does a fabulous job in providing marketing and administration support for my group insurance business, allowing me time to focus on client service and the growth of my business. Any broker with an interest in group business should work with GroupQuest. Give them a try and you’ll see the difference it makes very quickly!
-Nick M. Svab
Svab Insurance Inc.
Our relationship with GroupQuest provides us with the confidence that we can be in the Group marketplace, and provide a competitive value added service that would not be possible without their support. We also appreciate how Mario, Lisa and everyone at GroupQuest are professional and so easy to work with. Thank You GroupQuest!
-Rui B. Ferandes
Fernandes Financial Inc.
GroupQuest allows me to focus on what I do best while their team of Associates are working behind the scene in preparing comprehensive quotations and comparisons. GroupQuest compliments my book of business and gives me the peace of mind of knowing that each year my clients have the most competitive Group products. Thank you for all your ongoing support.
-David Green
David M. Green Insurance Agency Ltd.
Working with GroupQuest has not only made my job easier, it has made me look more professional with my clients. The assistance and expertise they provide frees up my time to focus on prospecting new business. In addition, the marketing material generated is far beyond what I was able to provide to my prospects and clients. I can’t imagine going back to the old way of doing business!”
-Kevin M. Wallwork
Benefits Management Group Inc.
GroupQuest has been the driving force in a large shift in the way the benefits industry does business. Being in the forefront of this shift not only shows Mario and Lisa's vision but their success proves masterful implementation. The team at GroupQuest allows you as an advisor, to do what you do best, source and close business and maintain relationships with your clients while they manage the backroom paperwork, allowing you to be involved. The advisor has the opportunity to include the team as part of their own with the client or keep them your little secret. The large block that GQ has attained gives you, the advisor, a better negotiating and problem solving position with the carriers. GroupQuest understands your sense of urgency and the importance of every client relationship and works above and beyond to make sure you always look like a "superstar". The team at GQ are at the top of their game under the inspired leadership of Lisa and Mario. I couldn't, nor would I ever want to do it without them.
-Julie Katz
Partner, GBK Strategic Financial
I have been working with GroupQuest since June 2012. I am extremely pleased with the work that they provide. Their knowledgeable and friendly staff always acts with tremendous professionalism. Having their support, it allows me to grow my business and provide superior service to my existing clients. I would highly recommend GroupQuest to any advisor who is looking to work with a Group MGA.
-Connie Santos
CSI & Associates
We have been working with GroupQuest Benefits Resources since inception and have always been pleased with the level of professionalism that they exhibit. GroupQuest provide a value-added level of service to their clients through their expertise and relationship with insurers. They strive to represent the client’s best interests in a positive and proactive way, often looking for alternates and solutions to problems. Through their reputation in the industry for both honesty and thoroughness, they have established themselves as a premier MGA in the industry. Their flexibility and proactivity has resulted in a strong relationship with Cooperators while always representing the best interests of the client.
-Martin Walker, B.A., CEBS
Manager, Group Sales and Business Development, The Co-operators
It is always a pleasure dealing with such knowledgeable and experienced people. You can expect friendly service, as well as clear and concise direction regardless of the complexity of the situation. It is no wonder GroupQuest has been so successful and has become one of our truly elite business partners
