Customer Reviews
When you are a business owner like myself, we get flooded with solicitation calls wanting to quote our insurance. I never take the call and I never call them back. Simply because we have Eric Rudy to help us with all our insurance. Eric is dependable, trustworthy and especially honest. He always does whats best for us and nobody else. He has been our Insurance Advisor for many years and we do not anticipate doing business with anyone else.
When I decided to open my CrossFit business, I immediately reached out to Eric Rudy to have him handle all of the insurance. He was fast and made it extremely easy on me from start to finish. He even called the CrossFit corporate office to make sure I was meeting all their insurance requirements. Just a great overall experience. I highly recommend him!
What I believe separates Eric Rudy from all other insurance agents is he cares about his clients. This is not just my belief. I have recommended Eric to many of my friends, family and other business owners and they all agree. He is a hard worker, always returns my calls the same day or night and he looks out for us. He always makes sure we are properly covered at a competitive price. Additionally, he treats me and my employees like friends instead of just another customer. Its a pleasure to be doing business with him.
I wanted to take this opportunity to voice my opinion on Eric Rudy. When we first met, we just did business together. But shortly after we developed a great friendship alongside our business relationship. I noticed right from the beginning Eric was not just your typical insurance agent working a few hours per week and golfing the rest of the time. He takes his job very serious. We meet in person every March to thoroughly go through my renewal to make sure everything is accurate and up to date. When you do business with Eric, it is peace of mind and you will be in very good hands.
I have been doing business with Eric Rudy for many years. We find him to be professional, considerate, responsive and is always looking out for whats best for our company. Additionally, we can always get ahold of him even at night, weekends and even holidays. Eric always tell us when we are open for business, he is open for business. He totally understands how to treat his clients.
When it comes to insurance, it can be very complicated and confusing with all the different coverages and options that are available to us. This is when I am so thankful we have Eric Rudy managing our insurance. He explains things in a format that makes it easier for us to understand. I can tell for certain he is not the type of person that is just trying to sell us on everything. He conducts business in a professional and ethical manner which is why we trust him with all our insurance.
I have been working with Brett for just a little over a year and in that short period of time he has gone out of his way to not only facilitate our insurance needs, but help us grow our business much like a partner would. Brett has been available, responsive and proactive in finding coverage and explaining what our exposures are within our emerging industry. A simple testimonial wouldnt do him justice
We came to The Smith Sawyer Smith Agency from a much larger insurance broker. When it came time for us to perform our workers compensation audit for the previous year, Brett offered to help us prepare and participate in the audit. He was able to find errors in payroll and classifications that our other broker never found. Because of this, we were able to recuperate a large amount of our premiums. The Smith Sawyer Smith Agency was also able to enhance our executive liability coverage (D&O/EPLI). They play an active role in our safety program and participate in safety meetings. The level of service from Brett and the agency has gone above and beyond our expectations.
We prioritize honest feedback from our clients to assist future customers in making well-informed decisions. Our review section showcases authentic experiences from real customers. When a less-than-positive review is submitted, we share it with both the agent and the reviewer to foster collaboration and improvement based on constructive feedback. We also moderate reviews to remove inappropriate content or spam, upholding a high standard of trust and transparency.
