Only brokers and consultants who keep up with the times can provide truly exceptional service; brokers like Craig Harper.
“I have been doing benefits for 35 years and am always amazed at all the new or changing regulations that are coming out,” said Dave Gilbertson, director of total rewards for Long Term Care Group. “Craig understands our concerns on compliance. He always has our back.”
Staying up-to-date takes hard work, which is why Harper performs private equity-level due diligence analysis on his clients’ employee benefit programs and consults subject matter experts to identify trends before they become trends. But trends in one industry or one location aren’t necessarily trends in the next. Solutions must be tailored for each client.
“Craig is very versatile with risks solutions,” said Gilbertson. “We are a very demanding customer, and Craig is finding solutions other brokers cannot obtain. [Alliant is] also nationwide, as are we, so they are familiar with all the geographic anomalies.”
And if change is one constant, anticipating the unexpected is another. But Harper’s clients don’t mind. “You always feel like you’re their only client as they take care of whatever crisis pops up, yet still complete the scheduled projects,” said Gilbertson.
As another client sums it up: “Craig distinguishes himself in terms of industry knowledge, customer service. He is tenacious when it comes to working with carriers to achieve the best pricing.”
