WHAT WILL THE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE BE LIKE?
Jessica Olson: My services are FREE to any individual looking for coverage. Once I place someone in a good fit, my services are paid for by the insurance company. There is no high-pressure sales pitch or nagging follow-ups. I want to help people not earn a sale. So we will work together to find what works for the customer. Sometimes I find their coverage through a state or federal agency. We are happy to refer people if that's what's right for them.
