ArborMAX Customer Service at its best.Chris von Allmen with the Garrett-Stotz Company was preparing quotes for Grasshoppers Lawn Care & Landscaping as their policy expiration date was Saturday, April 23rd. Brian Tunge, VP of Marketing, had recently sent a targeted email to Grasshoppers informing them of the ArborMAX Program. On Thursday, April 21st, Chris, at the request of Grasshoppers, called Brian to see if ArborMAX could provide a quote. Chris did not expect a quote given the lack of time. The ArborMAX team of Mike Rook (Program Manager) and Laine Malatesta (Underwriting Assistant) received the submission that afternoon and provided a quote the next day. Chris then met with the owner of Grasshoppers and bound the account at 5 p.m. on Good Friday.
With the experience of the entire staff at ArborMAX, and the fact that we are a relatively small office focusing only on tree care companies and insurance for the tree care industry, we can provide customer service and efficient turnaround times for our clients and our agents. Just another reason to join the ArborMAX Program.
