Arthur J Gallagher is a risk management and
insurance brokerage firm, and we strive to help our clients
through property, casualty, and employee benefits,
and really anything that could pertain to risk and insurance.
I view our role at Gallagher is to really partner with our clients
to assist them in making the right decisions from a human capital perspective.
By and large, Arthur J Gallagher is a service company.
And as a large insurance broker,
we've been able to harness the power of a lot of individual brain power plus
also the services needed to make those companies safer, better,
so that they can be more competitive in the environment and in the economy.
I think there's something to be said for taking a step back
and being vulnerable and realizing that we don't have all the answers.
One of the things that makes Gallagher organization different is the people.
I always felt that even though my position was not necessarily
part of the executive team, that my opinions were heard,
and that people would listen to new ideas.
To me it showed that even though it's a big organization,
it still had a small team feel.
Our company takes pride in bringing in young people in coaching
and mentoring them to the point where they can do this on their own,
where they have the ability to get involved in the leadership,
and the ability to take what they believe is just a sales career
and turn it into something extraordinary special.
At Gallagher I know for a fact there's something that my peers
aren't getting at their companies and that's hands on experience.
Repetition, role play, learning how to speak in front of individuals,
these are all things that are fundamentally
very important to the success of Gallagher producers.
Sales is a competitive environment, its win or lose,
I hate to lose, and that's part of what drives me every day.
I started as an intern, within a month of graduating college,
I was hired on as a producer.
Within 2 years of that I was promoted to assistant vice president
and within two and half years of that, I'm now an area vice president.
I've always wanted a job where you can be as successful as you want to be,
meaning if you're gonna work hard and you're gonna do what you need to do,
that's how successful you're gonna be.
The Gallagher culture is a culture of teamwork and of supporting each other.
So going into a client meeting or prospective client meeting
and being able to carry our true personalities into that meeting
I think gives us a differentiator from our competition.
When I attended the career fair at Gallagher,
I had no idea that the insurance industry existed or what it even looked like,
but I really connected with the people that I met.
I could really see an entrepreneurial path here.
I am constantly hunting, constantly coming up with new and creative ideas
for my clients so that they can better their organizations
So if you're someone who's interested,
in joining a company where really you can be your own entrepreneur,
you can call the shots, you can decide what companies, what industries,
who you're gonna call on, who you're gonna bring in as clients,
who you want to work with, in an environment that's
not only competitive but has a great culture,
then Gallagher's a great place to be.
