How are you different from other insurance brokers?

As in any industry, there is extensive competition, however, there are marked differences in how we serve our clients. Some competitors cannot offer our extensive set of products and resources, others do not offer our broad array of services, and still others cannot provide the collaborative team of experienced experts we’ve assembled. However, the simplest difference may come down to our proprietary RiskMAP processes and the tools and resources we’ve developed throughout the years of working with multiple industries and business models. These insights uniquely position our team to provide best-in-class protection while also leveraging the market to get you the best value.

Are you large enough to take care of us?

McClone is in the top 2% nationally for insurance brokers and agents. This distinction speaks to our ability to provide a broad set of services while having the leverage, expertise and network of relationships needed to serve and exceed our clients’ expectations.

What value-add services (additional resources) do you offer?

We believe “value-added services” need to actually add value! Depending on the level of engagement you desire, we can provide a wide array of options and resources. However, it all starts with our RiskMAP process to determine which of those resources would add the most value for your unique needs, if any. You’ll only receive recommendations for services we feel you truly need.

How do you get me the best cost on insurance?

Delivering the best cost on insurance is a result of having broad market access and leverage within the marketplace, and using a proven process to ensure you're properly protected. Our size and expansive line-up of carriers give us broader access than others. Additionally, our RiskMAP process, which was designed from the ground up with the help of underwriters and business executives, creates an advantage in the market while ensuring proper protections are in place.

Do you provide references?

We do, however, even the worst service providers can come up with a few people who might say nice things about them. Instead, we believe we must be great partners for all of our clients. Annually, we ask our clients how we’re doing, and in 2018 97% said they would recommend us.

Who are you not a good fit for?

Some businesses simply do not want to take proactive measures, don’t care about finding the best value and just want to settle for cookie-cutter, out-of-the-box coverage in hopes it will be enough in their time of need. We are best for middle market, proactively minded organizations that want to take back control and truly form a strategy for reducing their overall risks.

How do you prove results?

We’ll let some of our clients tell you about that. See what they have to say about their results here.

Can you make my life easier?

We believe in being systematically proactive because we’ve seen that it takes less time and makes things simpler in the long run. We spend significantly more time up front than anyone else in our industry, followed by detailed action plans to make mitigating risk and dealing with insurance as easy as possible so you can focus on growing your business.

What do you do for the community?

McClone and our Team Members believe in our core purpose to make a difference in the communities we serve. We do this in a variety of ways such as:

10% of every dollar we earn goes back into the communities we serve through our charitable foundation and other corporate gifts
Team members get paid time off to volunteer or take part in charitable causes or events
Employee dollar for dollar matches — up to $500/year per team member — are given for non-profit organizations important to them
