Agents Embrace Change to Better Serve Clients – Grant Sjaarda/Brenden Hanson, Sioux Falls

Better client access, natural light and ownership. These are all rea­sons Grant Sjaarda recently relocated his service location in Sioux Falls from Sheldon Lane to Louise Avenue.

“This location is easy for clients to find – it is literally three blocks from the Empire Mall on one of the busiest streets in South Dakota,” Sjaarda explained.

Easy access for clients topped his list of reasons to relocate because Sjaarda enjoys meeting face-to-face with Farmers Union Insurance customers and wants to encourage this engagement.

“You really get to know your clients when you sit down with them for a face-to-face meeting. And knowing and understanding your clients’ needs is so important to helping them with risk protection,” Sjaarda said.

Farmers Union Insur­ance Agent Brendon Hansen agreed. “Meeting with clients provides them with the secu­rity of knowing that they are the focus of what we do,” explained Hansen, who has served Farmers Union Insurance clients for more than 20 years working out of offices in Menno, Irene and now Yankton.

Because of his years of experience, Hansen was recently asked to help open a new Yankton office. Like Sjaarda’s new location, the Yankton office provides easy access. It’s located on Broadway Avenue, Highway 81, which runs right through the middle of Yankton.

“Taking care of clients is what I enjoy most about my work and this new location allows us to better serve them,” Hansen said.

He added that Farmers Union Insurance is currently looking for an additional agent to help serve clients in the Yankton area. If you or someone you know are interested contact Nick Honke at 605-209-8282.

Serving clients also tops Sjaarda’s list of reasons he enjoys the work he does as a Farmers Union Insurance Agent. “I really love working with clients – getting to know them as individuals and help them man­age their risk.”
