We have worked with Strategic Services for several years now and it has been a very rewarding partnership. The service and support we receive is top notch they went above and beyond what would be expected during the turbulence our organization faced during Covid 19. A lot of commercial and health insurance agencies renew with you and can tend to forgot about you mid plan year. SSG is involved and a constant presence and value add throughout the entire year.
