BIS Benefits Receives 2014 Best in State Broker Award

BIS Benefits today announced the firm has been recognized as a “2014 Best in State Broker” by FormFire, a Cleveland, Ohio-based insurance technology company.


The annual award is based on feedback from 100,000 small business employers who took part in the survey. BIS was selected from over 5,000 brokers nationwide.


“We’re grateful to receive an award that speaks to the strength of the relationships that we build with our clients and friends,” says BIS Benefits Founder and President Ray Bachman. “Good service is about total client satisfaction, diligent negotiations on behalf of our clients, and doing what is fair in all circumstances.”


“The cookie-cutter approach doesn’t work for us, our clients, or our employees. That’s what makes our approach so effective,” says Chief Operating Officer Jack Bruce. “A small company with 10 employees demands a different approach than a company with 100 employees and multiple locations.”


Clients of the Atlanta-based brokerage appreciate BIS Benefits for enabling them to focus on the day-to-day operation of their business rather than spending too much time negotiating rates or resolving claim issues with insurance carriers.


“We have saved thousands of dollars through our partnership with BIS,” says the executive pastor of a large church in Atlanta, one of many nonprofit organizations who rely on BIS Benefits.


With more than 350 business clients and over 800 individual and family clients across metro-Atlanta and around the state, BIS Benefits focuses on the mission and needs of clients rather than policy sales.
