News Bulletin - Blue Ridge Insurance & Financial Services announces a 6-month plan to complete the transition into a full-service agency by becoming a 100% mobile and digital agency. "Timing is everything", states CEO/President Jeffrey E. McAlister. "It has always been my dream to be a full-service agency, but with the economy hitting the insurance industry like it did in 2007-2008, the timing was never right. With 10,000 people turning 65 every day, our focus has been the Seniors' market and this plan fits in with our marketing strategy as more and more Seniors are computer saavy and on the go. We intend to make the agency-client relationship as effortless as possible by offering home, auto, life and Medicare Supplements by phone, email, fax and video conferencing. We have recently received approval by the legal and compliance departments of some of our main carriers and now it's just a matter of time to get the remaining pieces of the puzzle to fall into place."
