Minneapolis Group Sales Office Earns Multiple National Awards
Office staff, Gregg Stauber honored by Assurant Employee Benefits
MINNEAPOLIS - Assurant Employee Benefits has honored the Minneapolis Group Sales Office and Gregg Stauber with multiple awards for their outstanding performance in 2005.
The Minneapolis Group Sales Office earned the Office of the Year Award. The rankings are based on office sales goal achievement and premium renewals.
"The Minneapolis Group Sales Office won this award because of its ability to work together and provide excellent customer service," said Marc Warrington, senior vice president of sales. "Each person on the team contributed to achieve this award."
Gregg Stauber, senior sales representative, was presented with two awards from Assurant Employee Benefits. Stauber was one of four recipients nationwide who won the Senior Vice President's Award. He earned the award by submitting the most employee-paid new business premium toward his goal. Stauber also won the Voluntary Sales Leader Award. "Voluntary" refers to benefits paid for by employees rather than employers.
"Gregg is a prime example of the determination of the Minneapolis Group Sales Office to meet or exceed its goals and excel in the insurance industry," said Warrington. "He has represented his office and Assurant Employee Benefits well with his dedication and knowledge."
Stauber has been with Assurant Employee Benefits for over 10 years. He currently lives in Minneapolis, Minn. Both Stauber and the Minneapolis Group Sales Office will receive their awards at the President's Conference later this month.
