ASPN Announces New Alliance with InStrategy Group

Chicago, December 15, 2009: ASPN Insurance Agency, LLC is pleased to announce a new alliance with InStrategy Group, a consulting firm specializing in providing innovative solutions for the insurance industry. InStrategy Group offers ASPN agents unique commercial insurance solutions through a range of services designed to facilitate business growth and increase revenue opportunities.

In these challenging economic times, ASPN has teamed up with a new strategic organization that can bring real value and provide an immediate impact to the independent agency network. "InStrategy Group's expertise, experience, and relationships in the insurance industry will continue to enhance the offerings that ASPN makes available to agents and assist them in meeting the difficult challenges in today's marketplace," said Art Slawson, Vice President of Business Development.

"We are excited about our affiliation with ASPN," said Gregg Calestini, President & CEO of InStrategy Group. "We have chosen a highly respected and well positioned partner that has a deep understanding of what it takes to achieve business success. ASPN's network of products and service providers allows its agents, brokers, & MGA members access to a broad platform of offerings to solve their clients' needs. One facility that was missing at ASPN was a service provider that could help achieve results driven solutions for ASPN agents, brokers, and MGA's ranging from growth strategies, sales development, operational efficiencies, and leadership development. That gap has now been filled by InStrategy Group and we stand ready to work with ASPN agents nationwide."

InStrategy Group assists its clients in identifying and addressing the challenges that impact the growth and performance of their businesses. InStrategy Group delivers comprehensive, client centric, and cost efficient business solutions through the development of branding, marketing, communication, and sales development.

What makes InStrategy Group unique as a consultant is their actual commercial insurance experience. InStrategy Group understands the challenges and needs of their insurance clients because each individual in their group has commercial insurance experience. "We understand the challenges and problems our insurance industry clients face because we've been there. Throughout our insurance careers, we have led, managed, created, and implemented solutions that achieved strong results," said Calestini.

InStrategy Group strongly believes the best way to achieve success is through a true partnership. "We work closely with clients and stay with them until they achieve the right results and know then, that our work is done. We leave as a result", said Calestini.
