Sterling Insurance Group wins MAX Performer Award

MarshBerry – the authority in Insurance Brokerage performance nationwide – is excited to announce that Sterling Insurance Group is the winner of its inaugural MAX Performer recognition award.

Sterling Insurance Group is a top 200 firm out of 37,000 nationwide.

The MAX Performer award is a mark of distinction given to an independent agency that has

  • Strong financials
  • Exceptional company culture
  • Investment in technology

 

When selecting the winner for the 2017 MAX Performer award MarshBerry considered the challenges faced by many agencies in the insurance industry such as generating new business, retaining top talent and navigating the technology field as it is ever-changing.

Sterling certainly stepped up to these challenges.

“Sterling is the epitome of what MarshBerry was looking for when we started the MAX Performer program. They’re not only financially sound and growing – but they’re investing in their technology and their people,” said John M. Wepler, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, MarshBerry. “We are proud to present this prestigious award to the Sterling team for their commitment to driving growth and innovation, and for the way they set an example in the industry as a high-performing leader that’s constantly looking inside and outside for ways to elevate the organization.”

“As a Connect peer exchange partner since 2016, we have benefitted first hand from MarshBerry’s guidance, leadership and the impactful support of collaboration with peers and access to various industry data,” said Joe Haney, CEO of Sterling.” We are extremely proud to be the inaugural winner for this award and to lead the industry in areas beyond financial acumen. Being honored for our culture and our technology initiatives make this recognition even that more important for our organization.”
