| Groupguru Inc. is a distinctively different
group marketing organization with a network of over 200 associated
consultants in the golden horseshoe area of Ontario.
We represent almost all Canadian providers of group insurance benefits
and market groups on behalf of our field force.
We offer a value-added benefit to our brokers/consultants
by negotiating directly with our carriers and providing a client-ready
solution to their client’s group insurance problems. We compare
all quotations by benefit and cost in order to provide the single
best match between client and carrier. We will assist the
associated/consultants in making presentations to their respective
clients, arrange for the completion of all documentation and submission
to carrier, delivery of administration kits, training of administrators
and payment of commissions.
We assist brokers/consultants by providing training
on group products and provide up-to-date information about carrier
announcements and legislative changes.
Our mission is to make our field force the
most highly trained, competent group insurance providers in the
market place. Our 30 years of experience positions us well in the
industry.
HERE IS WHAT OTHERS IN THE INDUSTRY SAY ABOUT "GROUPGURU".
"In the last 17 years that I have been an Insurance Broker
and in particular a Group representative, I have had the pleasure
of knowing and working with Ken Dowdell. He has shown on a number
of occasions, excellent knowledge, skills and proven ability to
assist in the placement and service of group insurance. Currently
as a Portal for the Insurance Industry I am pleased to recommend
Ken and his staff as the brokers’ broker for group insurance. His
skills in research and presentations ability make him an asset to
maintain and obtain group insurance clients. He is the Group Guru."
Ian Polzin
President
Life Insurance Brokers.com Ltd
"Groupguru Inc. are a very valuable third party resource
enhancing the services we provide to our group clients. Any assistance
we receive is always current, insightful, but most importantly,
unbiased from a provider perspective."
Peter C. Tasker, CFP, ChFC, CLU
Tasker Financial Services Inc.
"Through the last several years, Sun Life has built a strong
relationship with Ken Dowdell. The basis of this relationship is
mutual trust and our confidence in Ken’s integrity. His knowledge
and efficiency of working in this business are a valuable link to
the services we provide for our clients."
Mario Malatesta
Account Manager
Sun Life
"Time is money. Confusion is distracting and unproductive.
Having Ken Dowdell take the confusion out of group sales and allow
me to spend more time opening cases has made a world of difference.
If I had him on my team over the last 20 years, I would be retired."
Gordon Conant
President, Conant Financial Services
"As an independent insurance broker time is a very precious
commodity to me. Like most agents my focus has to be on being in
front of people in selling situations most of my daylight hours.
Ken Dowdell and his staff have afforded me the opportunity of staying
focused on this by virtue of their expertise in doing all of the
‘back room’ stuff. By this, I mean obtaining the necessary quotations,
providing the analysis and assisting with recommendations. When
you get the exact same commissions as you would if you did everything
yourself, why would anyone not want to take advantage of the services
offered by Groupguru Inc."
Gary R. White
President
Associated Group Marketing Services Inc.
"As a very busy financial advisor I do not have the time
to keep up on employee benefit planning. Fortunately, Groupguru
Inc. has made this easy for me."
Frank DeFederico
Financial Directions Insurance Agency Inc.
"Over the past four years, I have had the pleasure of working
with Ken in his capacity as a Managing General Agent. During that
time, he has been able to balance the interests of both his agents
and the Insurance Companies in an honest, efficient and professional
manner.
Because of the volume generated by the cases under the Groupguru
Inc. umbrella and the level of trust that Ken has established with
the various insurers, he is able to get the best possible deal for
his agents in terms of product and price – both at the time of quote
and at renewal.
As a result, we have both seen our blocks of business grow substantially
and, perhaps more importantly, the retention of the in-force blocks
has been exceptional. I would highly recommend Ken to represent
your needs by acting as the liaison between you and the insurers
– it is a definite win/win proposition for you and your clients."
