Get to know Dave Toeben in our latest Member Spotlight. Learn how Dave has expanded his small insurance company and how he strives to take the headaches out of benefit administration.
Originally from Minnesota, Dave Toeben, owner and founder of Insight Insurance Services, aims to provide exceptional value to the businesses he serves. Dave is knowledgeable and proactive in a field where the rules and regulations are constantly changing. Nearly 20 years ago, he got his foot in the door working for a small insurance agency in the St. Cloud, MN area, learning all he could about the world of employee benefits. After only one year, he decided to break off and start his own business.
Insight Insurance Services is an independent agency that specializes in providing a wide array of solutions for business owners that will help them attract and retain employees, as well as protect and automate their businesses. Dave knows that it’s not just about the cost of insurance rates. “Rates are rates and they will always be that way”, he says, “I’m not just selling insurance, I am adding value to your business.”
Dave has always thought of himself as an entrepreneur and has thrived from bringing people together over a common interest. When he first started Insight, he loved providing people with peace of mind and an exceptional personalized service. He is constantly thinking of new ways in which he can take the unwanted hassle and stress of benefit administration off the business owner.
The services he provides save you time and energy so that you can focus on what really matters – you, your business and your employees. Insight does not charge for their added value services, and that really sets them apart from other agencies. What you get from Insight is a simplified and easy to use process that includes benefits enrollment, payroll, employee on boarding, HR benefits and compliance, and so much more. Something that sets this agency apart from others, is that. What you won’t see is the behind-the-scenes work and research he puts in to make sure that you, as a business owner and employee, have a pain-free, easy to use system and secure benefits.
With 15 years of experience in the health insurance industry, a flexible business, and a desire to leave the frigid north in search of some Southern hospitality and warm sunshine, he recently moved to Franklin in April of 2017 with his wife. As a new resident of Middle TN, he is astonished and motivated by the unbelievable growth in Williamson County. The new TN clients he has obtained along with his MN clients, that he regularly meets with in-person and during webinars, keep him more proactive than ever.
Dave thinks outside the box and continues to provide his clients with educational resources and new cutting-edge technological processes. When working with clients, Dave makes sure to keep his services as simple as possible for them to use and understand. He has completely restructured the way employers view benefit administration. Through Insight’s online benefits enrollment, streamlined employee on boarding, robust payroll integrations with ADP and effortless compliance management, Dave makes these complicated but necessary tasks, easy.
His advice to you? “Don’t ever accept the status quo, because everything is always changing.” At Insight, Dave is constantly working to keep up with the newest rules and regulations. In the past, insurance agents could sit down, provide you with the best possible rate, and that would be it. Today and in the last five years, the game has changed. Dave knows that clients don’t just want an insurance rate, they want an experience and service that no other advisor can provide.
