Western Gold Story

Patricia Pirog | CEO

Patricia PirogPatricia Pirog has degrees in education & business. She began her career in teaching, later becoming a producer-office manager in the insurance industry. All her experience has culminated in starting an independent insurance agency, Western Gold Insurance Agency, Inc.

In addition to her managerial and team building skills, Patricia designs and authors all target marketing campaigns. Her unique ability to analyze insurance contracts and find the best policies and solutions for the clientele is amazing. Why? Because there are hundreds of insurance companies but only a select group who meet her rigorous standards. This process is always in motion as insurance carriers change. She embraces change and thrives on doing the diligent work required to search out the best carriers with the best policies, low and fair pricing, who stand up and pay claims expediently and most fairly.

Patricia is also primary in building team members and agents. She shares her vision and expects her team members to go the extra mile in building strong, trusting relationships with Western Gold clients. She states: “We are selling a unique brand of trust and commitment which must be earned each and every day based on our agency’s performance. Ultimately, it is about our clients. They must receive the very best service and rock solid insurance solutions that are tailored to their needs. Our clients decide to stay with us based on keeping our promise and delivering top notch personal service. We must earn their trust and their recommendations to their family, friends, and business associates to succeed and offer value.”

What is an Independent Insurance Agent?

When you decide to buy a car, you wouldn’t purchase the first one you see. What if one day the automobile industry decided to make only one type of car, one make and one model. You wouldn’t have a choice!

The same situation holds true for insurance. You need insurance to drive a car, to purchase a house, to protect your family’s financial future and to run a small business. But if there was only one insurance company that offered only one type of insurance, car insurance, home insurance or businessowner policy — you wouldn’t have a choice. The only solution would be going to that one company.

With an independent insurance agent, you have choices. Independent agents are not tied to any one insurance company. One of the advantages of using an independent agent is that he or she works to satisfy your needs. You are using an expert for an important financial decision.

An independent agent has several companies that he or she can approach to get you the best coverage at the best price. And your independent agent will know the companies with the most efficient claims departments to recover your losses as quickly as possible.

When you buy insurance, whether it’s for your home, your car or your business, you want an advocate who will properly assess the risks you face and give you an objective analysis of the marketplace, it’s up to you to make the final choice.
