Founder’s Message:
Carl Shockey, Founder and President of Paragon Independent Insurance Agencies.
In 2003 I was faced with a difficult choice. For nearly twenty five years I had been a captive agent for two of the largest insurance companies in the country. While successful in many respects I was had grown frustrated and weary of my inability to provide my customers with a broad range of insurance products and services that could meet their everyday needs. I was also very tired of my companies’ threats to cancel my contract for not pushing ‘flavor’ of the month products that might make them more profitable, but not necessarily were a solution or of any help to my clients.
Having received some good advice from a trusted friend in the industry, I felt now was the time to start an Independent Insurance Agency. In the spring of 2003 Paragon Independent Insurance Agencies was launched by a handful of dedicated individuals. It was now about putting ourselves back in control of our agency — it is not about being controlled by the companies and vendors you represent. While we believe it is imperative to meet, and hopefully exceed, the annual growth and productivity objectives of each of our carriers, it should not come at the expense of an agent being unable to help their customers make the right buying decisions. The individuals at Paragon have always believed that customers’ needs come first. Each and everyone one of them know that the relationship and trust that we work to have with our customers is largely responsible for where we are today.
Quantity versus Quality
Besides our people, what also makes Paragon Independent Insurance Agencies different from other Independents is our goal to represent the very best “Blue Chip”, highly rated Insurance companies in the industry. While we are always looking for carriers that can be of benefit to our clients we do not pick a company just for the sake of having one. We look for long term relationships with our insurance carriers because it means having a long term relationship with our customers. Paragon sets the highest standards of excellence in servicing Texans’ personal insurance needs and in doing so we partner with carriers who day in and day out can serve our customers at a very high level.
