Meet Kari Heiss<\/h1><\/div>

Where is your hometown and did you grow up around farming?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I grew up in O\u2019Neill, Nebraska, which is mainly an agricultural community. My entire family has been in farming for many years. My grandparents were farmers\/ranchers raising mostly corn, soybeans, and livestock. My mother is the president of a local bank that does a fair share of ag lending and my father has sold John Deere equipment for over 30 years.\u00a0Tate, my husband, comes from an agricultural background as well. He is a grain merchandiser for a local elevator and farms with his dad and brother, raising primarily corn and soybeans.<\/p>\n

What are your clients asking you about today?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have been working with several ranchers lately who are asking about Pasture, Rangeland, Forage<\/a> Insurance (PRF) coverage. I found a new passion for PRF and I want more ranchers to know about them.\u00a0 I\u2019ve seen some very positive impact to operations I insure already this year.\u00a0 PRF Insurance insures against one peril, precipitation. \u00a0There are many ways to design clients\u2019 policies and being the analytical person that I am, I love walking through different scenarios with Silveus\u2019 software, RangeCalc.\u00a0 I am able to see how this product would have performed all the way back to 1949 based off of the coverage levels chosen and how the policy is designed. \u00a0Each policy I write is unique to the client.\u00a0 We look at the location of their ground, historical data, and more to design a policy that best fits their operation.\u00a0 I\u2019m excited to continue to help educate farmers and ranchers on how this product can potentially play a role in their operations.<\/p>\n

What is your approach to customer service?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I want to earn my clients\u2019 trust and to achieve this I ensure that they know they matter.\u00a0 Striving to do what is in the best interest of my clients is how I live up to the mission statement of Silveus that reads, \u201cAt Silveus Insurance Group, we serve others by creating exceptional value through risk management solutions,\u00a0because people matter.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

How long have you been working at Silveus and what do you like best about your job?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I started with Silveus about two years ago. Prior to that, I was a financial representative for a well-known financial firm for six years where I held my Life, Health, Annuities licenses and also my Variable Contracts license, having taken the Series 6 and 63. During that time, about 80 percent of my clients were either AG producers themselves or AG-based businesses.<\/p>\n

When the opportunity with Silveus came along, it was definitely a no-brainer because I knew it was a great company to be a part of. I get to work with a great community of people every day and help them make the most important decisions for their operations every year. Without a doubt, the best part about the job is working with the farmers and ranchers in the community.<\/p>\n

What are you most excited about?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am excited to be here and to be working for such a wonderful company. I truly believe that PRF Insurance can be very valuable to my clients and I enjoy educating them about the product. With the role that Silveus played in bringing this product to the market and the resources I have at my fingertips, which includes our amazing software and our knowledgeable agents, I believe I can bring a positive impact to many ranchers. I enjoy helping my clients make the best educated decision on what is most suitable for their operation, not just for PRF Insurance, but for other products and services as well.<\/p>\n

What is one fun fact about yourself your co-workers don\u2019t know<\/strong><\/p>\n

I love watersports and slalom snow skiing (a water sport that involves just one ski). My family owned a cabin growing up and we spent almost every summer weekend there.\u00a0We still go up in the summers, and as my children get older, I hope to get back there quite a bit more. Something about being in a cabin surrounded by the river is so peaceful.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1980,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[38,31],"tags":[76,114,40,75,115,28],"class_list":["post-1979","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-meet-the-team","category-silveus-insurance-group","tag-crop-insurance","tag-customer-service","tag-meet-the-team","tag-prf","tag-silveus-agent","tag-silveus-insurance-group"],"yoast_head":"\nMeet the Team: Kari Heiss -<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Meet Kari Heiss, Crop Insurance Agent with Silveus Insurance Group.
