Client Feedback & Testimonials

One of the best indicators of our ability to provide great service is our client feedback. We regularly request and receive feedback to ensure satisfaction regarding our services.

I have worked with Navy & Sage in the past and was extremely pleased with their active management of our group benefits plan.

Corrie and Terri specialize in active group benefit plan management, transforming the needs of companies into sustainable and cost-effective group benefit plans that cover what employees’ value.

We have been working with Navy & Sage Benefits for over five years now and are very happy with the high-level service and support we are receiving.

Terri is a knowledgeable Advisor and has provided support with policy creation, hosting employee meetings (including a wellness challenge), and skillful negotiations with our insurance carrier.

The ‘True Colors’ was a break-through in communicating and relating to each other.

I tend to reference it in conversation with staff and when approaching staff for conversation. Your hard work pulled our team together and added some great morale. I’m encouraged to build on that momentum.

I wanted to say thank you for always being there and the wonderful service over the last 10 plus years.

The Municipality is very fortunate to have your services and excellent in-depth knowledge when it comes to looking after their most important assets, their employees.

Our Organization’s Finance & Payroll departments give Navy & Sage 10 out of 10 as our benefit provider broker plus plus!

They keep exceeding our expectations and this was one of the best decisions I made in 2018.

I really appreciate your help during our collective bargaining process.

Your detailed analysis and quick response time really helped in our union negotiations and made for a successful time at the bargaining table.

I have been working with Corrie for over seven years now through my employer and I highly recommend her.

She is passionate, knowledgeable, and customer oriented!

No one should feel frustrated with their benefits plan or advisor, especially the leader who chooses them.

We understand the responsibility you carry, which is why we partner with decision-makers like you to eliminate confusion and create a simple path to the right plan. So let’s start with a conversation. You can stop feeling frustrated and under-supported with what you have in place today.
