Houston, Texas (PRWEB) January 29, 2012
Houston-based insurance agency, Iscential (formerly known as Barhorst Insurance Group) is planning its 17th Annual Kick-off Meeting and Agency Awards for February 10-11, 2012. The two-day event will be held at the Omni Houston Hotel and Maggianos Little Italy restaurant in Houstons Galleria area.
This is my chance to formally thank our team for all they do, says CEO Warren Barhorst. We owe our success to these people: our employees, their families, and our outside partners. We absolutely could not do it without them.
Since 1994, Barhorst has hosted the annual program for his entire agency. Alternating between family and adults-only events, one thing remains the same: he insists on hosting a venue that is exciting and outside the norm so its a memorable experience for all. This year, team members and their spouses will be treated to a full two days of relaxation, fun, and a little business at the Omni Houston Hotel in Houstons famed Galleria area.
One of the weekend highlights will be the agencys annual awards dinner and ceremony. Barhorst will honor his top team members in several categories, including: Highest Customer/Agent Satisfaction, Top Service Quality, Most Cross Sales, Commercial Lines Leader, Life and Financial Leader, and Agency of the Year. The awards are highly coveted by the team members who work all year toward this goal. In addition to kicking off the new year, the agency will be formally transitioning over to its new name and brand: Iscential.
Were so excited about the Iscential brand and the meaning behind it, states Barhorst. We always strive to provide an extraordinary service experience for our customers. Our new branding position reiterates to our existing and future customers, as well as our business partners, that we are committed to serving them with excellence. Thats how its always been, but now were just putting a name to it.
Iscentials partners and event sponsors include: Nationwide Insurance, Nationwide Financial, Nationwide Flood Program, National Flood Services, Insurance Intermediaries, Inc. (III), Service King Collision Repair Centers, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, PURE Insurance, and ServPro Industries, Inc.
