Mark Bagwell, ARM, AINS

“In the time I've been in the insurance industry,  I have seen a major change in market conditions.   With prices going up and coverage getting harder and harder to place for certain industries and clients, a strong broker has to lead clients through the market.   With an ever changing domestic and world economy now more than ever we have to be there as brokers to guide clients to the insurance solutions that meet their business needs,” said Mark Bagwell.

Mark will be responsible for producing new business, particularly in commercial lines of insurance and construction and manufacturing trades. Mark has also developed short term goals that include developing a prospect and client base through traditional and non-traditional sales methods.

In the past 9 years, Mark has had two very different types of sales jobs. From 2005 until 2009 he worked in a very aggressive, new business focused environment at Aerotek Commercial Staffing.  He worked with the manufacturing industry and had great success in developing new clients.  This job required a lot of cold calling and a lot of persistence. After leaving Aerotek,  he moved into the insurance industry, working as the Indiana Sales Manager for FirstComp Insurance.  In this role, Mark worked exclusively with worker's compensation insurance for the last four years.  His focus on the construction and manufacturing industries will allow him to utilize the worker's compensation knowledge that he has gained to provide solutions to clients in those fields.

Joining Cassady, Neeser & Bresseur, A Member of The Horton Group, Mark is looking forward to continuing his personal philosophy toward client advocacy and customer service. “Being a good listener is crucial in any job but even more so in sales. I have a genuine interest in my client's success,” said Mark.

Mark graduated from Indiana University in Bloomington. When he is not working, he enjoys spending time with his wife, Amanda and their two children Will and Evelyn. Mark regularly trains for competition in triathlons and also enjoys watching Indiana University sports and the Green Bay Packers. He attends St. Pius X Parish in Granger, Indiana.
