Our History
Lewis Insurance was founded in 1947. From a small home based business in the 40’s and through 3 generations of our family we’ve turned into an agency capable of providing unique offers and solutions to meet the ever changing needs of our clients.
Our founder, Ralph W. Lewis, was an ag teacher for veterens returning from WWII. He soon realized his business potential based on his knowledge and contacts with local farmers and formed the agency with his wife. Today, we insure farms and dairies throughout California and Arizona. But we didn’t stop there.
In 2020 our entire philosophy and orientation changed to an approach much different than the traditional approach to insurance that most clients, prospects and our competitors are used to. We bring a new approach and present offers that our competitors just can’t, or won’t, deliver because their focus and orientation are still stuck in the past.
Our Philosphy
In 2020, Lewis Insurance Agency abandoned the traditional approach to insurance. We adopted a new business philosophy, changed our orientation to our clients and insurance carriers, and formed a new approach to the marketplace. We claim our orientation is our #1 competitive advantage. We believe, when you can identify how a person is oriented, you can better predict how they will act in future situations. A person whose orientation is generous will ask for the check at dinner. A person whose orientation is laziness will procrastinate to avoid work. An insurance agent who is oriented around making a sale will treat you like an object (an account or perhaps a large account).
Your business turns into a vehicle (object) to help them get what they want… a commission check. They will design their strategies around winning “accounts” and taking care of their own concerns. If an insurance agent is oriented around winning “accounts” what happens after they win? They move on to win the next account. We’ve noticed and observed this is the common approach in our industry and see how it eliminates the space needed to design and invent new strategies, practices, and valuable offers.
Lewis Insurance is oriented around seeing our clients as people who operate businesses that must compete in a highly competitive marketplace. We know they face constant challenges, they have limited time and resources, and they need more autonomy to deal with increasing competitive pressures. They have numerous concerns, face ongoing potential breakdowns, but also have many opportunities to exploit. We are oriented around learning about those concerns, potential breakdowns, and opportunities so we can design and invent offers, practices, narratives, and strategies that will take care of those concerns, help them avoid breakdowns, and create new opportunities that didn’t exist before our offers made them possible.
When a new client accepts our offer, we see it as our opportunity to produce new outcomes for them by reducing their cost, lowering risk, increasing their autonomy, earning their trust, increasing their identity to help them compete more effectively in the marketplace.
