Jeffrey Naught: The Face of Protecting Your Business
My dad and uncles started the Naught-Naught Agency before I was born, so I was blessed with wonderful role models at a very young age. Going to my dad’s office when I was young gave me the foundation to grow a passion for the insurance business and helping the Jefferson City community. My dad’s hard work and dedication still help motivate me today, and I continue to seek knowledge and help from those around me.
When I first began working in the agency office as a young adult, I started from the ground up, changing the light bulbs and taking out the trash. But most importantly, I listened and paid close attention to my dad’s stories about the insurance business and important claim situations. While in college, I also made it a priority to get my health insurance license while still navigating my school coursework. I eventually expanded my licensing to include property and casualty licenses before graduating from the University of Missouri in 2005. In an effort to better protect our clients, I achieved the designation of certified insurance counselor in 2009. This designation is administered by the National Alliance, which is a prestigious group whose sole focus is toward insurance education and research.
Having now spent several years in the insurance industry, I find one of the most rewarding aspects of my work is the opportunity to learn about my clients’ businesses. I take great pleasure in witnessing the pride they have in their life’s work and understanding the intricacies of their industry. This knowledge allows me to devise strategies to safeguard their business investments and guide them through the claims process, should the need arise.
Like every industry, the insurance industry is constantly changing, and we are currently in a period of great flux. This can be stressful for business owners and individuals. That’s why I work hard to continue to learn and grow with the industry as it evolves, and I share all the information I learn with clients and co-workers. My goal is to continue to help those in our community and in the insurance industry, as my family has for over five decades.
