Business Brief: My Swiss Insurance - expert advice for English speakers
A gap in the market for insurance guidance in English led two experts in the field to join forces and create a new company.
Company name: Myswissinsurance Sàrl
Name of interviewee: François Dutoit – Co-Founder and Insurance Consultant
What inspired you to start the company?: We saw the need for good-quality insurance advice and the lack of English speaking insurance experts is also quite obvious. Myself and co-founder Markus Häfeli (owner of the car company for expats - Autociel.ch) decided to put each of our 10 years of experience in the expat market together and create this company.
What's the nicest thing a customer has ever said about your company?: That we are very fast, very efficient and very competitive.
If your company was a country what would it be and why?: Switzerland! We are reliable, accurate and competitive.
What keeps you awake at night?: My business.
If I contact your company, will your staff be able to speak with me in English?: Yes. You can send an email in English to [email protected]
What's the strangest request you have ever had?: We once received a request to insure a dog's life.
What is your biggest-selling product?: Car insurance and health insurance.
What is your coolest product?: Health insurance that covers costs in private wards in all hospitals worldwide.
