Joel Siegel – Vice President
Cell: 616-690-3567 | Email: joel@advancedhealthsales.com
Joel, a graduate of Grand Valley State University, has been with Advanced Health Sales and Consulting since the summer of 2012. Joel’s career started when he began selling Medicare Supplements during his time at GVSU, while pursuing his finance degree. As time passed and Joel graduated college, he continued to expand his expertise to Employee Benefits, Life Insurance and to the individual health insurance market. In the winter of 2016, Joel completed his Property and Casualty Licenses. In doing so, this allowed Joel to be a full service agent to his customers!
There are two distinct qualities that set Joel apart from other insurance agents. The first quality is that Joel provides superior customer service. In today’s fast paced world, getting answers for customers quickly is not only very important, but is something that Joel sees as a priority. His willingness to go above and beyond for his clients is something that has been seen time and time again. Secondly, Joel provides alternative options to customers. Many times people are known to sit with the same insurance policy for several years taking increases that add up over time. Joel does not allow that to happen, but rather finds ways to provide cost saving alternatives, wherever he can, in order to ensure that customers are satisfied and getting what they need.
In Joel’s free time, he is an avid golfer, and enjoys coaching the Rockford High School Varsity Boys Golf Team.
Joel resides in Rockford, MI with his wife Abbey, who is a Special Education Teacher. They also have a two-year-old Golden Retriever, Laker.
