Jackie Sathre (Earth Excursions) and Andrea Romero (Country Financial) met through the Arvada Chamber when Andrea joined a networking group 13 years ago. "Jackie was one of the kind ones who welcomed me," said Andrea. Soon after, Jackie became Andrea's client.
"She’s so fantastic," said Jackie. "She’s the best insurance agent in all of Colorado." She's quick to tell the story of Country Financial's sump pump insurance saving her during a costly basement leak. Andrea counters with a story of Jackie helping her rebook flights and hotels to save a cruise trip.
"People don’t understand the value add that Jackie has," said Andrea. "If I do international travel, I want to know if there’s an issue, I can call a real person and they’re going to help me. That’s so beneficial in the business world."
But it's not all business for this Chamber connection. "We have a lot of fun too," says Jackie. She mentions inviting Andrea and others from the Inspiring Women group over to teach them her secret family pie recipe.
"In my opinion," says Jackie, "this kind of networking group is going to be the future."
