Why Savage?

OUR VALUES

At Savage and Associates, we work and live by our common core values. These values drive our internal culture and guide us in every decision we make.

Integrity.

At Savage, we understand that longterm client relationships must be built on trust and integrity. Our Financial Advisors get to know and understand our clients’ backgrounds, values, and objectives in order to manage their accounts with each customer’s best interests in mind. Our goal is to do the right things—even when no one is watching.

Client Focus.

Our founder, the late John F. Savage, used to say, “To be successful you must serve—not be served.” To honor John’s enduring legacy, the entire Savage and Associates team maintains an unwavering commitment to providing the highest levels of customer service. By working in that client-focused manner, we believe our clients are better off as a result of our actions.

Accountability.

At Savage and Associates, we take ownership of our actions. What’s more, we hold each other accountable for our individual behaviors. As a homegrown company with its roots firmly in northwest Ohio, we take pride in our reputation for giving back to our neighbors. Therefore, just as we’re accountable to our clients, we recognize that we’re also accountable to the communities in which we live and work.

Excellence.

We strive to excel in all that we do, but especially in the areas of professional integrity, continuous improvement, and learning. Each year, we present the Glass Awards for Excellence to Savage advisors who exceed their goals in securities/investments, risk management/insurance, group benefits, and overall production.

Balance.

Caring about people is one of Savage and Associates’ most basic business philosophies. Toward that end, we endeavor to create a highly positive and supportive work environment. We believe in the whole-person concept—and in helping each individual maintain a balance between clients, family, community, and faith. In its annual survey of employees from area companies, The Blade has consistently ranked Savage among the Top Workplaces in the Toledo region.
