Leadership Focused On Your Success

Kestler Financial Group Principals

Tom and Jason Kestler took an unconventional approach when building Kestler Financial Group. Since they started out where you are, as producers, they knew they had to create a strong, producer-focused firm.

That meant not being seduced by the false promise of quick success by appointing huge numbers of agents. While many of our competitors focused on quantity, we strategically partnered with top producers.  We are also a proud Annexus Group partner.

Recognized success

Annexus began in 2006 with the most successful annuity launch in history, our first year generated $1.125 billion in business with 3,300 agents. We’re on track in 2010 to do about $3 billion with fewer than 5,000 agents.

Our largest competitor will do about the same dollar amount—with an army of 55,000 agents!

By focusing on relationships rather than numbers, we have come to be known as a different kind of Insurance Marketing Organization (IMO). With over 75 years of combined industry experience, our senior management team has a wealth of knowledge that is unparalleled in the industry.

Both Tom and Jason have served on countless insurance-carrier advisory boards and hold leadership positions with numerous financial industry associations.

Inc. 500 Magazine

Recognized leadership

Kestler's unique management style and leadership have been featured in magazines such as, Inc., Direct Marketing, Fortune Small Business, and Senior Market Sales. More recently, one of their proudest professional moments was when Kestler Financial Group was named one of the fastest-growing-companies by Inc. Magazine.

From the start, we focused on three concepts:

  1. Building solid, lasting relationships with top producers in the industry;
  2. Creating a new customer service model that put the producer’s needs ahead of the insurance carriers’;
  3. Offering products and innovative marketing concepts that would help our producers become more successful.
