It took the blood, sweat and tears of Ramon A. Roco whose entrepreneurial guts have landed him an enviable position.
RAROCO Insurance founder and president, Mr. Roco, was initially a life insurance agent who ventured into non-life insurance in order to complete both needs of his clients. In the early eighties, he would knock on the doors and ring on the bells of complete strangers. This was old-school marketing, and marketing an unpopular product at that. Experiencing rejection on a daily basis didn’t dampen his spirit. Eventually, his persistence successfully led him to open RA ROCO Insurance Agency in 1983. In the early 2000, Mr. Roco not only won the individual top sales agent but also bagged the top agency award for Philamcare then under The Philamlife Group of Companies. By 2004, the company officially became RAROCO Insurance Brokers, Inc. RAROCO has been a consistent annual top producer in medical and travel insurance for Pacific Cross (formerly Blue Cross). In the line of motor car insurance, our corporation has been recognized as a high-ranking producer for Philippine British Assurance Corp. Several other principal insurers acknowledge and award RAROCO for its yearly accomplishments in top sales performance. Insurance Commissioner Atty. Dennis Funa graced the event as Guest of Honor.[/ultimate_heading][/vc_column][/vc_row]
