Greg Ganyo
Arizona Insurance Agent and The Owner of the Agency
Greg Ganyo is one of the Arizona Independent Insurance Agents and the owner of the Ganyo Insurance Agency. He founded this insurance agency originally in Minnesota in 1984. In Arizona, he started selling insurance 15 years ago directly after building one of the very first homes in the Verrado community. With 17 Presidents Council awards from 3 different insurance companies, he has ranked in the top ½ % of his peers for most of his career. His personal lines and business knowledge also has allowed him to make great choices for the clients he represents. Greg has put together over 30 companies to be sure all of his clients’ needs will be met.
He started as a teacher after finishing college and still uses those skills today to make sure his clients understand the purchases they make.
Greg Won State as a Highschool wrestler went on to wrestle 4 years in college and even trained for the 1984 Olympics. He took up golf when no one would come over to wrestle anymore and today that is his favorite pastime.
Business and helping people is his passion as well as projects around the house. Teaching and mentoring are still a big part of his life as he has helped many an insurance agent improve in processes and systems.
He operates under 2 rules:
- The Grandma rule, which means: if it’s not good enough for my Grandma it’s not good enough for my client.
- I can’t always tell you what you want to hear, but it will always be a straight forward honest answer.
