Winning Insights from Our August Winner:

  • Providing an Excellent Customer Experience

“Our basic philosophy hasn’t changed over decades of service – we treat each client as an individual knowing everyone has different circumstances and needs. We listen to assure we meet all of their financial needs. This personalized approach helps make Heritage Financial Services a positive resource in developing, implementing and maintaining a business or individual financial strategy,” Gomez says.

  • Empowering Advisors and Creating a Culture in which They Can Grow and Succeed

“Our culture is one of teamwork, regardless if it is business or outside community work. Each advisor has a mentor that works with them and helps them develop professionally, and we have specialists that also support their development. We hold events weekly and monthly where outside speakers can come in and present so we continue to learn and grow.”

  • Best Practice Tip

“Approach each client as an individual with unique needs and expectations.”                               

  • The Value of Chamber Involvement

“We attend events for networking opportunities and learn new ways to support the community. You can learn several ways to have an impact on your community and stay involved in Omaha.”

  • Impacting the Community

“We are each encouraged to be involved in the community, and we’re given that opportunity to participate even during work hours,” Gomez says.

Heritage Financial Services supports a number of nonprofits, including The Teammates Mentoring Program, Big Brothers/Big Sisters of the Midlands, and Midwest Heart Connection.
