Lisa was brilliant to work with. I’m not great at reading the finer details of anything and Lisa took the time to go through the "fine-print" with me and explain everything. It was such an easy process to get quotes and then make an informed decision about my insurance. Would highly recommend Story Group!

Really impressed with Story Financial Group, they sorted our insurance required and explained everything in plain English that we could follow easily for putting the right policy’s in place, not ones we didn’t need. Highly recommend.

What happens on the call.
Fifteen minutes. That’s the whole thing.
1
You tell us where you’re at.
Work, mortgage, kids, and any cover you’ve already got through work, ACC or an old policy. No paperwork needed. A rough idea is fine.
2
We show you what you’ve got and where the gaps are.
Lisa walks you through what your current cover actually does, and what it doesn’t. Plain English, no jargon.
3
You decide what (if anything) to do next.
Some people finish the call happy with what they’ve got. Others want to look at a gap. Either way, it’s your call.
Worth knowing.
Four things we end up explaining on most calls.
ACC covers accidents, not illness.
If you can’t work because of an accident, ACC can help. If it’s an illness, like cancer or a heart condition, ACC doesn’t cover your income.
Cover through work has limits.
It’s a great start, but it’s often a set amount, it can have gaps, and it usually ends when you change jobs.
Healthy is usually the cheapest time.
Cover is generally priced on your age and health when you apply. Sorting it while you’re well usually means lower premiums and fewer exclusions.
Our advice costs you nothing.
The call is free and so is the advice. If you take out cover through us, the insurer pays us.
Coming through us doesn’t put your premium up.
Why Story Group.
Small enough to care.
We’re a small Christchurch team, started by Lisa and Kim. You’ll talk to the same people from the first call to the last.
Real people.
You’ll talk to Lisa, not a call centre or a chatbot.
Plain English.
If we use a word you don’t know, that’s on us. Ask away.
No hard sell.
We’ll tell you what we see. What you do with it is entirely up to you.
You deal with Story, not the insurer.
That includes claim time. If you ever need to claim, we’re the ones in your corner, handling the back-and-forth with you.
Meet your adviser.
Hi, I’m Lisa.
"Most people I talk to have insured the ute, the tools and the house, and forgotten the person paying for all of it. My job is to show you what you’ve got, in plain English, and let you decide what’s next."
Lisa Goss Co-founder and insurance adviser, Story Group
You’ll talk to me, not a call centre.
The Story Group team. Small, local, and on the end of the phone.
Fair questions.
These come up a lot. Ask us anything else on the call.
I’m healthy, do I need it?
Healthy is a great place to be, and it’s usually when cover is cheapest and comes with the fewest exclusions. Whether you need it depends on who relies on your income and what you’ve already got.
That’s exactly what the call is for. If you’re already well set up, we’ll tell you.
Isn’t it expensive?
It depends on your age, health, job and how much cover you want, so we won’t guess a number here.
Cover doesn’t have to be all or nothing. On the call we can talk about what matters most to you and what fits your budget.
I’ve got ACC or cover through work. Isn’t that enough?
It might be part of the picture. ACC covers accidents, not illness. Cover through work is often a set amount, can have gaps, and usually ends when you change jobs.
We’ll look at what you’ve got and show you where the gaps are, if there are any.
Will you push me into a policy?
No. You’ll get our honest view, and the decision is yours. Plenty of people finish the call, say thanks, and that’s that. We’re genuinely fine with it.
What does it cost?
The call is free, and so is our advice. If you decide to take out cover through us, the insurer pays us a commission.
Coming through us doesn’t put your premium up.
We’ll explain exactly how we’re paid before you decide anything.
