21CF-EPFX: MNCPA Estate and Personal Financial Planning Conference (Virtual Only)
Allison Kraus
Shoreline Insurance Group
Allison is what you would call a self-starter. Someone who makes magic from the mundane. Growing up outside of Chicago in difficult circumstances, she chose to work full-time at age 14. In fact, Allison can’t remember a time when she didn’t have a job. She was either babysitting, mowing lawns, removing snow, filing papers in her dad’s insurance office, or selling coupon books door to door. At age 20, instead of going to college, Allison began building her business through old-fashioned networking and cold calls.
Allison’s sink-or-swim determination paid off. Before long, she moved to Minnesota and fell in love with the lake life. She joined a thriving insurance company and managed her own clients. As the years went by, she began to envision a fresh and new agency—one that could help individuals and families navigate the unsettled waters of health insurance. So, she founded one.
In 2014, Allison launched Shoreline Insurance Group as if she were launching her vintage 26-foot Skiff Craft—bright eyes on the horizon, strong coffee in hand. Flanked by a savvy crew, she’s been sailing her clients to safety ever since.
With Allison at the helm, shopping for health insurance is far from stressful. Some even say it’s fun. Allison likes to laugh, has a gift for simplifying the complex, and is a self-proclaimed bargain shopper. It doesn’t hurt that she knows the subject matter inside and out—she’s ridden the waves of the health insurance industry since 2007. She loves diving into the details while her clients stay comfortable on deck.
