Wendy Stahl

Sales Executive, Varipro

MSE Detroit Member

I have over 23 years’ experience working for Third Party Benefit Administrators. Starting as a claims analyst with NGS American, in St. Clair Shores, Michigan, moving to the Claims Manager at BCI, in Farmington Hills, to becoming an Account Manager and then being promoted to Sales Executive at Varipro in 2021, in the Novi branch office. I really owe my success to a great mentor, Janice Carroll, Owner and President of BCI, for teaching me how to really dig in to plans and how to interpret them on my own. She forced me to develop well thought out solutions before I reached out for her guidance. She believed in me and gave me the opportunity to manage the claims department and in turn, mentor others to watch them grow in their careers. Now, starting my 5th year at Varipro, where in 2022, I exceeded the Company sales for both 2020 and 2021 combined.

I worked for Hilton for 11 years, as a Customer Service and Sales trainer. There I strengthened my people skills and continued to mentor others. I helped create excellent learning programs while helping to develop some of the most talented sales and service personnel in the hospitality industry.

My top personal achievements include competing in 2 sprint triathlons in Florida. Happy just to have completed them without being eaten by an alligator. I am a mother of 3 sons and a daughter, and grandmother to 4 beautiful grandsons (can we please get a girl). I continue to stay active and regularly challenge myself. I have plans for a “dryathlon” which includes a kayak leg with my partner, instead of a swim.

"I have made so many meaningful connections in the short time I have been part of MSE Detroit. I felt so welcomed at the very first meeting, as a new member. I immediately met so many well connected business professionals, who were willing to share their knowledge with me. There literally is no competition between members, just the willingness to share and help myself and others succeed."
