There are 30,000 insurance brokers in the US that claim to offer great sales careers, but in reality, very few sales executives ever achieve a $1 million book of business. We put our money where our mouth is – almost ALL of our sales executives have a million-dollar book by their 10th anniversary.

How do our producers achieve such consistent results? We make it easy by surrounding them with everything they need to be successful, including:

• Experienced Account Management Teams – Your clients will be in good hands with our account management teams. They are capable and proficient. In addition to having skilled account managers, we intentionally build redundancy into the teams to ensure that clients get the best service possible.
• In-House Specialists- Our team includes people that specialize in compliance, HR consulting, analytics, client communications, worksite products, stop loss and technology. 
• Tools & Resources- You will have assessments, checklists, audits, etc. that you can use to tailor custom strategies for each client. You will also have access to partner companies that will provide you with additional resources, such as ThinkHR and Zywave, etc.

We are consultants, not just insurance shoppers. In addition to designing employee benefits packages, we help with strategic planning, analytics, cost containment, regulatory and compliance issues, and M&A/ due diligence, etc.
