The only reason for having a broker is to help manage your benefits program. A primary function of managing your benefits is to ensure the lowest rates possible, however, there are many different ways a benefits plan can cost your organization, such as:

Renewal negotiation – concise logical analysis or simply new rates presented?

Plan design options – thoughtful analysis to minimize impact to employees or
no meaningful recommendations?

Risk management – have you been advised of all potential liabilities?

High or low employee satisfaction with benefits plan? Reviewed?

Are you confident your broker has presented all the choices available to your
company?

While understanding that rates will always be an important consideration in your decision making process, we also understand that today’s sophisticated business owners are demanding much more for their investment. In turn, they understand in today’s marketplace all insurance carriers are generally similar. In the past, it was reasonable to expect dramatic savings which, due to demutualization and a shrinking market, is no longer feasible, particularly given that most brokers deal with the same insurance companies.

So how do you choose one broker from another?
