Q: How can I meet my important commitments to my workers and still stay in business?
I run a small business. In today’s economic environment, I have to spend all my time selling and struggling to meet my commitments to customers. I put off employee benefit matters. Sometimes there are difficult choices to make, but it’s a question of survival.
A: Most small business owners face this dilemma. You need to focus on attracting and keeping clients, and the time demands of doing so make it impossible to address other issues. Clearly you recognize the importance of your employees and the value of your Employee Benefit Plans in attracting and keeping them. It is also important to remember that it is nearly impossible for a small business owner to keep up with the constantly changing government issues and tax liabilities. The Broker Network is available to work with you and make the commitment to become your partner in this area. Let us be the one responsible for designing a cost-effective plan and for communicating it to your workforce.

Q: I have a broker (or I belong to an Association), but I haven't heard from them recently. What can you do to help?
A: Surprisingly this situation is all too common. Brokers “put on a good show” in order to get your business then seemingly disappear, never to be heard from again. Or you only hear from them once a year. They provide no ongoing support or carrier review to assist you as time passes. Also, being part of an Association no longer brings you any benefit or so-called "group rate."
We pride ourselves on the strong lasting relationships that we form with our clients. It is our dedicated sales support team that sets us apart as we make ourselves available throughout the year along with providing an annual renewal analysis of all benefits.

Q: I recently opened a small business. How do I get started with an employee benefits package?
A: First things first. Please call or email our office so we can speak with you and see what we can do to help. While there are many challenges and difficulties that exist when first starting a business, establishing benefits for yourself and your employees should not be one of them. The advantage of customizing a plan for your company from the beginning will assure that it meets your needs going forward and will allow your business to thrive. |
Q: There are so many insurance companies out there. How can I be sure I am with the right one?
A: With so many options available to you, it is a very daunting task trying to differentiate one insurance carrier from another. Many times people get frustrated and allow inertia to keep them with their current company or in their current plan when better options are available.
Having been in this industry for over 30 years, we have strong relationships with and understand the strengths and weaknesses of all the major insurance companies in the area. We will work with you to provide an unbiased analysis of your current benefits in comparison to comparable coverages that are out there. Sometimes we will confirm that you are exactly where you need to be. Other times, the benefits of making a change will become apparent and a move can be considered.
