Broker/Consultant Mentality - Objections Historically core benefit focused Belief – many consultants don’t buy into it. Don’t want us diluting the value of benefits Healthcare Reform threatens Brokers livelihood Health Insurance covers everything medically but not everything financially Spreadsheets can be helpful Decisions are made based on contractual provisions VB products are not mirrors of each other Pricing models - voluntary benefits are a poor value – for right or wrong Don’t like heaped commissions Many consultants like levelized commissions. Need predictable revenue. The way they are compensated doesn’t fit into the traditional VB model. Voluntary benefit counselors push too much product on employees Billing and administration not worth the headaches – it jeopardizes my client 8 Brokers and Consultants Barriers to Voluntary??

The Challenge! Get past the prejudice, get past the pricing, get past the spreadsheet – and let’s find a solution for your client! 9

Do your clients still… enroll their benefits on paper? manually key in employee elections? pay for communication services? Administration Are your clients…. paying for ineligible dependents on the benefit plans? bogged down with ongoing plan administration? having difficulty with new hire processing? 19 Get into their Heads Talk Their Language Feel Their Pain
