Strategic Solutions to Drive Organic Growth in Your Benefits Agency

 

What used to work so well for agencies doesn’t work anymore. The Status-Quo Agency is a relic of an era now past.

Agencies no longer can compete just spreadsheeting the medical and managing the renewal. Prospecting by calling 60 days before the renewal date & asking to quote is simply outdated. The best benefits firms are providing so many more solutions – so much more value – to employers.

Do nothing to change your agency and you can be certain that you will soon be irrelevant and unable to compete. It truly is do or die.

But an agency that transforms into a NextGeneration Benefits Firm® can remain competitive in the market and achieve the key agency goals of relevance, profitability, independence, and growth.

Bottom Line Solutions works exclusively with

agency leaders to transform their agency into a


NextGeneration Benefits Firm® so they can remain…


Relevant  ♦  Profitable  ♦ Independent  ♦ Growing 

Our NextGeneration Benefits Firms not only easily beat the status-quo agencies in their markets, they are taking away groups from national houses.

 

SEE AN AGENCY SUCCESS STORY

Even as they invest in the future of their business, NextGeneration Benefits Firms are ending the year with profit margins of 25 to 35 percent while keeping a high level of client service.

 

SEE AN AGENCY SUCCESS STORY

While so many agency leaders throw in the towel & sell, NextGeneration Benefits Firms have found the answer to “What’s next?” for their agency so they can reinvent their firm, stay independent, and retain control.
