Technology remains key to unlocking open enrollment.

Growing your book of business is that much easier with the addition of a benefits administration software. And agencies with a solution are using it to their advantage. Nearly 75% of agencies surveyed pitch benefits administration technology when going after new business.
Take it a step further to set yourself apart from the rest — offer the service for free. Consider this: 59.43% of employers say they are more likely to choose a broker who offers a free benefits administration technology solution. We all love a good deal, right?
The secret to winning new business? Ease.
The elimination of paper forms is only the first step. Make it to the top by becoming the ultimate business solution for employer groups. Employers’ responsibilities don’t stop at benefits. Payroll and HR are huge components for your clients’ businesses. The numbers don’t lie — 40.83% of employers note payroll integration is a key feature when considering new technology.
