Rationale for the ToolKit

                                                                           

U.S benefits insurance agencies and HR consultancies are undergoing change in ways not witnessed in modern times. Factors driving such change include:

  • a continuing barrage of controlling legislation,
  • commissions being reduced
  • increasing client servicing expectations  
  • consolidating within the agency and consultancy sectors
  • increasing competition from historic and new competitors
  • consolidation occurring across most US industries thereby leaving fewer available clients

For benefit and HR client advisory firms these factors have resulted in:

  • diminishing agency / consultancy revenue streams,
  • changing sources of revenues,
  • increasing operating expenses,
  • shifting of legacy agency / consultancy internal business processes and
  • putting producers / AE’s who control client relationships at risk of desertion for a better deal down the street

 Strategically, the time is right for the agency /consultancy to create a renewed vision built around the desired go-forward culture and assigning within that culture new accountabilities to achieve desired goals. Tactically, agencies/consultancies need to identify new sources of revenue, consider improving essential processes, outsource non-essential processes, reduce operating expenses, reduce risk and find new ways of selling and relating to clients.
