Certainly, it was a key cause of stonewalling by legislators on both sides of the Congressional aisle, as neither party wants to be associated with anything that potentially hurts beneficiaries. Read more in the Benefits Selling October issue.

And, developing a business around big clients can be time consuming, labor intensive and costly. And once the client is signed up, brokers have to continue working closely with them to make sure they stay clients. But big clients are worth it.

Plus, voluntary sales overall are down from a couple years ago. Confidence has dipped. But some brokers say it’s preparing itself for future growth. Here’s how to read between the numbers of voluntary surveys.

Best regards,
