Who is a Good Fit for

Intro to the Employee Benefits Business?

Covid Carol

Hired since 2020, she'd benefit from additional industry context to understand the impact of her role. She jumped in at "season six" and needs to catch up on the first five seasons (i.e. gain industry knowledge + fill gaps) to maintain career momentum.

First Job Frank

A recent high school or college graduate without industry ties, he wants to learn more about the business than could be gained in the interview process. In addition to receiving entry-level professional communication guidance, he’ll be exposed to the endless career opportunities. It’s more than “just” a job.

New Hire Noah

He’s entering the industry mid-career and wants to map similarities and differences from prior experience to his new role. While his functional job skills are transferable, his success is linked to understanding how insurance brokerage firms operate and the nuances of the employee benefits client lifecycle.

Producer Paula

She’s a proven sales professional from another industry who needs to understand how insurance brokers work and how to create contrast from her competitors. Understanding the fundamentals of the employee benefits lifecycle will jumpstart her success with less training burden on her new colleagues.

Insurance Carrier Ivan

He’s experienced in the industry at large and has collaborated with brokers but would benefit from the 360-degree overview of how brokers really work. He’ll also round out his benefits knowledge by receiving an overview of the entire employee benefits lifecycle.

Just-Looking Joan

She’s heard that she should consider roles in the insurance industry but wants to learn more about what she’d be getting into. She’ll get a good overview of the brokerage business and the employee benefits business. If she decides to move forward, she’ll be interview-ready.
