Voluntary Rep Compensation
Cost: $2,500; published 2020
In the voluntary/worksite market, distribution is a main area of competitive advantage, as sales results often correlate with the depth and breadth of a carrier’s distribution channel. In addition, because companies compete for many of the same brokers/distributors, having knowledgeable and loyal sales reps to interact with brokers is vital to success in the industry. To create sustained sales growth, carriers need to keep their sales reps happy, which requires continually reviewing and developing attractive compensation opportunities and support services.
The 2020 Voluntary Rep Compensation Spotlight™ report takes a closer look at how today’s carriers are currently compensating and supporting their sales reps and compares responses to previous surveys where applicable for trending purposes. With this information, voluntary/worksite carriers can compare their own rep compensation strategy to that of other companies active in the market and assess their competitiveness in this key area.
