If you’re not already selling Large Group, you’re missing out on big opportunities.
While Large Groups do represent potentially more work – with more people to talk to, longer and larger enrollment meetings, and, often new online enrollment technology – they also offer you the chance to earn more, possibly much more, income.
You may be closer to your first Large Group sale than you realize, particularly if you are a Nevada broker. That is because Large Group in Nevada starts at 51+ employees. So, one of your existing Small Group clients could grow and become a Large Group. (In California, Large Group starts at 101 employees.)
Below is a snapshot comparison of Large Group versus Small Group.
