Tips for Selling Large Group Insurance

- High employer contribution to premium – 90% or higher.
- High employee participation – 80% or higher.
- Carrier persistency – 3+ years with inforce carrier.
- Low claims exposure – less than 25% of claims vs. premium collected
- Employees and dependents in locations that align with provider network strengths
- Employer growth mode (new employees onboarding throughout the year)
- Ability to solve for all of your clients’ goals, solving more than rate concerns
