SHAKER HEIGHTS, Ohio - Jan. 2, 2014 - PRLog -- Are You Ready For a Prosperous and Profitable New Year? - 2014 Will Be The Year of Survival of the Fittest for Employee Benefit Brokers! See our 5 Suggestions below for making this a GREAT YEAR while meeting your current and potential Client's needs - now is the time to act:

1) Offer Voluntary Benefits: Gain revenues from Groups and Individuals providing Employers an opportunity to broaden the Plans, Programs, and Services they offer their Employees on a contributory basis or at the cost of the Employees. Help assist Employees and their Families in filling the financial Gaps and Holes created with their new Health Insurance Plans.

The Individual health insurance market is rapidly growing. More and more Insurers are now beginning to meet the needs of this marketplace! Provide plans for Individuals to fill the financial Gaps and Holes in the base Health Plans in which they are participating.

2) Hit Your Target Markets: Refine, Define, and Reach your target markets! Efficiently and cost-effectively reach your markets. Every marketplace has competition! Review where you have and can be most effective. Focus on your strengths. Spend your time and resources on providing Strategies and Solutions to those Employers, Employees, and Individuals where you are most likely to be successful and profitable!

3) Utilize Internet Inbound Marketing: Add and Enhance your Capacities to have Qualified Prospects knocking at your doors! Utilize the Power of the Internet, Search Engines, Social Media, and SEO to drive Qualified Prospects to your Website and Landing Pages! Have your producers focus on closing these prospects.

Remember - Most traditional Outbound Marketing strategies have become expensive, inefficient, and unproductive. As Guy Kawasaki (a silicon valley author, speaker, investor and business advisor) stated, "If you have more more money than brains, you should focus on outbound marketing. If you have more brains than money, you should focus on inbound marketing".

4) Assist Employers in dealing with Obamacare (PPACA): Using your expertise - and that of outsourced services - effectively assist Employers in managing compliance issues related to reform. Offer qualified choices to your Clients by proving Strategies and Solutions! Employers, Employees, and Individuals are confused and are looking for assistance. If you do not reach-out to them,your competition will!

5) Become a Trusted Advisor: Strengthen your Client Relationships by re-positioning your Organization and Producers! Insurance "Salespeople" have gained a bad reputation. Potential Clients do not want to be sold. They want valued input and an opportunity to work with someone they can trust! Reach out to current and potential Clients with your expertise! The selling of Plans, Programs, and Services will follow as you listen and meet their real needs. This strategy will also generate valuable referrals!

2014 and Beyond offers Brokers and Consultants many opportunities. For those who are willing to make appropriate changes and embrace the future, these times of disruptive change can be satisfying and financially rewarding.
