Your benefits plan can be a powerful strategic advantage for your business. The right advisor can help maximize the impact your plan can have on your company, but that's only going to happen if your benefits package creates a win-win situation for both you and them.
Most benefits brokers aren't truly concerned with whether or not you get the best benefits plan for your business. They work on a commission-based model, which means that their goal is to sell you a plan, collect their paycheck, and disappear until it's time to do it over again next year.
