Is this service free? If so, what's the catch?
Yes, all our services are free to brokers who register with us. We are paid by the carriers, so you keep 100% of your commissions. We do monitor quotes-to-sales ratios, however, and brokers who abuse the system by generating quotes and not working with BenefitMall are suspended from our site and services. To take a quote from our site and then process it through a traditional general agency, or go direct, is unethical. We hope you understand.
Aren't you really trying to eliminate brokers with technology?
No. We are committed to the broker because we believe that the broker is integral to the sale of employee benefits to the small business. Our business actually depends on your success; everything we develop is with the broker in mind. Where the client is concerned, you are the relationship owner. By using our technology and product mix, you can make that relationship - and your business - more prosperous.
Why work with BenefitMall?
We automate and outsource your tedious, time-consuming office work, reducing the administrative headaches and the overwhelming costs needed to sell employee benefits. This gives you more time to write business and satisfy your clients' needs.
