One of the best ways to help clients know they have the best plan option for themselves, and their team is to offer more plans from more carriers. This allows your clients to see a range of possible benefits, this puts them at ease and helps you transition the conversation from cost to actual benefits, coverage, and educating the client about their choices. In turn, these added benefits help you generate more revenue and potentially grow your book of business.
