Stuck between rising client demands and flat renewal rates?
The situation this course is for
You're managing complex benefit portfolios where small inefficiencies compound, underperforming renewals, margin leakage in tiered plans, and reactive pricing decisions. The pressure to retain clients while improving profitability grows every cycle, but most revenue growth tactics ignore the nuances of benefits consulting. Generic sales training won't fix structural margin drift. Without a tailored system, you're leaving revenue on the table every quarter.
Who this is for
Strategic benefits account managers driving retention and margin growth in competitive markets
Who this is not for
Entry-level brokers, insurance generalists without portfolio ownership, or those focused only on new client acquisition
What you walk away with
- Diagnose hidden margin leakage in existing benefit portfolios
- Apply pricing tier frameworks that increase client stickiness
- Build retention playbooks using renewal cycle analytics
- Identify upsell triggers based on employer lifecycle signals
- Deploy a data-backed negotiation strategy for renewal cycles
