In this powerful episode, Tom Quigley breaks down the real role of a benefits consultant—and why small businesses can’t afford to rely on traditional health insurance brokers anymore.
Tom outlines how most brokers are incentivized by insurance carriers, not employers, and how this creates a massive blind spot for business owners trying to contain healthcare costs. He explains the difference between selling a product and building a cost-saving strategy.
If your premiums keep rising and your employees keep getting hit with higher deductibles and less coverage, it’s time to rethink who’s advising you.
What a true benefits consultant does (hint: not just pushing a spreadsheet)
The conflict of interest in traditional broker models

“Convincing people they’re being ripped off is easy. Convincing them to change? That’s the hard part.” – Tom Quigley
