1. Thankful for their job
John F. Nichols, the president of Disability Resource Group, Inc., writes that he is proud to be an adviser and to have the opportunity to serve my clients in securing their dreams, goals and financial futures. Prepare for their holiday with these 6 reminders and travel suggestions for Thanksgiving.
2. Thankful for their clients
Matthew Murawski, president at Halo Benefit Group, says he is most thankful for my clients patience!!! After a tumultuous period of change, advisers continue to work hard to communicate plan changes to clients and help them adhere to ACA regulations while designing a robust strategy and plan design.
3. Hopeful to serve clients in new benefits environment
I am thankful to have had a chance to work in the industry this year, and hope to do so again, responded Dan Barrett, a health care reform expert in California and AHIP-certified life & health agent.
4. Hopeful for industry stability
J.J. Flotken, partner with Caravus, wishes for clear, simplified and concrete rules and regulations for the entire industry. Further, he hopes pricing increases relax and regulatory pressures ease up so that business owners and administrators can rest easier. And to that, Flotkens personal wish is for a full nights sleep! Navigating the ACA and raising three girls doesn't allow for much rest, he adds.
5. Hopeful for a new position
I'd be thankful to find a job where I can do what I do best: manage the health plan benefits for employer groups. If an employer or broker is looking for a top notch, detailed oriented benefits administrator with superior client services skills, let me know. It will be the best Thanksgiving wish fulfilled for both of us, writes Maria Donlon, an independent insurance producer.
