Data has become the richest commodity surpassing oil in value. miEdge is the leading prospect tool gathering data on employers from dozens of sources so those using it can be packed and loaded with information before meeting with a prospect. My personal favorite is current broker data and the commission they are making on the account. I spent 25 years as a benefits broker and picked up a BOR simply by saying, “did you know how much your current broker makes on your account?”. With commissions reaching six figures on accounts as small as 100 lives, this is a must have tool for brokers. The days of calling prospects 90 days before renewal are long gone. The most successful brokers come in off renewal having done hours of homework to understand what the prospects pressure points are. miEdge gives you much of the information to work in this new age environment.

Some of our vendors include ADP, Ultimate Software, Kronos, Bswift, Employee Navigator, Paychex, Workday, Paycor and many others. Some of our best clients came from companies using these vendors. Much like an insurance agent we act as a go between to help solve issues and improve your experience with vendors you may all ready be using. For Brokers: You can become a Human Capital Management company overnight. You will have access to all of the services I listed above for employers. Not to mention we become your agency back office. We handle all of your marketing efforts, social medial integration, Sales Campaigns, Employer Webinars, Client Newsletters, Sales support, Promotional materials, PowerPoint presentations, Videos and so much more. I am limited by the number of characters to what I can write. See my December post for more details. We are looking for 1, 2 or 3 brokers depending on the size of the market to have exclusive access.
