Bio
Melissa Sanders
Nicole is by far the most brilliant, detail oriented, outstanding personal trainer I have ever had the pleasure to work with. Her clear, highly educated knowledge of physiology is so far and above anyone I have ever worked with there is no question I could never be satisfied working with anyone else again. Nicole's extremely creative approach to fitness makes it fun. Yes, fun. Her positive, outgoing energy is contagious and at the same time she is carefully watching for posture, timing, form, paying attention to any prior injuries clients have to ensure maximum benefits are achieved. If you are ever considering working with Nicole expect to work hard, work smart, be efficient, be treated with respect & dignity, be motivated like never before and achieve results you did not think were possible. Nicole is brilliant and kind. She will invest in your success with you. Pick up your phone or email her and do anything she asks - you will be SO glad you did!

Nicole is the Co-Founder of the first ICHRA marketplace. It's simple to set up an ICHRA for your business. The modern way to cover your employees. Many brokers and employers want to learn more about the Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangement. We know all the market options and can help you navigate this intriguing way to offer benefits. We support the top ICHRA platforms nationally – We have done the homework and can guide you through the differences. An individual coverage health reimbursement arrangement (ICHRA) offers employers an effective alternative to the traditional way of providing health insurance to employees. Instead of providing a one-size-fits-all group plan, employers can now offer tax-free funding to employees and allow them to purchase health insurance that best meets their particular needs. Not only does ICHRA provide flexibility in how much a business chooses to spend, but it also allows for different levels of contribution. An employer sets a defined contribution amount and provides pre-tax funds the employees can use to help purchase individual health insurance. Employees choose their personal health plan adding their own pre-tax money (if necessary), and have an incentive to engage in their health. Show less

Nicole gained an extensive background and understanding of group products and enrollment processes. She is familiar with state and government laws, organizational structure and insurance industry, and market trends. While arranging initial contact and pre-enrollment discussion with the planholder and broker, she researched and analyzed the planholder's objectives, expectations, and needs to develop the appropriate strategy and implementation schedule. Nicole conducted employee benefits meetings, promoted benefits packages, and sold optional products while identifying opportunities through service calls, planholder, broker contact, and in conjunction with annual renewal. This role required extensive background and understanding of Group Insurance products (Medical, Dental, Life, Disability, Vision) and the sales process.
