A study finds 42% of voluntary employee benefit marketers say their voluntary sales so far this year have been higher than expected.
Last year at this time, 34% of companies said they were ahead of what they planned, while 31% ended 2007 ahead of plan, according to the study by Eastbridge Consulting Group Inc., Avon, Conn.
According to the survey, 6% of voluntary benefit companies said their results to date so far in 2008 are “much higher” than expected, and another 36% said their sales were “a little higher.”
Eastbridge found the most frequently cited reasons for the higher-than-expected results were:
– More new cases than expected.
– A higher number of producing brokers and reps.
