Voluntary Rep Compensation

Cost: $3,000; published 2023

Distribution is a critical component of success in the voluntary/worksite market. Companies compete for many of the same brokers/distributors, so attracting and keeping knowledgeable sales representatives to interact with brokers is vital to carriers’ success. Carriers must offer attractive compensation opportunities and support services for these sales reps.   

The 2023 Voluntary Rep Compensation study takes a closer look at how today’s carriers compensate and support their sales reps and compares responses to previous surveys where applicable to illustrate trends. With this information, voluntary/worksite carriers can compare their own sales rep compensation strategies to those of other companies active in the market and assess their competitiveness in this key area.
