According to Eastbridge’s 2020 Brokers and Voluntary Benefits—Growth in a Changing Market Spotlight™ Report, a majority of both broker types, 59% of Benefit Brokers and 65% of Voluntary Brokers, rank administration and service as their most important criteria used to select a voluntary carrier. This is closely followed by product features/benefits.
