I write on this blog periodically about Zenefits. Just this week Zenefits announced that they have raised $500 million in additional venture capital. ( read more here ) In my opinion the rules of the benefits game have now changed. $500 million is a lot of money. If you have not heard of or competed with Zenefits they will show up fast, real fast, in your market. It is NOW time to take action – not a month from now or 2 months from now. By then most brokers will lose a case or two to Zenefits. According to Zenefits, “The new round of funding will enable Zenefits to build up its sales and marketing teams to help the company reach the approximately 5 million American businesses with between 2 and 1,000 employees and to scale its account staff so that it can support these new customers.” And yes, they are going up market.
I am conducting a webinar on this topic over the next few weeks. Any benefits broker that wants to attend this webinar can register by going to my website at http://www.hrtadvisors.com. Go to the webinars section.
While I have done other webinars on this topic this webinar will be different. It will get more into where the market is going versus where it is. I think those who attend will find the time well spent. Click on the link to register. Thanks.
