What is your role at The Benefit Doctor?
In my role as a Benefits Consultant I get to help businesses tailor employee benefits that make sense, fit their budget, and employees actually understand and appreciate.
What do you love most about supporting our clients?
What I love most about supporting our clients is that once we work together, we become like family. I personally sit down with each policyholder to enroll them in their benefits, answer their questions, and help them stay within budget. This allows me to guide them in making the best decisions for themselves and their families.
What is a common challenge you help solve?
The common challenge we help solve is literally curing the pain of employee benefits. Too often, we find that benefits packages are built backwards. We take a different approach starting with a strong foundation, adding the walls, and then the roof. This means building a benefits package that fits the business owner’s budget today and refining it over time as the business grows. This approach simplifies benefits and solves a major challenge in the employee benefits world.
What’s one thing clients / HR teams don’t realize about what you do?
Many of our clients don’t realize that when they choose to work with us, we do more than just offer benefits, we educate employees in a way that makes sense and even makes the process fun. We personally handle the enrollment and work closely with business owners and HR teams to deliver the smoothest, most effective open enrollment they’ve ever experienced. This is what truly sets us apart from the competition.
What makes BenDoc's approach different from other brokers in your opinion?
Our entire approach, from start to finish, is what sets us apart from the competition. When we meet with a business owner, we use a strategic approach to understand what they’re doing and where they want to go. We keep the process simple, asking for a clear yes or no. When they say yes, we step in and educate employees in a way they’ve never experienced before. Then, we handle the enrollment process seamlessly. With the support of our back-office team, we provide business owners with the best open enrollment experience they’ve ever had. That’s what truly makes us different.
Fun fact about you outside of work?
My husband, Jason, and I have raised five children and are proud grandparents to three wonderful grandchildren. I live for the outdoors, hunting is my passion, I love chasing big deer. I also enjoy fishing, camping, live music, downhill skiing, utv riding, basically anything that will keep me outside.
Advice for anyone trying to create change and make an impact?
If you want to create change and make an impact, the first step is belief. You must believe in yourself and in what you’re trying to accomplish. Once you truly believe, you become unstoppable.
