Another Independent Broker bites the dust
Situation is simple. Just like all the other "Poachers" that independent brokers have had to contend with through the last 7yrs (i.e. Payroll Co's/HR Benefit platforms etc.), I am dealing with MassMutual and their Beneclick service picking up one of my groups through their "Beneclick" Benefit Mgmt platform.. So MML has their tiny 403(b) and is now implementing this beautiful platform which they can capture all their employees and benefit data and grab all my life ad&d and supp business... I need to know if they work with Independent Brokers so that I can't be shut out. It is such a surreptitious way of poaching my client and I sincerely want the very best for them but I have been dealing with their obvious need for supplemental products and their resistance based on admin and participation requirements.. These platforms are the answer. I proposed a more organic and less "blingy" vehicle but they saw it as a "marketing" product. It was eHealthapp. Honestly it was the only "like" platform that I could afford. I came in with it before MML came in with Beneclick.. So the dilemma is, I need to get appointed w/MML but I cant seem clearly identify if they work with Independent Brokers before they poach this group from me after 17yrs of faithful and dedicated service and cant watch this happen.
