Sales Idea: Supplementing Employee Benefit Plans

Workers who are fortunate to have a competitive benefits package from their employers might not know what kind of coverage they have. Do your clients know if disability income insurance is part of their plan at work? Or if they have disability income insurance, do they understand their group coverage? Help your clients understand the disability income insurance benefits they receive from their employers, and if necessary, recommend additional coverage to supplement their employee benefits. View the Supplementing Employee Benefit Plans Sales Idea Video for more information on this concept!   Sales Idea: Supplementing Employee Benefit Plans   #goldencareagent #mutualofomaha
