The National Association of Insurance Marketers (NAIM) was founded in 1990 as a national network of brokerage insurance agencies.
The Board of Directors recently voted to focus on expanding current production to become the premier network in employee benefits, including partial self-funding–level funding group medical, as well as group life, dental, short term disability, long term disability and voluntary products.
The group medical partial self-funding—level funding market is grossly under served by insurance agents, general agents as well as master general agents due to a lack of training, knowledge and understanding. The employer can save 20-30 percent on their premiums as well as getting back a portion of their premiums—unlike the fully insured market. The continued increase in pricing in the fully insured market at time of new enrollment, as well as renewal time, is the reason all new and renewal groups should be shown level funded plan options. Why lose a case to a trained insurance person in this market?
The Board has already secured a number of Super Managing General Agent contracts above regular General Agent (GA) and Managing General Agent (MGA), and others are being considered and will be announced soon.
Why would any MGA, GA agency or individual agent consider joining NAIM?
