Let’s face it—being an insurance advisor can be tough. You’re competing with countless other advisors who are offering the same basic packages, from group health to dental and life insurance. So how do you stand out? One powerful way is by offering something a little different—health and wellness spending accounts (myHSA, myWSA and myFlexplan). These flexible, customizable benefits aren’t just a cool perk; they can be a game-changer for your clients and a way for you to differentiate yourself in a crowded market.
Why Standing Out Matters
When you’re in a market where everyone is selling the same thing, it’s easy to get lost in the shuffle. That’s why you need something that makes you memorable and adds real value to the businesses you work with. myHSA plans offer just that. They give employers a way to offer flexible benefits that employees love, while keeping costs predictable. And for you, they’re a golden opportunity to bring something fresh to the table that others might overlook.
How Health and Wellness Spending Accounts Can Give You the Edge
You’re Offering Benefits Employees Actually Want
Today’s workforce is diverse, and so are their needs. Instead of a “one-size-fits-all” benefits plan, health and wellness spending accounts let employees pick and choose what works best for them. Whether it’s covering mental health support, fitness programs, or even non-traditional therapies, you’ll be providing a solution that’s flexible and in tune with what people really want.
You’re Giving Employers Flexibility and Control
Small business owners want predictability when it comes to costs, but they also want benefits that employees appreciate. Controlling cash flow through a pay as you go model, along with distribution schedules to mitigate big spending at the start of the year can help small businesses with both predictability and control. Health and wellness spending accounts strike that perfect balance. Employers set a budget, and employees decide how to spend it. When you can explain this level of control and flexibility, you’ll be seen as a trusted advisor who gets what businesses need.
You’re Helping Clients Keep Their Teams Happy and Engaged
Employee retention is huge these days. Businesses are always looking for ways to keep their teams satisfied, and a personalized benefits plan with myHSA can make all the difference. By introducing our health and wellness spending accounts, you’re offering a tool that helps employers keep their employees happy and engaged—something every business owner wants.
You’re Bringing Some Tax Benefits to the Table
Let’s be real, everyone loves tax savings. With these accounts, employers often get to deduct contributions, and employees can enjoy tax-free benefits (depending on the setup and location). Being able to explain these perks makes you look like a financial whiz and gives your clients one more reason to listen to what you have to say.
You’re Positioning Yourself as a Go-To Expert
Not every advisor is out there offering health and wellness spending accounts—or fully understands how they work. By mastering the ins and outs of our plans, you can become the go-to expert. When clients realize you’re bringing something unique and valuable to the table, and with myHSA, they’re more likely to stick with you and refer others your way.
