Group comes of age: any organization of people - even bank customers - can be a fertile market for group insurance sales
Article Abstract:
Group insurance is growing due to employer demand because such programs enable companies to cut their expenses as low as that of the competition. Group plans are also preferred because they offer group members a discount in addition to the opportunity to spread out premiums via payroll deduction without costly finance charges. Insurers are advised to organize group business as a separate entity and to introduce a full product line that goes beyond the company's usual offerings in order to gain competitive advantage.
