Stop Quoting Spreadsheets. Use Forensic Audits to Win Clients.

Most brokers pitch self-funding as a silver bullet for cost containment, focusing on administrative fees and stop-loss premiums. But they ignore the elephant in the room: the actual claims data. If you are only trying to shave 10% off the admin fee - which represents just 15% of the total cost - you are completely missing the opportunity to find massive savings in the 85% of the pie that actually matters.My guest, Jeff Borglund, Co-Founder of IntegroIQ, joins me to explain why forensic claims auditing is the ultimate wedge strategy to win and retain self-funded clients. We break down the difference between a targeted audit and a forensic review, and why employers are choosing "ignorance" despite mounting ERISA fiduciary lawsuits. If you want to differentiate your agency and offer a cost-containment strategy that requires zero employee disruption, this is the episode for you.▶▶ Sign Up For Your Free Discovery Callcompletegameu.com/agaKEY MOMENTS(00:00:35) The Sausage Salesman: Jeff’s Unconventional Path to Insurance (00:02:19) The Forbes Article That Changed Everything (00:06:34) What is Claims Payment Integrity?
