Throwback: The Wood Sessions 1

Listen Later

In this throwback episode of The Power Producers Podcast, David Carothers and co-host Kyle Houck interview Clayton Wood, Managing Partner at C.B. Wood Financial. Clayton discusses how their company consistently reduces employer healthcare spending by 20-40%, and how they can assist agents not only getting more business but also maintain the accounts they already have by increasing stickiness.


Episode Highlights:

  • Clayton shares how C.B. Wood Financial found a niche in the healthcare industry, where companies with 50 to 500 people are large enough that their claims matter but too small to use large company strategies. (3:34)
  • Clayton explains the 80-20 rule in the healthcare business and how it may help firms cut plan costs while improving benefits. (8:37)
  • Clayton mentions that just by having enough strategies in their toolbox, businesses may produce huge savings for clients simply by knowing how to do it. (11:38)
  • Clayton shares that they advise their clients to stay on their existing plan if it offers unbeatable pricing. (17:48)
  • Clayton discusses how they bring in partners if they have questions they cannot answer themselves. (20:14)
