Listen to interview with host Eric Dye & guest Keith Clark discuss the following:
- As long time strategy consultants for the 401(k) industry – providing consulting insight on best practices for running a successful business – how did you build your business in the 401(k) marketplaces serving businesses of all sizes?
- Was there an epiphany related to moving from a brick and mortar environment to a 100% virtual environment? What were some of the challenges and what makes this environment successful?
- How do you win new business – what is your marketing and sales strategy?
- Many of our listeners either have a 401(k) plan or are thinking of starting a 401(k) plan – what should their process be in hiring their service providers or reviewing their service providers?
- You mention fees as part of your answer – explain how some low cost providers are receiving more revenue in addition to how they sold their fee schedule? How does a buyer know what questions to ask related to their service provider?
