✨ Give your employees more control with voluntary benefits! Optional perks like accident coverage, critical illness plans, or disability complement core health benefits and help fill coverage gaps. Typically payroll-deducted, they give employees peace of mind when life throws the unexpected. At BB4B, we help brokers deliver these benefits with clear guidance so employees know exactly how to use them when it matters most. 💡 Ready to see how voluntary benefits can elevate your client offerings?

Imagine this: Q4 arrives, and suddenly everything feels urgent. Deadlines are tight. Participation is lagging. Teams are stretched thin. But here’s what Q4 taught us: Most enrollment problems don’t start in Q4 — they surface there. Across teams, we saw the same pattern: Enrollment stress was usually tied to decisions that happened months earlier — delayed planning, unclear timelines, or groups that weren’t fully prepared for what enrollment would require. When enrollment is rushed, brokers aren’t solving problems — they’re managing risk. The groups that fared best weren’t perfect. They were prepared. Q1 is where that preparation actually happens. Not when enrollment opens — but long before it feels urgent. Enrollment shouldn’t be a fire drill. It should be a process you control. And Q4 made that clearer than ever. 👉 Planning for your next enrollment season now? Book a demo and let’s talk before timelines tighten.

Open Enrollment isn’t just checking boxes—it’s about helping employees feel confident in their benefits choices. In fact, more than half of clients say education is their top priority. When employees truly understand their options: ✅ Participation rises ✅ Confusion drops ✅ Satisfaction soars At BB4B, we give brokers the tools to make that happen: ✔️ Clear, tailored enrollment guides ✔️ Easy-to-digest FAQs ✔️ Interactive explainer sessions With education at the forefront, Open Enrollment becomes easier for HR, more impactful for brokers, and empowering for employees. 🚀 Ready to make this your smoothest Open Enrollment yet?

Imagine starting the year knowing enrollment support is handled — before things get busy again. After everything Q4 throws at brokers, one thing becomes clear fast: The right support isn’t about doing more — it’s about doing enrollment better. At Building Blocks for Business, our role is simple: We operate as an extension of the broker’s business. We don’t replace brokers. We don’t compete for their clients. We protect their relationships by handling enrollment with care, education, and accountability. As brokers look ahead to new groups in 2026, Q1 is an opportunity to reset enrollment expectations — for clients and employees alike. And to make that even easier, we’re offering a Q1 broker incentive: $1,000 for each new group brought on that completes enrollment. The incentive matters — but the partnership matters more. If Q4 taught us anything, it’s this: Strong enrollment support isn’t a “nice to have.” It’s essential. Here’s to a smarter, smoother enrollment year ahead. If you’re bringing on new groups this quarter and want enrollment handled the right way, let’s connect. Book a demo to learn how our Q1 broker incentive works and how we support you behind the scenes.

Let’s be honest: enrollment today isn’t what it was five years ago. Employees are remote. Participation is harder to drive. Compliance pressure is higher. And technology alone isn’t solving the problem. What we saw in Q4 confirmed it: The biggest enrollment issues aren’t about systems — they’re about education and execution. Employees don’t disengage because they don’t care. They disengage because they don’t understand. That’s why enrollment support has to be more than emails and portals. At Building Blocks for Business, we focus on: • Clear, unbiased benefit education • One-on-one employee meetings • Non-discriminatory, compliant enrollment processes • Accurate reporting that protects payroll and the broker-client relationship For brokers, this means fewer fires to put out — and more confidence that enrollment is being handled the right way. Enrollment shouldn’t create risk for brokers. It should reduce it. And Q4 made that clearer than ever. Enrollment challenges aren’t going away — but they are solvable with the right support. Follow us for real-world enrollment insights brokers can actually use.

Imagine this: Q4 enrollment is in full swing. Your client’s workforce is spread across multiple states. Participation is slipping. Employees are confused, missing meetings, or putting off decisions. And suddenly, enrollment isn’t just an administrative task — it’s a risk. This is exactly what many brokers faced in Q4. Behind the scenes, enrollment challenges don’t show up as “big problems” at first. They show up as missed appointments. Incomplete elections. Data discrepancies. Payroll questions after enrollment closes. That’s where the right enrollment partner makes the difference. At Building Blocks, Q4 meant: • Coordinating schedules across time zones • Educating employees one-on-one — not just sending links • Catching issues before they became compliance problems • Delivering clean, accurate reporting brokers could trust The result? ✔ Higher participation ✔ Fewer post-enrollment issues ✔ Brokers protected — not pulled into the weeds Enrollment isn’t just a season. It’s where broker trust is either reinforced or quietly eroded. Q4 reminded us of one thing: when enrollment is handled right, everyone wins — especially the broker. Q4 was tough for a lot of brokers. Don’t take our word for how we handled it — our 5-star Google reviews speak for themselves.
