How We Got Started

"I want to put Mark Brodinsky on your radar if health insurance has ever felt like a maze to you — because for most people, it genuinely is one. Mark's spent over 25 years as a licensed agent, now working across 33 states, and what stands out to me is that he leads with education, not a sales pitch. He's not trying to close you fast; he's trying to make sure you actually understand what you're buying before you buy it.
He walks people through ACA and off-exchange options side by side so they can see the real trade-offs for themselves — pre-existing conditions, subsidies, small-group coverage, HSA-compatible plans, all of it laid out in plain language instead of insurance jargon.
Whether someone's between jobs, self-employed, running a small business, or just aging out of one type of coverage into another, he seems to have a way of meeting them exactly where they are.
With 42 five-star reviews and clients who've stayed with him for years — some for the better part of a decade — it's clear people trust how he operates, and more importantly, they keep trusting him well after the sale. That kind of loyalty doesn't happen by accident.
If you or someone in your network is navigating health coverage and could use a clear-headed guide through it instead of another sales pitch, Mark's the person I'd point you to."

"We all have these moments in life when change happens.
Hillary Robertson was looking at and living in an unpredictable job market, seeing how AI is changing how businesses do business, and suddenly saw a strong reason to change.
There's always a reason to change... since none of us should "remain the same." Sounds like a verse from the song Dock of the Bay:
"Look like nothing's gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same..."
Except Hillary didn't do what ten people told her to do; she decided to sail away from corporate America, working as a corporate executive administrator, and go off on her own and become a fractional executive admin, running her own show, and providing strong value to others with her expertise in helping executives and entrepreneurs manage their workload, particularly by streamlining inbox management and daily operations.
Hillary has done the heavy lifting now as well, having passed the one-year anniversary of running her own business; and as any entrepreneur knows, the first year is the toughest.
You never forget your first.
Right now, the business is called Hillary Helps, but she is looking to transition to Lumen Leadership Support in the new year, sharing her "bright light" as a beacon to assist busy business people in cutting the fluff and maximizing the profits in their business.
And what about the felines and fine music? Well, Hillary is a cat lover and also enjoys fostering other felines, since animals provide such love, warmth, joy, and emotional security. The sound of a cat purring is music to her ears, but there's also more fine music emanating from the Robertson home. Hillary's husband is a professional musician who plays guitar and keyboard in a band and has written more than 400 songs, including one on a Grammy-nominated album! He's even had a song covered by the legendary Peter Gabriel!
So how can you help Hillary "keep the music going" in HER career as a fractional executive admin? Well, pay attention in your conversations and listen for business owners or nonprofit leaders overwhelmed by daily operations and in need of executive admin support, especially those stuck in their inboxes. Hillary has a tailored approach and extensive experience to help these business owners become lean, mean, fighting (and profitable) machines! That's the sweet sound of music for any business owner!
Let's be on the lookout for purrrrrfect referral partners for Hillary as she expands her business and provides value to those who need her most! As Hillary says: "Your business shouldn't need you for every answer." Especially when Hillary has the answers you need!

A GREAT way to generate business and buzz about you is a Facebook testimonial, in which the new client says a few things about you on their personal page and then TAGS you on it, which means their friends who are not your friends (yet) see that post and then find out about you and your services!!
Example from a FB post yesterday of a client I served last week:
" REALITY CHECK// Over the past few weeks I've had the unique opportunity to be a Facilitator for "Financial Peace University"... And after a small accident that left me with a concussion last year... I sat in that ER room, and made a lot of promises AND I had a lot of "WHAT IF" thoughts! These past few weeks, I realized that not only did we need to make sure finances were in order long term (no debt, savings, investments and retirement) BUT that we needed to look at our overall EVERYTHING!!! I realized that the health plan I opted for four years ago was definitely NOT going to be adequate moving forward and we needed to change that immediately! A HUGE thank you to Mark Brodinsky who we found through the Dave Ramsey Team ~ It has been amazing to work with you! You made a "painful" process of shopping for Health Insurance Policies absolutely seamless! Less than ONE week later, my new policy and cards arrived today! It is a SERIOUS peace of mind to know that we won't have financial stress and worries around unforeseen Health Care needs! YOU ROCK!!! Thank you so much!!!"
That's the kind of social media buzz that gets your inbox humming and your phone ringing.
Have a great day!
Mark

Listen to their concerns, what they want. The client, who is also another human being, just like you will tell you all you need to know. Ask questions, show the massive value you can bring to them, talk about future contacts you will have and how you will service them moving forward. In other words, tell a story they can see in their minds. People love to buy, they hate to be sold. Everyone will find a way to pay for one thing, value. Learn their why, earn their trust, see them buy.

Whoever said limited benefits in this discussion and to read the policy, didn't read the policy. There is a step-up option to get catastrophic coverage, even in the middle of a claim. It's a very unique option. So you get first-dollar, early dollar coverage, with no calendar year deductible, a PPO provider, which means any doctor, any hospital and the ability to increase coverage when you need to.
The short conversation is you can defer the cost of more comprehensive coverage to when and if you need it with the peace of mind of knowing that it's there if you do. Why pay for the what if's until the what if's happen? And if you don't like that plan, than we have high deductible plans you can look at as well.
