Advisen Broker Growth Playbook Drives Business Growth: To help brokers increase their revenue, Advisen has developed an innovative process of analysis, action, and results called the Broker Growth Playbook. Advisen’s Broker Growth Playbook marks a fundamental shift away from the “self-serve” model of the past, and instead takes a pro-active role in helping our clients succeed. 4 Distinct Parts of Advisen’s Broker Growth Playbook Advisen Book of Business Analysis and Opportunity Report Individual Reports created and delivered to appropriate Producers & Client Execs Advisen 36-Month Action Plan to insure consistent application ROI Report on Revenue Growth Clients engaging in the Broker Growth Playbook have identified dozens, sometimes hundreds, of accounts that are potentially underinsured, overpriced, or lack a key coverage. Each of these represents an opportunity.

The 36- Month Action Plan creates the schedule for each step of the process and the ROI Report allows both Advisen and the Broker to measure the impact to their bottom line.
