Tweetable Quotes:

  • “What we’re doing here on this four-episode series or more, if we decide to do more is just to help the P&C brokers, the audience of this podcast, just understand, that there is a way to add an extra revenue stream to their business by cross-selling.” – Clayton Wood
  • “Putting a pharmacy benefit manager that’s transparent in is really important. Nowadays, there’s a special term for them, they’re called pass through PBM’s, which means they don’t add any spread to the drugs, and they pass on 100% of the rebates.” – Clayton Wood
  • “Any P&C agency out there right now, that is not even having a conversation with their clients about benefits, whether they sell them or not, is opening up an opportunity for somebody else to come in and have that conversation.” – David Carothers
