Why Our Seminars Are The Best In The Industry
 
   

Unfortunately, the vast majority of seminars and conferences that are conducted in our industry each year can best be described as "social gatherings" in contrast to "meaningful learning experiences". Although attendees usually pick up a few tidbits of knowledge at these events, these tidbits almost always have no impact as far as the attendee's job effectiveness or their company's business results are concerned. If you glance at the audience during any of these events you'll notice that virtually no one is taking any notes! In stark contrast, the seminars conducted by S. M. Snow & Associates, Inc. provide attendees with valuable information that will significantly enhance their their job skills which in turn will greatly benefit the company they work for.

The enormous success that we've enjoyed over the years is due to the unsurpassed quality of our programs. Some additional differences between our seminars and the seminars and conferences offered by other organizations are shown below:

NOTE: IF YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT ATTENDING OUR "BULLETPROOF STRATEGIES IN UNCERTAIN TIMES" SEMINAR OR OUR "ADVANCED EXPERIENCE RATING TECHNIQUES" SEMINAR JUST READ ON. HOWEVER, IF YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT ATTENDING OUR "COST-CONTROL BOOT CAMP" SEMINAR SKIP TO THE NEXT SECTION WHOSE TITLE IS IN GREEN INK.

Difference #1: The vast majority of industry conferences/seminars in the group health insurance industry rely on presenters that are either consultants or they're employees of your competitors. Consultants view these programs as marketing opportunities and are very reluctant to provide too much information for fear of jeopardizing potential consulting assignments. Your competitors must be "tight lipped" to protect any competitive advantages that they presently enjoy. At a seminar or conference, consultants and your competitors are NOT going to provide you valuable information like rating factors, formulas, and specific strategies that you can use to improve your company's business results! As a result, these programs are of little or no value to attendees.

In contrast: S. M. Snow & Associates, formerly a full-service actuarial consulting firm, devotes 100% of its resources to the development and enhancement of its training seminars. Since we're not a consulting firm looking for work, or one of your competitors, our attendees can be assured that they'll receive unbiased and comprehensive information on each subject presented, not just a scrap of information to spark their interest! We'll provide you with rating factors, formulas, and specific strategies that you can use to improve your company's business results! Unlike our competitors, we have nothing to lose (and everything to gain) by providing our attendees with the detailed information they need to be successful!

Difference #2: Most industry conferences/seminars involve a fairly large group of presenters with varying degrees of knowledge and presentation skills. Virtually all of these presenters are unpaid volunteers, therefore, there is little or no incentive for them to put a great deal of time and effort into the preparation of their presentations. A typical presenter usually spends only a day or two of their time to develop their presentation.

In contrast: The programs presented by S. M. Snow & Associates involve one highly talented presenter who has an exceptional background, and is extremely well prepared. Mr. Snow invests well over 1,000 hours into the development and continual enhancement of each of our seminars.

Conducting training seminars is not merely one of our sidelines, it's our entire business! If you'd like to attend a seminar where you'll actually learn a great deal of valuable information, our seminars are for you!

FOR THOSE OF YOU THINKING ABOUT ATTENDING OUR "COST-CONTROL BOOT CAMP" SEMINAR OR OUR "MAXIMIZING YOUR SUCCESS UNDER HEALTH CARE REFORM" SEMINAR, THE FOLLOWING APPLIES TO YOU:

Difference #1: The vast majority of industry conferences/seminars in the employee benefits industry rely on presenters that are either consultants, your peers, or they're employees of companies who are promoting a product or service. Consultants view these programs as marketing opportunities and are very reluctant to provide too much information for fear of jeopardizing potential consulting assignments. Presenters who are trying to sell you a product or a service are usually providing information that's extremely biased. As a result, these programs are of little value to attendees.

In contrast: S. M. Snow & Associates, formerly a full-service actuarial consulting firm, devotes 100% of its resources to the development and enhancement of its training seminars. Since we're not a consulting firm looking for work, or trying to sell you something, our attendees can be assured that they'll receive unbiased and comprehensive information on each subject presented, not just a scrap of information to spark their interest! We'll provide you with highly effective strategies that you can use to reduce and effectively manage your company's health plan costs! We have nothing to lose (and everything to gain) by providing our attendees with the detailed information they need to be successful!

Difference #2: Most industry conferences/seminars involve a fairly large group of presenters with varying degrees of knowledge and presentation skills.
