Lisa Daniels worked in retail sales all through high school and college and loved the challenge of finding a solution to meet a customer’s needs.  She was then hired by Benefit Professionals the week before she graduated from college and has been there ever since.  As a child, she would never have imagined this would be what she’d end up doing, but she believes everything happens for a reason and she could not imagine a job that would be a better fit for her personality.

They assist their clients in designing a benefits package that meets their needs whether it is to attract top talent in their industry or to retain and create loyal employees.  They also monitor their clients plans on a day to day basis to make sure they are getting the most for their insurance dollar.
