A Letter from our CEO - COVID-19 / Coronavirus

COVID-19 represents a challenge for humanity many of us have not seen in our lifetime. While these events are unprecedented and isolating, I encourage everyone to stay in contact with their clients, prospects, team members, and partners. We are all affected by this event and I thank those who are working from home to flatten the curve.

Healthcare is at the forefront of our minds and Employee Benefits are a true value during these times. Many employers will be making difficult decisions in these next few months to reduce staff or possibly discontinue operations. There will also be industries we will rely on to accommodate our changing needs, and they will be expanding to meet demand. Insurance connects our economy, and we have confidence our Provider and Advisor Partners will play an important role in continuity and recovery.

CloudAdvisors is fortunate to be a virtual environment and our operation is working at full capacity to support our partners. We are offering additional training, specifically on digital delivery to clients.

We recognize that Advisors in sales roles may have additional capacity with fewer opportunities to schedule new meetings. We invite those Advisors to engage with the articles and videos in our knowledge base and community pages and to strengthen their digital leadership.

We foresee a necessity for businesses to connect digitally with Advisors, relying less on in-person meetings and hard copy materials. Anyone with mild symptoms needs the ability to work from home, limiting transmission to co-workers or clients but maintaining productivity.

Advisors are able to connect with clients remotely through CloudAdvisors’ platform which has the capacity to organize your data, offer new insights, produce reports, and share through web portals.

We hope to create unique virtual touchpoints for Advisors by offering new insights and matching solutions from our Provider Solution Library. We encourage everyone to take advantage of these strategies to come back stronger, more resilient, and ready to support clients in even uncertain times.

As a team at CloudAdvisors, we will be continuing our growth in the benchmarking database and Solution Library, as well as adding new features to help our partners on their journey to becoming the most efficient and effective Advisors.

To close, on a personal note I would encourage everyone to practice the following:

Self Isolation / Social Distancing for the protection of vulnerable members of our community such as our elderly and immunocompromised of all ages.

 Increase your health which will limit your personal impact and also lessen the strain on our healthcare system for those who may desperately need it.

Shift your focus to positive outcomes and help one another adjust to working from home. In downtime, focus on projects around the house, games with your children, writing, reading, educating yourself on a new topic, or connecting (virtually) with a long lost friend.

Stay Home, Stay Healthy, Stay Productive! Apart but together, we’ll see this through to the other side.

Matt Lister - CEO / Co-Founder in CloudAdvisors
