About Chris Connell

For most business owners, open enrollment feels like déjà vu—another year of rising premiums, confusing options, and employees who still don’t understand their benefits… a lot like my original Medicare folks. After helping over a thousand people and earning 500+ five-star Google reviews, I realized something important: My real job isn’t selling insurance—it’s simplifying it. That’s my unique contribution. I earned those reviews because I explain things in a way people can finally understand. But the confusion doesn’t start at retirement. Every year, inside small and mid-sized businesses, the same pattern repeats: Employees get a packet and a deadline. Owners get rising costs, frustrated teams, and no clear answers. That’s why I partnered with Taylor Insurance Services, a leading employee benefits firm. Together, we’re bringing the same patient, education-first approach that made me a top Medicare advisor into the world of Employee Benefits- How I Help Business Owners Control Costs: Implement innovative strategies—including our proprietary Spectrum level-funded plan—to stabilize premiums and return unused dollars to the business. Retain Talent: Design modern, competitive benefit packages (Health, Dental, Vision, Life) that attract and keep great employees. End the Confusion: Deliver clear, hands-on communication so employees actually understand—and value—the benefits you’re investing in- A Unique Advantage Because of my Medicare background, I personally guide your senior employees through the transition from your group plan to Medicare—ensuring they’re cared for even as they exit your payroll. That continuity of care builds lasting trust between you and your people- When I’m not advising clients, you’ll find me on my backyard pickleball court—a game of strategy, anticipation, and keeping your eye on the ball. Those same principles guide every decision I make for the businesses I serve. If you’re looking for a benefits partner who replaces industry jargon with straight talk—and treats your business with the same care I’ve given to hundreds of families—let’s connect.
