Why PEOs Belong in Every Renewal Conversation | 🎧 Episode 62


Published: 10.09.2026

Cassandra Novak sits down with Jim Bell III, EVP, at Abel HR to break down what today’s PEO buyers really care about—and how brokers can stay ahead with the right strategy and partner.

From flexible plan design to smarter underwriting conversations, this episode highlights how Abel HR helps brokers uncover, and close, more PEO opportunities.

“Every broker should be evaluating PEO at each renewal—otherwise, you risk losing credibility if someone else brings it to the table.”

What sets Abel HR apart:
  • Decades of PEO experience — Backed by a high-touch, personalized approach to every client
  • National reach, local strategy — Operates in 46 states with state-specific compliance and unemployment handling
  • Flexible PEO design — Customized services like health, dental, life, workers’ compensation, and retirement—without an all-in commitment
  • Streamlined platform with iSolved technology — A more seamless, efficient approach to managing HR, payroll, and benefits
Plus, you’ll learn what brokers need to gather to generate an accurate PEO quote—and how Section 125 impacts pricing, with FICA savings often retained by the PEO due to risk, making it a key negotiation factor.
