Generating Creative Ideas in the Workplace

Business, Employees, Psychology

A salesperson, for example, can come up with new ways to market their goods/services and creative ways to pitch to clients.

Why You Should Avoid Health Insurance Imitators like HCSMs

Insurance, Wellness

I get it. Money is important. Health insurance is essential. Health insurance is expensive. Why Health Insurance is Expensive The biggest reason that health insurance is expensive is that healthcare is expensive. It’s not the cost of a few stitches or a flu shot that make the premiums so expensive. It’s the cancer treatments, the transplants, the dialysis.
