Consulting

The book [Employee Group Benefit Insight] has been such a help to me so far such that I don’t have to do a lot of research anymore just to immerse myself in various topics related to group. even with some Alberta context I can apply it to Ontario in terms of general concepts and relatable ideas for prospects (and me) to understand.

 I wanted to let you know how much I appreciated our visit last week. Your willingness to review my health benefits and to make recommendations was indicative of your honesty, integrity and work ethic.

Your comments and recommendations, although they did not result in any compensation to you, exemplified your knowledge, experience and expertise. More importantly, you demonstrated your true passion for helping people even when it does not mean “business” for you.

I will certainly be referring anyone I know who would benefit from your services, either for employee benefits planning or for self-employed benefits.

Thank you again for sharing your time and expertise. I look forward to our next opportunity to meet.

There are only a handful of companies that set the bar high as we do in our quest to exceed the service expectations and needs of our clients each day and MP Benefits gets very high marks in both categories. We are fortunate to work with you and look forward to a long and successful relationship.

All the best.

In the hectic Alberta lifestyle we live, we do not always have time to be organized with our personal or business travel needs, that is why we exclusively use MP Benefits for our medical travel insurance, the quality and speed of their service is second to none. Typically we send a last minute email (sometimes on the drive to the airport) to MP Benefits and within an hour we have peace of mind medical coverage for where ever our travel plans take us.

Do you offer benefits? Is one of the main questions that potential employees ask. We appreciate the amazing customer service that MP Benefits has provided over the years. We find they offer sound advice and accommodate the changing needs of our growing company.

Lori Power’s company and mine complement each other. Our Professional relationship is along the lines of a strategic partnership. I have met several of Lori Power’s clients and took it upon myself to speak to some directly In order to odd their perspective to mine in writing this document.

When I asked “What Is your Professional relationship with Lori like?” these where some of the responses. “She Is extremely knowledgeable; she put together a group benefits package that met the needs of our company and our employees: “She clearly knows what she is talking about and listened to what we needed.” “Lori is always there If/when I hove questions, even If I have asked the some question ten times she explains it to me again, no problem: The words her clients used to describe her ore not only powerful and positive, they flowed out of their mouths without any hesitation and using a tone that seemed to soy “I’m so glad you asked!”

I and her clients find Lori to be professional, knowledgeable, reliable, trustworthy, energized, great listener, positive, and a welcome presence in any room. I always look forward to working with Lori Power.

We have been dealing with Lori Power of MP Benefits Inc. since February 2007. In that time, I have found her to be very knowledgeable regarding any questions I have asked about our benefit plan. She always explains everything in layman’s terms which makes it much easier to understand when a situation arises.

I am extremely pleased with the quality of service she offers our company. Lori is very dependable, easy to reach and extremely responsive to our needs.

I would recommend Lori to other companies because of my satisfaction with her and MP BenefitsInc.

We look forward to doing business with Lori for years to come.

Dedo Tiede, CCP Administration Manager

We have been using Lori Power’s company for several years now for our employee benefits. We feel that Lori has always been working for us not only when renewal time comes for getting us the best premiums, but throughout the year.

Her knowledge and expertise makes us feel confident that she is the right agent for us. Any issue that arises is dealt with quickly and efficiently.

We look forward to our continued relationship with Lori & MP Benefits Inc.

For the past 8 years, our company has used MP Benefits for our employee benefit program. We like the program for a number of reasons. We can customize the program to meet our specific requirements and requests. The program is very flexible. We have the option of carrying forward any unused funds to the next year, increasing the amount in the employees funds as we see fit, and the administration fees are very small as compared to a lot of other insurance providers. This means our money is being spent on our employees. Our employees like the program because it is a ‘health spending account’ verses ‘insurance’. Therefore, it can be a supplemental program to any employee who may have spousal coverage. payment on claims is quick. Any issues that we have had are resolved easily with one call or email to Lori Power.

Annette Kuester

The employees here at Stellar greatly appreciate the package of benefits MP has supplied us with. It makes staff feel good knowing their health care needs are taken care of. Having a plan with great coverage for both individuals and families has been a great bonus for all employees.
We would certainly recommend MP Benefits to other builders, showing them the great coverage plans, communication and due diligence the company offers for their clients.

For over fifteen years (since 2001), Academy of Learning Career College and its affiliated divisions has been nothing but pleased with Ms. Power’s high level of professionalism, customer service, and knowledge and expertise as a benefits provider.

In our experience, Ms. Power has consistently demonstrated that she is an attentive and diligent representative who prides herself on being proactive in her professional approach. As such, Ms. Power makes the effort to regularly meet with Academy of Learning executives and management, in order to ensure that our benefits plan design continuously meets the needs and expectations of our business and employees. Accordingly, Ms. Power pre-emptively researches, analyzes, and provides comparative information on the most up to date products, services and package options. As a result, Academy of Learning always knows where it stands competitively, in relation to what other businesses in the industry are offering potential candidates, and existing employees.

Shelly Ann Berezanski, Human Resources Manager

Lori has been instrumental in assisting our staff with our benefits plan, whether it be over the phone, by email, or when she travels to Yellowknife to host information sessions for our staff each year. I often seek her advice if I need clarification and she has always been able to answer my questions or act on my behalf in a timely manner.

Lori’s skills as a negotiator can definitely be seen in our budget. Most recently, our insurer proposed a 0.9% increase to plan premiums, however through Lori’s exceptionable negotiating skills, we actually received a 1.4% decrease, resulting in a savings of over $20,000 for the year.

Amy Curran, Pay & Benefits Officer

Lori has been our group benefits consultant for approximately 9 years. Our companies are wide in range and diverse. On Lori’s recommendation, about a year ago, we changed group providers to streamline our benefits to all be combined, but individual per division under one policy and provider. It came with some challenges, but with Lori’s guidance and assistance, it was fairly smooth transition.

Lori is very knowledgeable, professional, and passionate about benefits. If her assistance is needed with inquiries or issues, she is always eager to help and responds very quickly.
