Paychex Launches Sales Force to Boost Engagement with Financial Advisors and Plan Sponsors
ROCHESTER, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Paychex, Inc., one of the nation's leading providers of 401(k) recordkeeping services for America's businesses, today announced the launch of a new sales force solely dedicated to building relationships with financial advisors and plan sponsors.
Building on more than 40 years of successful working relationships with the business community, Paychex will help financial advisors create client opportunities to build their retirement plan businesses and also provide quality retirement plan expertise.
This new channel expansion is supported by 14 national external and internal wholesalers who will focus on cultivating relationships with financial advisors to help them gain assets. In addition, 20 regional retirement representatives will support clients with larger asset balances and employee counts.
Paychex also introduced a new enhanced service model to support the new advisor- centric environment. This includes a dedicated account manager to support financial advisors and their clients.
"Paychex is dedicated to helping financial advisors and plan sponsors alleviate their administrative burden through competitive offerings and sound expertise," said Lonny Ostrander, vice president of sales for Paychex's Human Resources Services division. "Through a wide selection of investment options, seamless payroll processing integration, user-friendly plan implementation, ongoing plan maintenance, and an investment monitoring service, Paychex looks forward to this new level of partnership with the financial advisor community."
With more than 59,000 plans, Paychex is the recordkeeper for approximately one out of every ten 401(k) plans in the United States. This has contributed to Paychex being ranked as the largest 401(k) recordkeeper by number of plans in America for the second year in a row, according to a recent national survey from Plansponsor.
