Welcome to Group insurance Online
Our mission is to enable Advisors that sell Group insurance in Canada to spend more time focusing on their clients, and less time on administration. We achieve this by providing an online portal for Advisors, completely free of charge, that streamlines the Request For Proposal (RFP) process. In addition we provide comprehensive learning materials around core Group insurance concepts, written in an easy to understand style that can be shared with both colleagues and clients. We also blog about industry trends and initiatives, provide our own GiO-pinion on areas related to Group insurance and discuss recent industry news.
