Health Insurance Mid-Year Pulse Check: Executing Growth Plays in a Fast-Moving Market
Virtual Roundtable94% of health insurers are moderately to highly confident in achieving their 2026 revenue targets. But the question is no longer whether to grow, it’s how to execute.
Join Alexander Group’s Health Insurance practice leaders for a 60-minute complimentary virtual roundtable on how leading insurers are operationalizing growth plays at mid-year: scaling channels, funding sales productivity, modernizing RevOps enablement and applying AI responsibly to improve commercial performance.
Designed for Sales, RevOps and Sales Compensation leaders, this data-backed discussion draws on Alexander Group’s 2026 Health Insurance research to surface where peers are investing, what’s working and where execution is breaking down.
Five themes driving the mid-year discussion:
- Growth priorities are shifting from strategy to execution, with New Channels, Technology/AI and Seller Productivity leading the 2026 agenda
- Channel expansion ranks as the #1 growth priority across the market, with growth shifting toward direct-to-employer engagement, TPA partnerships and alternative distribution models
- Sales expense is expected to increase by roughly 5% on average, with marketing investment shifting toward field marketing and AI/marketing analytics
- 67% of firms are increasing investment in sales intelligence tools and in sales training/enablement, while 61% are increasing investment in planning tools and customer support
- AI’s perceived impact is highest in Customer Success and Inside Sales, yet 67% cite data security as a barrier and ~65% of firms need to improve AI governance and operations

See how leaders are executing growth plays: get a clear view of the channel mix, investment priorities and commercial models peers are deploying as they shift from growth strategy to execution.

Sharpen where you invest in for productivity: see where peers are funding field activation, sales intelligence and enablement to drive measurable seller productivity rather than simply expanding cost.

Talent Development: From Super Seller to Performance Multiplier – Rethinking the Sales Manager Role
WebinarJune 23, 2026 | 2:00 – 2:45 p.m. ET | Virtual
Sales managers are operating in an environment of constant change and increasing pressure, yet when top sellers are promoted into management, the job itself is rarely reset. Managers have new expectations to lead the team, navigate change and impact culture, but time is still spent deal by deal, leaving managers with no time for anything else. The result can be lagging team performance and stalled change adoption, driven not by effort gaps but by a lack of role clarity and talent development. Sales managers need a new way forward and the organizational support behind them to succeed.
What You’ll Learn:
In a guided interview with Alexander Group consultants and through real client examples and Alexander Group insights, you’ll examine how the sales manager role has expanded. We’ll make the business case for refocusing sales managers as one of the highest leverage investments organizations can make. You’ll see how the spearhead sales manager model reframes the role from super seller to performance multiplier, shifting focus from individual deal support to sustained team development and business impact. You’ll leave with specific actions you can take after the webinar to realign roles, expectations and enablement around sales managers.
Why Attend?
You will leave the webinar with:
- A clear, research-backed point of view on how the sales manager role has changed, and how sales managers must lead differently today.
- Concrete actions you can take as a leader or enablement partner, including how to clarify sales manager job priorities, put the right support structures in place, and develop playbooks that reinforce consistent execution.
- Insight-driven guidance you can apply immediately, informed by data, research and real client work to help you better support frontline leadership.
