With an eighty-five percent turnover payment rate from various insurance companies many of the medical physicians who provide health care for the various sports figures do well financially. Keeping a wide birth from everyday individuals and their mediocre insurance plans all the way to the shinning star athlete many medical physicians have found a way to cope with the changing tides and remain in a lucrative business.

It was discussed in an article the ups and downs of the everyday life through the medical clinics that modified their medical practice to accommodate individuals from all walks of life. They also work diligently with some of the most ardent sports stars involving football, hockey, and basketball, while working along side the local elementary school teacher and grocery store entrepreneur.

These medical physician decorated facilities are far different from the average medical physician’s facility with the inclusion of health spas to accommodate the upcoming sports stars that are riding high. The holistic and wellness programs are becoming the shift in the medical practice and the individual health insurance companies.

Though the medical insurance companies are beginning to come around they continue to hold on to the old ways. The benefits the insurance hold steadfast to and are able to offer at this present time are very rudimentary, but at least it is a start and more than most have even now.

Individuals depending upon their medical needs are still prone to rejection and the initial coverage is very limited, but coverage it is. The low cost health insurance that is in the offering has a wide range of limited coverage and it is more affordable that most medical policies. What they are currently offering are the following:

1. Traditional eighty/twenty co-insurance policies

2. Health Savings Accounts or HSA’s

3. High deductible insurance plans

Over the years to come the modified insurance companies are in hopes of adding more amenities such as dental coverage, eye coverage, catastrophic coverage and major – medical coverage all for an affordable rate to all individuals.

The more individuals who enroll in this new affordable medical insurance package, the lower the annual premium and in turn the average monthly cost for health insurance per individual will become. Make no mistake because the expense will vary greatly not just by age and general health, but through proximity as well.

Depending on which plan the individual chooses and family member choose to cover the annual premium cost will fluctuate as will the monthly premium. Another point to consider is if the desire is to have high deductible and low monthly premiums or low deductible and high monthly premiums. These are only a few of the decision an individual must decide before enrolling into this policy.

When promotional marketing works well it can in fact cost brands a lot of money in honouring the promotion. So it is important that brands and marketing agencies consider promotional insurance as early as possible in the campaign and enlist the aid of promotional risk management companies. This is specifically true of promotional campaigns linked to a sporting event or personality.

By their very nature sporting events are very unpredictable. For example in the 2010 FIFA World Cup injuries to key football players would have seen promotional insurance premiums drop dramatically had those players not been available for squad selection. Similarly for other sporting events where the reigning champions can suffer bad form due to injury or personal problems can see their near competitors rise through the ranks. Thus the insurance premiums for the new sporting stars can increase dramatically over a short period of time. Sporting form can work the other way too. Where national teams once performed badly they may surprise during the next sporting event so promotions based on the number of gold medals won for example may prove very costly if the right insurance is not purchased.

Arguably insurance companies don’t like unpredictability and ideally want sporting events to run to form. You won’t see may promotions based around popular horse racing events.

So if you are a brand looking to promote during the next big sporting event what options are available?

1. Brands have the option of promoting the campaign themselves accepting all liabilities including the consumer redemption and all the costs in managing any physical fulfillment of the promotion, for example, packing and posting the reward.

2. Limited levels of over redemption insurance is available for brands to cover themselves in the event of an unexpectedly popular promotional campaign.

3. Ideally brands need to consider a fixed fee option which covers all the redemption, expected or otherwise, as well as the cost of packing and posting the reward to the consumers.

Third party promotional risk management companies can offer brands promotional insurance geared to the specific needs of their campaigns. For example sporting events can attract a specific sport risk insurance that promotional risk management companies can offer as good rates to brands and agencies. This type of insurance is not normally available via traditional insurance company channels. Insurance such as this is known as fixed fee and is ideal for sport-based promotions that typically have the highest rates of redemption and participation. Historically sports promotions are open to a wide range of brands who want to associate themselves with the sporting event and not just those specifically associated with the sport itself.

Brands continue to turn their attention to the next great sporting event and those like the Olympic Games attract a lot of attention due to the promotional opportunities they offer. The Olympic brand itself is protected by law but where this is the only sport this protection applies to there are always a myriad of opportunities for brands and retailers to boost sales and get to know their consumers. Brands could save themselves a small fortune if they consider the right promotional insurance.

In the U.S., there is the very real possibility that the national sport, American football, will not start its season on time because all of the players will be out on strike. What’s amazing is that the National Football League (NFL) and the players are currently more successful than they’ve ever been. The events that have lead us to this point and what happens next will provide opportunities for sales negotiators to watch and learn…

Football Has Been Very, Very Good To Many People

In the U.S., the sport of football is all about making (and spending) money. U.S. Football is the most successful professional sports league in the world. They are estimated to earn US$9B a year!

The NFL makes money in three different ways: they sell tickets so that fans can come and attend games, they sell broadcast fees to television networks so that they can show the games and sell advertising slots, and they sell corporate sponsorships to both individual teams as well as to the NFL itself.

Why A Football Strike Just Might Happen

If a strike happened, it could go on for months. When strikes like this have happened in other U.S. sports such as baseball, hockey, and basketball, billions of dollars have been lost.

The key point that may lead to a strike is simple enough: the owners and the players disagree about how to spend the US$9B in annual revenue that the sport of football generates. Right now, the owners get US$1B of that right off the top. The remaining US$8B is then split 60/40 between the players and the owners.

The disagreement has come about because now the owners want to take US$2B off the top and continue to split the remaining US$7B 60/40 with the players. The owners say that they need these additional funds because their costs have been dramatically increasing. What this means is that the players would be taking a 12.5% decrease in pay.

Just to complicate matters, the owners want two other changes: they want to play an additional two games every season (more tickets, more broadcast fees) and cut pay for rookies.

The players say that they don’t want a longer season because football is a rough sport and more games would mean that they’d have a greater chance to get injured. They are ok with the rookie pay cut, but they want the money saved to go to veteran players – not into the owner’s pockets.

What A Football Strike Would Mean For Everyone

If a football strike happens, there’s going to be a lot of money lost. First off, ticket revenue is going to vanish – if you don’t play a game, then you’re not going to be able to sell any tickets. Next, the corporate sponsorships are going to go away – if you’re not playing games, then the companies are not getting their brands out in front of potential customers and so they are going to have to find other places to spend their money.

It’s not quite clear yet, but there is a good chance that a federal judge may require the football team owners to place at least part of their US$4B in television broadcast-rights fees into an escrow account until things get worked out. If they don’t have access to this cash, at least some of the owners are going to be scrambling to find ways to pay the loans that they’ve taken out.

What All Of This Means For You

From a sales negotiator point of view this very expensive possible strike should provide all of us with a fantastic learning experience. As I’m writing this article, both sides have already been in negotiations for over 10 days. They’ve agreed to extend negotiations by a week and the talks continue.

What you should be looking for is what both sides say publicly. The press will be used to communicate bargaining positions to the other side. We should also watch to see what both sides actually do: are they preparing their members for a strike to happen, are they telling them that it’s going to be a long strike?

Most of us won’t be negotiating a US$9B deal anytime soon. However, all of the standard rules of a sales negotiation apply here: you need to prepare for the negotiation, power is a fluid thing that will change sides many times during a negotiation, and it’s always better to show up with a good team that knows their roles.

Watch the news, read the newspaper and take it all in. Hopefully they’ll find a way to resolve this issue and the U.S. football season won’t be impacted, but no matter what happens we’ll all be better negotiators once it’s over!
