In communications with other plan providers, clients, and potential clients, you have to be clear. There isn’t much room for miscommunication. When dealing with clients, miscommunications can lead plan sponsors to some huge mistakes.
Everything you write or say must be clear, there can’t be room for misinterpretation because the stakes are pretty high. I’ve seen too many plan sponsors that were harmed because the third-party administrator wasn’t clear on the information needed for an end-of-year census.
If you tell people what you need and what they need to know in clear language, a lot of mistakes will be avoided.
