Strategic positioning CLS Partners sits within Alliant Insurance Services, leveraging a large national platform. This suggests a compelling cross-sell opportunity to offer broader employee benefits, risk management, and retirement solutions to existing Alliant clients who may require integrated consulting and tech-enabled services.

Tech-enabled value The firm emphasizes data analysis driven solutions and lists tools like QlikView, Microsoft Access, Google Workspace, and Coupa. Focus sales on expanding data-driven benefits optimization and technology consulting capabilities to improve client business performance and quantify ROI.

Growth leverage Recent Alliant hires in M&A and Employee Benefits, plus recognition as a top broker, indicate ongoing expansion and capability enhancement. Target potential clients undergoing expansion or consolidation who could benefit from CLS Partners' modernized benefits and risk management approach.

Mid-market focus CLS Partners operates with 11-50 employees, positioning as a boutique within a national platform. Develop outreach to mid-market companies that need personalized advisory, scalable benefits programs, and hands-on implementation support that larger firms may underdeliver.

Cross-sell opportunities As part of Alliant, there is potential to cross-sell employee benefits to Alliant’s existing client base and align risk management, retirement planning, and technology consulting into integrated packages, expanding wallet share and customer lifetime value.
