Case Study: Cornerstone Group achieves $40K–$60K in extra fee-for-service revenue and stronger client retention with Zywave's HRconnection

Why Cornerstone Group chooses HRconnection

Cornerstone Group, led by Frank Mayer, needed more than a “one‑trick pony” benefits administration tool — after spending roughly $40k trying to build an in‑house system, the agency lacked an architectural blueprint, recovery plan and support capability. They sought a robust, tightly integrated platform with an excellent user experience and strong vendor support to compete, retain clients and add year‑round HR services.

Cornerstone selected Zywave’s HRconnection for its integrated applications, intuitive UX and hands‑on support (project manager, training, data uploads, 1:1 setup and marketing help). The platform created natural exit barriers and proved ROI, enabling $40–60k in fee‑for‑service revenue, a recent win of a 550‑employee account that generated $150k commission, and client savings estimated at 150–200% versus other benefits platforms.
