OPPORTUNITIES

Workers comp
Insurance firms that specialize in workers compensation insurance should hold strong in the coming year. After experiencing a pandemic-induced shock in 2020, the workers comp industry has since been steadily gaining back ground, and is even expected to see growth in 2023.
- Learn more about the outlook for the workers comp industry in 2023.
Real estate investment firms
Coming off the real estate frenzy of the past couple of years, real estate investment firms should have cash in hand. As the real estate market decelerates, despite higher-than-we’re-used-to interest rates, real estate investment firms have a shot at capitalizing on investment opportunities in the market, and real estate investment brokerages and syndication companies will have the opportunity to cater to savvy investors.

ESG consulting firms
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) is a hot topic in finance these days, and though a standards board was created a little more than a year ago, there’s a lot of important, and difficult, ESG-related stuff that CFOs are increasingly focused on sorting out. Firms that can help companies in this area should have plenty of business in coming years.

We recently celebrated the retirement of one of FSM’s sales experts, Barry Thomason. His wisdom was critical in helping us grow FSM, and is just as valuable now as ever. Check out this video for some excellent advice from Barry on how to drive health discovery conversations.
