In this segment, the speaker explains the strategic advantage for professional employer organizations (PEOs) of bundling multiple services—such as retirement plans, workers' compensation, payroll, HR, and benefits—into a single offering. By integrating these functions, a PEO creates higher client stickiness because it becomes harder for a small‑business client to “unplug” from the provider. Adding additional services on top of an existing bundle further deepens this lock‑in, extending the customer’s expected tenure (increasing Lifetime Value, LTV) and raising the average deal size for new customers. The speaker frames this as a deliberate move to strengthen the PEO’s relationship with clients and improve financial metrics.

Now, what are some of the things they didn't say publicly that might be behind the curtain for why this is a good strategic move? Well, the obvious thing, right? When you're a PEO, you've really already got your tentacles into a bunch of different areas of a business. All the value that makes it appealing to a small business owner also makes it harder to unplug, right? So if I've got my retirement, my workers' comp, my payroll, my HR, my benefits, and who knows what else with a PEO, it's a little bit more difficult to unplug than if I just have my payroll with them and, you know, again, going back to the point solution thing. So if I can add another service on top of that, make it even stickier, I'm increasing not only the stickiness of, hey, here's how much longer they're going to stay with us. So I'm going to increase the LTV, the lifetime value of that customer from that alone. But then I'm obviously also going to increase the LTV based on the fact that I have a much larger deal size whenever I bring on a new customer.
