Decimal Expands Sales Team To Meet Growing Demand For Its 401(k) solution, The Online 401(k)

SAN FRANCISCO (October 6, 2003) - Decimal, Inc. (www.theonline401k.com), has launched the Road to Retirement™ Network, a new 401(k) referral program that offers its members handsome cash rewards for successful small business 401(k) leads.

“For the last four years, we have been successful at selling The Online 401(k)™ through a number of distribution partners”, said Tom Zgainer, National Sales Director at Decimal. "Many of our 401(k) leads come from small business trusted advisors, such as CPAs, Accountants, Payroll Providers and Financial Advisors. Small business owners rely on those advisors to help them select the right 401(k) plan, and this is the foundation for the launch of the Road to Retirement Network.” By joining The Road to Retirement™ Network, small business trusted advisors can confidently recommend a 401(k) solution that delivers best value, true flexibility and live customer support; The Online 401(k) truly speaks to the small business owners’ needs and challenges.

The Road to Retirement Network combines handsome cash rewards with a well-supported referral program for trusted advisors who are looking for a 401(k) solution for their small business clients. “We believe that today many CPAs and Financial Advisors are hesitant recommending commission-based, asset-based 401(k) plans because these products don’t suit the needs of their small business clients; the investment selection is limited, the plan features lack flexibility and the complicated pricing structures often hide asset-based fees” said Tom Zgainer.

To help trusted advisors quickly and effectively identify, qualify and refer leads, the Road to Retirement™ Network offers a website with access to an instant 401(k) quote interface, support materials to educate their small business clients on benefits of a 401(k) plan, and a dedicated team of Regional Sales Directors, whose roles are to receive those 401(k) leads and turn them into clients of The Online 401(k).

“Decimal has experienced strong and steady growth since its inception in 1999, said President & CEO, Chad W. Parks. We now count more than 750 small business clients located in 43 states and the launch of the Road to Retirement Network is a major milestone in our growth this year. Decimal is relying on our future members of the Road to Retirement Network to help us serve more small businesses and help ensure a better financial future for million of Americans.”
