Impact of Filter Selections: where noted above, filter selections will pass through to the book of business for each brokerage.  For example, filtering to >1,000 employees and location of MI will focus in on brokers that have exposure to clients that fit that criteria.  In turn, metrics such as Total Office Locations, Total Clients, Total Employees, Total Commissions, and Total Carrier Premiums will reflect clients that are in that target market.
