Together with Zywave’s existing portfolio of solutions, the acquisition solidifies Zywave’s position as the leading provider of solutions for carriers and independent insurance agencies to help them drive business efficiency and accelerate growth.<br />
<br />
“Zywave and ITC share the same goal—to provide the absolute best tech solutions to help insurance professionals succeed in the modern marketplace,” said Jason Liu, chief executive officer of Zywave. “With the combined offerings of our two companies, we are beyond excited to bring the most expansive and innovative tools to any agency selling any type of coverage – benefits, commercial or personal lines.” <br />
<br />
Founded in 1983, ITC is headquartered in Carrollton, Texas, and serves more than 250 insurance companies and more than 9,000 agencies. The company’s products, all of which enable agency growth through greater efficiency and automation, include:<br />
<br />
</p>
<ul class="ulstyle-bullets">
<li><strong>Agency Marketing Services & Solutions </strong>– A comprehensive digital agency marketing offering that includes website design, marketing communication automation, SEO and SEM, custom content services and social media services.</li>
<br />
<li><strong>Personal Lines Comparative Rater </strong>– A highly accurate, web-based personal lines rater that automates the quoting process and enables users to automatically receive multiple quotes instantly, currently powering more than 30 million unique quotes per year.</li>
<br />
<li><strong>Agency Management System </strong>– The browser-based Agency Matrix agency management system (AMS) provides the foundation for P&C agency operations, increasing operational efficiency and simplifying day-to-day activities.</li>
</ul>
<br />
Zywave plans to align and integrate ITC’s products with its Sales Cloud offering, which includes multiple front-of-office solutions that streamline mission-critical workflows to strengthen organic growth. Within the Sales Cloud, ITC’s personal lines rating solution will be a natural complement to Zywave’s exclusive suite of existing market-leading CPQ offerings that enable more efficient and accurate quoting and proposals for employee benefits and commercial lines quoting. <br />
<br />
ITC’s AMS will supplement Zywave’s current AMS offering for employee benefits agencies with new options for the management of operations at insurance agencies offering personal and commercial insurance. Additionally, integrations with Zywave’s Content Cloud will provide further differentiation and value to all areas of ITC’s existing product portfolio.<br />
<br />
“ITC’s insurance solutions definitively round out our Sales Cloud with the most robust offering on the market,” added Liu. “We are excited to expand our services to provide solutions that meaningfully change how independent agencies operate, regardless of their specialty.” <br />
<br />
“Our partnership with Zywave marks a truly monumental moment for our joint businesses,” said Laird Rixford, chief executive officer of ITC. “Combined, our solutions have the potential to not only help insurance providers compete in the digital marketplace, but thrive in all aspects of selling and servicing the insurance consumer. ITC takes pride in the high level of support we offer our clients and remain committed to that support as we enter the next chapter.” <br />
<br />
Together with Zywave’s expansive client base, the ITC acquisition means the joint entity will serve more than 15,000 insurance organizations globally. This acquisition marks Zywave’s largest to date and fifth in just over two years, reinforcing Zywave’s continued commitment to investing in the insurance industry. Earlier this month, Zywave announced the acquisition of Advisen, the foremost provider of data, media and technology solutions for the commercial property and casualty insurance market. The Advisen acquisition coincided with the announcement of Zywave’s new investor relationship with Clearlake Capital Group, L.P. who shares Zywave’s vision to invest in the long-term strategic growth of the company, both organically and through M&A.<br />
<br />
“Zywave is committed to bringing industry’s best tech to our partners, empowering them with the tools they need to grow their business,” said Liu. “We will continue to both invest in our existing products, while also enhancing our product portfolio with new acquisitions. At the same time, we are committed to providing extensive technical support and consultative services to our partners to help them succeed.” <br />

<br />
Insurance agents spend a great deal of time entering property data into comparative rating platforms to generate a quote. ITC’s advanced property prefill technology, currently offered at no cost to Florida agents, streamlines the quoting process and reduces the number of fields an agent must fill out to generate a property quote. This technology significantly decreases the time it takes to get a property insurance quote on TurboRater, while also improving the accuracy. <br />
<br />
“Consumers don’t want a lengthy quoting process. It can be a challenge for insurance agents to generate an accurate quote within the time expectations of the modern consumer,” said Laird Rixford, CEO of ITC. “With this new feature for our Florida agents, more than 25 data points needed for a property quote, including property type, square footage, stories, pools, porches, distance to coast and even a replacement cost estimation, are prefilled instantly and automatically in less than a second. Now agents can provide a fast, accurate quote to their clients, which will help them sell more policies so they can grow their agencies.” <br />
<br />
As a 100% browser-based system, TurboRater also returns rates in an average of 15 seconds and offers other time-saving features, including quote templates and a single screen entry. To help insurance agents meet consumer demands online, ITC also introduced the next generation of online consumer rating in its TurboRater for Websites platform, which provides a mobile-friendly, insurtech-like shopping experience on an insurance agency’s website.<br />

<br />
In a survey of its readership last month, Insurance Business America asked agents about their use of technology solutions in the following categories: agency management systems, customer relationship systems, comparative rate/quote tools, marketing, website providers, and e-signature. Agents were asked to score their technology on whether it helped their agencies. The magazine designated any product or service that received a score of 80 percent or higher in a category a top technology provider. <br />
<br />
Based on the results, Insurance Business America recognized ITC as a top technology provider in the same five categories as 2016: <br />
<br />
<ul class="ulstyle-bullets">
<li>Agency Management Systems: InsurancePro</li>
<li>Comparative Rate-Quote Tools: TurboRater</li>
<li>CRM Systems: AgencyBuzz</li>
<li>Website Providers: Insurance Website Builder</li>
<li>Digital Marketing: Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Services</li>
</ul>
<br />
“To be the only company named a top technology provider in all of these categories once was an honor. To be the only company named a top technology provider for the second year in a row in the same categories is humbling,” said Laird Rixford, president of ITC. “I want to thank our agents for being part of the ITC family. We’re all in this industry together, and we’re grateful for your support.”<br />
<br />
In the last 12 months, the number of quotes rated in TurboRater grew by 49 percent, as independent agents and brokers thrive through the use of the system. The number of TurboRater users grew by 25 percent in the same time period.<br />
<br />
ITC has created and hosted almost 8,000 websites on the Insurance Website Builder platform. In the last year, marketing emails sent from AgencyBuzz have had a click-through-to-open rate that is three times higher than the industry average. ITC has helped its SEO clients more than double on average their organic website traffic in the last year. <br />
<br />
“We work hard to make our products the best they can be and provide great service to the independent agent and broker channel,” said Rixford. “I’m incredibly proud of the ITC tribe and all that they do for our clients.”<br />

<br />
When a consumer visits an insurance website that has TurboRater for Websites and gets a comparison quote for multiple companies, a Buy Now button will appear next to GAINSCO’s quote. The consumer can click on the button and complete the application process online at times when the agency is closed, at night and on weekends and holidays. Coverage starts after purchase, and the consumer receives the proof of insurance card and declaration page immediately.<br />
<br />
“We’re very excited about the launch of GAINSCO’s Buy Now functionality on TurboRater for Websites,” said Andy Jordan, senior vice president of corporate marketing and business development for GAINSCO. “We wanted to help our independent agents compete effectively with online quoting aggregation sites and large carriers who sell direct to consumers online. So we’ve partnered with ITC to bring the online buying experience right to the independent agent’s webpage. It’s honestly a win-win-win for us, ITC and our independent agent partners.” <br />
<br />
The built-in underwriting rules in TurboRater for Websites validate the risk. If the rules identify a risk as unacceptable to GAINSCO, the consumer will receive notification to contact the agent. The agent will also receive notification to contact the consumer. If the rules identify the risk as acceptable and a consumer buys the policy online, the agent gets a notification of the new policy and can instantly access the quote and policy information in his or her TurboRater account or in the carrier’s agent portal. <br />
<br />
“Thanks to how technology has changed the way we research and buy everything, today’s consumers expect personalized products and services,” said AnMarie Bozick, CIC, comparative rating product manager at ITC. “This is why we’re excited to launch this one-of-a-kind product with GAINSCO to give independent insurance agents and brokers a state-of-the-art online binding portal to meet their customers’ needs.”<br />
<br />
The GAINSCO Buy Now feature has full XML integration with TurboRater for Websites. Using its expertise in insurance website design, ITC built a quality user experience in TurboRater for Websites for insurance shoppers. The online consumer rater changes to a finger-friendly layout on mobile devices to maximize conversion rates. It is also available in multiple languages, including English and Spanish. <br />

<br />
To get an MVR, the agent enters the name, date of birth and driver’s license number into TurboRater. TurboRater passes the information to Compass through the integration. Compass then accesses the driving record from the state’s database and sends it to TurboRater, where the agent reviews and accepts it. After the MVR is accepted, the information is then populated into the quote. <br />
<br />
“Providing accurate rates to our agents is a top priority for us, and integrating with Compass helps us do that,” said AnMarie Bozick, CIC, comparative rating product manager at ITC. “By adding Compass to the list of MVR providers we integrate with, we are able to give more agents access to MVRs through the provider of their choice.”<br />
<br />
Users will need an account with Compass to download MVRs for the insureds they are quoting. This feature is available for users in all 24 states where TurboRater is available: Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, New Mexico, Nevada, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin. TurboRater also integrates with MVR provider American Driving Records.<br />
<br />
TurboRater is a browser-based comparative rater that is accessible from any Internet-connected computer. Independent insurance agents and brokers use it to automate the process of obtaining and compare insurance quotes from multiple companies. <br />

The study examines marketing investment and technology usage and its effectiveness in the insurance market.2016-05-11T09:00:00Z2024-03-19T06:52:24Z<img src="/images/blog/NewsReleases/2016-Velocify-release-image.jpg" style="width: 300px; height: 232px; float: right; margin-right: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 10px;" alt="The Techsurance Marketing Revolution" />Velocify, the leading sales acceleration platform, and Insurance Technologies Corporation (ITC), a leading provider of marketing, rating, and management software and services, today announced the results of a new joint study "<a href="http://pages.velocify.com/techsurance-marketing-revolution.html?cmp=701i00000010kAE&ls=Referral&lsd=ITCTechsuranceWhitepaper" target="_blank">The Techsurance Marketing Revolution</a>." The study examines marketing investment and technology usage and its effectiveness in the insurance market.<br />
<br />
As consumers <a href="http://www.comscore.com/Insights/Press-Releases/2015/11/comScore-Releases-2015-US-Online-Auto-Insurance-Shopping-Report" target="_blank">shift to online insurance shopping and typically obtain multiple quotes</a>, the need for agencies to react faster than the competition increases. Fortunately, new technologies are paving the way for insurance agencies – regardless of size or type – to compete and grow in an increasingly commoditized insurance world. <br />
<br />
"The digital revolution has transformed the way people buy insurance, and our recent study shows that technology has become increasingly important for insurance agencies that want to grow," said Chris Backe, director of financial services at Velocify. "We have seen how marketing automation and sales acceleration technology can work together to boost sustainable revenue, and this new research underscores the significant ROI opportunity here."<br />
<br />
The study uncovered that insurance agencies using marketing automation technology sold more policies per producer and per household, on average, and that agencies that spend more than 10 percent of their revenue on marketing were more likely to experience significant growth, regardless of their size or type.<br />
<br />
"Marketing is critical to an agency's survival and success. We've seen it, and this study shows it to be true," said Laird Rixford, president of ITC. "For agents who are investing in marketing technology, they are getting good returns and taking advantage of the huge opportunity that is available to them."<br />
<br />
However, the study also reveals a risk for insurance agencies adopting the latest marketing technologies. The study found that as the percentage of revenue spent on marketing went up, customer retention rates decreased. This shows that growing agencies may need to make commensurate investments in customer retention and satisfaction initiatives as they scale their marketing budgets.<br />
<br />
The survey of more than 1,000 insurance agencies includes the following key findings:<br />
<br />
<strong>Return on Marketing Investments</strong><br />
<br />
<ul class="ulstyle-bullets">
<li>Agencies that invest in paid marketing channels have a tendency to grow faster than agencies that rely heavily on their existing book of business.</li>
<li>Agencies that spend less than 5 percent of their revenue on marketing are almost three times more likely to experience flat revenues than they are to experience significant revenue growth (more than 20 percent year-over-year rise).</li>
</ul>
<strong><br />
Return on Technology Investments</strong><br />
<br />
<ul class="ulstyle-bullets">
<li>Marketing automation users sell 20 percent more policies per producer, and 10 percent more policies per household, on average.</li>
<li>The combined impact of lead management (which drove 43 percent more policies per producer and 13 percent more policies per household) and marketing automation ensures agencies are leveraging marketing automation to nurture customers to a buying stage and lead management to increase their effectiveness in contacting, quoting, and converting more leads into policies.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<strong>Methodology</strong><br />
<br />
The results of the study were derived from a comprehensive 20-question survey completed by more than 1,000 insurance agencies to better understand the state of technology and its effectiveness in the insurance market. Participating agencies included direct-to-consumer carriers, insurance carriers that use captive agents for selling, and independent agencies, which generally sell products from many carriers.

<br />
Embedded rating works by allowing insurance agencies to get rating services directly within their agency management system of choice, whether it be a desktop, mobile device, smart phone app, or in a web browser. Through <a href="http://www.turborater.com/products/rating/api/">TurboRater’s Rating API</a>, management system users will have instant access to the complete library of carriers offered in ITC’s comparative rating system. All client and quote data is transferred between systems without further user action.<br />
<br />
“We’re excited to launch embedded rating because it advances our goal to enable an open and growing insurance market,” said Laird Rixford, president of ITC. “Agents can now have a unified workflow within their business while using systems that perfectly meet their needs. Embedding TurboRater’s rating services within these agency management systems gives an additional 5,000 agencies and more than 20,000 users access to the nation’s fastest growing comparative rater.”<br />
<br />
The embedded auto insurance rating solution is also available for large insurance agencies to use in their dedicated management platforms. ITC is initially launching embedded rating for auto insurance and plans to support homeowners and motorcycle insurance rating later this year.<br />
<br />
“Other insurance agency software vendors are creating ever more closed environments by choosing not to work with any other software providers,” said Scott Upfield, CEO and co-founder of ITC. “We believe in an open solution and giving agencies a choice to find and use the system that perfectly meets their needs. This choice and a unified workflow is how embedded rating will give independent agents and brokers the open environment they need to grow their agencies.”<br />

<br />
Anycast DNS routes each request to the closest server, which reduces downtime for name server events and provides a faster network. It increases DNS lookups by 400 percent, which means Insurance Website Builder websites load faster. <br />
<br />
“We know the importance of fast load times and minimal downtimes. For many of our agents, their websites represent a significant portion of their business,” said Rixford. “We moved our hosted DNS services to Dyn because of their performance record and great support matches ITC’s commitment to our agents. As the only website provider in the industry to provide this level of service, we're proud to do it for every website we build at no additional cost.”<br />
<br />
The anycast DNS network also provides horizontal scaling, which deploys an additional server if one server is being overloaded and limits downtime. Because of the horizontal scaling, DDoS attacks are less likely to affect Insurance Website Builder websites.<br />
<br />
Insurance Website Builder from ITC is the largest provider of websites for insurance agencies in the United States.<br />

<br />
Working with various companies, ITC will provide telematics data to independent agents and insurance carriers during the rating process through the comparative rating system. Agents and brokers will be able to request rates in TurboRater from multiple insurers that offer telematics-monitored usage-based insurance policies.<br />
<br />
“With usage-based insurance, insurers can refine their risk assessment using actual data, which allows them to charge premiums that are more consistent with the actual exposure,” said AnMarie Bozick, CIC, <a href="http://www.getitc.com/products/rating/features/">comparative rating</a> product manager at ITC. “To effectively compete with direct writers offering usage-based insurance, independent agents need to be able to rate these policies. Now they can with TurboRater while also maintaining profitable margins for the carriers they represent.”<br />
<br />
Usage-based insurance is a growing trend in the auto insurance industry. Twenty-three states have five or more insurers that currently offer a telematics UBI program. According to a report by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, 36 percent of all auto insurance carriers will use data from telematics devices by 2020.<br />
<br />
“The next big thing in auto insurance is usage-based insurance, which is why we added this capability to TurboRater,” said Laird Rixford, president at ITC. “Usage-based insurance has been around since 2008, and consumer awareness of it has tripled in the last three years. We saw the trend growing and knew independent agents would need to rate these policies to compete. No other <a href="http://www.getitc.com/!/comparative-rater">comparative rater</a> can rate these policies at this time.”<br />
<br />
Consumers are attracted to usage-based insurance policies because they have a direct influence on the cost of their policy. These policies help carriers keep their losses to a minimum as consumers are mitigating driving behavior. The lower loss ratios improve profitability for the insurance carrier as well as the independent agent.<br />

<br />
When online insurance shoppers visit an insurance agency website that has TurboRater for Websites, they can get auto insurance quotes from multiple insurance companies at one time. The instant binding online technology then lets them purchase a policy from one of the available carriers, including Freedom National, directly on the agent’s website. <br />
<br />
TurboRater for Websites has built-in underwriting rules to make sure the risk is acceptable, and coverage is appropriately secured. Coverage starts after the consumer purchases the policy, and proof of insurance is immediately provided to the consumer. The agent is notified of the new policy and has instant access to the quote and policy information in his or her TurboRater account or the company’s agent portal. <br />
<br />
“83% of online insurance shoppers get more than one quote, according to the 2013 comScore Auto Insurance Online report, which is why we’re excited to have Freedom National join our binding online technology,” said AnMarie Bozick,CIC, comparative rating product manager at ITC. “TurboRater for Websites with its binding online technology allow our agents to demonstrate on their websites why consumers should choose independent over captive.”<br />
<br />
As the nation’s largest provider of insurance websites, ITC used its expertise in insurance website design to create a good user experience in TurboRater for Websites for insurance shoppers. The online consumer rater changes to a finger-friendly layout when accessed on mobile devices and is user-friendly to maximize conversion rates. TurboRater for Websites is offered in multiple languages, including English and Spanish. <br />
<br />
ITC is actively working to add more insurance carriers to the bind online feature of TurboRater for Websites.<br />

<br />
The insurance carriers available today for rating of auto insurance with TurboRater in Michigan include Arrowhead General Agency, Progressive, Sierra Economy and Titan General & Traditional Insurance. ITC is actively adding more carriers to TurboRater for launch in the next few months. <br />
<br />
“We’re excited to give independent insurance agents in Michigan more choices in comparative raters by adding Michigan to the list of states where TurboRater is available,” said AnMarie Bozick, CIC, comparative rating product manager at ITC. “Made using the latest in technology, TurboRater is a top comparative rater in its available states, and we believe Michigan agents will recognize how it will improve their productivity and help grow their agencies.”<br />
<br />
TurboRater is a web-based comparative rater that independent insurance agents use to automate the process of obtaining insurance quotes from multiple companies, which helps them fulfill customer demands instantly and accurately. It saves agents time with a single screen data entry and requires no manual software updates since it is web-based, so the insurance rates are accurate whenever an agent provides a consumer with a quote.<br />

<br />
TurboRater’s integration with ITC’s digital agency marketing tools Insurance Website Builder and AgencyBuzz gives agents a strong online presence where consumers are shopping for insurance and allows agents to set up email marketing campaigns for automatic follow up on quotes when they save the quote in TurboRater. <br />

<br />
The study revealed that larger, more successful agencies tend to be more frequent users of sales and marketing technology. Additionally, their investment in these tools is likely to grow compared to smaller agencies and to those whose revenues are stagnant or shrinking. The results point to a technology-related performance gap in the insurance industry, which will only continue to grow, according to the investment plans of the agencies surveyed. <br />
<br />
However, the report also found that many of the most effective sales and marketing technologies are still underutilized by agencies of all sizes, creating an opening for industry laggards to leap to the forefront. The survey of more than 1,000 insurance agencies includes the following key findings: <br />
<br />
<strong>Revenue and Productivity Gains</strong><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>- Agencies that rely heavily on sales and marketing technology tend to have greater revenue growth and sell more insurance policies per producer (up to 43 percent more) and per household (up to 13 percent more).</li>
<li>- Heavy users of technology are two times more likely than non-users to have better sales processes.</li>
</ul>
<strong>
<br />
Widening Technology Gap </strong><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>- Agencies with <strong>significant revenue growth </strong>were <strong>34 percent </strong>more likely to report plans to increase technology investments than were agencies with declining revenues. </li>
<li>
- <strong>Direct-to-consumer </strong>agencies were <strong>26 percent </strong>more likely than independent agencies to report plans to increase their technology investments. </li>
<li>- <strong>Agencies with 100 or more employees </strong>are <strong>93 percent </strong>more likely, on average, than those with 10 or fewer employees to use each technology. </li>
</ul>
“Technology has transformed the insurance industry for both buyers and sellers. Our goal with this study was to uncover the technologies that will help agencies effectively grow and compete in this evolving marketplace,” said Velocify CEO and President Nick Hedges. “We are deeply invested in the success of our clients in the insurance industry, and we want to continue to offer new ways for them to rise above the competition.”<br />
<br />
“The results of this survey have confirmed what we see in the industry every day,” said Laird Rixford, president of ITC. “Agencies who commit themselves to adopt and then actually use technology are successful. Consumers have high expectations of the companies they do business with. For an agency to have success today and continued success in the future, they need to invest in technology throughout their organization.” <br />
<br />
<strong>Opportunity to Capitalize on Technology Open to All Agencies</strong><br />
<br />
Despite the widening technology gap, opportunities still exist for smaller captive and independent agencies to compete, if they pay attention to what works and invest wisely. The study showed strong correlation between heavy technology use and increasing revenue and productivity in four main technology categories - automated dialers, marketing automation, lead management software and CRM software. <br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>- Agencies that used <strong>lead management software </strong>sold <em>43 percent more insurance policies per producer </em>and <em>13 percent more per household</em>. </li>
<li>- Agencies that used <strong>automated dialers </strong>sold <em>43 percent more policies per producer</em>, and <em>7 percent more per household</em>.</li>
<li>- Agencies using <strong>CRM software </strong>saw a smaller uptick of <em>15 percent in policies sold per producer </em>but sold <em>11 percent more policies per household</em>, second only to lead management software.</li>
<li>- Similar to CRM software, <strong>marketing automation </strong>had a greater impact on policies sold per household – <em>driving a 10 percent increase</em>. </li>
</ul>
<br />
Despite these benefits, usage of lead management software, automated dialers, marketing automation and CRM software remained relatively low in terms of usage across all types and sizes of insurance agencies. For example, among direct-to-consumer carriers, insurance carriers that use captive agents for selling, and independent agencies, more than 70 percent in each group did not use automated dialers at all. While lead management software saw somewhat higher use across the board, only about 70 percent of agencies with more than 100 employees used this technology.<br />
<br />
<strong>Methodology</strong><br />
<br />
The results of the study were derived from a comprehensive 20-question survey completed by more than 1,000 insurance agencies. The survey focused on the use of six major sales and marketing technologies: marketing automation, lead management software, CRM software, automated dialers, comparative raters/rating engines, and agency management systems.

If the organization’s compliance department edits the content change, the edited content is made live instantly, and the agent is notified, including why the department edited the content change. If the compliance department rejects the content change, the agent is notified of why it was not accepted.<br />

“We found that producers were sorting on premium and writing business with the companies that were listed first even if the agency principal’s preferred carriers were only dollars higher. Now, agency principals can control which carriers will appear at the top of the list,” said AnMarie Bozick, CIC, comparative rating product manager at ITC. “This ground breaking feature has reset the standards in selling insurance by putting value back where it should be… on the service and relationships with the carriers.”<br />

For example, an insurance agent can use TurboRater to generate a quote and then send the quote and client information to ProFiles for recordkeeping. If an existing client wants a new quote, the agent can start the quote process by sending the client’s data from ProFiles to TurboRater.<br />
<br />
“Agents who use both TurboRater and ProFiles can take advantage of this integration to provide better service to their clients, save time, reduce data entry and minimize errors,” said AnMarie Bozick, CIC, comparative rating product manager at ITC. <br />
<br />
The integration makes the consistency and accuracy of information better because agents are not entering data into both systems manually. TurboRater integrates with more than 25 agency management systems. For a full list, visit www.getitc.com/products/rating/features/integration. <br />
<br />
“We’re excited to offer our customers the ability to integrate seamlessly between ITC’s TurboRater and our management system,” said Khai Nguyen, CEO at Record Guardian. “The bridge saves time and improves the interface between our customers and the carriers they represent.”<br />
<br />
As a web-based system, TurboRater automates the quoting process for agents so can they can provide multiple quotes and fulfill requests fast and accurately. In addition to reducing the risk for errors and inconsistencies, ITC’s insurance rating software saves agents time because they use only one website and one screen to compare premium quotes for all their carriers.<br />

Once an agent enters the data, the quote information is electronically submitted to carriers who in turn calculate and return the rate. In addition to reducing the risk of typos and inconsistent entries, TurboRater saves agents time as they consult only one screen to compare all carrier premium quotes, which also allows them to tweak the quotes with just one data entry point.<br />
<br />
“Today's customer expects prompt service. For independent agents to continue to compete with direct writers, they need to be able to provide a competitive rate instantly,” said AnMarie Bozick, CIC, <a href="http://www.getitc.com/Products/Rating/features.aspx">comparative rating</a> product manager at ITC. “TurboRater already gives agents that power for auto insurance and now it will provide the same ability for homeowners and renters insurance.”<br />
<br />
TurboRater is available in 14 states with homeowners and tenants insurance currently available only in Texas but not for long. Bozick said, “We will launch access to home and tenants insurance in our remaining 13 states this year.” Those states are Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Virginia and Wisconsin.<br />

###urn:uuid:130Insurance Website Builder Now Includes Free Report MarketingInsurance Technologies Corporation (ITC) is pleased to announce the addition of free report marketing to Insurance Website Builder (IWB), the premier insurance agency online marketing provider. Free report marketing generates leads for an agency by providing insurance-related reports to the agency’s website visitors in exchange for their contact information.2011-10-06T09:00:00Z2024-03-19T06:52:24ZInsurance Technologies Corporation (ITC) is pleased to announce the addition of free report marketing to Insurance Website Builder (IWB), the premier insurance agency online marketing provider. Free report marketing generates leads for an agency by providing insurance-related reports to the agency’s website visitors in exchange for their contact information.<br />
<br />
“Consumers are increasingly going online to research insurance and find information to help them make an informed decision,” said Laird Rixford, vice president of product development. “Free report marketing is an effective lead generation strategy because it offers consumers the information they’re searching for while capturing their contact information so the insurance agent can start building relationships with consumers who have indicated their interest in purchasing an insurance policy.”<br />
<br />
Agents can choose from the assortment of articles included in the Insurance Website Builder system or add their own to build their report library. Insurance Website Builder adds insurance-related articles to the system monthly so agents can encourage visitors to return to their websites for the new information. Cover pages can be customized for the agency and will be automatically added to every report. Also, cover pages for specific lines of business can be created for reports related to specific lines of business. When a visitor selects multiple reports at once, the system will combine the reports into a single customized download.<br />
<br />
“If an agent uses AgencyBuzz, the contact information received from free report marketing will be automatically inserted into the drip marketing system to begin the marketing process,” said Rixford. “This combination provides agents with an all-inclusive prospect marketing system to collect information and promote their agencies to visitors that engage with their websites.”<br />
<br />
This new feature is included at no charge in IWB’s Gold and Platinum plans. View the full list of Insurance Website Builder features for <a href="http://www.getitc.com/">insurance agent websites</a>.<br />

The Facebook social media plugin installs a mini version of an insurance agency’s main website on Facebook, including blogs, employee directory, locations and quote forms.<br />
<br />
“Keeping up with all of the social media accounts can be cumbersome and time consuming for busy agents,” said Laird Rixford, vice president of product development. “The Facebook social media plugin makes it easy for agents to keep their customers updated with a Facebook-friendly version of their website. Customers can now even request a quote directly from their agent’s Facebook page.”<br />
<br />
This newest feature of Insurance Website Builder allows agents to maintain their website and Facebook presence from one location. The Facebook social media plugin is dynamic, so when a change is made to an Insurance Website Builder website, the Facebook site is automatically updated with the new content. All content and forms are pulled directly from an agency’s main website. This includes request a quote and customer service forms, lines of business pages, blogs with Facebook commenting, FAQs, employee directory, office locations and a contact us form.<br />
<br />
An agency can design the plugin to match the look and feel of their brand while maintaining the overall design elements recognized by Facebook visitors.<br />
<br />
“In addition to the website integration, the Facebook plugin directly interfaces with AgencyBuzz to offer automated email and drip marketing to a customer’s prospects.” Rixford continued. “This combination provides agents with an all-inclusive prospect marketing system to collect information and promote their agencies to visitors that engage with their properties.”<br />
<br />
This new feature is included at no charge in Insurance Website Builder’s Gold and Platinum plans. View the insurance agency Facebook social media plugin to see the latest Insurance Website Builder technology in action.<br />

###urn:uuid:132Insurance Technologies Corporation Introduces AgencyBuzzInsurance Technologies Corporation today introduced AgencyBuzz, the premier drip marketing tool created for independent insurance agents. AgencyBuzz allows agents to automate their online and offline marketing processes and manage their contacts in an easy-to-use interface that can assign a relationship status – e.g. prospect, customer or lost – for each line of business the agent offers.2011-09-20T09:00:00Z2024-03-19T06:52:24ZInsurance Technologies Corporation today introduced AgencyBuzz, the premier drip marketing tool created for independent insurance agents. AgencyBuzz allows agents to automate their online and offline marketing processes and manage their contacts in an easy-to-use interface that can assign a relationship status – e.g. prospect, customer or lost – for each line of business the agent offers.<br />
<br />
“It is important for agents to build relationships and keep their agencies in front of their prospects and customers. Many agents struggle to do so on a consistent basis due to time constraints,” said Laird Rixford, vice president of product development. “AgencyBuzz automates the marketing process so agents can keep the personal touch while having more time to focus on selling more policies.”<br />
<br />
How AgencyBuzz works:<br />
<ul>
<li>Contacts can be organized by line of business, relationship status, agency contact and agency location.</li>
<li>Design library allows an agent to choose their email designs.</li>
<li>Content library has more than 250 pre-written, insurance-specific articles an agent can use in his or her emails. Articles are continually being added to the library.</li>
<li>Create drip processes to trigger emails to be sent on birthdays, anniversaries, holidays or when a contact is first added to the system.</li>
</ul>
“We know how busy insurance agents can get so we designed AgencyBuzz as a way an agent can automatically follow up on the policies he quotes during the day without having to manually send every email,” said Rixford. “With AgencyBuzz, an agent can streamline his or her sales process, significantly increase the number of policies closed and retain their current customers.”<br />
<br />
Currently, AgencyBuzz is offered as a separate product or as part of Insurance Website Builder’s Platinum Plan.<br />

###urn:uuid:135Insurance Technologies Corporation Expands TurboRater TeamInsurance Technologies Corporation (ITC), a leading provider of insurance software solutions, announced today it has expanded its TurboRater team with the addition of Justin Costa as carrier relations leader. In the carrier relations leader position, Costa is responsible for identifying and managing the present and future needs of insurance carriers and engaging new carrier relationships for TurboRater, ITC’s comparative rating system.2011-07-12T09:00:00Z2024-03-19T06:52:24ZInsurance Technologies Corporation (ITC), a leading provider of insurance software solutions, announced today it has expanded its TurboRater team with the addition of Justin Costa as carrier relations leader. In the carrier relations leader position, Costa is responsible for identifying and managing the present and future needs of insurance carriers and engaging new carrier relationships for TurboRater, ITC’s <a href="http://www.getitc.com/products/rating/">comparative rating</a> system.<br />
<br />
For more than 20 years, Costa has worked in various roles in the insurance industry, including an independent agency owner and chief operations officer of Imperial Management’s retail agencies. Prior to joining ITC, Costa worked as a consultant for PLS Financial Corporation designing and implementing an insurance agency for their Texas-based division. He began his career in West Palm Beach, Florida, where he managed eight agency offices.<br />
<br />
“We’re excited that Justin has joined our team as we believe in the importance of not compromising carriers’ needs and requirements in our efforts to streamline the quoting process for insurance agents,” said AnMarie Bozick, product manager for TurboRater. “We hired Justin for his unique insight into the relationship dynamics between carrier and agent. His expertise will help us meet the current needs of both carriers and agents while developing TurboRater for the future.”<br />
<br />
TurboRater automates the process of producing an <a href="http://www.iwantinsurance.com/">insurance quote</a> allowing independent insurance agents to provide their customers with quick, accurate quotes that are also easy to understand. Offered with Real Time Rating, an agent only enters the information once and receives quotes for multiple carriers. Available in 13 states: Arkansas, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and Wisconsin, TurboRater benefits carriers and agents because the decrease in data entry gives agents more time to develop business for their carriers.<br />

###urn:uuid:137Insurance Website Builder Now Includes Mobile WebsitesInsurance Technologies Corporation is pleased to announce the addition of mobile websites to Insurance Website Builder, the premier insurance agency website provider, which are available to all Insurance Website Builder customers at no additional cost. Automatically included in every package, all current accounts have already been upgraded with a mobile version, which includes features from the full websites.2011-06-27T09:00:00Z2024-03-19T06:52:24ZInsurance Technologies Corporation is pleased to announce the addition of mobile websites to Insurance Website Builder, the premier <a href="http://www.getitc.com/products/websites/feature.aspx?id=107">insurance agency website</a> provider, which are available to all Insurance Website Builder customers at no additional cost. Automatically included in every package, all current accounts have already been upgraded with a mobile version, which includes features from the full websites.<br />
<br />
“According to The Nielsen Company, almost a third of all mobile users in the United States own smartphones, a number predicted to rise above 50% by year-end,” said Laird Rixford, vice president of product development. “We’re excited to provide mobile websites as part of the Insurance Website Builder package because we believe that there is an increasingly critical need for insurance agents to have a mobile online presence for their on-the-go customers.”<br />
<br />
The mobile sites include the same features found on an agency’s main website, just in a more mobile and finger-friendly format. These features include quotes, customer service, secure payments, blogs and frequently asked questions. When using these mobile versions of an agency’s website, visitors have been shown to view more pages and stay longer while browsing on a mobile device.<br />
<br />
“Insurable events rarely happen near a computer, sometimes they even destroy the computer, so it’s important for insurance agents to have websites that are easily viewable on their customers’ mobile devices as it could be the only way for them to find the information they need to begin the claim process,” said Rixford. “Because we believe so strongly that an insurance agency must have a mobile presence, every Insurance Website Builder customer – both current and new – receives the mobile version as part of the website package at no additional cost.”<br />
<br />
In addition to these mobile sites, Insurance Technologies Corporation offers customized agency applications that link the user directly to the agency’s mobile presence. Mobile applications are available for Apple’s iPhone, Google’s Android, and Microsoft’s Windows Phone operating systems. When combined with the mobile websites from Insurance Website Builder, this solution allows insurance agencies to stay current with technology trends by making their information and forms easily accessible on smartphones.<br />

In this position, Bozick will be responsible for adjusting the direction of the company’s TurboRater product.<br />
<br />
Bozick has a long history in the insurance industry which she says will help her develop the changes she has planned for TurboRater. Her 20-year career has spanned two states and has given her an in-depth understanding of the roles and challenges that independent insurance agents and agencies face in staying up-to-date, competitive and useful to consumers. She spent many years serving as president and vice president of a statewide insurance industry association and used those roles as a way to collaborate and develop ideas with hundreds of other agents. In addition, she is also a former agency owner and TurboRater user.<br />
<br />
TurboRater is a web-based personal lines, auto and home comparative rate developing program that was created by Insurance Technologies Corporation. It is currently available in 13 states and allows agents to generate and compare insurance rates for multiple companies and store quotes quickly and accurately with a single system. The system is unique in that it accesses the underwriting standards of several companies before returning quotes. This ensures that consumers aren’t just getting a standardized rate sheet quote, but a personalized Real Time quote based on field underwriting.<br />
<br />
Bozick plans to use her collective experience to ensure that TurboRater continues to evolve with the industry and remains a vital tool for business development. In this increasingly tech savvy age, choosing the right software for agency growth can sometimes be difficult, but important. Bozick says, “Developing a strong sales force and implementing the right automation products allows agencies to increase efficiency and marketing reach and gives them the information they need to make educated decisions.”<br />
<br />
In the coming months and years, TurboRater users can look forward to many enhancements that will allow them to more efficiently run their agencies. “The focus now is on the expansion of companies accessible within the program, adding homeowners’ ratings, and creating feature enhancements to improve agent efficiency and increase agent sales,” says Bozick.<br />
