According to insurance marketing association ARM Northwest (Associated Risk Management), more independent insurance (http://www. insurancearm. com) agents and brokers are tapping into real-time technology tools for their business. Insurance agents use technology to handle everything from policy rating and sales, to manage customer inquiries. They also use technology to deliver service.
"Using real-time tools is saving our agents and brokers a significant amount of time each day. Fourteen of 17 of our insurance agencies are using real-time rating and use it to get quotes from four or more carriers." Vonda Buse Executive who oversees the Seattle auto insurance (http://www. insurancearm. com/seattle-auto-insurance. php) partners.
An increasing number of carriers are offering real-time functionality for the independent agency. The company recently attended the ARM National Conference in Orlando, Florida. At this annual gathering of ARM state groups, ARM Northwest President, Sharon Cromwell presented to the national membership the ARM Northwest Internet Marketing Project. Through this project, ARM Northwest has established a presence on the Internet.
To capitalize on the opportunities of Internet marketing, the ARM Northwest members pooled together to increase the number of leads they get online. First, they hired a web designer called HeyCats!; web-rater - IBQ Systems. Next, to help market the new site, ARM hired search engine optimization (SEO) company - Orange Soda Enterprise. The result is the new site: insurancearm. com.
"Go to www. insurancearm. com and now you can get real-time quotes from a local independent insurance agent for many different types of insurance, including: auto insurance, condo insurance, and renters insurance. Entering your zip code will direct you to people who fit your search and can answer your questions," said Vonda Buse.
One of ARM Northwest's agents representing Portland auto insurance remarked, "We have seen good results from the ARM internet marketing program already. We've had several hits to our web site where people have requested auto and homeowner insurance quotes. Many have become customers after getting quotes. The overall quality of the new accounts has been solid. Our staff and customers have remarked that the ARM website is easy to navigate, professional & informative."
