SilverPlume PL Rating, a part of the Verafore group of companies, has released Consumer Rate Quotes—an add-on module for its PL Rating multi-company quoting solution. This allows an agency to add the ability to provide multiple-carrier rate quotes for consumers directly from an agency’s Web site.
Consumer Rate Quotes enables agencies to:
- Accelerate the buying decision process—Consumer Rate Quotes gives agency Web site visitors the ability to quickly compare coverage options and carriers from the agency’s branded Web site.
- Reduce quote time turnaround—Web site visitors complete an interview and generate multiple rate quotes in real time. The information is integrated directly into PL Rating so agency personnel can discuss the quotes with prospects.
- Provide consumer choice—Web site visitors can see more than one price and one market, allowing an independent agency to compete more effectively with direct writers and captive agents.
I am not sure how this is real news? EZLynx has been doing this for 2+ years now. We’ve had CPLive on our website for at least 18 months now. I can show rates from ALL my companies if I choose to, not just the 4 that PL supports through their duct tape and bailing wire integration. These guys just copy everything EZLynx does. Is PL paying you to plug it? Just curious. They seem to be the only vendor you talk about when it comes to rating. I guess you have to make a living somehow but at least let agents know they have options. PL has been selling us the same thing for 15 years by 15 different names. None of them ever lived up to what they were sold as. I finally just said, enough is enough back in 2006 and it was the best thing I’ve ever done…
