What’s one of the best ways to service your clients and build loyalty? Through real-time premium comparison.
How do you keep your agency from languishing in this soft insurance market and actually increase your market share, while setting your agency up to flourish when the market picks up?
My answer (and what I recommend to you) comes in two parts:
The First Part: My new Anderson Report on Premium Comparison Systems, 3rd Edition. It is the only comprehensive guide for those who are looking to boost agency profitability and customer service through an automated multiple—company premium comparison system—what we used to call comparative rating.
You see, comparative rating is significantly different today than it was just a few short years ago. As you well know, the Internet and carrier proprietary systems have made things more difficult for you, not less. That’s why The Anderson Report on Premium Comparison Systems provides you with:
- Detailed information on all the premium comparison vendors currently available in the United States today;
- All you need to understand the differences between each vendor (and their products);
- How you can get maximum benefit from what’s now available.
And far beyond the specific detailed information in this Anderson Report, I personally contacted each vendor and got the direct scoop on what they provide and how their systems work. (And, as you know, finding that one helpful vendor can make all the difference in your business!)

Insider Secret: I have been able to find new vendors that are developing great new premium comparison processes that most in the industry don’t yet know exist. Learning about just one of these new vendors will save you hours of work. Being able to obtain multiple quotes for one policy will make the difference between great profits and debilitating losses.
The Second Part: The 10 Biggest Marketing Mistakes Most Agencies Make and How to Avoid Them.
Often, and especially in the case of a soft insurance market, the best defense is a good offense. And boy, is this report offensive! Really, of all the great moneymaking and money-saving evaluations, analysis, and solutions we provide you through the Anderson Network, 10 Biggest Marketing Mistakes is the one with the most potential to multiply your bottom line.
Normally, The Anderson Report on Premium Comparison Systems sells for $299 but I have arranged for you to get this at a special discount price of only $199. And if you order in the next 10 days, I’ll send you the 10 Biggest Marketing Mistakes report FREE (a $99 value). Together both reports normally cost $398, but with this special offer you get both for only $199 (that’s a savings of $199—half price!).
Plus, I personally guarantee that if for any reason you are not completely satisfied with The Anderson Report on Premium Comparison Systems, I’ll refund your money and The 10 Marketing Mistakes report is yours to keep.
Both reports come as PDF files for your convenience, your immediate use, and your savings.
I cannot emphasize this strongly enough:
In a soft market, you can easily lose your clients to a competitor and your agency might never recover.
Fortunately, enhanced customer service through real-time premium comparison is one of the best ways to service your clients and build loyalty… IF you can integrate this service seamlessly into your agency. And once you have the capability, increasing your market share today through effective marketing will lay the foundation for your agency’s growth in the very near future.
Now is the time to protect your business, expand your customer base, and lay the foundation for business growth in place when sales rebound.
With my sincere wish for your success,
Steve Anderson, Executive Editor
