NetQuote and Norvax Form Groundbreaking Insurance Industry Partnership
CHICAGO — January 16,2006 — Norvax Inc., a leading developer of web–based health insurance sales and communication tools and NetQuote Inc., an online lead provider to the insurance industry, have joined forces to automate a critical aspect of the marketing process; significantly increasing productivity.
The seamless integration allows NetQuote leads to be imported automatically into the Norvax suite of web–based tools, saving local agents hours of time in data entry, premium quoting and follow–up. “NetQuote has made itself the industry standard for generating quality health insurance leads,” said Scott Osler, Norvax Vice President. By integrating NetQuote leads into our quoting and auto–responder products, agents will gain a unique advantage over the competition. The end result will be more inbound leads, higher close rates, shorter sales cycle time, and lower client acquisition costs. Osler’s response was supported by NetQuote President Scott Striegel who stated, “We are excited about partnering with such a tech–savvy company. This gives us the most effective and efficient system in the industry.”
Until now, agents who subscribed to NetQuote’s lead service had to enter information manually into the Norvax one–click quote engine. Now NetQuote leads can be imported automatically into the Norvax Broker Office system, eliminating double data entry and allowing agents to quote leads instantly. NetQuote leads are tagged by source, allowing agents to track performance with Norvax’s real–time reporting feature.
The new partnership also gives agents the power to send customized email proposals to their NetQuote leads. Consumers benefit from instant contact and pricing information, and agents benefit from an automated response system that delivers personalized quotes. Norvax’s LeadMiner is a unique auto–responder that generates additional sales and saves agents hours of follow–up time by sending each prospect a series of personalized emails complete with updated quotes.
The NetQuote/Norvax integration allows agents:
- Import leads without re-keying data
- Generate instant quotes
- Compare plans side-by-side
- Cut costs by decreasing the need for brochures and applications form
