NetQuote and TurboRater Partnership Offers Real-Time Quotes for Real-Time Leads.

While NetQuote offers real-time leads, trying to find real-time quotes—particularly multiple quotes—can be frustrating. However, when it comes to quoting auto insurance, NetQuote agents have found the right partner who can keep up—TurboRater.

TurboRater is an application developed by Insurance Technologies Corporation (ITC), an insurance software design leader that has provided comprehensive, affordable software and technology solutions to the insurance industry since 1983. Its user-friendly design allows agents to simply enter in driver information and credit scores, and the program automatically checks each company's underwriting guidelines, providing a comparative real-time quote in seconds. According to Laird Rixford, spokesperson for ITC, additional key features of TurboRater are:

• Company bridging and agency management integration
• Optional centralized online quote storage
• The ability to calculate and compare company pay plans
• Allows for the creation of multiple quote templates
• The ability to send e-mails directly from the desktop
• Transfers data to insurance company software or website
• Timely and accurate updates to carrier rate changes
• Comprehensive underwriting enforcement
• Built-in fax capabilities
• Fast, friendly customer support

“We offer a competitive advantage in that no other program can match TurboRater's speed, accuracy, and overall value,” Rixford said. “Plus, there are no start-up fees and we allow agents to try the system free for 30 days.”

According to Rixford, the partnership of TurboRater and NetQuote made sense because both are leaders in their respective marketplaces, as well as NetQuote’s ability to integrate with TurboRater’s comparative rating program.

“NetQuote leads integrate directly into the TurboRater comparative real-time rating program,” Rixford said. “It’s fast and efficient, which saves the agent time and allows them to focus on closing the sale.”

With TurboRater’s real-time comparative rater program, an agent enters quote information just as they would for any quote. There may be some special questions to be answered after the vehicle screen. Once those are completed, the agent can initiate the real- time rating process. A few seconds later, the rate is returned directly from the carrier. If the customer chooses to place their business with a company, a bridge is available to take the agent to the company’s rating and complete the issuance process.
So for NetQuote agents looking for a rating product to assist them in quoting auto insurance quickly and efficiently, TurboRater gives them the opportunity to increase volume, business and earn greater commissions.
