Get quotes and purchase insurance online in minutes through broker partners in British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick
Waterloo, ON (October 10, 2012) – Consumers can now quote and purchase their personal auto or property insurance online from selected Economical brokers at www.economicalinsurance.com. By simply entering their postal code, consumers can select their preferred broker from the list presented and complete their quote and/or purchase in minutes.
“This new sales tool provides brokers with flexibility, increased online visibility and the functionality to generate new business leads. It also provides our customers with a convenient and efficient way to interact with our brokers and meet their insurance needs, all while dealing with a company and brand they recognize,” said Scott Campbell, vice president, sales and distribution.
In addition, customers who complete their purchase online get access to ‘My Account’ – a self-serve insurance management site where they can quickly view their policy, account and claims information and submit endorsement requests to the broker.
The introduction of this robust functionality to our corporate website compliments the existing Insurance on Demand links found on selected broker websites today. It provides yet another avenue for those brokers to acquire a market segment not easily reached by traditional sales channels.
At any time during the process, the consumer can quickly request to speak to a broker, providing the best of both worlds – the ability to take advantage of a broker’s consultative expertise and the convenience of transacting online.
Economical’s Insurance on Demand is a North American award winning solution specifically developed for independent insurance broker partners.
