This is just one of the Web-enabled processes designed to cut costs and increase productivity. One association commented, “My favorite part of the system is the quote page. It’s a huge credibility builder. The customer can see how different choices on riders, deductibles, and co-pays affect the final monthly premium. It really helps the client make a decision that suits them.” B. L.
