Norvax: Press Release

NAHU and Norvax Team up for Exclusive Web Seminar That Reveals How Insurance Agents Are Using Web-Based Tools to Become Top Producers

CHICAGO, IL –– The Internet is a powerful selling tool in today’s most successful insurance agencies. Now agents can learn firsthand how to use the Internet to streamline their agencies and write more policies. This November, the National Association of Health Underwriters (NAHU) and Norvax, a leading provider of Web-based insurance sales technology, are teaming up to present the engaging Web Seminar “7 Secrets of Top Producers.”

In the one-hour session, agents will learn how top producers around the country are using easy Web-based tools to outsmart, out-market and outsell the competition. The major focus will surround the evolution of one-person shops to top producer status in just three short years.

Jeremiah Desmarais of Norvax will reveal what these agents have shared with him firsthand. Attendees will learn exactly how several successful agents:

Tripled the number of quotes they run each day
Slashed mailing costs by $21,600 a year
Now write 99% of their sales without leaving the office

“Agents are often too busy to keep up with the latest technological developments that could impact their sales, let alone learn how to implement them in their own agencies,” said Desmarais. “This seminar is designed to bring them up to speed fast. In just one hour they will see what’s working in several real-life agencies, and be equipped with the know-how to make it happen for their shops.”

Desmarais continued, “We’re honored to join NAHU’s acclaimed speaker’s bureau, and excited that they have created this opportunity for us to bring these practical online strategies to a wider audience.”

This quick course reveals the latest trends in marketing insurance online and how they impact agencies of all sizes. Case studies illustrate how to target online consumers who are interested in health insurance and use Web-based tools to make quoting, applying and following up fast and completely paperless.

“Norvax is a respected leader in the Web-based insurance technology field,” added Farren Ross, vice president of education at NAHU. “Their considerable expertise in online insurance marketing also made them the natural choice to educate our agent community on the role of the Internet in today’s successful agencies. We’re pleased to have them on our speaker’s bureau, and look forward another successful ‘7 Secrets of Top Producers’ presentation.”

The “7 Secrets of Top Producers” seminar will be held November 8 at 1:00pm EST. The cost is $45 for NAHU members and $65 for non-members. Those interested can register at http://eo2.commpartners.com/users/nahu/session.jsp?id=373.
