          <title>Everyone Needs a Sales Portal</title>
          <description>&lt;p&gt;Our goal is to help FCCI gain additional market penetration and  premium dollars. The following firms realized growth in premiums through  the implementation of the Synergy Portal: Catlin Underwriting Agencies  (UK), Ping An (Auto/PRC), and Mercer Insurance Group, which is a Phoenix  implementation. &lt;br /&gt;
As a key to keeping ahead of your competition, we  envision providing FCCI and its agents with the ability to derive a  quick quote to generate potential client interest. Followed by a  software application that allows for a seamless progression from the  quick quote, to further qualifying the potential client through the  application process, to creating a bound application.&amp;nbsp; All the while  reducing the cost and complexity of each sale and leaving your  competition far behind your lead.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
Insurers utilizing various lines  of business through Phoenix and other traditional applications face  restrictions in what their agents can fully view and analyze.&amp;nbsp; Like many  back-end rating systems, Phoenix has its limitations that reduce full  assessment potential for agents or other end-users.&amp;nbsp; While it may  sufficiently serve the needs of underwriting, it is not a system that  allows for an easily managed sales process.&amp;nbsp; Even for a skilled user,  getting quotations entered and qualified can be a time-consuming  process.&amp;nbsp; The cost of entry is often a hurdle because the agent cannot  provide a &amp;ldquo;quick ballpark&amp;rdquo; quote for the customer, having instead to go  through a time-consuming full quote. &lt;br /&gt;
While Phoenix does an adequate  job on the policy administration side, there is no easy way through  Phoenix to create a flexible user experience to help expedite the  questionnaire process.&amp;nbsp; The workflow between an Underwriter and an agent  using Phoenix is not streamlined. Without an easy-to-use sales portal  for agents and underwriting, the quotation process can be costly and  inefficient for all parties involved, resulting in a higher risk of  losing a potential sale.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
The ideal solution would allow you to  leverage and improve your existing investment with Phoenix with a  complementary system that would: &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Make it easier for your  agent force to sell more insurance while still managing risk&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Reduce  the cost and complexity of each sale for both FCCI and the agent&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Enable  agents to provide a rapid &amp;ldquo;ballpark&amp;rdquo; quote in a matter of minutes&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Easily  add new lines of business&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Increase the effectiveness of your  underwriting staff&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Extend your quotation process to include  underwriting-specific questions&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Codify standard underwriting  checks and balances into referral rules to manage only flagged  exceptions&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Provide an agent-underwriter workflow/messaging  process&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
