About the InsuranceHotline.com Marketing Program for Brokers and Agents

Broker and Agent Registration

If you are a broker or agent and wish to receive insurance referrals, you can register online with InsuranceHotline.com and a representative will contact you.

InsuranceHotline.com

Brokers and agents need to stay relevant in today’s internet world. The sophisticated consumer uses the internet for information. The internet is one of the top resources used by people for their insurance needs. InsuranceHotline.com provides internet referrals for hundreds of brokers and agents across Canada. InsuranceHotline.com supplies an affordable and viable solution to the individual broker or agent to help build their business. Three problems facing brokers and agents in today’s market are:

• Limited types of business which they are able to write through companies.
• Traditional advertising such as newspaper ads and yellow pages don’t provide any type of screening, resulting in time-consuming phone calls.
• Cost barrier to starting and maintaining a website that can provide qualified referrals.

This information can also be downloaded into the broker’s or agent’s desktop through the Compu-Quote ezLeads service for quicker access.

The consumer is also emailed their completed underwriting profile, the three lowest rates, and the broker/agent contact information.
