We are aware of & working on Rate Changes (effective April 1st) for the following auto carriers:
|
• |
Arbella |
• |
OneBeacon |
Also, Hanover has a change effective 3/23/2009.
You can bet, you’ll have these new changes BEFORE the effective date so your WinRater is always quoting accurately.
By now you should have received a SoftSync update from us and installed the latest WinRater upgrade, version 6.0.
The easiest way to tell if you’ve successfully installed this on your PC/network is to check that your WinRater Start Menu is new and colorful, like the picture to the right.
If your start menu does not look like this or if you have any questions, please contact us immediately at 781-449-8585 or support@bostonsoftware.com.
This upgrade has a bunch of improvements including a new start up menu, integrated SinglePoint features, and better screen layouts.
But the 2 most significant improvements that you should be aware of are:
We’re just under 7 weeks until Heather delivers her bouncing bundle of joy. Certain body parts are expanding to proportions we didn’t believe humanly possible. She no longer walks… she kind of waddles. She has trouble sleeping. She is only comfortable laying down with a full body pillow.And so… she is going to cut back her hours and take care of herself and baby. But don’t worry, she will still be available every afternoon to assist agents with SinglePoint support calls. She is a real trooper. But please… take pity on her.
Wow! Last week we released Real Time Rating for Plymouth Rock auto policies and the numbers say it all:
5,749 Real Time quotes were run via SinglePoint.
And that’s just for just the week of February 3rd through February 10th!
That’s right, 5,749 Real Time quotes. That’s a lot, don’t you think?!
We strongly recommend that all WinRater users:
It seems that rating is changing at the speed of light these days as we move from Managed Competition to “un-Managed Competeition”. It’s now more important than ever to make sure your agency is running on the latest version of WinRater.
We post changes and minor corrections all the time, but you shouldn’t wait for us to email you a SoftSync notice. You can do it on your own, any time of day. Here’s how:
|
• • • • • |
Make sure all other users have exited WinRater. From within your WinRater, click HELP at the menu bar. Select “Check for Online Updates”. WinRater will shut down, direct you to our SoftSync system, and begin the updating process automatically. Once the SoftSync update is finished, the person running the update should re-start WinRater and verify that no additional items need attention. (In some rare instances, WinRater may require you to perform an additional update task.) |
We don’t want to beat a dead horse… but this is very important! SinglePoint has proven to save agencies time, eliminate errors, simplify the submission process, and generate accurate real time quotes.
You can Real Time submit to over 16 carriers for auto and/or HO policies. You can get a Real Time auto quote for Plymouth Rock (with another 6 carriers in the pipeline).
If you are not currently using SinglePoint — for at least some of your carriers — then you are ignoring a simple way of improving your agency workflow. And you have to ask yourself… why not?!
Call Tonya or Heather today and they’ll step you through the simple setup.
Still unsure on how WinRater/SinglePoint handles Real Time Rating and Submitting?
