I will see if I can justify a budget for "blog shillers." These days that might not be a bad investment. I will consider you when we start interviewing for that newly created position.
Thank you.
Mark Quotit.
He catches on quickly guys.

I think it really takes some grandes huevos to open Quotit up to our "wrath." I have their quote engine on my website and think it's swell! Service is great.
Used Norvax a few years ago and still waiting for tech support to respond to my questions.
By the way, more posts like this will be available to Quotit for a small decrease in my monthly charge.

How do you like Zapquotes compared to Quotit?
Does Zapquotes have an auto-responder like Quotit?

I actually like zapquote better than quotit mainly because I've used it for so many years. However, it is not as "pretty" so I have quotit on my public sites. My private site that I use for quoting "internally" is zapquote.
Why don't you go to www.zapquotes.com and take a look for yourself. You can run as many quotes as you like. I understand that at least one agent on this forum is stealing the work by not paying for the quote engine but I'm sure you're better than that.

I don't have an external quote engine on my site as I don't believe it is worth the time and effort. I have used Quotit but since I don't do much IFP anymore I don't think I will keep it much longer.
For the little IFP I do these days, 90% of the time I either recommend a couple of Shield plans if I think they will get past UW .... or a couple of Anthem plans if I don't. Like some agents I do a "fact finder" and then just recommend the plans I think are best for the client... instead of trying to sell from a long laundry list without taking the up-front time for a fact-finder. Thus I most often use the carrier's quote system to get a price.
(One lesson I learned from selling life that applies to health... if the client is not willing to meet with you in person (or a LONG phone call) for a fact-finder, you can send them all the quotes in the world but you will not make a sale. I wish John had taught me that two years ago when he was my coach! (He did a good job on everything else and I'm sure his assoc. will help lots of new people.) Back then the paradigm was "Quote early, quote often." Now when I prospect I prospect for the appointment, not the "opportunity" to email a quote. Took me a long, long time to learn that lesson. YMMV.)
For group quotes I usually use the free Rogers Benefits quote engine as I find it to be the easiest. W&B and BM have good ones but you have to be a PH.D to figure them out... and I don't think either will quote CA or KP Choice... but Rogers will (they send it off to CA/KP and you get quote via email an hour or so later. Works well.)
For life, I use Winflex. It's a really nice system. I wish MoO would use the web-based version... but it runs fine on my Mac when I run Windows with Parallels, as well as on my hundred year old XP Toshiba lappy.

Actually, I have reached the point in my career that I don't use quote engines either. In fact, I don't use any quoting software at all. Based on my experience (and keeping up to date with rate changes) I estimate my quotes to the client (calculating rates in my head) and most often, I'm within 1.5%.
It was scary at first when I changed to this method, but now it is very quick, efficient...and rather fun as well.

You need to get out more Chumps! Seriously! Leave the basement! LOL...
I agree quoting a "range" will often save a lot of time upfront. When the response is "PER MONTH?" it is down hill from there.
