Re: Ivans problem with National General

We have EZLynx and have the same problem. When we add the policies to the system we have to add 00 to the end of the policy number. Then the policies download fine.

Re: Best Personal lines rates in CA

I'm an agent in Southern California and have all the best appointments. If you already have Travelers, Safeco, and MetLife I would add Mercury. Their rates are good with preferred and non-standard risks. Allied is good also but they are always wanting more and more production. Ps. I have been an age...

Re: QQEvolution AMS ???

Hi Amy, Thank you for responding. The Transformation Station does NOT work with Kemper, Travelers, or Mercury. We have more than half of our business with these companies. It does work with MetLife, Safeco, Chubb, and Allied. In these troubling times clients are looking for ways to save money on the...

Re: QQEvolution AMS ???

I Have QQ Evolution and don't like it much. The transformation Station only works with a few of our carries. It does not have a two way integration with our FSC Rater.

Re: Agency Management System

Can anyone give information on NexSure? How do you like it or dislike it? I have been looking around for a new system. AMS 360 and Applied are too expensive for me so I am looking for good alternitive that I can afford. I need a system that is online.

Thanks,

Re: Fidelity Insurance Company Terminating Brokers. Fair?

We lost our appointment also for lack of production. They are not that good or we would have produced more. Also, they have a very high complaint ratio on the DOI website so I don't really miss the appointment.

Re: Metlife Auto and Home in California

Their rates are in FSC. The auto is really good for clean drivers. The home rates are average. I did some sample rating and thought they were worth looking into.

Metlife Auto and Home in California

If someone has a Melife appointment in California please share your thought. Are they easy to do business with? Hows the u/w? Do they have any niches? I have a lot of appointments already I am deciding if they would be a good fit for the agency.

Thanks,
