Re: Banks - Unfair Trade Practices
Its time to kick the GOP and DNC out of insurance, and re-implement Glass-Steagall. The Glass-Steagall Act, also known as the Banking Act of 1933 (48 Stat. 162), was passed by Congress in 1933 and prohibits commercial banks from engaging in the investment business. It was enacted as an emergency res...

Re: Agency Management System
Download? Forget that with CarnaryAMS, useless.
bpm'online is geared towards sales and not insurance as well.
I smell sales rats posting here...
QuikFuzion is by the guy that used to run FiServ, so a new product, not a new player.

Concerning Number of Systems Outages
Insurance industry should be concerned. I am seeing and hearing about dozens of banks, satellite, fiber cuts, phone, text messaging, internet, utility, and other companies that are experiencing outages and partial disruptions daily since July 4th. More in one day Wednesday than in all of Y2K. Oh and...

Re: Going Independent without going the Captive Route
There have been several posts on this topic.
You should learn the business first. Get a job with an agency just outside where you want to locate your agency. Work as a producer for at least a year. Just passing the producer test and being able to get an LLC does not qualify you to start an agency.

Re: QQ Bought By AMS Vertafore
Not a surprise...except that it was Applied. I figured Semcat would get sued or hacked and go out of business. Sooner or later they would go under or be bought.

Re: EZLynx Management System
It is my understanding the Semcat scrapes the carrier without most carriers consent. A clear issue of liability for the agent and a violation of the agent contract with the carrier. EzLynx also did this in the past but I think they use ACORD Realtime mostly now, which means they have signed a contra...

Re: EZLynx Management System
We looked at that as well. IMHO, HUGE problems with liability and storing my data on third party servers, etc. What happens with a breach on their end... I think they will leave you holding the bag. And then there is the whole question of selling the data from my quotes to carriers...what the heck i...

They all suck. Hasn't been a decent quoting system that would get better than 90% since 2000.

Re: Brand new agent starting up a retail front
I second the, "Your not going to learn it from a book" comment.
If your new to the industry, take a class, pass the test, and do a 2-3 year internship with an agency.
