The BrokerAdvantage team just got back from our inaugural trip to the ICMG (Inter-Company Marketing Group) Conference in sunny Miami, FL. We had a wonderful time mingling with old friends and new acquaintances while escaping the blizzard of the century back in Wisconsin. The ICMG Conference is unique with its core focus on networking. It was refreshing to see individuals from all corners of the Health Insurance industry come together to discuss pertinent issues and find common ground. The binding force between all of us was of course, Healthcare Reform. The conference speakers invited us to take a positive look at HCR and challenged us to find the opportunity that inevitably lies within all change. As for Connecture, we’ve responded with a firm commitment to make the distribution of health insurance more efficient than ever— with the hope that tools like BrokerAdvantage will make finding your opportunity a little easier.

 HCR will continue posing new questions and pushing us to search for new answers. Where are you looking for your opportunity?

In tomorrow’s Webinar, Bob Barry and Mark Seghers will discuss how reform impacts brokers and how technology can help you sell more business, retain more business, and thrive in a post-reform environment.

Health insurance companies are moving fast to prepare. Are you?

My name is Russell Greene, and while I may be relatively new to the Insurint team, I feel right at home here in the health insurance industry. I worked in a sales capacity as a Small Group Sales Representative for VIVA Health in Birmingham, AL and, more recently, in Medical Sales with CareSouth Home Health Care back in my native Atlanta. Now I’ve landed at Connecture and am settling into my new position as a Business Development Specialist for Insurint.   

The office is an exciting place these days with an ever-expanding customer service team and product development specialists hard at work on new features and upgrades. My colleagues and I will be posting to this blog as your inside sources; giving you a special “behind the scenes” look, and sharing the latest Insurint buzz. Insurint was founded on one simple principle—to build a premier quoting tool BY agents FOR agents. On that same note, I invite you to take an active role in the broker community on the Insurint site, and also encourage you to provide suggestions in our iSuggest tool:  a forum within the Insurint product that allows users to suggest new features as well as vote on others’ suggestions.

This blog will be a great resource to keep current on Insurint updates, industry news, and tips for utilizing the Insurint platform to its full potential. I can speak for each and every Connecture employee when I say that we value your business and are dedicated to making your experience with Insurint a beneficial & pleasurable one. I look forward to getting to know each of you—comment back, start a discussion, and be sure to hit subscribe so you don’t miss a thing!
