                 In my personal opinion, the best website available for insurance agents is from the National Association of Accredited Insurance Professionals (NAAIP). NAAIP.org is giving away a site to anyone who is an insurance agent. This site includes a Life Insurance quote engine. Over 90 carriers are in the quote engine. A Medicare Supplement quote engine is included with over 20 carriers. An "auto insurance quote engine" is included. This is the same style of quote engine that esurance.com uses in that it really just gets the potential client's information while the term life and Medicare quote engines give quotes of the various carriers.

 The most impressive part of this site is that it includes "Smart Client Data Capture."  What is SCDC? When a potential client goes to a website, the first thing they do is client for a free quote. Immediately afterwards the visitor is awed by your impressive quote engine. Then there is a pop up that states: "Please input our personal information to get a custom quote." This causes a very highest percentage of clients to input their personal information. The agent and the client receive an email notification.  As well, this information will be in your NAAIP back office. These type of leads that are exclusive to you will have the highest close ratio.

NAAIP encourages agents to edit their sites to their specific business and to get the NAAIP site on their own domain name. Initially the site starts out as example: www.naaip.org/joesmith. Of course you, the agent, prefer to put the site on a domain name that you own. Example: www.smithinsurance.com.

Your question is obvious. Why on God's green earth is NAAIP giving away such a quality site for free? We all know that the insurance industry's compensation levels are based on the law of large numbers. If you supply more sales or agents to an insurer then the insurer will give you a better contract. NAAIP has the best contracts and earns its money from contracting agents.

NAAIP does not obligate any insurance agent to sign contracts with NAAIP as the upline, but merely wants a listening ear when it has a good deal to present insurance agents. If you ever sign a contract via NAAIP you will always get paid directly from the insurer and it will be at the best commission levels.

Agents are welcome to go to their daily conference call or to call 800-770-0492. Having a beautiful and functional website will certainly boost any insurance agent's income.
