FOSTER CITY, Calif., Jan. 30, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- QuinStreet, Inc. (Nasdaq: QNST), a leader in performance marketplace products and technologies, today announces that High Point Brokerage Company, Inc., the direct response insurance agency of carrier Plymouth Rock, is the first agency to integrate its innovative new QuinStreet Rating Platform (QRP), unveiled last month. High Point Brokerage participated in QRP's development and pilot.
QRP is designed to solve critical sales issues for insurance agents. It helps agencies better service customers in a one-stop-shop platform, whereas previously multiple systems were used to research insurance options. QRP streamlines insurance agent workflow and speeds the time to quote actual rates to customers.
"QRP will help us improve response time to client inquiries while preparing the most competitive insurance quotes possible," explains Tom Lyons, Chief Operations Officer of Plymouth Rock Management Company of New Jersey. "We view QRP as a mission-critical enterprise workflow management application that should significantly drive our business value to customers and help us expand sales."
Plymouth Rock customizes on-screen instructions within QRP tailoring explanations and guidance, as needed. QRP enables insurance agents to pull real-time rates from major carriers and permits them to bind policies seamlessly. The platform is adaptable, able to connect with other third-party customer relationship management (CRM) software, while also able to support customer acquisition and leads.
"We are excited that Plymouth Rock will harness QRP's benefits, from its earliest days," says Doug Valenti, QuinStreet's chief executive officer. "We truly expect that eliminating the silos of rate information will help every insurance agent and carrier who uses our product, and every customer who receives prompt and accurate rate information. We appreciate Plymouth Rock's involvement in the development and pilot of QRP, helping us test and refine this innovative insurance industry solution. It is only fitting that they be the first to implement QRP."
QRP has integrations with top insurance carriers in the United States. To learn more about pricing and how QRP can help transform your agency and operations, please complete the "Contact Us" form: https://www.quinstreet.com/our-products/
