Since day one in the
business one of our priorities has been to have an effective client management
system. We have tried numerous ways of accomplishing this goal over the years
and it wasn’t until our introduction to PowerAssist that we were able to implement
a cost effective client management system.
In our initial stages
we tried to do our own client management system through Excel, Access, Outlook
etc. and although it allowed us to capture client data, that is all it did.
Next we did a ton of
research out in the marketplace to see what was available that was tailored for
the employee benefits business. We found a few alternatives however they were
not geared to the employee benefits business.
Since there was
nothing available we hired a company to build us from scratch a client
management system using MS Access. We spent over 1 full year invested in the
development of this system which included many man hours on our part plus the
development costs. Although we used this system for capturing basic client data,
again it didn’t do what we needed it to do. The system was a “pig” and was
not user friendly for our people. Again…..a lot of dollars down the drain in
the development of this system.
I was referred to David Stevenson at PowerAssist Technologies and he has
very effectively and efficiently introduced a successful client management
system that does everything we need it to at little effort. His firm takes
effective off the shelf products
and customizes it for our business like nothing we have ever seen!
Their APS
- Employee Benefits Module is the only system I have seen that has been
tailored for the financial services business who’s practices specialize in
employee benefits that can offer the MGA and our their reps such tremendous functionality
at an affordable price.
PowerAssist
Returned Results
We now use one system
for corporate and personal customers and it accomplishes all of our objectives.
-
We can communicate
with our customers effectively and easily.
-
We can email
or send out any correspondence easily.
-
It captures
all key customer data that is crucial for the management of our
business.
-
All customer contact
is recorded so that whoever corresponds or communicates with a
customer (whether sales or service) it is recorded and everyone is aware.
-
Last
but not least - it provides us with key
financial reporting to help us manage the business and results. We
can get open case activity reports, sales reports, revenue reports (standard
or flat!) by person/for the office etc. to name a few.
David has impressed
me by delivering on his promises, and PowerAssist has impressed our entire team
with their professional conduct and effective support.
We, the entire Brady
Team highly recommend that you contact PowerAssist if you have any client
management needs and especially if you want to better manage your Employee
Benefits business.
