Tweetable Quotes:

  • “What we’re helping our customers do is take these isolated processes that are non-standardized, and usually, in a lot of carriers’ cases, very paper-based, and bring them into a digital, single platform where they can operate more effectively both in the screening process and have more robust screening programs and also on the monitoring process, and really go one step beyond what the minimum compliance standards would be.” – Scott Mogensen
  • “Our solutions really help client retention because you’re going to keep that client, they’re not going to keep shopping around and find different insurance agencies to work with.” – Joel Sitak
