Norvax, the leading developer of sales and marketing technology for the health insurance industry, has just released their latest whitepaper, "How To Avoid The Biggest Problems Agents Have With Insurance Technology In 7 Easy Steps" to help agents save time and money by making smarter purchasing decisions.

"Until now agents have had no guidepost for assessing technology before they commit to one product or another," said Jeremiah Desmarais, the report's author and vice president of marketing, Norvax. "The result is often an investment in technology not suited for the agent's business or money wasted on a faulty tool that creates even more work. This discouraging experience can lead to agents abandoning insurance technology before they've explored its full potential."

The new guide identifies the biggest problems with insurance technology that agents might not be aware of, and shows exactly how to side-step them, continued Desmarais. "By helping agents make informed buying decisions, we hope more will be able to realize the impressive sales and time-saving potential this technology offers them."

In the report agents learn:

• Exactly why some quote engines are a bad buy
• How offline tools were creating even more work and $13,500 in admin expenses for one agent
• How some tech companies compete with agents for business

The pitfalls of bad insurance technology buys and the benefits of successful ones are illustrated by real-life agent examples.

The report also includes an extensive Insurance Technology Comparison checklist to help agents research companies and products and find the best fit for their agency.
