Everything you need to know about using ProtectionGuruPro

ProtectionGuruPro has been live for just under a month now and we are really pleased with the feedback and usage we have had so far. By enabling a comparison of quality AND cost our users have been able to discuss value with their clients and start their discussions with the plan most suited to their needs. In doing so advisers are able to work down a list ordered by quality when budget is an issue rather than starting with the cheapest and trying to convince a client to go for something more expensive. Skiing downhill if you like not skiing uphill!

In this weeks “everything you need to know” we thought it an opportune time to highlight some of the handy tutorials we have built which can help advisers get the most out of ProtectionGuruPro. If you haven’t yet given it a try (why not it’s free until the end of August??) this may give you a better idea of what to expect.

 

How to include price from iPipeline

When you initially login to ProtectionGuruPro, the first thing we will ask you is whether you would like to include price in your comparisons. Assuming you do we require an iPipeline WebID and password so that we can provide you with the exact pricing from each insurer that your firm received and return the exact products you have access to whether part of a panel or whole of market. THis tutorial explains how you can obtain your WebID and password if you do not have it handy.
