Hosted by Shay Grinfeld, CEO of e-Glue Software Technologies, these informative, complimentary sessions explore a variety of issues, strategies and techniques for increasing efficiency, profits and value in the call center.On Tuesday, December 14, 2004, e-Glue will present "A Gift for 2005 ? Increase Your Qualified Leads" which examines the challenges that insurance call centers are confronted with on a daily basis.

		<description><![CDATA[The pain is all but unbearable at this point and you are going to have to see the dentist.  But, they did it again, didn't they?  Your employer has once more resorted to changing carriers in your dental insurance and now you are stuck with less coverage, higher deductibles, and reduced benefits.  Unfortunately, you have already exceeded the maximum allotment for your dental hygiene this year and you don't even want to know how much it is going to cost you out-of-pocket to get that tooth taken care of properly, do you?  Maybe you don't have dental insurance which is all the more reason for to read on because one way or another, those teeth need taken care of now!!    Maybe you are thinking that a dental plan is the last thing you need with all the other things flying at you every day in this fast-paced world.  But nothing could be farther from the truth!  People clip coupons just to save a few pennies on a jar of peanut butter but a dental plan could save them hundreds of dollars over the course of a year!  But how does a dental plan work?  Isn't it the same thing as dental insurance?A dental plan is membership based but unlike dental insurance which usually requires a monthly deduction from your paycheck, there is only a one-time fee for year round savings.  Any dental plan has a list of participating dentists that you can go to for services but unlike dental insurance where you are often limited to dentists in your zip code, you can see any participating dentist and receive the discounts?anywhere!  And while most dental insurance covers nearly all preventative procedures, they limit disbursements on many of the treatments that most of us in the "real world" really need like fillings, extractions, root canals, dentures, and even crowns!  Why should cutbacks in your employer's plan mean cutbacks in the amount of care your teeth really need?  After paying the annual fee and depending on the plan you choose, a dental plan can save you anywhere from 10-60% on the procedures you need now!  Whether you have dental insurance that has been cutback to the point of almost being useless or even if you are paying for everything out-of-pocket, a dental plan is the only way to go to receive top-notch care but at reduced costs!  It is NOT a question of whether a dental plan is right for you but only a question of which plan is best for you and your needs! Copyright 2005 Paul Sanford. ]]></description>

		<title>Is Your Home-based Business Properly Insured?</title>

		<description><![CDATA[Do you work from home full-time or part-time? Chances are your homeowner's insurance doesn't cover your home business, or at least not to the extent you need it to. For one thing, insuring just the physical assets of your business (computer, home-office furniture, fax machine, etc.) doesn't encompass every aspect of your business. To figure out how much and what kind of coverage you need, consider possible accidents; hopefully, nothing untoward will befall your business or your home, but you should plan for any eventuality so you will not suffer financially if something comes to pass. If a fire were to destroy your home and office, consider where you would work until your home was rebuilt. You would probably need to rent a temporary office space somewhere. Does your current insurance policy cover this? Do you retain any sort of client information, either on your computer or in files? If your computer was ravaged by a virus, or your files damaged in a fire, and you didn't have copies of all that information, your clients might hold you liable for the loss. If you have clients visit you in your home office, your homeowner's insurance might not cover their medical expenses should they trip and fall down your stairs or some such. Do you have any employees? Even part-time employees may affect the kind of home business insurance you need. As you can see, there are number of factors you need to take into consideration when insuring your home business. Talking to your current homeowner's insurance agent can probably get you started in the right direction. You might not even need separate home business insurance. Depending on your business, you may be able to receive coverage for it simply by enhancing your current homeowner's insurance policy. Tip: If you bundle your policies (i.e. car, homeowners, business), you may qualify for a discount. As more and more people pursue home-based businesses, insurance companies are starting to offer more comprehensive coverage at better rates. Make sure to talk to a number of insurance agents to find out who has the best rates, most options, and best coverage.. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There's a relatively unknown market in the insurance industry that consumers need to know about.  This is a market where a single agent can offer you multiple choices from multiple companies.  This is the independent insurance agency market.When you have an independent agent (IA) who you know and trust, you shouldn't have to find a new agent again.  As an IA you have the ability to "shop" a customer with numerous insurance companies, finding them the best rate and coverage, so they don't have to.  Imagine what happens the next time the renewal comes on your insurance and the premium is suddenly $500 higher than it was before.  With an IA, all you need to do is call.  They have the ability to try and find a similar policy with another company; you haven't changed agents, given personal information to strangers, or gone through the monotonous task of shopping your insurance.  Instead, you left it to an expert.Depending on the size of the agency you are dealing with, they may represent over 20 different companies.  This means you no longer have to go online and fill in the boxes, deal with 1-800 numbers, or "call-around" to different agents, each with one company to choose from.  Why have so few people heard of this market?  While these companies do represent multimillion-dollar organizations, and some of the largest organizations in the world (i.e. AIG and Zurich), the majority of these agencies are smaller companies, not having the resources to launch advertising campaigns to the mainstream market via television, radio, and other forms of media advertising.  Independent agencies have actually been around longer than the captive market (i.e. Farmers, Allstate, etc), and typically have been known to write the majority of commercial insurance.  Captives have taken a larger percentage of the personal lines (home, auto, etc.) market, even though an IA can generally offer them comparable, if not better, coverage.  This is due to the captive companies having millions of dollars to put into advertising to draw in the consumer. On the other hand, many people never know what an independent agency even is.  This gives the captive market an obvious advantage, but as people become more educated on this topic, more will look to the independent segment to meet their insurance needs.An IA can obviously bring a lot to the table for any consumer, the real question is: Why are consumers not bringing more of them to the table?  By: Jordan Walt, Independent Agent for AIC Insurance Agency. ]]></description>

This means you no longer have to go online and fill in the boxes, deal with 1-800 numbers, or "call-around" to different agents, each with one company to choose from.  Why have so few people heard of this market?  While these companies do represent multimillion-dollar organizations, and some of the largest organizations in the world (i.e. </P><P>AIG and Zurich), the majority of these agencies are smaller companies, not having the resources to launch advertising campaigns to the mainstream market via television, radio, and other forms of media advertising.  Independent agencies have actually been around longer than the captive market (i.e. Farmers, Allstate, etc), and typically have been known to write the majority of commercial insurance.  Captives have taken a larger percentage of the personal lines (home, auto, etc.) market, even though an IA can generally offer them comparable, if not better, coverage.  This is due to the captive companies having millions of dollars to put into advertising to draw in the consumer. </P><P>On the other hand, many people never know what an independent agency even is.  This gives the captive market an obvious advantage, but as people become more educated on this topic, more will look to the independent segment to meet their insurance needs.An IA can obviously bring a lot to the table for any consumer, the real question is: Why are consumers not bringing more of them to the table?

		<description><![CDATA[Having even a teeny-tiny car accident can be one of life's least enjoyable moments. However, accidents happen, and sooner or later, we all have the experience of meeting one of our fellow road travelers up close and personal. Using the following seven steps to filing your claim will help you get over this speed bump as smoothly as possible. Step 1: Understand your policy Before a loss, sit down and carefully read your insurance policy. Call your agent or company if you have any questions about what is or is not covered. Step 2: Exchange information If you are involved in an accident, get the other driver's name, address, phone number, insurance carrier, and insurer's phone number. Be prepared to give the same information about yourself to the other driver. You can find insurers' telephone numbers on the proof-of-insurance cards that should be carried on your person when operating a motor vehicle. Step 3: Identify witnesses Ask witnesses to the accident for their names and phone numbers in case their account of the accident is needed. Step 4: File an accident report Contact local law enforcement officers to have an accident report prepared. If law enforcement is not reachable, accident reports and detailed instructions are available at all police departments, sheriff's offices, your local Department of Motor Vehicles office, and on your local Department of Motor Vehicles' web site. Step 5: Notify your insurer Contact your insurance company about the accident as soon as possible. An insurance adjuster will review the accident report to determine who caused the accident. If the accident was not your fault, you can have either your insurance company or the at-fault driver's insurance company handle the repair or replacement of your vehicle. If you use the other driver's company, you will not have a claim on your automobile policy and you will not have to pay a deductible. Step 6: Do not release insurers too early Do not relieve your insurance company of its responsibility until the damages are settled to your satisfaction. For example, have your insurance company handle the claim if the other party's insurance company questions its policyholder's negligence or offers an unacceptable settlement. Step 7: Consider these settlement factors 	Bodily injuries: You may be entitled to a monetary settlement for injuries caused by another at fault (liable) party. It can take several days for some injuries to become apparent. 	Damages: The insurance company is responsible to pay for the reasonable cost of repairs to your vehicle. An insurance adjuster will assess the damage. Usually, insurance companies and auto body shops negotiate disagreements about what should be repaired. If you disagree with their conclusions, you have the right to obtain another appraisal at any auto body shop. 	Appraisal clause: Most auto insurance policies include an appraisal clause, which can be used to help settle disputes about physical damage claims between you and your insurance company. (The appraisal clause does not apply for claims you file with the other party's insurance company.) If you cannot reach an agreement with your company, you or your insurer can initiate the appraisal clause. Your appraiser and your insurer's appraiser then select an independent umpire to try to resolve the dispute. Check your policy or ask your agent or insurance company for more information about the appraisal clause. And that is it. While filing a claim is certainly no fun, following these seven steps will make the process almost as easy as getting free quotes and purchasing your car insurance at http://www.carinsurance.com.

		<title>Do You Need A Financial Planner?</title>

		<description><![CDATA[No matter how much money you make, it pays to keep on top of money coming in and going out.  Even if you do a good job of that, there are important times in your life when talking with a professional adviser makes sense.Almost every major life event - finding or losing a job, getting married or divorced, having a baby, buying a home -- is likely to have a major impact on your finances.  A new job may mean you are making more money -- no problem there as long as you know the best way to invest it.  Getting married may mean you have a second income to count on, but now you have someone counting on yours as well.  Buying a house means you have to come up with a hefty sum of cash for a down payment, get used to monthly mortgage payments and meet the expense of house repairs.Let's look at what happens if a baby comes into your financial picture.  First, medical bills need to be paid, so having good medical insurance is important.  Few insurance plans cover everything, so you'll need to have a cash reserve to cover deductibles and extras, not to mention the furniture, clothing and sundries you'll need when the newborn comes home.With a new addition to the family, you'll want to make sure that the entire family (baby, too) is protected if something should happened to you -- that means reviewing life and disability insurance to be sure it's adequate for your new responsibilities.There's the future to start thinking about, too.  Will your child go to college?  If so, the College Board estimates that secondary education costs are rising 7% to 8% annually, a rate much higher than the rate of inflation.  To afford the average $7,000 total costs for a state university, you need to start saving $195 a month.  Wait until your child is 7 years old and the monthly amount jumps to $240!  So, it's smart to put away a little sum each month.What can you do to accommodate new strains on your paycheck?  How can you meet all of your new responsibilities?  With an important financial goal (such as educating a child) you'll want to work with a generalist -- a financial planner.  A lot of professionals specialize in areas such as taxes or stocks, but a financial planner helps you understand the "big picture."  A qualified financial planner can help you sort through your current financial situation, help you set short- and long-term goals and objectives, then present a "blueprint" designed to show you how you can meet your goals while staying within your means.There's nothing more certain than change.  And just as you learn to adapt to the changes life throws your way, you can count on things changing with your finances as well.  Trevor J. Wisniewski, MSFinancial AdvisorRaymond James & Associates, Inc.. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With the introduction of low cost airlines, and the rapid growth of internet users, booking the perfect holiday has become easier for the inexperienced internet user.  Gone are the days, where the only people surfing the net are techie's - welcome to the internet age, where people of all ages are now using the internet to go about their normal life. "You look forward to your holiday all year and you want to book it easily, and save money," says Darren, a holiday rental specialist who runs, Worldwide Holiday Homes. "If you automatically think ?travel agent,' you're missing out on the internet world. Just ask the thousands of people who reserve villas, apartments and cottages through our companies website.  Booking your holiday online means you can look for the best deals, and search in the comfort of your own home." Darren says the rise of the Internet has made it easier and more convenient to seek out and reserve a holiday home, why stay in an overcrowded hotel, when you get have the privacy that a villa holiday brings.  No more shared swimming pools, instead relax in privacy within your own pool. If you're nervous about dealing one-on-one with a holiday home owner, don't be. Darren says that some of the nervousness is brought on by the travel agents, who advise against booking a private holiday rental, as the companies offering rentals are not ABTA bonded.  Providing you get adequate travel insurance, and are cautious and follow some simple booking instructions, you can minimize the risk: - Speak to the owner of the property, you can learn a lot about a person, and you'll probably feel much comfortable than communicating through email - which can be impersonal. - Each property owner will have their own way of processing a booking but, as a guideline, you should expect to pay a deposit to secure the booking of between 10% - 50% of the total rental. This is normally paid either by cheque or by bank transfer and the owner should confirm the booking and receipt of your payment by letter or by e-mail. - Check the cancellation terms with the owner at the time of booking - deposits are often non-refundable and they may have a sliding scale of charges for last minute cancellations after the balance has been paid. We recommend that you ask for any terms and conditions in writing. Make sure that you have the address and directions to the property. These are normally sent to you on payment of the balance. Some owners will send you a key in advance, some may live on site and be there to welcome you, whilst others may have a local representative or neighbour who will meet you. - Make sure that you have the telephone number of the owner or their representative so that you can call to let them know if your arrival time is delayed.  If you encounter an owner who is unwilling to talk to you on the phone, beware. You simply cannot send money to someone you've never spoken to.  Go with your gut feeling. Take out adequate travel insurance, we would recommend that you speak to a travel insurance specialist, and explain the type of holiday you are going to book - that way your going to get the right advice, and the right level of insurance - remember that you'll pay a deposit, if for any reason your ill, or your flight is cancelled or delayed, you'll need insurance to be able to claim the deposit back. - Don't be embarrassed to ask for testimonials from other holidaymakers, or email address / telephone number of other holidaymakers who have book the accommodation.  Have a search on the internet, and see if you can "dig" up any bad feedback or reviews about the owners or property rental. "To many this may sound time consuming," says Darren, "Most owners, respond within 24 hours, once you have confirmation of the booking and paid the deposit, then you book your flight, and travel insurance - by leaving the travel agent out of the process, you will save money, and you have the opportunity to research the location and accommodation, before booking, compared to booking with an agent who, let's be honest is trying to get you to book quickly, for commission." Darren says that many travel agents are now realising the potential of the internet, our website alone, is a complete booking portal, you search for accommodation, contact the owner, and then through our travel shop you can book your flights, car hire and travel insurance.  Next time your looking to book your holiday - have a search on the internet, you'll be surprised what you can find.. ]]></description>
