See the Note under Ywis. .--(BW HealthWire)--Nov. 20, 2000 CareQuest National Work & Family Assistance Program revealed a nationwide plan which allows independent agents, consultants and other representatives to compete against a fast-growing world of on-line insurance companies and dot.com quote services. "More and more insurance companies have positioned themselves to cut agents out of the business by marketing, quoting and even selling on-line," says Robert Pearson Captain Robert Pearson was a soldier and politician from Alberta, Canada. Robert was first elected as a non-partisan to the Legislative Assembly of Alberta in the 1917 Alberta general election as the top pick in the, At large soldiers' and nurses vote from voters fighting , President and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.

"We're going to introduce MGAs, GAs and reps to the World of dot.com - even if they don't own a computer! We're going to help agents compete in this Brave New World Brave New World Aldous Huxley’s grim picture of the future, where scientific and social developments have turned life into a tragic travesty. [Br. Lit.: Magill I, 79] See : Dystopia Brave New World ." Pearson points out that in today's quickly-changing business world, reps and agents in all lines of work need to get in front of the Internet Revolution before "Invisible Competition" starts stealing business and eroding income. "It's almost an invisible process...most agents won't see it coming," Pearson said. "But if GAs, MGAs and Sales Reps want to be in business next year, they'd better get a real, interactive, on line presence - not just a picture on a webpage somewhere. If they don't, they'll wake up one morning to find their customers and prospects no where in sight. Worse yet, Invisible Competition won't come from within the agent's own community, but from thousands of miles away! CareQuest is positioning producers NOW - to stop the erosion of prospects, clients and income!" CareQuest has invested more than a million dollars developing its services so reps can compete very well against any on-line insurer An individual or company who, through a contractual agreement, undertakes to compensate specified losses, liability, or damages incurred by another individual. An insurer is frequently an insurance company and is also known as an underwriter. or internet quote service. "Our technology is really cutting edge stuff," Pearson remarked. "We've dedicated ourselves to ensuring that our reps receive not only the commission they deserve, but all the leads and quote requests produced from their marketing efforts." Representatives with a CareQuest contract can take advantage of the fast-growing internet traffic Internet traffic is the flow of data around the Internet. It includes web traffic, which is the amount of that data that is related to the World Wide Web, along with the traffic from other major uses of the Internet, such as electronic mail and peer-to-peer networks. by becoming a CareQuest / BenefitSelect.com e-MGA, e-GA or e-Consultant. Those representatives will also receive full credit and compensation for clients who purchase any CareQuest and BenefitSelect plans on-line, or off-line - directly from the rep. A nationwide recruiting campaign begins December 1. "It's a bold move for CareQuest, but we're headed in the right direction," Pearson added. "Our MGAs, GAs and reps will be well positioned to surpass the competition." Last week, in another bold move, CareQuest announced its plan to distribute its traditional group products to individuals and families. CareQuest's services include in-depth eldercare eld·er·care n.
