Independent Agents to Attract and Retain Customers
Web site drives leads to agencies, provides self-service portal for Agency customers
MAYFIELD VILLAGE, Ohio — Feb. 12, 2008 — Think of the new progressiveagent.com like a virtual traffic controller. It directs new customers to agents and helps existing customers make simple policy changes.
The new site reflects the Progressive brand and promotes the benefits of working with an independent agent. Its look, feel and functionality are designed to:
- Make it easy for customers to get an agent quote. The quoting platform is simple, the navigation is intuitive, and there are fewer pages to click through, paving the way for a positive consumer experience.
- Help agents grow their business. Rebuilt with ease-of-use in mind, the Web site assists consumers looking for quotes or for local independent agents from whom they can buy a policy. Agents gain a pool of leads.
- Save agents time. Some customers prefer to make their own policy changes. Agents can direct these folks to progressiveagent.com, where they access their account to make and review simple endorsements.
