CRM Software

I am looking for a CRM solution that will work for All County Insurance. I need a good follow-up system, and some strong reporting functions would be nice. I am looking over OpenCRX this weekend and have a prospectus for Varria CRM that Gary at Integrate Technology Professionals was nice enough to send me. We shall see what happens with those. If anyone has information on good, affordable CRMs with good data portability, please either post here (register if you need to) or email me at RAB at this domain's address dot com.

In other news, I am currently working on some insurance niches for All County. Hair removal clinics are definitely a niche that most people do not know what to do with. We all know there are many agents who serve the construction industry, but only a few who do it well, so that is an area for growth. Finally, it seems like many agents treat technology professionals and programmers the same as a retail shop or outside salesman. If you are an insurance agent, please do not forget to discuss professional liability with your tech-sector clients. The coverage is so affordable, is almost always an admitted market in Florida, and the potential damage that could take place in the event of an error (imagine wiped servers, faulty accounting software, etc) is too huge to just ignore.

  • Places to Go

  • Blogroll

    • Cato @ Liberty - Cato is a libertarian research foundation. If you wish to stay informed on public policy, you can not ignore the Cato blog. Pay them a visit.
    • Greg Lincoln
    • Modo Vernant Omnia - Tampa local with many topics of interest to my readers. As you might imagine, I could not resist blogrolling a site that has tags as diverse as: economy (with views similar), spinning (as in wool), ancient Greek stuff, and occult.
    • Nassim Nicholas Taleb - Fooled by Randomness - The Economist turned me on to Mr. Taleb, a trader turned philoisopher (as described by Forbes). His writing and his thinking are quite interesting, and certainly more worthwhile than anything you will find here.
    • Ouralexander.org - Site discussing informed consent in pediatric medicine, by a family that experienced the worst possible tragedy.
    • RiskProf - An Insurance Blog - A truly marvelous blog. I know risk & insurance are less interesting to most of you than organizing your sock drawer, but this is excellent writing. Besides, if you understand insurance you have the right to complain about it.
    • Schneier on Security - This will be your favorite security blog. Bruce Schneier exposes “security theatre” and proposes realistic problems and solutions. Stay up to date on security policy and IT risk management with CRYPTOGRAM, his email newsletter.
    • The Goodly Mr. Plotkin - My excellent friend Richard Plotkin. Read his musings and insights, or wander through the social network of MySpace users. Several of his blog-friends are people I went to school or knew other ways… I wonder if they will Google me and say ‘hi.’
    • Worlds Healthiest Foods - I love this website. It is all about the nutritional value of foods that are considered ‘healthy,’ with tons of sources cited.
