    For international students, 9 or 10 months with auto insurance. People who want to avoid spam calls from searching online.
    The biggest concern is getting a good price and many would say, “if I get the same price, why don’t I go directly to the insurance company? “ Bolt is good for new drivers , except for people have a long time relationship established with an existing company.

    Benefit vs. effort. Will keep in mind to recommend when opportunity comes and not as a hard sell. Putting the platform first would be distracting from the main purpose of the main work. I'm sure we'll always have clients with the need and everyone is concerned about getting the best rates and that's what makes the Boltz platform attractive.

    Support Rating
    bolt
    The pre-contract support is great. I tried the after service and found it created more complications than buying a policy directly from a company. 1. support is limited, which means I have to contact the insurance company directly in the end. There's a limit to accessing the account. 2. When closing the policy, I can't do it directly with the company and have to contact Bolt. This is after being trained to contact the insurance company directly.

    The trainer provided inspiring methods for client engagement and how to introduce Bolt. Stated key benefits and why to do this. Provided leaflet and shown step by step for using the platform. I think the best was building credibility toward Bolt as a company and why to trust and what benefits it brings.

    Return on Investment
    bolt
    • I had a foreign client that got confused and I spent hours helping him by making calls with the insurance company and Bolt.
    • Commission took 3 months.
    • I have a client feedback saying it’s too expensive and bought from somewhere else the 2nd year. When he purchased was his first policy in the US.
