Life Design Analysis vs. Vertafore ReferenceConnect

We recently showed a "potential client" who is now a client a comparison of an insurance product he was sold to a strategy we would have recommended and they were blown away at the difference. So much so, they cancelled the current product and went with our recommendation. The presentations are very powerful.

Vertafore ReferenceConnect is well suited within an organization with many users, who are trying to turn out policy submissions and gain information quickly. It is also well suited for individuals who are trying to learn more specifically about classes of business, what types of insurance coverage is recommended, and what the policies are based on. It opened my eyes to a lot of exposures for class codes that I was not particularly aware of, due to the fact that I am a new agent, and I would recommend this be used for agents who have less than 5 years experience.

• So many features - make sure you take the time to find out all the features available and how to use them.

• Sometimes the site navigation is not the most fluid.
• Sometimes I get logged into a particular carrier's section and have to log out and log back in - not sure the reasoning.
• It does not always recognize my description so finding the class code is sometimes harder than expected.

I have never seen another product like Life Design Analysis and I don't believe there is another one out there that can do the same. If there is one, I would have a hard time believing it has the same features and capabilities as Life Design Analysis. (LDA) The reports are unmatched.

Unfortunately, I have not used any additional software programs like Vertafore ReferenceConnect so I am unable to compare them. I do know that my insurance agency likes the capabilities that it has and is not looking for alternatives at this point - this can only speak to the benefit to the organization.
