An iEnfluence - BizCover Conversation

It's always wonderful to hear some positive feedback about our unique way of handling professional indemnity insurance (Please click here to visit BizCover Professional Indemnity Insurance). I have been in touch with Jason from iEnfluence, also a new start-up. His feedback and information about his own business is below.

To the BizCover Team:

You have a very unique business model that sounds very promising. With today's litigious society, professional indemnity insurance is not only wise to have, but almost a necessity. The consulting industry is growing at a very rapid pace, and start-up companies are finding it to be a barrier of entry to an industry without some kind of consulting help.

Being that your business specializes in indemnity insurance, I can imagine that you receive many different situations where your services came in quite beneficial, or would have been beneficial if you were sought out earlier. It's situations like these that we learn from, stay away from, and plan and protect ourselves from. With that being said, I can't go on enough about the need for protection and proper planning in business models.

Being that my background comes from being a Controller/CFO of small to medium companies, I can't urge enough that proper planning, decision making, and insurance coverage is crucial. Brokers often get in the way. They don't always look out for your best interest, because they might not have a job if they did. Time is money, and business owners often don't have time to look at the various benefits of insurance companies. Just a few more reasons I hope you great success with your company and your future endeavors.

About Us:
With the advent of the internet as a medium for networking and commerce has increasingly popularized the construction of real estate specific websites. Alas, this popularity will be shortly curtailed as consumers discover that currently all of these websites fail to deliver one key aspect - direct communication between buyers and sellers. On the web, marketing products is much more efficient and provides an excellent resource for collaborative conversation. iEnfluence plans to create the first white-label real estate platform that allows brokerages to generate leads more effectively, their sellers to list houses for a reasonable fee, and for everyone to gain access to a target audience that is connected through a social community.

The simple mission is to help individuals sell their homes with ease, and more efficiency without breaking the bank. Used in conjunction with the MLS, iEnfluence will become the largest engine for real estate transactions online. As the existing real estate market continues to suffer, individuals are looking for newer, more innovative ways to market their homes. In a vastly expanding online "social media" market, iEnfluence will become the partner that real estate firms seek.

The iEnfluence platform offers a search engine for consumers to locate real estate listings in their area. The iEnfluence platform also provides a marketplace for home owners to sell their properties. Through an internal social community, the iEnfluence platform will link buyers to sellers and provide an environment for education. iEnfluence partners will guide sellers through the process of pricing the home, therefore making it easier to sell. The engine generates price statistics based on current MLS data and will tell the seller how many days their home is expected to be on the market at a specific price. Buyers gain advantages such as reward points, direct communication with the seller, and access to community feedback about the general area the home is listed in. All these things are restricted utilizing traditional models currently employed by companies such as Remax, Prudential, and Century 21. The iEnfluence platform is the only real estate engine available that is both buyer and seller driven, an important factor in attracting visitors. Real Estate firms will be trained on how to use the platform to generate leads and close deals.

Thanks for offering us a window into your world, and we hope that we can one day cross paths in the business world.

Regards,
Jason Sanchez

We would like to thank Angus from Lifehacker for the excellent write-up about BizCover and our unique way of selling professional indemnity insurance.

BizCover Quotes, Sells Professional Indemnity Insurance

Getting home or car insurance online is pretty standard these days, but more specialised insurance categories can be harder work. If you're self-employed and work as a contractor in many fields (including IT), professional indemnity insurance is a key requirement. Comparison site BizCover generates custom quotes based on your business size and activity, and will sell you the insurance directly if you find a deal that suits. Indemnity insurance is hardly glamorous, but better to hunt it down online than suffer from an unexpected lawsuit later.
