E-mailing Individual Quotes We are excited to announce that you can now e-mail individual quotes directly from Accel-A-RateSM! After creating a quote for your customer in Accel-A-Rate, an e-mail option will appear in the right-hand corner of the screen. After clicking the button, you’ll be taken to a screen where you can customize the message sent to your customer. You will be able to make changes to the quote after e-mailing it. All you need to do is log into Accel-A-Rate, pull up the proposal and make the change. Your customer will not be automatically notified of the change; you will need to e-mail the updated proposal again. Additionally, your customer will be able to initiate the enrollment process from the e-mailed quote. Commission credit will go to the agent who created the quote. Quotes sent directly from Accel-A-Rate will only be available until the requested effective date and will not include any Personal Health Information. We’ve created and attached a step-by-step guide of the process. Please contact your marketing representative with any questions.

You can now e-mail individual quotes directly from Accel-A-Rate! It’s quick and easy; just follow these four simple steps:
