Wow!  It has already been three years since we first unveiled the most informative, comprehensive and reliable website available to the local health insurance brokerage community – www.savoyassociates.com. Our website is not only the resource tool for the employee benefits brokerage community, but our site is also a virtual window which provides a clear view of our organization itself.

From our Broker Tools and Knowledge Base resource library, to our extremely popular Small Group Reference Guide, newly expanded Ancillary Department and Individual Health Insurance sections, Events Calendar and CE Class/Events Schedule, Quick Flash News Updates and our Featured Experts… Savoy Associates’ site is powered by a company of highly dedicated, focused and experienced professionals whose sole purpose is to deliver the highest and most professional level of general agency service and accountability in the industry.

Many of our recently announced new company programs and developments have been fully integrated into the new www.savoyassociates.com.  Tremendous thought, teamwork and careful consideration went into the developmental process. We incorporated much broker feedback and guidance, staff members’ comments and direction, and our own internal website committee brainstorming and insight.

Exciting Enhancements

In conjunction with the launch of our new EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer) program, we recently added the ‘My Savoy’ broker portal area to our website.  Broker partners can now view commission statements, agency profiles, carrier appointments/vendor numbers, and licensing information, and track their progress towards Savoy Associates’ Clean Case Bonuses and certain carrier-sponsored incentives.

As a result of our marketing expansion into areas of New York and Pennsylvania , our Small Group Reference Guide has been expanded to now include these states.  We will soon be adding a 51+ Reference Guide for New Jersey as well, given that our NJ small group pilot Reference Guide has long been the most widely accessed and quoted/emailed page by brokers and carriers alike.  Once again, I would like to credit Joan Fusco, our Director of Research & Education for her tireless efforts and her obsession with factual accuracy when it comes to our Reference Guides.

With our newly launched ancillary department, under the expert direction of Michael Castrillon, we now have begun the process of adding need-to-know ancillary product information and content to www.savoyassociates.com.  We have recently expanded our individual and family health insurance product line and have added various different Medicare Advantage plans.  For our brokers’ convenience, we have added a home page link to our new consumer-facing website, eInsurancePeople.com.  This website is a unique opportunity for brokers to effortlessly refer their individual clients to a retail-friendly site for simplified online quoting and electronic enrollment, and still receive credit for the sale.

Because of our ability to track traffic to the various pages of our website, it is of no surprise that the most popular pages are those that contain legislative updates, reference materials, broker compensation, carrier news and information and CE classes/events schedules.  We plan on adding more value-added reports in an upcoming Featured Highlights section in the near future.  These reports will allow you, our broker partners, to quickly download or link to professionally prepared and easily presentable reports that could be of great interest to you and your clients.  Also in a future release of our site, look for expanded content on consumer-directed healthcare: HSA/HRA and related helpful hot-topics.  Lastly, our impressive roster of carrier partners continues to expand.  We now have additional true general agency contracts in order to better serve you. Please visit the Carrier Partners Section for complete details.

Some Things That Will Never Change

We will continue to use our website to introduce you to many of our respected staff members and to discuss some of their individual contributions as well as the daily processes and procedures of their departments. We will also continue to ask for your feedback.  We need you to guide us and tell us what brokers need today and what you expect from a full-service general agency. We will continue to invest in our infrastructure, technology, and most importantly, our people.  It is because of these continued investments that we have been able to fulfill our long-term commitment to providing outstanding service to you, our valued broker.

In closing, Savoy Associates understands that we are all operating in an intensely competitive and demanding business environment, and to have a solid, strong and lasting business relationship with our broker partners, we need to demonstrate our commitment to you and your clients every day – one transaction at a time.  For this reason, we are continually updating our website.  We strive to make www.savoyassociates.com not only an extremely informative, efficient, and technologically advanced website, but one that can actually help to provide real-time solutions to complicated problems.  We hope that when you visit our website you will view it as a virtual window into Savoy Associates – an organization that is powered by a unique group of dedicated professionals whose goal is to deliver the highest, most professional level of general agency service and accountability in the industry.
