There's Still Time! Speak Up & Get a Complimentary Survey of Carriers

There is still time to speak up, agents!

Please participate in an important new national survey of independent agents, sponsored by Insurance Journal.

If you provide an e-mail address when you complete the survey, you will receive a summary of the findings - and a chance to win a drawing for a new iPad Mini!

The survey probes deeply into the most important factors in the agency-carrier relationship. It'll uncover what agents want most from carriers with whom they do business.

This is an anonymous opportunity to tell company decision-makers how you choose your carriers-and exactly what makes great companies superior to others. The survey includes a mix of questions so you can make your opinions clear.

The survey, conducted by Channel Harvest Research, should take only 10-15 minutes to complete. For information about the survey or Channel Harvest, go to http://www.channelharvest.com.

Thank you for joining in this important research effort.
