MORE THAN A COMPARATIVE RATER

Bold Penguin Terminal

Think the Terminal is just a comparative rater? Think again.

The Terminal, like most comparative insurance raters, helps agents gain efficiency by comparing multi-carrier insurance quotes. 

Instead of contacting individual carriers one by one, insurance agents can use a comparative rater to quickly and easily access quotes from multiple carriers, allowing them to write more business. 

But the Bold Penguin Terminal does so. much. more…

Agents need more

Commercial agents looking to grow their business need a leading complete quote and bind solution – one that includes comparative rater functionality, but also leverages data intelligence to help agents:

  • understand their clients’ business.
  • access a larger pool of appointments.
  • intuitively find the right coverage for their clients.
  • unlock new revenue streams with lead generation opportunities. 

The Bold Penguin Terminal is not just a tool for comparing insurance quotes. With a Bold Penguin Terminal subscription, agents achieve higher quote yields, bind more premium, see profit margins increase and thrive in a digital landscape.

Features that make the Terminal more than a comparative rater for insurance quotes

We’ve been known to make a bold statement now and then. But affirming that the Bold Penguin Terminal is more than a comparative rater is not just bold, it’s a fact. Here are eight important reasons why:

One universal, streamlined application

The Terminal condenses the business insurance quote application process down to one universal form, removing duplicate data entries in the application process.

Bold insights

Our state-of-the-art quotes and commissions dashboard gives agencies a powerful, data-driven edge. The Terminal puts comparative rater insights, quotes, and commissions all in one place to help track performance and make smarter strategic decisions to help their clients.

Carrier access

Aggregate access to your direct appointments, enabling a straight-through process to the carrier’s portal. Even without a direct carrier appointment, you can apply for a sub-appointment through the Bold Penguin Terminal to unlock additional market access, activate the comparative rater, and offer your customers more coverage options.

Integration with other Bold Penguin products

Unlike a standalone comparative rater that stops at providing quotes, Bold Penguin's platform integrates seamlessly with other products, like the Exchange, which is the largest prospect marketplace for small commercial insurance. The Exchange delivers commercial insurance leads to agents and targeted prospect acquisition within preferred risk profiles. Agents can also monetize leads and unlock new revenue opportunities from out-of-appetite risks.

Intuitive NAICS code recommendations

Every business is unique, which makes the process of quoting insurance complex and vulnerable to coverage gaps without an enhanced comparative rater. The Terminal features intuitive NAICS code guidance to give agents confidence that each customer’s unique risk profile will be comprehensively insured.

Secure API enhances collaboration and transparency

While other comparative raters might just “screen scrape” information, Bold Penguin offers carrier partners a secure API integration. This ensures that agents receive only accurate, current information on comparative insurance rates from carriers.

Appetite search tool

Explore carrier appetite for any risk across all carriers available on the Terminal before starting an application.

Real-time eligibility

See small business insurance quotes immediately during the application process.

The old way vs. the Bold way

When you see it side-by-side, there’s no comparison. With the “Bold way,” the small business insurance quoting process is streamlined, efficient, and data-based. We think the old, limited, manual way is for the (other) birds.

OLD WAY

Multiple
application forms

Scattered emails, voicemails, faxes, and spreadsheets

Handful of direct appointments = limited coverage options

Random
NAICS code expertise = coverage gaps

Limited information regarding time spent and agency performance
BOLD WAY

One
, universal application

Streamlined
digital quote comparisons in one place


Broad market access = increased coverage options

Integrated
NAICS code recommendations
Informed data-driven decisions based on enhanced reporting of automated workflows

Filling out multiple ACORD forms to quote a commercial insurance policy can be time-consuming and prone to error. The Bold Penguin Terminal simplifies that process. Just fill out one universal application that will quickly populate applicable fields when a selected ACORD form is downloaded. From there, you have the ability to quickly edit the form as needed before sending it off to markets.
