Drivers Can Use Online Quotes And Save Car Insurance Money


News Image

“Comparing car insurance quotes online will help you find the cheaper car insurance that is worth your money,” said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

Compare-autoinsurance.org has released a new blog post that explains how to use car insurance quotes online and compare prices.

Getting insurance quotes is essential for those looking for cheaper coverage. The insurance market is highly competitive, making it easier for customers to get really affordable plans and high-quality services. Websites like http://compare-autoinsurance.org/ allow customers to get multiple quotes at once and discover which company has the best deals in the area.

Drivers can compare car insurance prices online. Online quotes are provided by either insurer or by brokerage websites that cooperate with insurers. Either way, it is important to get as many quotes as possible and compare them. In only takes several minutes to finish an online questionnaire.

Generally, a number of 10-15 quotes will be more than enough to start comparing prices. It is important to know that quotes for different types of insurance should not compare in between. A quote for collision coverage should not be compared with one for comprehensive coverage. Also, when comparing quotes, make sure to quote the same coverage options – deductibles, coverage limits, add-ons, and payment options.

There are two ways to get quotes: from an insurer or from the brokerage website.

If a person gets quotes directly from providers, it would take them about 5-10 minutes to fill in a form and wait for results. We are talking about extended forms, not submit forms with 3-4 questions. For ten quotes, it may take that person for almost two hours. This is why most people usually stop at 5 quotes using this method.

However, the alternative will provide a high number of quotes in the shortest time available. Using brokerage websites will help to get 5-10 quotes on a single page, with a single search run. After getting a reasonable number of quotes, at least 5, then the customer should start comparing policies. Always make a top of the highest rated companies and try to get quotes from them.

Compare-autoinsurance.org is an online provider of life, home, health, and auto insurance quotes. This website is unique because it does not simply stick to one kind of insurance provider, but brings the clients the best deals from many different online insurance carriers. In this way, clients have access to offers from multiple carriers all in one place: this website. On this site, customers have access to quotes for insurance plans from various agencies, such as local or nationwide agencies, brand names insurance companies, etc.

ATP CaseBank Opens New Canadian Headquarters


ATP CaseBank®, a leading provider of information services and software solutions for the aviation industry, officially moved their existing Toronto-based team into a new facility designed to support the ongoing growth of the company. Acting as a Canadian headquarters to compliment the company’s current presence in San Francisco and Austin, the new offices will serve as the primary software development, marketing, and project management base for the company.

Located on the 12th floor of 5800 Hurontario Street, the new Mississauga facility offers panoramic views of the Toronto skyline, Lake Ontario, and the ever-important views of planes landing at nearby Pearson Airport – the majority of which are ATP CaseBank customers. With room to manage the eventual doubling in size of the Canadian team, the new space was designed to be an open and collaborative space suitable for a leading aviation technology firm.

“Our entire team worked extremely hard to create a space that would help foster a more creative, collaborative, and enjoyable environment for our diverse team of professionals”, noted Mrs. Catrona Pacheco, Head of People at ATP CaseBank. “This is a space where a creative marketing team will work alongside engineers on new and exciting projects, where sales and professional services can collaborate more effectively, and where top talent will want to join and be a part of an innovative and dynamic aviation technology business.”

Earlier this year, ATP CaseBank added new members to their executive leadership team, who will be based out of this new facility. This new office is designed to support the doubling in size of the engineering, customer support, marketing, and professional services teams based in Canada over the coming 2-3 years. These teams will be working on advanced software to support multiple customers – including the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II where the company’s SpotLight® troubleshooting solution is an official Canadian supplier.

The new office address for ATP CaseBank in Greater Toronto is as follows:

New ATD Research: Effective Workplace Learning Evaluation


News Image

“Being able to attribute achievement to the effects of a learning program is challenging, particularly when there are several variables present such as economic conditions, sales incentives, or new products and services.” —Kristopher Newbauer, Rotary International.

Making the business case for training and development is critical to preserving training budgets, but it remains a challenge for many organizations. According to new research from the Association for Talent Development (ATD), 40 percent of training professionals believe their organization’s evaluation efforts are effective in meeting business goals, and not many more, 50 percent, believe their efforts are meeting learning goals. These findings are just a few of many in ATD’s Effective Evaluation: Measuring Learning Programs for Success.

Investment in employee development is on the rise—ATD’s 2018 State of the Industry report finds that learning expenditure per employee has increased for the last six consecutive years—so proving that these expenditures are paying off and strategic learning and business goals are being accomplished is critical in today’s workplace. The data in this report shows that there is a strong need for organizations to improve the effectiveness of their evaluation efforts.

“Being able to attribute achievement to the effects of a learning program is challenging, particularly when there are several compounding variables present such as economic conditions, sales incentives, or new products and services,” says Kristopher Newbauer, chief human resources officer and head of global people and talent at Rotary International. He is quoted in the research report.

Key findings from the Effective Evaluation report, sponsored by Profiling Online, are:

  • The top barriers to conducting learning evaluations were the difficulty of isolating the effects of learning programs, a lack of access to the data talent development professionals need to conduct higher level evaluations, and the costs of conducting higher level evaluations.
  • Less than half of organizations (43 percent) use big data (extremely large datasets that may be too large or complex for traditional data software to handle) as a data source for evaluations. Some of the most common challenges organizations face when managing big data are communicating findings from data and analyzing data.


“Organizations that value evaluation are much more likely to attract and retain employees with evaluation skills,” says Rotary’s Newbauer. “To the extent that evaluation work is taken seriously and used with good intention for improvement, their work feels more meaningful. And meaningful work is critically important to engagement and retention.”

To learn more about the research findings and the challenges that organizations are experiencing when evaluating development programs, access the full research report at http://www.td.org/evaluationreport.

About ATD

The Association for Talent Development (ATD) is the world’s largest professional membership organization supporting those who develop the knowledge and skills of employees, improve performance, and help to achieve results for the organizations they serve. Originally established in 1943, the association was previously known as the American Society for Training & Development (ASTD).

“Drivers can pay less on their car insurance premiums if they follow several money-saving methods”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

Compare-autoinsurance.org has launched a new blog post that presents several methods that will help drivers pay lower car insurance premiums.

For more info and free car insurance quotes, visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org/tips-on-lowering-car-insurance-costs/

Everyone wants to pay lower car insurance rates. But the costs of car policies are always increasing. Policyholders can keep the costs of insurance under control, or even lower them. All they have to do is to follow the next tips:


  • Modify the deductibles. To obtain cheaper car insurance, drivers can agree to pay more money from their budget If they have to make a claim. Policyholders should put away the money necessary for filing a claim.
  • Policyholders can drive less. Insurance companies can lower or increase the costs of car insurance based on how many miles a policyholder is driving his car. Drivers who use their cars less can qualify for a low mileage discount.
  • Keep only the coverage they need. Policyholders should carefully analyze if keeping the full coverage on an old vehicle is still worth it. For cars that are older than 10 years, full coverage is useless in most cases.
  • Bundle policies. Policyholders should consider bundling all his policies into one. Insurance companies will offer large discounts for drivers that bundle multiple policies like homeowner’s insurance and car insurance.
  • Apply for a usage-based insurance program. This type of coverage is getting more popular. A small telematics device is installed in the policyholder’s car, in order to send data about the driving habits of the policyholder. Drivers with good driving habits are rewarded with large discounts.
  • Check discounts. Drivers should contact their insurance agent and see if they are eligible for additional discounts.
