Cloudia Assistant

Cloudia Assistant is not your typical CRM created for several industries. Cloudia was created for professional agents/agencies who need a constant flow of information for their prospects and, for retention purposes, their clients.

Cloudia was produced to bring business to you and help you retain that business once obtained. Whether your lead is hot or just bought from someone else, Cloudia will continue keeping you in front of that prospect until they want to try something different and when they become hot again, you are the person they remember and trust, especially when the last time they searched for information they received 50+ calls from other agents. Now, you will be the only one to call; and you know it is much easier to sell when someone is calling you instead of you calling them.

Several managers utilizing Cloudia Assistant, with their many distractions (recruiting, training, management reports, meetings, etc.) no longer make cold calls. They have so many people calling them they have no time for cold calls and yet, remain the top producers for their respective companies.

Cloudia Assistant offers the following powerful features for professionals:

• Best Drip Marketing rates available with multiple concatenating campaigns working simultaneously
• Lead Tracking and Organization based on the folder setup of your choosing
• Leaderboard and Shared Folders for Group Motivation and Teamwork
• Customizable Viewing of Data the way You Want to See It
• Automated Commission Calculation system
• Quote Engine (for Health related products)
• Free Training and Technical Support
• Data security like no other: Managers can't take agent's lead; agents can't take company leads
• Marketplace to Purchase Leads from various integrated Lead Generation companies
• Integrated Predictive Dialer and Soft Phone (additional expense)

One of the greatest features of Cloudia Assistant is the price. At only $29.99 per seat, out of the thousands of CRMs available, there is nothing even close to Cloudia’s value at the professional level and we haven't raised our prices in 5 years..

Call 817-778-4508 or e-mail info@cloudiaassistant.com for more information, demo or Click Here to Sign-Up for a free 15 day look.  Please place “NAEPC” in the field “Referred by” and you will receive 30 days free trial.

Disinherit the IRS

Help your clients Disinherit the IRS

In today’s competitive financial services industry, you need more than just a license to sell insurance, securities, and investment products.

Studies on generational marketing reveal a different kind of decision-making process is now taking place in America.

That's why Author and Family Wealth Preservation Specialist - E. MICHAEL KILBOURN dusted off his best-selling book Disinherit the IRS, and rewrote it in 2014.  Written by NAEPC member E. Michael Kilbourn, and estate planning attorney Brad Galbraith, The Florida Domicile Handbook, is a great way to enhance your client education efforts.

Estate Planning Smarts: A Practical, User-Friendly, Action-Oriented Guide, By Deborah L. Jacobs

A lawyer and award-winning journalist makes readers more comfortable addressing a stressful topic. This book can educate clients before and after they meet with advisers. Estate Planning Smarts stands out from other books on this subject by:

• Explaining complex principles in simple terms
• Humanizing estate planning, with anecdotes about the estate plans of Paul Newman, Michael Jackson and others
• Including an action-oriented “to-do” list at the end of each chapter
• Recommending against a do-it-yourself approach, encouraging readers to seek professional advice and offering suggestions about how to find it

“A terrific guide for people who are just beginning to grapple with estate planning, as well as those who have (or think they have) their affairs in order.”
– The Wall Street Journal

“This is a category killer: a book so good there’s no need for anyone else to cover the same material.”
– Kaye Thomas, tax lawyer, author, founder of Fairmark.com

“Simple—but not simplistic— this is a book you can feel comfortable giving as a business generating action oriented holiday gift.”
– Steve Leimberg’s Estate Planning Email Newsletter
