The company, which distributes its products exclusively via independent agents, has been recognized many times in recent years for providing extraordinary support to agents often investing in technology and process improvements which will boost agent productivity.
“Digital transformation is critical not only to carriers, but to agents as well,” said Ben Salzmann, president and CEO of Acuity.
“As we continue to develop digital distribution capabilities, our independent agents are a natural inclusion in the overall strategy, and a big part of the reason we are working with Talage,” said Wally Waldhart, vice president of sales for Acuity. “This integration demonstrates our commitment to simultaneously expanding our digital distribution channels and empowering our agents with the digital tools needed to be successful.”
