Ritter Unveils Agent Use Only Forums
Posted in About Ritter Insurance Marketing, Website on May 13, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
In our continuing effort to keep you up to date on news that’s important to you, we’re introducing our “Agent Use Only” forums. Often times, I am not able to publish specific details on a particular topic (such as Medicare Advantage/Part D information or insurance company rates) due to the fact that this blog is “public” and can be viewed by Medicare beneficiaries.
Since the forums require authentication (you must be signed into http://www.ritterim.com to view them), I am able to publish much more specific information. Better yet, you can “Subscribe” to particular forum you are interested in “following” (such as Florida Insurance News, Texas Insurance News, etc.) and you will receive an email notification when we’ve updated the boards you are interested in! You can also comment on the Articles we publish.
In the coming weeks, I’ll be adding to these Forums, so check back frequently and be sure to “SUBSCRIBE” (upper right section of the forum) to the ones you are interested in following to stay up to date!
