Our 14-Point Challenge
How AHCP Provides More Value Than The Competition
Our goal is to make your life easier. We focus exclusively on the agent, and the fact that we work with multiple
highly-rated carriers means that we have more products available in more states for you to sell. But that’s just the
beginning. Take a look at our 14-Point Matrix and compare our benefits to the rest of the industry:

Sell The Way You Want
How AHCP Gives You Selling Flexibility
At AHCP, we understand that each agent has his or her own style. That’s why we offer both Paper and Webtronic
app submission, each of which supports a different style and method of selling. Some agents prefer to exclusively
focus on one method or the other, and some like to use both methods.
Paper submission favors the traditional “face-to-face” sales process; you visit your clients directly, complete a paper
app and the client provides you with a “wet signature”. You then mail or fax in the completed app.
Webtronic submission is done via our website, www.ameri-choice.com. It is particularly useful for phone sales,
because you can call the client and walk them through the application on-line. After the application is complete, the
client approves it with an electronic signature and it is immediately sent to the insurance company for review.
Below are a few of the advantages of each method:

How Does the Webtronic Sales Process Work?


For those of you interested in selling by phone, here’s a quick overview of how our Webtronic sales process works.
To be a Webtronic Sales Agent, you’ll need a phone, a PC, and an Internet connection. To get started, a Webtronic
Sales Agent usually relies on leads, which are available through AHCP at no cost through our Lead Credit Program.
As a Webtronic Sales Agent, you will typically communicate with your leads via e-mail and follow-up phone calls.
Once you have set an appointment time to call your client for the full presentation, arrange to have them waiting by
their phone with the AHCP website open on their PC.
Using the AHCP website as your sales tool (www.ameri-choice.com) you can instantly direct the client to any
information they need, create real-time quotes, and type in and submit their application immediately. It’s fast,
it’s easy, and it’s enjoyable! Best of all, it doesn’t matter where your client lives – so you can respond to leads from
anywhere you have a non-resident license.
For those agents who prefer this type of selling, our Webtronic process provides the advantages of reduced overhead
and increased productivity.
Not Sure Whether to Go Paper or Webtronic? Do Both!
There’s no reason you can’t use both approaches to meet your goals. In cases where your client is out of town, or a
personal visit cannot be arranged, you can use the Webtronic option. If your client is close enough for you to visit
personally, you can grab a paper app and some brochures and drive down to see them. With AHCP, either option is
available to you at any time!


Real Wealth Building

“Cycle of Success”
Lead Credit Program
AHCP offers Vendor, Exclusive, and Telemarketed
Leads, available by State or County, and at a great price
– FREE when you use our Lead Credit Program! Here’s
how it works:
• First you submit a few apps. In fact, all you need is
1 or 2 to get things moving.
• For each eligible major medical app that is issued, we
credit you with $35 to spend on AHCP leads. That’s
real purchasing power in your pocket.
• You buy new leads and what happens? You get more
sales. With more sales you get more lead credits
– which allows you to buy even more leads – and the
cycle keeps going!
The net result: your production doubles and so does
your advance and earned income!
