After submitting a commercial application, returned quotes can be reviewed directly in Momentum CL RATE. Depending on the carrier and market, quote results may include premium, coverage information, quote documents, status updates, and available binding options. From the quote results, you can review the carrier response, download available documents, send selected information back to Momentum AMS, and continue the binding process.
Viewing Returned Quotes
Once carriers return results, you can review the quotes inside Momentum RATE.
Returned quote information may include:
- Carrier name
- Premium
- Coverage details
- Quote documents
- Binding options
- Status updates
The information and actions available may vary depending on the carrier and how the market is accessed.
Direct Appointment Quotes
Quotes received through your agency's direct carrier appointments may provide different options depending on the carrier.
Some carriers allow you to continue the binding process directly within Momentum RATE.
Other carriers require you to bridge to the carrier's portal to complete the final binding process.
Follow the available action for the returned quote to continue the process.
MomentumWIN Quotes
Quotes received through MomentumWIN use a different binding workflow.
For a MomentumWIN quote, the action button will display Request to Bind.
Select Request to Bind when you are ready to move forward with the quote. A MomentumWIN representative will then reach out to assist with completing the binding process.
Send Quote Information to Momentum AMS
Once you have reviewed the quote, use Send to AMS to push application and quote information back into Momentum AMS.
This allows you to:
- Store selected quote results in the AMS.
- Keep the AMS record updated.
- Continue managing the policy workflow within Momentum AMS.
Best Practice: Review the quote and application information before selecting Send to AMS to make sure you are sending the appropriate information back to the management system.
Download Quote Documents
When documents are available from the carrier, select Download to download the quote documents.
Downloaded documents can be useful for:
- Reviewing the carrier's quote.
- Presenting quote information to the client.
- Comparing coverage options.
- Maintaining documentation for the agency's records.
Document availability depends on what is returned by the carrier.
