How can Jackalope benefit you?
TIME SAVING:
You will no longer have to wait 2-3 days for a response. You will save time shopping different markets AND you will save your clients’ time too!
INSTANT INDICATIONS:
There is no limit on how many indications you can run per day! An indication is an estimated, non-binding rate based on the answers you provide, such as coverage options and loss history. Additional information will be required if you would like to receive a quote or instant bind.
MULTIPLE CARRIER OPTIONS:
When your instant indications appear on the screen, we offer multiple rates from multiple carriers.
INCREASED BUSINESS FLOW:
Receiving instant indications through Jackalope will save you time that allows you to focus on growing and advertising your business!
AGENT FRIENDLY:
Jackalope is a complete online service. Not only are we saving you the hassle of having to deal with paperwork, but we have created a full online process with an easy navigational system.
What is Jackalope’s pricing?
Jackalope has two pricing plans: A Silver plan that offer instant indications and a Gold plan with an option to submit a formal application and bind instantly. More details coming soon.
Can I cancel my subscription at any time?
Yes. You will not be charged to cancel your subscription.
Can Jackalope provide me with a bindable quote?
Yes! We provide this option to our Gold plan users. Depending on which carrier, agents can complete an application and have the option to instantly bind.
Can I save the rates that I receive?
Yes! We even provide the option to download a copy of your results in a PDF format so you can present them to your client.
Can I request a formal quote from Jackalope?
Yes! We provide this option to our Gold plan users. Once your instant indications appear on the screen you will have the option to request a formal quote.
What happens if rates are not available for certain class codes?
Do not worry! If rates are not available for a particular class code, you will be directed to our regular online workers’ compensation application where one of our underwriters will find the best market for your risk. Key factors to consider that can affect the premium rate:
Payroll · Risk Class Codes
Experience Modification Factors
Claim History
Is there a limit on the number of indications I can request?
There is no limit!
No really, What is a Jackalope?
Jackalope is a mythological creature. We chose the name Jackalope because it represents lightning speed, just like our workers compensation rates!
Do you work with more than one carrier?
Yes, we do. We work with multiple carriers!
Details & Availability
At this moment in time, Jackalope is only available in California. The application will soon be available in other states. In order to use this application, agents must be licensed in California and their clients must be domiciled in California.
Not only can Jackalope provide instant indications but it can also show which carrier is available for a bindable quote. Agents will have the option to request a formal quote after submitting the Jackalope application.
If a class code is entered that is not eligible for an instant indication, agents will be re-directed to our Bigfoot Workers Compensation application. An underwriter will find the best market for the risk submitted.
What does the Jackalope team have to say?
Ben Shoemaker, Vice President: “The new Bigfoot platform will revolutionize the quoting process enabling agents to focus on their agency rather than data entry.”
Kate Birtch, Chief Marketing Officer: “We have built a digital product that will make agents and brokers heroes. Why try and quote 3 separate carrier option and wait days for a response when you can get an instant indication/quote within minutes.”
Sara Bullock, Program Manager: “Jackalope will be a game changer! It is a time saving technology for both agents and brokers. We are streamlining the quoting/binding process by providing a complete online service.”
“It is an exciting time to be building online solutions that help our nation’s business owners find and secure work comp coverage.”
What happens next?
Once Jackalope has launched, we will upload helpful resources to the Bigfoot website, including demos, agent training, and FAQs.
