Partners Advantage InsuranceServices, Inc. http://www.partnersadvantage.com) and Loyalty PerformanceInsurance Marketing (http://www.loyaltyperformance.com), two market leaders catering to the world of insurance and financial professionals, announced Dec. 18 at their annual meeting that they will bring together their collective resources to create the industry's most comprehensive insurance marketing organization. The new company, which will be called Partners Advantage Insurance Services, Inc., will be headquartered in Colton, California, and will offer a vast array of insurance carriers, resources and services to insurance and financial professionals.

Loyalty Performance Insurance Services co-founder and President Brian Schneier said, "The new Partners Advantage Insurance Services will be completely different than what PAIS and LPIM are today. It will truly be the best of both companies. Together we will boast an outstanding management team along with the industry's best web-based insurance portal and professional services. Our combined resources and talent will create a higher quality of service for the insurance and financial professional. Our reach will be broader and more in-depth than either of us could develop individually."

"The combined resources of these two companies are tremendous," said Partners Advantage Insurance Services founder and President, Scott Tietz. "Combined, the new PAIS offers more than 5,000 active agents access to 40 of the highest rated carriers in the industry and the most comprehensive web tools on the Internet. Our services and marketing programs will provide an unparalleled resource for every licensed insurance professional."

In addition to its next-generation marketing programs and Internet portal, the new PAIS has a strong focus on agent support and service. Equipping agents with revolutionary marketing concepts and an online portal making forms, software, carrier contracting, and sales ideas available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week allows the independent agent to dramatically increase productivity and expand the carriers they can offer.
