PDS Summer Agent Meeting
June 16-19th, 2009
Newport, Rhode Island

Our quaint setting of Newport, Rhode Island proved to be a spectacular locale for fun and business alike. The historic Hotel Viking, with its award-winning ambiance and character, provided a scenic backdrop for attendees and guests to enjoy this beautiful part of New England.

This year's Summer Agent Meeting workshops were a terrific environment to launch several new technologies and applications and showcase expanded agent applications.

 
Workshop #1- Premier Easy Choice menu, eCapture, Lifetime Limited Powertrain Warranty, and other PDS Lifetime Products captured attendees' attention. This meeting presented creative ideas to enhance floor traffic, increase service write-ups, and expand service traffic.
 
Workshop #2 - Opportunities and Options through Reinsurance was a round-table discussion using the talents of some of our sponsors and preferred vendor relationships to field pre-determined questions.
 
Workshop #3 - The Premier Access and Premier Essential web-based breakout session showcased the new enhancements to our Premier Access tools. This system offers convenience to our agent partners for eRating, eContracting, and eRemitting for several products. Users can also perform service authorizations, order supplies and much more.
 

Activities outside the meeting were enjoyable for everyone. For those choosing not to golf at the beautiful and challenging Green Valley Country Club, a privately guided tour of Newport's magnificent mansions was available. The final night's celebration included a traditional New England Clam and Lobster Boil at the Newport Yachting Center.

Thank you to all of our sponsors and valued partners, including our Star Partner for 2008 -- John Topits of Midwest Agency Services, Inc.
