.to Increased Sales in 2007

If money talks, this business roars! Americans are falling in love with motorcycles and off-road vehicles. New unit sales have increased every single year for the past 14 years - up an amazing 318% since 1992. In comparison, total U.S. auto sales increased only 32% during the same period. We're talking 10 times faster growth!

If you're not going after this business, someone else is getting your share. Still not convinced? Here are "Six Sensational" reasons to sell:

  1. Big Market. Big Opportunity. New motorcycle and ATV sales totaled $8.3 billion in 2006. Add in snowmobiles, dune buggies and other types of off-road vehicles and the total market tops $11 billion per year. We're talking millions of new customers every year!
  2. Can You Say "Cross-Selling"? The average new motorcycle costs $12,188. And these aren't kids, either. The typical owner is 47.7 years old with at least some college education. Most of them also own cars, homes and lots of valuable personal property. Do they need insurance? You bet!
  3. Compensation. For every new motorcycle or off-road vehicle policy you sell, you'll get:
    • Excellent commissions - 15% for new business, 12.5% for renewals
    • Farmers new business production count - 3 per motorcycle or off-road vehicle policy
    • Farmers contract value
    • Qualifies for Farmers profit programs
    • Qualifies for underlying on umbrella at a supported rate
    • Qualifies for E&O just like a Farmers auto policy
  4. Lower rates! We've lowered rates in many key areas to make Foremost more competitive than ever. New rates. New features. New selling advantages for you.
  5. Quoting and booking? It's a snap! All you need is ForemostSTAR, our secure online Web site for agents. It's easy to use and incredibly convenient.
