Impact Technologies Group, Inc., was founded in Salisbury, NC, in 1981 with the goal of developing presentation and illustration software for the life insurance industry. With the knowledge that insurance is sold, not bought, Impact has not only survived life insurance market-fluctuations, but also prospered in continuing to create and effectively market its products over the last 22 years.
Impact develops and markets insurance illustration software that, when properly used, greatly enhances an agent's ability to make convincing and professional presentations. The software is designed so that agents have all the necessary provisions to successfully illustrate the advantages of proper financial planning, and, in particular, how suitable life insurance policies can protect a prospect's business or estate. We also produce numerous software packages that deal with everything from college funding to payroll deduction and employee benefit presentations. Impact works closely with some of the country's biggest insurance companies in developing and marketing custom presentation packages. You will find most of the major insurance companies on Impact's impressive client list, including New York Life, Prudential, Metropolitan Life, Allstate, Nationwide, Principal Financial Group, and AXA Advisors, among others.
Impact has thrived under the conviction that its product is success for its clients. Technology is only the medium that Impact uses to deliver that product. This philosophy is what sets Impact apart from its competitors. Combined with a relentless drive toward perfection and an on-going pursuit of the latest technology, Impact's philosophy has secured the company's status among the insurance industry's leaders.
Impact's commitment to developing and using the latest technology is evident in the patent the company received on December 26, 1995, for its Confidence TechnologyT. Aware that the technology needed to deliver client success has to be state-of-the art, innovative, and user friendly, Impact developed this unique system, which produces instantaneous explanations for calculations generated within a computer sales presentation. Confidence TechnologyT solidifies agent and consumer confidence in the numbers generated by software programs, enabling agents to make more convincing presentations. Impact believes that this patented method can be expanded beyond the insurance illustration software industry. Consequently, the company plans to market Confidence TechnologyT to other software developers whose products use complicated formulas that users might not understand.
With Confidence TechnologyT, its highly successful Estate Technologies software package, and the MaxcessT illustration platform, Impact has positioned itself far ahead of any of its competitors in offering highly effective software to the industry over the years to come.
