The Amacore Group, Inc., (OTC BB: ACGI), a leader in providing health-related membership benefit programs, insurance programs, and other innovative and high-quality solutions to individuals and families nationwide, today announced that it has signed a five (5) year marketing agreement with Quality Resources of Clearwater, Florida, to market one of Amacore's brands, Lifeguard Health Options, a discount medical plan custom-designed for Quality. Quality Resources will offer these products through its Clearwater call-center with plans to expand its marketing efforts to Amacore's vast array of other insurance and non-insurance benefit offerings.
Jay Shafer, President of the Amacore Group, said, "This is a terrific arrangement for both companies. Quality Resources has been around more than a decade, and in that time, it has established itself as one of the premier direct response multi-channel contact centers in the country. It has over 200 contact center sales representatives focused mainly on value-added Lifestyle and Healthcare benefits and services. We project that Quality will be able to make in excess of 25,000 sales per month once the program is in full swing. We believe that this custom-designed program illustrates the depth and range of Amacore's services, and it proves a template for similar agreements with other contact centers around the country.
Cheryl R. Mercuris, Chairman & Founder of Quality Resources, said, "We are very excited about the full service capabilities Amacore and its subsidiary Lifeguard provide. From billing, customer service and fulfillment to product design and implementation, Amacore has everything we are looking for. It is rare to find that all under one roof, and our 200 contact center representatives have already begun selling this custom-tailored program.
