In today's world of online convenience, it needs to be supplemented with thorough training to ensure a positive experience for the customers. This is just another example of SAC's commitment to their customers, agents, and dealers having a successful relationship.

Smart AutoCare has reached multiple milestones since being acquired by Fortegra. This vertical alignment has allowed SAC to have access to a vast knowledge base regarding consumer products. With Fortegra’s 40 years of experience in the consumer products market and SAC’s 30 years in the automotive protection business, they are now a vertically integrated powerhouse.

Smart AutoCare plans to share more this year about their cutting-edge training program at Agent Summit.
