Click year on year turnover doubles as lead conversion rates hit new highs

- Click celebrates excellent trading year and promises more

- Conversion rate the best in the business

- Leads the 'life blood' of a highly competitive industry

CLICK, one of the UK's fastest growing secured loans and life brokers, today announced a resoundingly successful 2006/07 trading year - turnover virtually doubled at over £20 million - and said that much of its continuing success is down to its relationship with the key leads generators across the secured loans and life industries.

As the company - which has only been trading for five years - powers ahead on the back of high consumer demand for its core life and loans products, Click also announces plans to establish itself as THE first port of call for all-important leads generators.

In such a competitive environment, the quality of a finance specialist's leads is likely to be the difference between a successful and a mediocre trading year," said Click General Manager for Business Development, Alastair Cook.

"In our case, we have proved to the generators that we can covert leads more quickly - and more profitably - than any of our competitors. The lead transfer market has established itself as a first port of call, highly viable marketing solution.

"But, once you have the lead, there is nothing more frustrating than it remaining unconverted into solid new business - and that is where Click excels, leaving our competitors at the starting gate," added Cook.

"Our core business is life and loans, and that is it. Many financial services companies spread themselves too thinly over an extensive menu of products, such as mortgages and general insurance, pension and investment planning and the like.

"But in our view this dilutes the company’s effectiveness in leads conversion. As we specialise in life cover and loans, we understand the market better than most, and want to work more closely with the best lead generators in the business," said Cook.

Having recorded its most successful year ever, Click has ambitious plans and targets for the 2007/08 trading year.

"We have invested extensively in technology as well as people to maintain our competitive advantage," added Cook. "Click now has over 250 employees in its Farnham, Surrey call centre, and our sales executives are the most highly trained in the business.

"That is why it is worth generators taking their leads to Click. We have the technological capability, as well as the expertise - and the desire - to secure fast results. And the better the quality of lead, the more likely we are to convert, meaning higher rewards for the generator," he said.

Editor's notes:

Click, based in Farnham, Surrey, is one of the fastest growing independent secured loans and life cover specialists in the UK.

Originally branded Click Group, the company was founded in 2000 by its Managing Director, Steve Teague.

The current structure of the business was introduced in 2001 with the formation of its life insurance and loans brokerages. Since then, the company has grown to employ over 230 staff and has recently branded under the name Click.

Now Click is one of the biggest players in the independent loans and life brokerage sector, and continues to expand with a strong, top drawer management team.

Click has ambitious plans for imminent growth and is on course to become the UK's number one online financial services firms by 2010.
