CRM & automation for insurance agencies

In most verticals a slow first response is a missed opportunity. In an agency it is a written-off purchase, because the lead was paid for before anyone touched it. That makes the routing question two questions rather than one: how fast, and to whom. A producer who cannot write that product is a dead end dressed up as a dispatch.

What usually breaks

Before anything gets built.

The same failures recur across insurance agencies & agents. Strygon maps the specific system before proposing anything, but these are the ones worth checking for.

Bought, then aged

A purchased lead is worth most in the first minute and close to nothing the next day. Most sit in a shared inbox until a producer works down to them.

Unready producers

Objection handling gets learned live, on leads the agency already paid for. A rep who is not ready yet costs policies rather than training hours.

Source blindness

Spend goes to three vendors, policies get written, and nothing joins the two. The lag makes guessing feel reasonable.

The approach

What Strygon does about it.

CRM & automation infrastructure, aimed at those failures specifically rather than at a generic checklist.

The clock starts at purchase, not at contact

Lead age is a field on the record from the moment the vendor posts it, so a lead that has been sitting reads as a problem rather than as one more row in a list.

Routed by product and appointment, not by rotationCRM & automation

Routed by product and appointment, not by rotation

The lead goes to someone who can write it. Round-robin distribution is what produces the callback that arrives two days late from a producer who then refers it on anyway.

Aged leads get a scheduled second lifeCRM & automation

Aged leads get a scheduled second life

Leads that went cold move into re-engagement on a timetable instead of being abandoned in a list, because the agency already paid for them once.

04CRM & automation
Contact and consent history sits on the recordCRM & automation

Part of the scoped build

Contact and consent history sits on the record

What was said and when is stored against the lead rather than in a producer's phone, so the agency still holds the history after the producer leaves.

Start

Send the situation in a paragraph. Strygon comes back with a read on what’s likely wrong and what it would take to fix, before anyone talks about price.

Most builds start withleads dying in an inbox., three half-finished pipelines., follow-up nobody owns., numbers that never agree., four vendors blaming each other.

What to send
