The Problem

Renewals Lapse and Quotes Go Quiet Between Your AMS and Inbox

It shows up as your book grows. Your AMS holds the policies, but prospects, X-dates, and follow-ups live in sticky notes and memory.

  1. 01 · Lost X-dates

    Prospect renewal dates sit on sticky notes and get lost.

    X-dates load as CRM reminders, so producers quote again before the policy renews.

  2. 02 · One-touch quotes

    Producers send a quote once, then move on.

    A quote pipeline with follow-up tasks keeps every open quote moving.

  3. 03 · Single-line clients

    Auto clients never get asked about home or umbrella cover.

    Cross-sell campaigns reach single-line clients with the next policy they likely need.

  4. 04 · Late renewals

    Renewals get attention only when the notice arrives.

    Renewal tasks appear weeks before expiry, with the client's history attached.

A prospect asked for a home and auto quote in June and said her policy renews in September. That X-date is on a sticky note that fell behind a monitor. Your producer sent the quote once and moved on. Many of your auto clients have no home policy with you, and nobody has asked them why. Your AMS holds the policies, but it wasn't built to chase prospects. When the renewal notice lands, the client shops elsewhere first.

We start by splitting the jobs: policies stay in your AMS, while prospects, quotes, and follow-ups move to the CRM. Then we build quote and renewal pipelines, load X-dates as reminders, and set up cross-sell campaigns for single-line clients. Texts and calls run only with consent stored on the record. Renewals get worked weeks ahead, not the day the notice lands.

  • X-dates that resurface

    Prospect renewal dates load as reminders, so you quote again weeks before their policy expires.

  • Cross-sell for single-line clients

    Campaigns offer home, umbrella, or life cover to clients who hold one policy with you.

  • Consent on every record

    Opt-in for texts and calls is captured and stored, so outreach starts from documented consent.

Our Insurance CRM Setup Process

From AMS Review to a Renewal-Ready Pipeline in Five Steps

You approve the CRM choice, the split between AMS and CRM, and every campaign, and your producers test with real quotes before launch.

  1. We look at your AMS, lead sources, quoting tools, and how producers follow up today. You get a short written plan. If the sales tools inside your AMS already cover you, we'll say so before we quote.

What's Included

What You Get With a CRM for Insurance Agents

Every plan covers the CRM choice, quote and renewal pipelines, and X-date reminders. Higher plans add routing, cross-sell, consent-based texting, AMS sync, and migration.

  • A CRM chosen around your AMS

    AgencyZoom, AgencyBloc, HubSpot, or Salesforce compared on AMS links, lines of business, and per-user cost.

  • Quote and renewal pipelines

    Stages from quote requested to bound, plus renewal stages that start weeks before expiry.

  • X-date reminders

    Prospect expiration dates loaded as tasks, so producers re-quote at the right time each year.

  • Cross-sell campaigns

    Email and text offers for home, umbrella, or life cover, sent to clients holding one line.

  • Consent capture and 10DLC

    Opt-in stored on each record and your texting number registered before any campaign goes out.

  • AMS contact sync

    Applied Epic, EZLynx, or HawkSoft contacts kept in step with the CRM where the vendor allows it.

Projects We've Built

Insurance websites, an insurance app, and finance SaaS projects our team built, where every quote request had to reach the right person.

What Our Clients Say

What Clients Say After Launch

Feedback from teams we have built websites, dashboards, and integrations for.

We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.

Work Culture

Why Agencies Trust Us With Their CRM

Agencies run on renewals and trust. These habits keep your CRM working for producers without putting your clients or your license at risk.

  • Policies stay in the AMS

    We keep policy data in your agency management system and use the CRM for selling. Two systems holding the same policy drift apart within months.

  • Consent before outreach

    Every text and call campaign checks for stored consent first. TCPA claims are expensive, and one careless list upload can start one.

  • AMS tools checked first

    If the sales features inside your AMS cover your needs, we set those up instead. You pay us only for the gaps they leave.

  • Fair producer routing

    Leads route by line, territory, or round robin, with rules your producers can see. Clear rules end arguments over who owns a household.

  • Your agency owns the book

    The CRM account, contacts, and campaigns sit in your agency's name. If a producer leaves, the relationships stay with the agency.

  • Renewals worked early

    Renewal tasks start weeks before expiry, not the day the notice arrives. Clients who hear from you first are less likely to shop around.

Good fit

  • Independent P&C agents

    You write home and auto for local families, and X-dates live on sticky notes. You want a CRM for insurance agents that remembers them for you.

  • Agencies with several producers

    Your agency has five producers sharing web leads, and nobody owns follow-up on open quotes. You need routing and a pipeline everyone can see.

  • Life insurance agents

    You need a CRM for life insurance agents that tracks applications through exams and underwriting, then reminds you of policy reviews.

  • Health and Medicare agents

    You're a health agent bracing for enrollment season, and you need a CRM for health insurance agents that handles the surge in calls.

  • Commercial brokers with account teams

    You place commercial lines through account teams and want a CRM for insurance brokers that tracks submissions and renewals by account.

Not a fit

  • Financial planning practice

    Your business is investment advice and financial planning, not policy sales. Our CRM for Financial Advisors service is built around households and reviews.

  • Mixed business beyond insurance

    You sell well outside insurance and want one simple CRM for every line of work. Our CRM for Small Business setup fits that better.

  • Custom insurance software

    You need quoting or claims software built from scratch. That's a custom software project, not a CRM setup, and we quote it separately.

  • Budget under $950

    Your budget is under $950, or you're a solo agent with a small book. The sales tools inside your AMS are enough for now.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers on cost, AMS versus CRM, choosing a platform, and day-to-day use.

  • Insurance CRM setup starts at $950 for one agency with quote and renewal pipelines, X-date reminders, and up to 2,500 contacts. Agency workflows with routing, cross-sell, and consent-based texting start at $2,400, and multi-line migrations start at $4,950. The CRM vendor bills its license separately, usually per user per month.

  • Most agencies are live in 2 to 3 weeks. Adding routing, cross-sell campaigns, and texting takes 3 to 5 weeks, and migrations with full notes and several lines take 5 to 7 weeks. Texting registration with carriers can add a few days, so we start it early in the project.

  • CRM stands for customer relationship management. In an insurance agency, it's the system that tracks prospects, quotes, renewals, and every conversation with a client or household. It sits beside your agency management system, which holds the policies themselves, and focuses on selling and retention. Many agencies simply call it their sales system.

  • In insurance, a CRM is the sales and retention side of your agency. It reminds producers of X-dates, keeps open quotes moving, flags renewals weeks ahead, and finds clients who hold only one policy. Your AMS answers what a client owns, and the CRM answers who to call next and why.

  • It works by turning dates and gaps into tasks. Web quote requests become leads with a line of business and a producer. X-dates and renewal dates create reminders, and cross-sell rules flag single-line clients. Campaigns send emails and texts only to contacts with stored consent.

  • Agencies need CRM software because retention and cross-selling depend on timing, and timing slips without reminders. A client who hears from you before renewal is easier to keep than one who sees a rate increase notice first. A CRM also shows which producers follow up and which leads convert.

  • Often yes, because they do different jobs. An AMS such as Applied Epic, EZLynx, or HawkSoft manages policies, commissions, and servicing. A CRM manages prospects, quotes, and campaigns. Some AMS platforms include basic sales tools, and if yours covers your needs, we'll tell you before we quote.

  • Start by giving every client a next touchpoint: a renewal review, a cross-sell offer, or a birthday note. Then make sure every open quote has an owner and a follow-up date. A CRM for insurance agency teams turns those habits into tasks, so service doesn't depend on who remembers.

  • Agencies choose by testing AMS connection, support for their lines of business, and how easy the CRM feels for producers. Per-user cost and texting features come next. We run that comparison with your real quotes and renewals before you commit, so the choice rests on your own workflow.

  • The right pick depends on your lines of business and your AMS. AgencyZoom is built for P&C agencies, AgencyBloc focuses on life and health, and HubSpot or Salesforce suit agencies that want broader marketing or custom workflows. We match the CRM to your book before you sign up.
