Four brokers bought the same lead. One of them called first
Commercial insurance broker
Quote enquiries reach the right specialist in seconds, on record.
The business
A brokerage working commercial lines, buying shared enquiry data and running its own quote pages. Speed is the entire competitive position.
The challenge
- A shared lead is sold to several firms at once, so response time decides who gets the conversation.
- Enquiries were arriving by form and being picked up whenever someone next checked.
- Compliance needs a record of what was said, and notes typed up afterwards are not that.
What was set up
The quote page rings the desk
Visitors asking for a quote are connected to a broker in about 28 seconds rather than entering a queue behind an email inbox.
Routed by line of business
Fleet, liability and property go to the broker who writes that class, so the first conversation is with someone who can actually quote it.
Recorded and logged as a matter of course
Every callback is recorded and written to the CRM against the enquiry, with the source attached, so the compliance file builds itself.
What changed
- The brokerage is the first call the enquirer takes, not the third.
- Enquiries land with the specialist rather than being reassigned after the first conversation.
- The record of what was said exists without anyone writing it up.
