None of these is where the money is leaking. Start where it breaks.

The phone

One day at a normal agency:
12 am9 am · office opens5 pm · office closes11 pm
8
hours someone can answer
16
hours it rings out, plus every call while the CSR is on another line
What the owner of a $9M agency told me
His team calls people back while they're at work. By the time they're off work, the office is closed.
Every missed call is a missed quote. And nobody leaves a voicemail saying they went somewhere else.

The owner's OS

Steps 1-4 replace work your team does. Step 5 replaces work you do.
What's stuck this week?
3 renewals due Friday with no quote yet. 12 new leads not called back. 1 endorsement waiting on your approval.
Who's on the renewals?
Sarah has 2, the third has no owner. Assign it?
Illustration. It only works once systems 1-4 feed it.

What I would never automate

The advice
What coverage someone actually needs. AI does the typing. A licensed person does the advising.

A broken process
Automate a mess, get a faster mess. Fix it on paper first.
