Internet leads don't stay warm for long. Some agents are getting a head start by collecting policy information before they even pick up the phone. Here's how they're doing it.

An agent, a lender, a rental counter, and a fleet manager all share the same insurance data problem. They just feel it in different places. New post on the real cost of "good enough" data and why it's time to raise the bar.

A prospect trying to remember their own deductible on a phone call is not a data source. It is a guess with confidence. New post on what changes when that data shows up already verified instead.
