So we have to be really clear with our communication if we want to be effective. So that involves having meetings. We've talked about it over and over and over again, but these meetings have to be focused and goal oriented.

Building Trust and Using AI in Scaled Insurance Agencies

If you’re running an insurance agency today, or thinking about what you’d do differently, there’s one thing you can’t ignore: how AI is shaking up the way we all do business. When you’ve got an agency with any kind of scale, or you’re working within a bigger captive system, leaning into AI isn’t just the smart move—it’s the necessary one.

But here’s the thing I’ve seen that makes all the difference: use AI where it truly works best, right up front. Let it help answer those first questions, filter out the tire-kickers, or take care of that routine busy work. When you’re dealing with hundreds (or thousands) of inquiries and quotes, AI helps you keep things running without driving your team into the ground.

Let’s not kid ourselves, though—there are hiccups. We’ve all been those frustrated customers or agents, stuck when the system doesn't get it. But every agency I’ve seen really crushing it with AI is ready to bring in real humans for the moments that actually matter. And that’s the piece most people miss. When the situation gets complex—those high-value, high-emotion, high-stakes cases—that’s when you bring your human team to the table. That’s when our real value shines through.

So if you’re building your book today, focus on doubling down where humans matter most. Complex coverage questions, emotional claims, sensitive life moments, or those nuanced commercial accounts… that’s where you create loyalty and real relationships. People aren’t just looking for another faceless agent. Especially as more of our industry gets automated, a real person who genuinely cares, who listens, who solves the real problems—that’s going to be worth more than ever.

Trust is not going out of style any time soon. Machines can answer questions, but they don’t build trust. Your clients need to believe you’re a real person on their side, not someone just trying to close the next deal or, worse, scam them. As the tools we use become more advanced, the human relationships at the core of our business become even more essential. That’s where we win—and where we stay relevant, no matter how smart the AI gets.
