The real problem is what happens after the lead comes in.
I learned this the hard way running my own agency. We were spending money to generate leads…and quietly bleeding revenue because calls went unanswered, follow-ups were delayed which caused clients to go to a competitor.
As an independent agency owner, this is likely happening in your business or will happen as you grow your business.
1. Where Does The Revenue Leak Happen?
It comes from, missed calls during lunch, off hours and busy hours. Slow response times to inbound calls cause leads to hand up before you get to the line. Inconsistent follow-up or none at all. CSRs are stretched thin doing admin work instead of helping sell.
None of that feels dramatic in your day-to-day but compounded over weeks and months? It’s devastating.
2. Speed with your skills in necessary
Most agents lose deals not because they weren’t good, but because they weren’t fast enough. In today’s fast paced world, insurance shoppers don’t want to wait. They will move on to the next agency that will respond quicker. Even a 10 minute delay can cut your bind rate down. That’s an operational issue.
3. The “We call them back same day.” Is Costing You Money
Every missed call is a moment of intent. And intent expires quickly, By the time you call them back that are talking with another agent and is having their coverage bound.
4. The Fix Isn’t Hiring More Staff
Hiring another CSR may feel like the answer, but it’s more expensive than ever to do that with staff demanding more pay. What most agencies need first is coverage, not headcount.
If you want every call to get answered, every lead to be captured and opportunities generated, this is exactly what BindPulse was built to fix.
