Is your incidence rate (IR) slowing down your survey? A low IR can lead to higher costs, longer timelines, and unreliable data, often due to overly strict screeners or poor survey design. Try this: Review your qualifying criteria and simplify where possible. Small changes like expanding criteria or rewording questions, can boost IR and reduce mid-field surprises.

Turns out, building embedded insurance tech isn’t a side hustle 😮‍💨 To quote our CRO Parker Crockford: ‘you’ve got to be obsessed with it.’ For most insurers and distributors, that’s just simply not the case. Us, on the other hand? 🤓 Providers understand the commercial potential of embedded insurance, but actually building the infrastructure for it is another story. In a wide-ranging interview with Open & Embedded Insurance Observatory, Parker talks about how insurers are overcoming this barrier, why closing the insurance gap is more important than ever and which industry we can look to for inspiration.

As we move to an AI Overviews (Google) or Chat GPT first shopping and research journey, past marketing and SEO strategies and tactics will decline in efficacy. It's time to design digital marketing strategies and tactics that work in an AI first "search" or GEO experience. Evolve to this new economy or feel the pain when you look up one day and your bottom of funnel traffic from search engines has disappeared. Start by reading about the changes. Use different platforms to test how your brand and website / content are or are not appearing. Speak to customers / consumers about their preferences and research practices. Test, test, test. Measure. Rinse. Repeat. https://lnkd.in/eaKpi6ea

How far could a one-person MGA scale with fully-agentic AI workflows? What could they achieve? Where would they fall? The idea of a one-person, $1B-valued MGA is a compelling thought experiment, but it's not realistic. The insurance business is, and will remain, people-intensive. The real question isn't about replacing underwriters, but amplifying them. How far can AI augment a seasoned expert's judgement to increase throughput and improve outcomes? If every MGA has access to similar AI tools, the technology itself isn't the differentiator. Your competitive advantage lies in your data, judgement, and relationships. Read our take on the possibility of a one-person unicorn insurance business, and discover where AI can empower underwriters and actuaries today, as well as in the future: https://lnkd.in/e_An989G

Reminder for Producers: You’re not just selling your expertise to insureds. You’re also selling risk to underwriters. And if your submission is sloppy, incomplete, or half-ass? It’s an automatic “no”. So give your submissions the attention to detail they deserve: - Organized loss runs - Clear and detailed narratives - Completed supps and acords Put as much thought into presenting the risk as you did presenting yourself to the insured. Because you need two yeses to win.

Small businesses power our economy—but they've often been left behind by the insurance industry. In our latest blog, we explore why that’s been the case and what’s changing. Traditional models weren’t built for the nuance of SMBs. But with better data, smarter tools, and MGA expertise leading the way, the gap is finally starting to close. At Accelerant, we’re focused on helping MGAs deliver the kind of coverage and support small businesses actually need—tailored, transparent, and built for long-term impact. Check out the full blog to see how the industry is evolving—and why this shift matters now more than ever: https://lnkd.in/g-tqzUVs

In today’s rapidly evolving marketplace, independent insurance agencies aren’t just competing on price or product. They’re competing on efficiency, adaptability and connectivity. According to the 2024 Agency Universe Study, a resounding 63% of agents said “identifying operating efficiencies” was the single most critical factor for success. And yet, many agencies still find themselves overwhelmed by the sheer pace of change in technology, especially when it comes to artificial intelligence (AI), integrations and workflow optimization. But here’s the good news: You don’t have to do it all tomorrow. What you do need to do is to create a thoughtful, intentional plan for the future. Full article below! https://hubs.la/Q03G5ryL0

Your product catalog has hundreds of plans. Your agents spend hours navigating them. What if they could just ask? We built the InsureMO AI Product Assistant — a conversational agent that sits on top of our Product API and turns complex insurance product data into instant, accurate answers. Here's what it does in under 2 minutes: 🔍 Search → Ask for available products. Get a live list pulled directly from the API — no menus, no filters, no guesswork. 📋 Deep Dive → Pick any product and get the full definition — benefit types, sales dates, product codes — in seconds. ✅ Rule Check → Ask "Is this plan available in HKD? USD? RMB?" The agent checks against actual code table values and gives a precise, rule-based answer. No hallucination. No assumptions. 📊 Compare → Request a side-by-side comparison across savings plans. The agent aggregates data on the fly and builds a comparison table highlighting term lengths and key features. This isn't a chatbot with canned responses. It's an AI agent that reads, reasons, and responds using your live product data. From simple search to complex advisory — in one conversation. 🎥 Watch the full demo (2 min) ↓ Woody Mo Rajat Sharma Frank Xing Vishal Pai Ken Slevin Tauqeer Khan Sandeep Bastikar Ankit Agarwal Saurabh Mehta Kuldip Sarma Chuck Gomez RK.
