Support Teams for Insurance Agencies
Insurance is a servicing business that people mistake for a selling business. The renewals, endorsements and certificates are where the retention is — and where the producer’s week disappears.
What producers should not be doing
- Gathering quote information and entering submissions
- Issuing certificates of insurance and evidence of property
- Policy checking against the binder
- Endorsement requests and processing
- Renewal preparation, remarketing data and expiry chasing
- First-notice-of-loss intake and claims status follow-up
- Carrier portal work and document retrieval
- CRM and agency management system hygiene
We place support staff, not licensed producers. Anything requiring a licence — advising on coverage, binding, quoting as an act of solicitation — stays with your licensed people. Where the line falls depends on your state or jurisdiction, and that is your compliance question, not ours to answer for you.
Roles we place in insurance
| Role | What they take off your plate |
|---|---|
| Insurance verification assistant | Eligibility, benefits and authorisation verification with documented references |
| Data entry and back office | Policy administration, document management and system hygiene |
| Appointment setter | Renewal reviews and new business meetings booked and confirmed |
| Live chat and support | Client servicing enquiries handled in writing during your day |
| Executive assistant | Calendar, correspondence and follow-through for agency principals |
| CRM virtual assistant | Keeps the pipeline clean — deduping records, logging activity and firing renewal reminders |
Systems
Applied Epic, AMS360, EZLynx, HawkSoft, QQCatalyst, Salesforce and the carrier portals you work in daily. Name yours in the brief; portal fluency saves hours every week and does not transfer between systems.
Data handling
Insurance files contain more personal and financial data per record than almost any other industry we support. NDA before access, individual named logins, access logging, minimum-necessary permissions, and office-based work with controlled screens.
Frequently asked questions
Can they quote?
They can gather information, enter submissions and prepare comparisons. Whether that constitutes quoting or solicitation depends on your jurisdiction’s licensing rules, and that determination is yours to make with your compliance advisor.
Can they work in our carrier portals?
Yes, with named credentials you issue. Portal experience is something we screen for specifically because it is where the time actually goes.
Do they handle claims?
First-notice intake, documentation and status follow-up. Adjusting and coverage decisions stay with licensed staff.
How quickly can someone start?
Three matched candidates within 72 hours of a confirmed brief, and typically a start date under a week after that.
