Fitted to how your agency hands off a call.

Producers, CSRs and a front desk sharing lines all day. We start by mapping how your agency actually answers: new quotes, service, claims, and which producer owns which client. Then we build the phones, the after-hours AI and the network around it.

How we fit it

How we fit it for an agency.

Every agency splits quotes, service and claims its own way. We write that down first and build the system to match it, so nobody at the agency changes how they work.

  1. 01

    Map who handles what

    Who takes new quotes, who handles service, who gets claims, and which producer owns which client. Written down and approved before anything is ordered.

  2. 02

    Route the lines

    A direct line for every producer, a service group for the CSRs, and a main number that sends quotes, service and claims where your agency already sends them.

  3. 03

    Key the front desk

    A key for every producer at the front desk, so the person answering sees who is free and hands the call off in one press.

  4. 04

    Script the after-hours AI

    An AI receptionist in the agency’s name, scripted with you: what counts as an urgent claim, who is on call, and what waits for the morning.

What goes wrong

Four vendors, one busy agency.

Most agencies have a phone company, an IT person, an internet provider and a web designer. The problems sit in the gaps between them.

Phones
Calls land on the wrong desk, the front desk cannot see who is free before transferring, and producers end up handing out their cell numbers.
After hours
A claim call at 9 p.m. lands in a voicemail box nobody checks until morning.
Network
Carrier portals and the agency management system crawl when the internet is shared with everything else, and calls break up at the same moment.
Computers
Shared logins, a workstation nobody has updated, and no record of who has access to what when someone leaves the agency.
Website
A quote form that goes nowhere, on a theme nobody maintains, under a domain login nobody can find.

What we manage

The agency’s whole desk, under one agreement.

  • 01

    A direct line for every producer

    Each producer and CSR gets their own number, so clients reach the person who wrote the policy instead of starting over at the front desk.

  • 02

    Desk phones with BLF and sidecars

    The front desk sees who is on a call before transferring. Yealink phones are configured and labeled for each seat before cutover.

  • 03

    After-hours claims, answered

    The AI receptionist answers in the agency’s name, takes the claim details, and connects the urgent ones to the producer on call. The transcript is in the inbox before the office opens.

  • 04

    Call recording on the lines you choose

    Recordings stored and retrievable when a question comes up about what was said on a call, for E&O and for training.

  • 05

    The agency number on producers’ mobiles

    The mobile app calls out from the agency number. Personal cells stay personal, and client calls stay with the agency.

  • 06

    A network that puts voice first

    A business firewall with voice QoS, so calls keep priority over carrier portal downloads, rating software and backups.

  • 07

    Accounts, workstations and offboarding

    Microsoft 365 or Google accounts, workstation updates and access handled when someone joins the agency, and when they leave.

  • 08

    A site AI search can read

    Quote and contact requests delivered to the agency inbox, on a site built so Google and AI assistants can read it, hosted and kept current. An insurance agency on a site we built now gets leads from ChatGPT.

From our work

When calls break up, every vendor says its side is fine. Running the phones and the network they ride on as one firm is how this one got found.

Network

Choppy calls, and a switch nobody suspected.

Situation
A client’s calls kept breaking up. Each of their other providers said its side was fine.
What we found
The phones’ own call diagnostics pointed to the PoE switch in the equipment closet, which was producing collisions in its managed configuration.
What we fitted
We corrected the switch configuration and the calls cleared. The phones and the network they ride on are now run by one firm.

A typical setup

What an agency usually runs on.

Illustrative. Every office is scoped at the walk-through. Nothing is installed that the business does not need.

Phones
Yealink desk phones with BLF keys at every seat; a sidecar at the front desk
Numbers
Main line on an auto attendant (new quote, existing policy, claims); a direct line per producer
Call handling
Service ring group, call parking, voicemail to email
After hours
AI receptionist in the agency’s name; urgent claims warm-transferred
Recording
On selected lines, retained according to the agency’s own policy
Mobile
Mobile app for producers who work outside the office
Network
Business firewall with voice QoS, PoE switch, guest Wi-Fi kept separate
Computers
Managed workstations, Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, backups
Website
Agency site with quote and contact forms, hosted and maintained

Start with a walk-through

Let’s walk the agency.

We map every line, desk phone, switch, workstation and account, and hand you a written design of what we would build and run. Then you decide.
