Independent agencies · Captive agents · Call-in quotes

A quote request is only worth the minute it arrives in.

Insurance leads are rarely exclusive. The same person filled in the same form on an aggregator and it went to you and to several other agencies at the same second. Whoever reaches them while they are still holding the phone gets the conversation.

The problem is that your producers are licensed and finite

You cannot put a licensed producer on every inbound ping at every hour, and you should not want to — most of what arrives is not yet a quotable risk. Producers spend the first minutes of every lead establishing things a script could have established: line of business, state, current carrier, renewal date, whether the person on the form is the named insured.

Meanwhile the leads that came in at 8pm sit until morning, by which time another agency has already quoted them.

There is a hard line here we do not cross: Iris qualifies and books. It does not quote, it does not bind, and it does not give advice that requires a licence. It gathers what your producer needs and gets the appointment on the calendar.

And which one you can skip

Iris Setter

Answers the aggregator lead within seconds by text and answers the inbound call by AI voice. Establishes line of business, state, renewal timing and whether they are the named insured, then books a licensed producer. The transcript goes on the record so the producer opens the call already briefed.

Iris Dialer

For the renewal book and for aged lead lists your producers work in blocks. Parallel dialing means a producer spends their hour talking rather than listening to ringtone — and calling windows are enforced against each number's own timezone, which matters when your book crosses state lines.

A realistic walkthrough — mechanism, not a case study

This is an illustration of how the system behaves, written from what the product does. It is not a customer story and the times are not measurements.

  1. 20:12An aggregator posts an auto quote request. It goes to you and to three other agencies in the same second.
  2. 20:12Iris texts first: confirms the name, confirms it is auto, asks the state, the current carrier and when the policy renews.
  3. 20:15They answer: two vehicles, renewal in eleven days, currently with a national carrier, and they ask what you can do on price. Iris does not give a number — it says a licensed producer will quote it, and offers 9:20am or 1:00pm tomorrow.
  4. 20:169:20am is booked. The record carries the line, the state, the renewal date, the vehicle count and the full transcript.
  5. 09:20Your producer opens the call knowing the renewal date and the incumbent carrier, and spends the whole call quoting instead of interviewing.

The obligations that stay with you

  • Licensing, quoting and advice. Iris qualifies and books; the regulated conversation belongs to your producer.
  • What your script is allowed to say about coverage and price.
  • Consent for the leads you buy, and any federal DNC scrub your calling program requires.
