Insurance Brokerage Operations

We help mid-size insurance brokerages close the gap between the technology they have and the results they need.

Practical AI. Real implementation. No large IT projects.

Most brokerages don't have an AI problem — they have an execution problem. The technology exists. The gap is in how your team actually works.

Three operational areas where mid-size brokerages lose time, revenue, and clients

01

Submission & Quality Assurance

Poor submission quality costs you carrier relationships, placement speed, and E&O exposure. We assess where your process breaks down and implement AI-enabled workflows that improve accuracy, reduce rework, and get your submissions to market faster and cleaner.

  • Reduced carrier follow-up rate
  • Lower E&O exposure
  • Faster placement turnaround
02

Client Service & Revenue Expansion

Most brokerage service teams are reactive by default. We redesign client service operations to be consistent, proactive, and systematic — and build in the cross-sell and upsell triggers your team is currently missing.

  • Defined response time standards
  • Systematic cross-sell triggers
  • Coverage gap identification
03

Churn Management

Brokerages rarely lose clients at renewal. They lose them 90 days before renewal when nobody called. We build early warning systems and retention workflows that tell you who’s at risk before it’s too late — and what to do about it.

  • At-risk client identification
  • Retention rate tracking
  • Proactive engagement workflows

Four steps from diagnosis to results

We don't advise and disappear. We come in, assess what's broken, fix it, and stay involved to make sure it sticks.

1

Diagnose

A structured audit of your operations across all three pillars — scoring your process, technology, people, and data against a clear framework. You get a specific picture of where the gaps are and what they're costing you. Delivered in 2–3 weeks.

2

Design

We build your future-state operating model. Which AI tools get deployed where. What processes get redesigned. What your team does differently. You get a concrete plan, not a slide deck full of recommendations.

3

Implement

We do the work. We configure the tools, redesign the workflows, and train your team. This is where most consultants stop short. We don't. No large IT projects, no custom builds, no lengthy implementations.

4

Optimize

We stay involved. Monthly check-ins, performance tracking, and ongoing refinement ensure the results stick and compound over time.

What this looks like in practice

Commercial Lines Brokerage — Atlantic Canada

65 employees  •  $22M revenue  •  Applied Epic  •  No dedicated IT

Renewal seasons were chaotic. Account managers were buried in reactive service work with no time for proactive renewal preparation. Submission quality was inconsistent. The brokerage had no visibility into which clients were at risk. The COO was about to hire two more account managers.

Diagnostic score: 17 / 36

34% 9% Carrier follow-up rate
2.1 days 4 hrs Service response time
15% 61% Cross-sell conversation rate
~84% 91% Client retention rate
“We didn’t need more people. We needed better processes and the right tools. Cabot AI didn’t sell us a technology project — they fixed how we actually work.” — COO, Commercial Lines Brokerage
Engagement investment $112,000
Estimated annual value retained $340,000

Built for the brokerage the big consultancies ignore

The brokerages we work with are run by people who feel the operational pain directly — and have the authority to fix it. If renewal season is chaos, carrier relationships are fraying, and your best account managers are buried in reactive work, we should talk.

Sound familiar?

Your account managers are buried in reactive work — certificates, endorsements, emails — and there's no time left for the proactive conversations that actually retain clients.

Your carriers are pushing back on submissions. The rework is eating hours your team doesn't have and relationships you can't afford to lose.

You just lost a client you didn't see coming. No warning. No process that would have caught it. Just a cancellation notice and a producer scrambling for an explanation.

That's exactly what we fix →
