FAQs
- Do small agencies need lead scoring?
- Informal lead scoring — mentally ranking which prospects to call first — happens in every agency. Formalizing it in a CRM pays off when a producer is managing more than 30–40 active prospects simultaneously. Below that threshold, manual prioritization works adequately.
- Can lead scores be shared with carriers?
- Some InsurTech platforms allow agencies to share enriched prospect data with carrier partners to obtain pre-qualification signals. This is most common in commercial lines programs where carriers have defined appetite parameters they are willing to share in advance.
