Adam Kiefer on InsurTech That Actually Helps Agents (Part 2)

You're logging into seven carrier portals every morning and wondering why you can't prospect. The math on your wasted hours would make you sick.

Craig and Jason sat down with Adam Kiefer to dig into this — no theory, just what works, what failed, and what you can steal for your own book.

The Tool Clutter Problem

Most agents don't lack technology — they have too much of the wrong kind. Three overlapping subscriptions, two systems that don't integrate, and a CRM configured once and abandoned. Audit what you pay for monthly. If you haven't logged in within 30 days, cancel it.

What Actually Saves Time

Highest-ROI tech for agencies under $3M: comparative rater ($100-200/mo), CRM with automated sequences ($75-125/mo), VoIP with recording ($30-50/mo). Total: $200-375/mo. Time saved: 8-12 hours/week. The key word is implementation — buying and configuring are different things.

Integration Is Everything

Before adding any tool: does it sync with what you have? If your CRM doesn't feed your AMS, you're creating work, not cutting it. Best stacks aren't expensive — they're connected. One data entry, multiple outputs.

Start Here This Week

Track how many times you enter the same client data into multiple systems for three days. Multiply by five. If it's over 50, that's a solvable integration problem worth fixing this month. One system at a time.
