Episode 220: Quotamation Can Do This with Ahmad and Cyrus Jaffery

Are you sick and tired of your comparative rating system handcuffing your team members and monopolizing their time?

Today I am joined by guests Ahmad Jaffery and Cyrus Jaffery to talk about the latest developments in the insurance industry. The guests highlight the challenges they faced with the quoting process and the inefficiency of the independent channel. They saw the need for a streamlined and personalized customer experience, which led them to develop a platform, Quotamation that simplifies data gathering and quote generation for independent agents. Quotamation allows for the building of relationships with referral partners and providing quick and efficient service to real estate agents, mortgage lenders, and other professionals. Make sure to visit the Unstoppable Profit Producer YouTube channel to watch the video version of the podcast see the visual elements and learn about Quotamation.

Highlights:

• Explains the need to simplify the data gathering and quoting process in the independent insurance channel in order to achieve revenue growth without hiring more agents.
• Independent agents have better client retention than big carriers due to personalized service and lack of education fees.
• Technology can help independent agents stay in the industry despite challenges like weather patterns and advancing technology.
• Building relationships and selling on value are also highlighted as key factors in sales.
• Carriers want data, not risk. Quotes are given, but hitting the risk is the carrier’s responsibility. The client’s needs come first.
• Use technology to make the referral process easier for real estate agents, mortgage lenders, and credit unions. This will result in more referrals and faster service for clients.

About Ahmad Jaffery:

When I pick up a book, I have a hard time putting it down. I want to know how a story

begins, where it leads to and how it ends. This curiosity led me to get an undergraduate

degree in Creative Writing where I focused on poetry & short Prose. After graduating, I decided to pursue my Master Degree in Organizational Leadership at University of Nebraska at Omaha.

I joined CJ Insurance Group in 2019, where I was became the President of Operations for its multiple subsidiary companies. Previously, I worked at LinkedIn, Apple, and owned a video production company called TAAP Media.

Now, as the co-founder of Quotamation, I am passionate about leveraging technology to revolutionize the insurance industry and make it more accessible, efficient, and customer-centric. I believe that technology can be used to create a more personalized and seamless insurance experience, and I am dedicated to making that vision a reality.
