Turn quote activity into trackable leads (without losing follow‑up)
Quote tools are valuable when they feed a pipeline. The goal isn’t more quotes — it’s more bound policies with compliant, documented files.
The quote-to-bind cadence
Most quote leakage happens because follow-up isn’t scheduled. Use a simple cadence and document outcomes.
- Day 0: Quote delivered + next step scheduled
- 48–72 hours: Follow-up (questions + objections)
- Day 7: Final check-in (decision or close file)
- Before binding: Compliance checkpoint + documents stored
- After bind: Renewal timeline created (90/60/30)
| Outcome | What to log | Next action |
|---|---|---|
| Bound | Coverage + notes + docs | Set renewal reminders |
| Not now | Reason + timeline | Follow-up in 30 days |
| Lost | Reason + competitor | Close file or nurture |
Compliance still matters after the quote
Quote tools don’t remove your responsibility to document. Add a mini-block after quoting to keep files audit-ready.
- Consent + disclosures confirmed
- Needs analysis documented
- Recommendation rationale recorded
- Documents stored
Best practice: CRM-first (then quote tools)
If your goal is CRM subscribers, treat quote tools as an accelerator after the workflow is stable.
