Franklin, the insurance receptionist
Insurance

Meet Franklin, your insurance receptionist.

Franklin answers the number you forward, takes the caller's name, number and what they need — in the words an insurance agency actually uses — and writes one sentence on the record. From $49 a month, on the full EngageSuite360 CRM shaped for insurance.

How Franklin answers
Franklin saysThanks for calling your business, this is Franklin. I'll take your name, number and a note for the team.

Then Franklin listens. Short sentences, one question at a time, the number read back once, and what happens next: you call back.

What callers usually need

Franklin sorts every call into the words your trade uses

That word is in the sentence Franklin writes, so your callback list reads like a insurance desk, not a voicemail box.

Why every call matters in insurance

The call you miss is the one that goes elsewhere

A quote request that waits a day is a policy written by whichever agency called back first. Franklin answers that call, every time, and you decide what happens next.

By the numbers: In a secret-shopper test of 25 leading US insurers and agencies, online quote requesters waited an average of 2.3 days for a phone call, and 39% never received a call back. Source: Velocify, Insurance Industry Online Buyer Experiences study (press release via PR Newswire), 2014.

The CRM, in insurance words

Callers become policyholders, and work becomes policies

Every plan includes the EngageSuite360 CRM, set up for insurance from the first login. Franklin writes each call onto the right record in those words.

Policies stages

Quote Request → Information Gathered → Quotes Compared → Quote Presented → Policy Bound → Renewal Review

Insurance records

  • Policies — active insurance policies
  • Claims — filed and in-progress claims
The record

What is on the CRM after a call

One sentence, on the contactJeff called from (727) 555-1212 — new quote, wants a call back this afternoon.

The caller becomes a contact, the company is matched from the number, and the sentence is emailed to you. No recording, no transcript on the Starter plans — that is the AI Front Desk plan, one rung up, same number, same CRM.

Pricing

How much is an AI receptionist for a insurance business?

From $49 a month. There are three Starter sizes — $49, $149 and $299 a month — and the only thing that changes between them is how many inbound minutes are included; the smallest is 250. Every one of them answers each call, takes the name, the number and what the caller needs, writes one sentence on the record and emails it to you, on the full EngageSuite360 CRM. If you need the calls heard, texted and booked too, the AI Front Desk plans start at $397 a month with unlimited inbound minutes. Annual billing is two months free, and the 7-day trial takes real calls and charges nothing until day 8.

What does Franklin say when answering?

"Thanks for calling your business, this is Franklin. I'll take your name, number and a note for the team." Then Franklin listens, takes the name, the callback number and what they need, reads the number back once, and says you will call back.

What does Franklin never do?

Franklin never quotes a price or a range, confirms an appointment time, sends a text or an email, transfers the call, or pitches anything. On the Starter plans it is one logged sentence and you call back; the AI Front Desk plans add transcripts, texting and booking.

What lands in my CRM after a insurance call?

A contact (or the one you have), the company when the number matches, and one line on the record that names what they needed — new quote, policy change, claim, billing or payment, proof of insurance. The same line is emailed to you.

What does the CRM call my policyholders?

Policyholders, with policies moving through Quote Request, Information Gathered, Quotes Compared, Quote Presented, Policy Bound, Renewal Review. The EngageSuite360 CRM in every plan is set up for insurance, with policies and claims as records of their own.

Why does a missed call cost a insurance business so much?

A quote request that waits a day is a policy written by whichever agency called back first. Franklin answers every call you forward, so that caller reaches someone.
