The Problem
Independent insurance brokers face a constant struggle: balancing lead generation with providing personalized service. Potential clients, especially small business owners, often visit their websites after hours with urgent questions about complex products like liability insurance. Traditional contact forms are passive and result in high drop-off rates, while manual follow-ups are time-consuming and inefficient. The broker needed a way to engage, qualify, and book appointments with high-intent leads 24/7, without hiring more staff.
Our Solution
We developed the Appointment Agent, a sophisticated conversational AI embedded directly on the broker's website. This isn't just a simple chatbot; it's an intelligent scheduler designed to streamline the client acquisition process from start to finish.
- Intelligent Qualification: The agent asks targeted questions to understand the visitor's needs (e.g., "What type of business do you run?", "Are you looking for professional or general liability?"). This pre-qualifies the lead before any human interaction is needed.
- Real-Time Calendar Integration: Using the Google Calendar API, the agent checks the broker's real-time availability and offers specific, bookable time slots to the client.
- Automated Booking: Once a time is selected, the agent collects necessary contact details and automatically creates a calendar event for both the client and the broker, complete with a confirmation email and a pre-meeting summary.
The agent acts as a tireless digital assistant, ensuring no lead is ever missed and every potential client feels heard and immediately valued.
Tangible Impact
The Appointment Agent transformed the broker's lead generation and operational efficiency:
- 40% Increase in qualified appointments booked per month.
- 24/7 Availability captured leads that were previously lost outside of business hours.
- 8+ Hours Saved per week in manual administrative tasks like email follow-ups and scheduling.
- Improved Client Experience by providing instant answers and a seamless booking process, boosting the broker's professional image.
