On this installment, insuretech exec Ilya Filipov outlines how artificial intelligence will help insurance marketers. This new generation is called agentic AI, where an “agent” mimics the work of a human in approaching problems. Ilya recommends experimenting with AI models — “There’s nothing to be scared about” — and discover how to develop clear, precise instructions and prompts to train those tools. “It’s a similar process as our parents, who repositioned their careers when the web emerged,” he says. “Learn how agentic AI works… What are the advantages and disadvantages of each tool?” What about AI’s role for the insurance product itself? Buckle your seat belts, Ilya says. He envisions a world where “any subject matter expert” can play in the space without even having to understand insurance. AI models can learn historical loss data, identify and price risks, develop the product itself without human interference, file with state regulators, and create safety programs so that risks become less expensive. “AI evens the playing field for anyone who’s in the market to start playing fairly,” he says.

Meet Spencer Mahoney, chief growth officer for CCIG, a Denver-based independent broker with 100 employees generating $30 million in revenue. The firm competes with the big boys in the commercial middle market for p/c and benefits, to include captive strategies. Spencer unpacks what it’s been like for he and his brother to work for dad, who founded the firm 40 years ago. First, they weren’t handed the business. Dad told the boys, “Go get your teeth kicked in somewhere else first,” Spencer relates. Working for a carrier, broker and wholesaler prepared them for a sales career at CCIG. Today, the firm is seeking organic growth as well as strategic acquisitions. “If we are not growing and adding producers, then we are falling behind,” Spencer says. At the same time, bolstering client service is key too. “You need a bench of unvalidated producers you can coach up, but you can’t grow too fast without expert service.” The key to insurance business success, he says, is remaining curious and being a good listener.
