Key Quotes:

“What we have done is to try to simplify that day to day process for the producer and the CSR, by let's just say, setting up a sequence, right? Automation to be sent out from emails, from a text message, to a call, reminders, whatever that may be, we can then add that into a list and say a customized sequence for your agency.” - Matt LaRocca

“We can create different types of pipelines, we have pipelines that are already in place. But yeah, once you establish this, it's just more of a click and drag, and really, throughout each stage of our process, it's a very simple process to hear.” - Matt LaRocca

“With Agency Zoom we're adapting every two weeks, we have updates that are going on or system every single day.” - Matt LaRocca
