The smartest agencies aren’t just selling insurance—they’re reimagining how every back-office process works. In this conversation with Chris Paradiso, I explore how he’s using AI and automation to transform his agency’s operations while giving his team the tools to work faster, smarter, and with greater accuracy. Chris shares how platforms like the Intelligent Agent are helping streamline communication, improve accuracy, and free up licensed agents to focus on what they do best: building relationships and earning client trust. This isn’t about replacing people—it’s about empowering them with the right tools to thrive in today’s marketplace.

Highlights:

  • How AI-powered questionnaires can help generalist agents uncover the right details and reduce errors.
  • Why simplifying communication at an eighth-grade level builds stronger client trust.
  • Practical ways to use AI for policy comparisons, renewal reviews, and identifying missed coverage opportunities.
  • How a “closed” AI environment ensures accurate answers and protects sensitive client data.
  • The impact of removing workplace distractions like Slack and replacing them with smarter AI-driven support.
  • Why speed and clarity in communication directly improve closing ratios and client retention.
