Insurtech

Cold calling in insurtech

Insurers and brokers run on legacy systems and manual processes. A call that names a specific claims or underwriting bottleneck gets a rare hearing.

Why cold calling works here

Insurtech (underwriting, claims automation, distribution, pricing, embedded insurance) sells into insurers, brokers, and MGAs weighed down by legacy tech and manual workflows. Cold calling works because the pains are concrete and costly — slow claims handling that hurts retention, manual underwriting that limits capacity, poor data and pricing, clunky broker journeys. The buyer is a product, claims, underwriting, or ops leader. Lead with a specific process bottleneck and a measurable improvement, respect compliance, and target a pilot on one line or workflow.

Pains you can lever

  • Slow, manual claims handling driving customer churn
  • Underwriting bottlenecks limiting the volume they can quote
  • Legacy core systems that are costly and hard to change
  • Poor data and analytics leading to mispriced risk
  • Clunky broker or customer journeys losing business at quote

How to open the call

Name a process bottleneck: 'Where's the biggest manual drag in your operation right now — claims turnaround, underwriting capacity, or the broker quote journey? Those are where insurers lose retention and volume. I'd like to show a pilot on one line that measurably speeds it up.'

Objections you'll hear (and how to handle them)

We have core systems in place.
Legacy core is exactly the constraint I hear about — I don't rip it out, I sit on top and automate the manual layer around it. Where does your team still push paper or rekey data? That's usually where the quick win is.
Change in insurance is slow and regulated.
It is, and rightly so. That's why I propose a contained pilot on a single line or workflow, fully compliant, before anything scales. You prove the outcome and the compliance on low risk first.
Send me information.
I'll send a relevant case from an insurer or broker like you, not a generic deck. Quick question: is your priority claims speed, underwriting capacity, or distribution — so I send the right proof?
