Client Overview

Guardian Insurance Partners is a family-owned independent insurance agency in Tampa, Florida, offering auto, home, life, and commercial insurance from 15+ carriers. With 4 agents and 2 CSRs, the agency was maxed out on capacity and turning away new business.

The Challenge: Call Volume Exceeding Capacity

Guardian Insurance was a victim of their own success—they had more leads than their team could handle.

  • Receiving 80-100 calls daily but only able to answer 60-70, missing 20-30% of potential clients
  • Quote requests taking 24-48 hours to process, by which time prospects had already purchased elsewhere
  • Policy renewal calls overwhelming staff during peak months (January, July)
  • After-hours and weekend calls going to voicemail, with only 15% leaving a message
  • CSRs spending 70% of time on routine calls (policy questions, payment issues) instead of sales support
  • Owner considering hiring 2-3 additional staff at $120K+ annual cost

The Solution: AI Handles Routine Calls and Quote Intake

PicoCrate AI voice agents handle quote intake, policy questions, and routine inquiries, freeing agents to focus on complex sales.

  • AI answers all calls 24/7, collecting quote request information (coverage needs, vehicles, property details)
  • Handles common policy questions (payment methods, coverage details, claims process) via knowledge base
  • Routes complex inquiries and sales opportunities to appropriate agents based on specialty
  • Schedules policy review appointments and renewal calls directly into agent calendars
  • Collects claim information and creates tickets in agency management system
  • Provides instant auto-quotes for simple policies using carrier API integrations

The Results: 40% Revenue Growth Without New Hires

Guardian Insurance scaled their operation dramatically while actually reducing labor costs.

We were about to hire 2-3 more people just to answer phones. PicoCrate gave us the capacity of 5 full-time employees for a fraction of the cost. Our agents now focus on closing deals instead of answering routine questions. Revenue is up 40% and we're still only 6 people.
