Transforming Insurance Distribution: Why Insurance & MGA Executives Should Choose Salesforce for Insurance

At PS Advisory, we understand that in today’s rapidly changing insurance landscape, staying ahead means reimagining how you distribute products, whether through traditional channels or innovative digital solutions. With the rise of APIs, digital marketplaces, and embedded insurance, North American carriers and MGAs are benefiting from faster quotes, reduced costs, and enhanced customer experiences. To harness these opportunities, executives are turning to platforms that seamlessly integrate both legacy systems and modern digital solutions. Join us as we look at Salesforce for Insurance, a cloud-based platform designed to power your entire distribution strategy.

The Digital Imperative in Insurance Distribution

Recent trends show us that traditional distribution methods, while still valuable, are no longer enough. APIs now serve as the backbone of a modern distribution ecosystem, enabling real-time data exchange between carriers, MGAs, brokers, and digital marketplaces. This drastically reduces manual intervention and accelerates quote-to-bind processes. In markets where carriers are seeing double-digit growth in API-enabled products and embedded insurance, the need for a scalable, integrated platform has never been more urgent.

Salesforce for Insurance addresses these challenges by offering:

  • Seamless API Integrations: Easily connect with third-party InsurTech platforms, partner networks, and digital marketplaces, streamlining underwriting, quoting, and policy issuance.
  • Automated Workflows: Reduce operational inefficiencies and free your team to focus on growth by automating routine tasks like data entry and compliance checks.
  • Actionable Analytics: Gain insights into channel performance and customer behavior to optimize your product offerings and drive premium growth.

Bridging Traditional and Digital Channels

Insurance and MGA executives have historically relied on robust broker networks and established agent relationships. However, we are seeing with the advent of digital distribution, the market is shifting. Digital online marketplaces and embedded insurance models offer unprecedented access to new customer segments, often with higher conversion rates. For example, API-driven solutions have drastically cut processing times in areas like small business insurance and cyber coverage. 

Salesforce for Insurance bridges these two worlds by:

  • Enhancing Broker Relationships: Integrating with legacy systems, providing brokers real-time access to quotes and policy details, improving efficiency and customer engagement.
  • Leveraging Embedded Insurance: Seamlessly embedding insurance products into non-insurance platforms like e-commerce sites or fintech apps, capturing premium growth from customers who may not have actively sought coverage.
  • Scaling with Confidence: Whether processing hundreds or millions of policies, Salesforce’s cloud infrastructure scales to meet growing business demands.

Real-World Success: The Salesforce Advantage

Consider how industry leaders are leveraging Salesforce for Insurance:

  • Cowbell Cyber, a pioneering cyber insurance MGA, leveraged API integrations to partner with digital marketplaces, enabling brokers to obtain instant quotes and bind policies in minutes. This efficiency not only accelerated their growth but also boosted their carrier partner’s market share.
  • Ladder Life, a digitally native life insurance provider, has seen remarkable growth by embedding its offerings directly into partner websites and apps. The integration capabilities of platforms like Salesforce for Insurance ensure that these journeys are both seamless and scalable.
  • Counterpart, an MGA focused on management liability, built an API-driven platform that allowed brokers to get real-time quotes, driving higher conversion rates and enabling their carrier partners to profitably expand in niche markets.

 

These success stories underscore that technology isn’t just an enabler, it’s a competitive differentiator. By choosing Salesforce for Insurance, your organization gains the tools needed to thrive in a digital-first world.
