Vertafore AgencyZoom

AgencyZoom (acquired by the massive insurance tech titan Vertafore) is the highly aggressive, fiercely modern disruptor targeting the front-office sales side of an Insurance Brokerage. While massive backend systems like Applied Epic or Vertafore's own AMS360 are famously clunky and difficult to use for sales, AgencyZoom feels like a sleek, modern startup CRM. Its absolute obsession is "Sales Velocity and Automation." When an insurance lead hits the system, AgencyZoom triggers a massive, highly aggressive automated workflow. It will automatically text the client, email them a quote, assign a task to the agent to call them, and then track exactly where that lead sits in a highly visual, drag-and-drop Kanban board (like Trello), ensuring no lead ever falls through the cracks. It is heavily favored by aggressive, growth-oriented brokerage owners because of its gamification features. It places a massive, real-time leaderboard on the office television screen. When an agent closes a massive commercial policy, AgencyZoom triggers an animation on the TV, publicly ranking the agents by revenue generated that month, creating an incredibly competitive, high-energy sales floor.
