Insurance is a phone-first business, and it's also a business where a single agent or small agency is often fielding new-business calls, claims questions, and renewal check-ins all on the same line. When you're on one call, the next one goes to voicemail, and that caller, especially a new-business shopper comparing quotes, often just moves to the next agency on their list.

It's rarely the pitch that loses the sale. It's the call that never got answered because you were already helping someone else, out at a client meeting, or closed for the day.
