How Themba, an insurance broker in Bloemfontein, cut quote response time from days to minutes
Cross-sell campaigns and MJ-drafted quote follow-ups doubled the broker's effective working hours during quote season.
Themba runs a short-term insurance brokerage in Bloemfontein. Quote season is brutal — every renewal letter from the underwriter triggers a wave of "what does this mean" WhatsApp messages from clients, and every one of them needs a same-day reply or the client starts shopping.
ClientPulse changed the choke point. MJ now answers incoming WhatsApp queries directly using Themba's uploaded knowledge base — policy types, common concerns, his own preferred phrasing. Routine "what does this mean" questions get answered in minutes; the conversations Themba personally needs to handle (anything sensitive, anything complex) are flagged as tasks for him. The three-day backlog is gone.
The Campaigns feature does the proactive side. Themba builds cross-sell campaigns — clients with car insurance only, segmented by region — with a WhatsApp message offering a household contents quote. Campaigns wait for his nod before kicking off, but once he approves, they run themselves and replies flow back through the same MJ-handled inbox.
“Quote season used to be the worst three months of my year. It's now the busiest, but it's manageable.”
