Excel vs insurance CRM — 7 signs it is time to switch

Excel is where most Indian insurance agents start. But at a certain point, spreadsheets start costing you renewals. Here are 7 concrete signs that it is time to switch to an insurance CRM.

7 signs you need an insurance CRM

1. 1You have missed a renewal — a client lapsed because you did not see the due date
2. 2Your spreadsheet has 100+ rows — scrolling through 500 rows to find one client wastes 10 minutes every time
3. 3You are copy-pasting WhatsApp messages — a CRM opens WhatsApp with the message pre-filled
4. 4You do not know your persistency ratio — a CRM shows it automatically
5. 5Your phone is your only access — Excel on mobile is painful; a PWA works like an app
6. 6Documents are scattered across WhatsApp — a CRM stores every PDF in the client profile
7. 7You want to add a team member — sharing a spreadsheet with 5 agents is a nightmare
