<h2>Why Close Rate Lifts 20–40%</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Right product first time</strong> — AI ranks by fit, not just price</li>
<li><strong>Faster response</strong> — quote delivered while prospect is still hot</li>
<li><strong>More carriers surfaced</strong> — agents present 3–5x more options</li>
<li><strong>Fewer missed underwriting fits</strong> — AI catches health-condition-to-carrier alignment</li>
</ul>

<h2>Time-to-Quote Benchmarks</h2>
<p>Manual multi-carrier quote: 20–60 minutes. AI quote: 30–60 seconds. That's a 20–60x productivity multiplier on the single highest-frequency task in an insurance agent's day.</p>
