# Automated Renewal Campaigns: The CRM Setup That Saves Your Book

<p class="lead">The 60 days before a policy renewal are the most critical window in client retention. Agents who run automated renewal campaigns during this window retain 12–18% more clients than those who wait for clients to call.</p>

<div data-ai-block="definitive-answer"><h2>The Short Answer</h2><p>Build a <strong>4-touch automated renewal campaign</strong> triggered 60 days before each policy's renewal date. Include: <strong>Day 60: renewal preview email</strong>, <strong>Day 45: rate comparison + review scheduling SMS</strong>, <strong>Day 30: agent phone call task</strong>, and <strong>Day 14: urgency reminder</strong>. This sequence costs almost nothing to run (CRM automation) but prevents 30%+ of price-shopping lapses by demonstrating proactive service.</p></div>

<h2>The 60-Day Renewal Sequence</h2>

<h3>Day 60: Renewal Preview Email</h3>
<p>Subject: "Your [Policy Type] renewal is coming up — let's make sure you're getting the best rate"</p>
<p>Content: Notify the client their renewal is approaching, summarize current coverage, and offer to review alternatives.</p>

<h3>Day 45: Rate Comparison SMS + Scheduling</h3>
<p>"Hi [Name], your [policy] renews in 45 days. I've reviewed your options and may have a better rate. Want to schedule a quick call? [Booking link]"</p>

<h3>Day 30: Agent Phone Call (Task)</h3>
<p>CRM creates a task for the agent to call personally. Script: Review coverage, discuss any life changes, present alternatives if beneficial.</p>

<h3>Day 14: Urgency Reminder</h3>
<p>Email + SMS: "Your [policy] renews in 2 weeks. We've confirmed your coverage is competitive. No action needed unless you'd like to discuss changes."</p>

<h2>Setting Up in Your CRM</h2>
<ol>
<li>Ensure all policies have accurate renewal dates</li>
<li>Create a "Renewal Review" automation trigger: 60 days before renewal date</li>
<li>Build the 4-touch sequence with email, SMS, and task actions</li>
<li>Add conditional logic: if client responds at any step, skip to agent conversation</li>
<li>Track results: renewal rate by campaign vs. non-campaign clients</li>
</ol>

<p>Build this in <a href="/campaigns-automations">Campaigns & Automations</a> with <a href="/policies-policy-tracking">Policy Tracking</a> renewal date triggers.</p>

<h2>Advanced: Segmented Renewal Campaigns</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>High-value clients</strong> — Personal call from agent at Day 60 (not just email)</li>
<li><strong>At-risk clients</strong> — Additional touchpoints, rate re-shop, agent call at Day 45</li>
<li><strong>Multi-policy clients</strong> — Consolidated renewal review across all policies</li>
<li><strong>New clients (first renewal)</strong> — Extra education about renewal process</li>
</ul>

<h2>FAQs</h2>
<dl>
<dt>What if the renewal rate isn't competitive?</dt>
<dd>Re-shop the market using your <a href="/ai-quoting-suite">AI Quoting Suite</a>. If a better option exists, present it proactively — this builds trust and prevents the client from shopping independently.</dd>
<dt>Should I automate renewal outreach for every policy?</dt>
<dd>Yes — even a basic automated email is better than silence. Customize the intensity based on client value and risk level.</dd>
</dl>
