Source them from carrier data, view them on one calendar across all lines, and attach a 90/60/30/7-day reminder ladder that creates tasks and starts text and email outreach automatically. ## Key data points - Renewal misses concentrate in policies whose dates were entered manually rather than imported from carrier data. # How to Track Policy Renewals Automatically The renewal you miss is almost never the one on your calendar. It is the one that never made it onto the calendar. ## Source dates, do not type them Carrier-connected policy records arrive with effective dates, terms, and renewal dates already populated. That removes the single largest failure point in renewal tracking. ## Use a ladder, not an alarm - **90 days** — pull the policy for review, re-shop if the rate moved. - **60 days** — send the comparison and request a review appointment. - **30 days** — book and hold the review. - **7 days** — direct call and text for anything unresolved. ## Batch by window, not by date Medicare and ACA renewals cluster into enrollment windows. Group them by month and carrier and work them as campaigns instead of individual dates. ## Make reminders do work A notification you dismiss is not a system. Each milestone should create a task, start the text and email sequence, and place the client on a call list.
