# Insurance Commission Reconciliation

If you're not reconciling your insurance commissions, you're leaving money on the table. Industry data shows discrepancies occur in 8–12% of all policy transactions.

## The Commission Reconciliation Problem

Errors happen at every stage: wrong commission percentages on renewals, missing payments, late payments, hierarchy errors crediting wrong agents, and chargeback mistakes on in-force policies.

**Manual reconciliation** takes 8–15 hours/month and catches only 40–60% of discrepancies. **Automated reconciliation** (unLocked CRM Commission+) takes under 30 minutes/month and catches 95%+.

## Real-World Impact

An agent with $180K annual commission income: $14,400–$21,600 in annual discrepancies. Manual catches $5,760–$12,960. Automated catches $13,680–$20,520. The difference: $7,560–$8,640 in additional annual income.

Commission+ connects to 332 carrier feeds, auto-reconciles every payment, flags discrepancies with documentation, and pre-populates dispute templates.
