Every insurance text you send should accomplish one of four things: confirm something, remind someone, deliver value, or request a specific action. Texts that do none of these get ignored or trigger opt-outs. These 25 templates are organized by use case, tested across thousands of insurance client interactions, and formatted for direct copy-paste into any CRM with SMS capabilities. ## Lead Follow-Up Templates ### Template 1: Speed-to-Lead (Within 5 Minutes) `Hi [First Name], this is [Agent Name] from [Agency].
