## FAQ

### What's the biggest barrier to scaling an insurance agency?

Agent retention. Growing from 10 to 50 agents is impossible when you lose 30–40% each year. Technology that makes agents productive from day one is the #1 retention lever.

### When should an agency invest in technology?

From day one. The cost of not having a purpose-built CRM compounds: manual commission tracking, lost leads from slow follow-up, and agent attrition from poor tooling.

### Can a solo agent use the same platform as a 200-agent IMO?

Yes. The best insurance CRMs scale from solo agent to large IMO without migration. Multi-tenant architecture means the same platform serves one agent or one thousand.
