NEXT Insurance, a technology-first small business insurer, announced the availability of Copilot, a tool designed to help agents increase revenue by serving small micro businesses with customized insurance policies.

NEXT’s Copilot empowers business owners to quote and bind online without underwriting delays, while providing agents with a streamlined process.

With Copilot, all agents, whether operating digitally or through a traditional sales approach, can generate a personalized quoting link through NEXT’s agent portal. Agents can then send the link directly to prospective clients after an initial phone call, or promote their link via email, social media, email signatures or their website.

Prospects can then click on the link and obtain a quote and purchase a policy 24/7, while agents continue to earn their standard commissions. Additionally, agents have the option to include a quote review before binding.

With Copilot, NEXT acts as the behind-the-scenes partner for agents, notifying them of any leads, quotes or purchases that come through their unique link in real-time and can be accessed at any time. Each link can also be tracked back to the individual agent, giving increased visibility into each policy sold.

Other recent agent-focused updates include customizable coverage, commercial umbrella/excess liability, and comparative rater integrations like Bold Penguin, Bolt and Ivans Download.
