Generate first-draft quotes and proposals in minutes using AI — then just review and send.
The gap between a lead and a bound policy is almost always the quote-to-bind cycle — and the slowest part is pulling quotes from 3–5 carriers, comparing coverages, and building a client-facing proposal that actually explains the differences. Producers spend 45–90 minutes on a single P&C proposal, and half the time the prospect has already bound elsewhere. AI-assisted quote and proposal drafting pulls comparative rater output, maps coverages side-by-side, highlights meaningful differences (liability limits, deductibles, endorsements), and produces a one-page proposal the prospect actually reads. For commercial submissions, it drafts ACORD-adjacent summaries that capture risk narrative in the language underwriters expect — which speeds carrier response time on harder-to-place accounts.
A P&C independent in Charlotte reduces proposal turnaround from 2 hours to 20 minutes by auto-summarizing comparative rater output into a clean coverage comparison — bind rate on quotes up from 28% to 41%. A Medicare agency in San Antonio drafts plan comparisons with plan-specific formulary and network analysis per prospect's med list and doctors, cutting prep time from 45 minutes to 8. A commercial middle-market broker in Chicago auto-drafts submission narratives for hard-to-place risks (contractors, habitational, hospitality), improving quote-back rate from 3 carriers to 5.
Before drafting, collect structured input: client name, company, specific need, scope, timeline, and any special requirements. A short intake form works best.
Pass the intake details to GPT-4 with a prompt that includes your service scope, pricing tiers, and your firm's tone. The AI generates a structured first draft.
The team member reviews the draft, adjusts pricing, adds specific terms, and personalizes any details. This takes 10-15 minutes instead of 2-3 hours.
Paste the content into your proposal tool (PandaDoc, DocuSign, or a Word template) and send to the client via your normal process.
Use a proposal tool with tracking to see when the client opens the document. Trigger a follow-up reminder if they haven't responded in 48-72 hours.
