Hi {{first_name}},
Running a smaller insurance book means every renewal counts. When even a handful of policyholders lapse, the revenue hit is outsized compared to what larger carriers absorb. The agencies I work with in your segment have pushed renewal rates above 90% by rethinking how they time and personalize their outreach.
One independent agency owner I spoke with last quarter told me he was losing 15-20% of his auto book each year simply because renewals were handled with a generic letter 30 days out. After restructuring the process, that number dropped to under 8% within two quarters.
Would it make sense to compare notes on what is working for agencies similar to {{company_name}}? I can share the specific playbook in a 15-minute call this week. 8-12% reply rate

Personalization Tips
- Reference a specific line of business they specialize in from their website or LinkedIn profile
- Mention a recent community involvement or local award the agency has received
- Note any carrier appointments they advertise and tie it to retention challenges for that carrier
- If they have Google reviews, reference their reputation and how retention supports it
When to Use
When reaching out to owners of independent agencies or small insurance firms who likely feel the sting of each lost policyholder personally and make decisions quickly.
When NOT to Use
When the agency is a captive shop with little control over retention processes, or when the owner has recently been acquired by a larger brokerage.
