How Agentforce Can Streamline Insurance Sales and Support

The insurance industry is undergoing a seismic shift. Today’s policyholders expect fast, digital-first experiences—but many insurers are held back by legacy systems, siloed data, and manual workflows.

A recent report reveals that 74% of insurance carriers still rely on outdated technologies for core functions, including underwriting, pricing, and policy servicing. Even more concerning, over 70% of IT budgets are allocated solely to maintaining these systems. At the same time, 80% of consumers say that a company’s experience is just as important as its products or services.

From quoting and underwriting to claims processing and customer service, the pressure is mounting to deliver faster, smarter, and more personalized interactions across the entire lifecycle.

That’s where Agentforce, Salesforce’s next-generation AI engine, makes a difference. Powered by Einstein GPT for contextual communication, Flow Orchestration for multi-step process automation, and OmniStudio for guided workflows, it brings intelligent automation and real-time integration across systems and channels.

Whether you’re issuing a new policy, managing underwriting, or resolving a complex claim, Agentforce empowers insurers to boost speed, accuracy, compliance, and satisfaction at scale. In this blog, we will explore how Agentforce is reshaping insurance sales and support by driving operational efficiency and enhancing agent productivity. Let’s dive in.

Key Challenges in Insurance Sales and Support

Insurance providers today face mounting pressure to deliver faster, more personalized service while navigating outdated systems and regulatory complexity. From sales to claims, the journey is often slowed by manual processes, data silos, and high service volumes.

Long Sales Cycles Due to Manual Quoting and Eligibility Checks

Traditional insurance sales processes often involve manual data collection, offline quoting tools, and eligibility validations that slow down deal closures. Agents may spend hours gathering information and switching between systems, leading to delays in responding to prospects. This lag not only reduces conversion rates but also frustrates digitally savvy customers who expect instant results.

Fragmented Customer Data Across Channels

Whether it’s a call with an agent, an inquiry on the mobile app, or a live chat conversation, customer data is often scattered across siloed systems. This fragmentation prevents agents from having a unified view of the policyholder, resulting in repetitive questions, disconnected experiences, and inconsistent service. It also limits an insurer’s ability to personalize offerings or proactively engage.

High Volume of Repetitive Service Queries

From “What’s the status of my claim?” to “Can I get a copy of my policy?”, support teams are flooded with routine inquiries that could be resolved through automation. These repetitive tasks eat into agent bandwidth, delay response times, and escalate operational costs. Without an intelligent system in place, delivering timely, scalable support becomes a challenge.

Compliance Pressure and Complex Documentation

Insurance is a highly regulated industry. Whether it’s verifying customer identities (KYC), processing underwriting documents, or maintaining audit trails, compliance requires precision and consistency. But with manual handling and disparate systems, errors and delays are common, putting insurers at risk of non-compliance, penalties, and reputational damage.

What is Agentforce and Why Does it Matter for Insurance

Agentforce is Salesforce’s AI-powered, cross-cloud assistant designed to transform how enterprises handle complex workflows. Built specifically for high-stakes industries like insurance, it brings automation that’s not only fast but contextually intelligent.

Unlike generic bots, Agentforce understands insurance-specific processes like quoting, underwriting, and claims. It uses real-time data and customer history to drive smarter decisions, automate repetitive tasks, and deliver proactive service.

Its native integration with Salesforce Clouds—Sales, Service, Experience, and even Financial Services Cloud—ensures insurers get a 360° view of every policyholder and interaction. For insurers looking to streamline operations and exceed customer expectations, Agentforce offers a future-ready solution.

How Agentforce Enhances Insurance Sales

In a competitive insurance landscape, speed and personalization are key to winning and retaining customers. Agentforce empowers insurers with intelligent tools that simplify sales processes, enhance agent productivity, and improve conversion rates at every stage.

• Faster, Automated Quote Generation

Agentforce accelerates quote creation by auto-populating forms with verified customer data pulled from CRM and external systems. It intelligently evaluates eligibility based on underwriting rules and product criteria, then generates personalized policy quotes within minutes. This reduces the back-and-forth between agents and customers and shortens the sales cycle significantly.

• Smart Lead Prioritization and Assignment

Instead of manually filtering through dozens of leads, Agentforce analyzes behavioral data, past interactions, and product interest to score each lead by conversion potential. It then routes high-priority leads to the most suitable agents, such as matching a customer interested in travel insurance with an agent experienced in that domain, improving closure rates, and ensuring timely follow-ups.

• Tailored Policy Recommendations Based on Customer Profiles

Agentforce leverages AI to suggest insurance products that best match a customer’s life stage, geography, risk appetite, and preferences. For example, a small business owner might receive bundled coverage options combining business liability and health insurance, while a new parent may be offered family life insurance with child protection riders.

• Streamlined Document Collection and Validation

Manual document gathering is a common delay in insurance onboarding. Agentforce guides customers through digital document uploads, uses OCR to extract key data (such as income, address, or ID verification), and flags incomplete submissions. This reduces administrative effort and speeds up policy issuance.

• Automated Follow-ups and Renewal Reminders

Agentforce continuously tracks policy status and renewal cycles. It automatically sends personalized reminders when a policy is about to expire and even pre-fills renewal forms or offers upgraded plans based on usage history and customer needs, helping insurers retain clients without manual outreach.

• Upsell and Cross-sell Intelligence

By analyzing claim history, lifestyle changes, and customer queries, Agentforce identifies cross-sell and upsell opportunities. For instance, if a customer recently filed a travel claim, the system might recommend adding global medical coverage or personal accident insurance, helping agents boost revenue while adding real value to the customer.

• Real-Time Sales Coaching and Script Suggestions

During live calls or chats, Agentforce can provide in-the-moment support by suggesting next-best actions, compliance checklists, and policy benefits tailored to the conversation. This helps new agents ramp up faster and ensures consistent, compliant messaging across the sales team.

How Agentforce Transforms Customer Support

Agentforce is redefining customer support in insurance by combining AI-driven automation with personalized, real-time assistance. It empowers insurers to deliver faster resolutions, consistent experiences, and always-on service across every channel.

• AI-Powered Claims Assistance
  Customers receive real-time updates on claim status, guidance on submitting required documents, and progress notifications through chat, web, or mobile apps. This reduces dependency on call centers and ensures a faster, more transparent claims experience.
• Document Summarization for Agents
  Agentforce can quickly summarize lengthy documents like medical records or accident reports, helping claims adjusters and underwriters make faster, more accurate decisions without manually scanning every detail.
• Multi-Channel, 24×7 Support
  Support is available across chat, voice, mobile, and web interfaces, giving policyholders instant access to assistance at any time. Routine inquiries such as policy details or claim tracking are handled instantly by AI, freeing up human agents for more complex issues.
• Automated KYC and Document Verification
  Agentforce streamlines onboarding by automating Know Your Customer (KYC) checks. It extracts key data from uploaded documents, verifies identity in real-time, and flags any inconsistencies for review, ensuring compliance without slowing down the process.
• Proactive Customer Engagement
  Rather than waiting for customers to reach out, Agentforce can send personalized reminders for renewals, notify users about missing documents, and offer timely updates on claims. This proactive communication builds trust and keeps policyholders engaged throughout the lifecycle.
