Catalyit's Advice

Rethink your assumptions about the benefits of a mobile app for your agency.

 

Only spend the time and money to get a mobile app if you and your staff are committed to selling your clients’ benefits.

 

Make sure their experience with your app is as frictionless as possible.

 

The new generation of mobile apps allows your clients to add their policy information more seamlessly now than ever before.

 

Test drive the mobile app experience before you select a solution provider.

Steve Anderson's Take

“Consider integrating a mobile app into your agency’s communication plan by following two steps. Firstly, check with your agency management system vendor to see if they offer a customer-facing mobile app. You should consider using a third-party vendor if they do not have this option. It is important to take a long-term view and not worry if there is slow adoption at first.”
