GetLYIT 2025: Top Takeaways

From ideas to action—what will your agency do next?

This year’s GetLYIT was packed with insights, examples, and real talk from agency leaders, tech experts, and solution providers. Over three days, we explored what it truly takes to lead change, utilize AI effectively, and drive meaningful growth through technology.

If you missed it (or want to revisit the highlights), here are the top takeaways and how to turn them into next steps.

Mindset + Culture + Tech = Real Efficiency

Day One’s sessions reminded us that efficiency is not just about using the latest tools. It is about aligning the right mindset and culture behind the tech.

What we heard:

• Culture first: Trust, transparency, and a growth mindset must come before rolling out technology.
• Consistency matters: SOPs and workflows should align with your tools, not the other way around.
• Empowered people = better outcomes: The right tech in the hands of trained, supported individuals drives results.

🎯 Catalyit tip: If you have not mapped your culture + tech + mindset alignment, pause the tool-buying spree and start there.

AI Isn’t Optional — It’s a Competitive Advantage

On Day Two, the focus shifted to AI. Not just what is possible, but also how agencies are already utilizing it to streamline operations, enhance service, and reclaim time.

What we heard:

• AI boosts productivity fast in content creation, client communication, policy review, and more.
• Marketing receives a boost from smarter prompts, more effective targeting, and faster delivery.
• But foundation matters: Clean data, secure systems, and integrated workflows are essential before scaling AI.

🎯 Catalyit tip: Choose one small AI use case to focus on this quarter. Maybe it is automating renewals or creating client videos. Pilot it, measure it, and build from there.

Ideas → Implementation → Measurable Results

Day Three challenged us to turn inspiration into execution and build momentum with a clear action plan.

What we heard:

• Integration is non-negotiable: Your AMS, CRM, VoIP, and quoting tools must work together.
• Train for the future: Hire and retain talent that can adapt and evolve with your tech stack.
• Set SMART goals: If it is not measurable, it cannot be managed. And if no one owns it, it will not move.

🎯 Catalyit tip: Assign one person in your agency to lead the follow-through from GetLYIT. Start small, measure progress, and celebrate the wins.

From Knowing to Doing

Across all three days, the message was clear and consistent. It is easy to consume information. The hard and valuable part is implementing it.

How to move forward:

• Review your agency’s alignment: people, process, and platforms.
• Commit to one quick-win pilot: AI, integration, workflow change, etc.
• Revisit your data, systems, and training plans.
• Hold monthly tech check-ins to track progress and adjust.

🎯 Catalyit tip: Knowledge does not move the needle. Action does. Choose one thing you learned and get it into motion this month.

Use the Resources — Don’t Let It End Here

The GetLYIT experience does not end when the sessions do. Catalyit has made session replays, recap blogs, and toolkits available to help you take the next step.

What to do now:

• Watch the replays and invite your team to join you.
• Share recap blogs in a quick team meeting to choose one priority initiative.
• Explore Catalyit’s resources from the AI Guide to Agency Tech Assessment to the Solution Provider Directory.
• Book 30 minutes this week to review what stood out and what to implement.

🎯 Catalyit tip: The best move is to use the tools already at your disposal. Rewatch a session, select one idea, and take action.

GetLYIT was the spark. Now it is time to build the fire.
