We are not asking to listen to protected conversations.
Client confidentiality is the first thing you thought about, and you are right to. What we work with are the lines you yourself call unprotected: first enquiries before a policy exists, service and administrative calls.
Tuesday, and the season is already moving
Twenty-five advisors took four hundred first enquiries last week. Nobody listened to more than a handful, because a first enquiry lasts nine minutes and there are four hundred of them. The ones that went nowhere went nowhere quietly.
A first enquiry happens once per client, and it is the only moment where the decision is still open.
What changes
Every first enquiry, not a sample
One advisor handles hundreds a quarter. You see all of them the same way, not the five somebody had time for.
The same standard across the network
Twenty-five advisors, twenty-five versions of the first call. One standard, and a weekly plan per person to reach it.
Training that costs no real enquiries
New advisors rehearse the hard objection on an AI customer before they take a live one.

Open any score into the sentence it came from
An advisor who disagrees with an assessment can play the moment. Every point opens into what was said, with the minute it was said at, so a review meeting stops being an argument about impressions and becomes a conversation about a recording you both heard.What the advisor said, what the client answered, and the minute of the enquiry it happened at.Call card

Why this score
Every example was tied to what this buyer had already said: the team size, the tool they are moving off, the deadline they named. Nothing was read off a list.
Let advisors dispute a score. A person decides
Self-employed advisors accept a standard when they can argue with it. An advisor challenges any assessment with their reasoning attached, the appeal goes to a human, and the outcome is visible to the whole network. A score nobody can contest is a score nobody applies.An advisor disputes an assessment. A branch manager rules, and the whole network sees the outcome.Appeals this month

Built for how an advisory network actually runs
- First appointment
- The one conversation where the decision is still open. Every one of them is read, not the handful somebody had time for.
- Branch structure
- Seventeen sales departments with seventeen managers stay seventeen. Each manager sees their own people; you see the standard across all of them.
- Self-employed advisors
- People who own their book accept a standard they can dispute. Every assessment is appealable, and a person rules on it.
- Unprotected lines only
- Where the line runs is drawn by your compliance team, written down once, and applied to every recording after that.
- Advisors sell in their language
- An advisor works in German or Portuguese, leadership reads the same review in English. One standard, one screen.

FAQ
What mistakes do insurance advisors make on first calls?
The most common mistake Spellit sees on insurance first calls is an advisor ending the inquiry without booking the next step. The client says something like "sounds reasonable, I'll think it over and get back to you," the advisor agrees, and a person who was ready to decide goes quiet. Another frequent one is skipping a step of the needs analysis, so the conversation never gets to what the client came for, whether that is retirement, family security, a property or the children. Across a network there is a third problem: every advisor runs the first appointment their own way, so quality depends on who picked up. Most agencies never see any of this. A first inquiry happens once per client, it is the only moment when the decision is still open, and usually nobody reviews it.
How does Spellit catch those mistakes on insurance calls?
Spellit reads every first inquiry in scope against your agency's own advice standard and ranks each skipped step by what it costs across the whole network. The step missed most often this week arrives with the names of the advisors who missed it and the inquiries behind each name. Any score opens into the sentence it came from, with the minute it was said, so a review with a branch manager is a conversation about a recording both people heard. Each advisor then gets a short weekly plan built from their own calls, with ready phrasing to use next time. New advisors can rehearse the hard objection against an AI customer in Spellit Academy before they take a live inquiry. Nobody has to pick which five calls to listen to, because all of them are read the same way.
How many first inquiries does Spellit need before advisors get a plan?
Spellit's starting offer for insurance agencies is ten first inquiries: from those it shows what happens in them and where advisors lose people who were ready to buy. That is a demo, and it tells you quickly whether the approach fits your network. For the weekly plan itself, Spellit does not publish a fixed minimum number of calls per advisor. The plan grows from the inquiries each advisor actually handles, and the product says openly when data is thin. If a week has too few calls, the screen marks its conclusions as drafts, and any client-side figure resting on fewer than five calls carries a low-data label. A small branch still gets a plan, and its manager knows how much weight to put on it.
How do we see whether coaching is working for our insurance advisors?
With Spellit, the effect on insurance calls shows up as a growing share of first inquiries that end with a booked next step. In the first week, every first inquiry from the past quarter is read, and you see which ones ended without a next step and what the advisor said instead. By the end of the first month each advisor has three things to fix, taken from their own calls, and the same points of your advice standard are checked again week after week. That tells you whether the step people used to skip is now being skipped less, and by whom. Spellit does not promise a revenue figure. Every number it shows is something you can open: the step, the advisor, the week, and the recording behind it.
Does Spellit need access to protected insurance conversations?
No, Spellit works only with the insurance calls your agency itself treats as unprotected. Typically that means first inquiries before a policy exists, plus service and administrative calls. Your compliance team draws the line once, writes it down, and the rule applies to every recording after that. What goes into the review is your decision, and client confidentiality stays where you put it. Inside Spellit, access is separated by organization, project and purchased product, and each organization's analytics live in their own database. Every assessment comes with the quote it was based on, so a compliance reviewer can check which sentence led to which conclusion. It helps to agree internally where the line runs before anyone shares a single recording, because that answer shapes everything else.
Can self-employed insurance advisors dispute a score?
Yes, any insurance advisor can dispute any assessment in Spellit, and a person makes the decision, not the AI. The advisor challenges the score and attaches their reasoning, and the appeal goes to a manager. Whoever rules has to write down why: the system will not accept a decision without a written justification. The outcome is visible across the network, so everyone can see how the standard is applied in practice. This matters most for advisors who own their book. People who are not employees in the usual sense accept a standard when they can argue with it, and a score nobody can contest is one nobody applies. The product also labels its recommendations as AI-generated supporting information, meant to help people decide rather than to decide for them.
