Better CRM with 'Better Agency'
It has all the feature and tools that I need to manage our CRM needs and they do it in smoother way. I really please with the experience.
PROSThis program was simple to implement in our organization and was very user-friendly. The crew had an elementary time adapting to it, and the benefits were seen right away. It has rapidly evolved into one of the most valuable resources available to our organization. From where we were, we can now improve the experience that we provide for our customers by light-years. This is genuinely special software, and the training for the team is practically nonexistent since it is so intuitively designed.
CONSWhen they first began providing it, I wasted no time signing up for it. There were just a few instances of growing pains, which is anticipated from a firm that is expanding as rapidly as they are. However, I also view this as a plus because they are fast to respond to feedback and improve the features based on people's actual experiences.

Game Changer!
It has allowed my agency to be more efficient in our daily processes for sales and service, which made it possible to scale back on the number of systems we our using. Our team is much more productive and happier since Better Agency has simplified a lot of workflows.
PROSBetter Agency has allowed my insurance agency to provide a better experience for new and existing clients. This has lead to an increase in new businesses sales and retention, which means more revenue.
CONSLike any new company there are things that need to be worked through as the user base grows, but they are open to any and all feedback.
Reason for choosing Better Agency
Too complicated of a process to get set up and very expensive.
Reasons for switching to Better Agency
Better Agency was simple to use and set up, everything is already in to use. Other systems are complicated and require hiring a vendor to set everything up which could costs thousands of dollars before the product is even used.

Better Agency makes you better.
Overall, it has been positive. there has been some ups and downs like with all new tech but overall, the usability of BA has been great.
PROSEase of use is the best part of Better Agency. The way we can share and reassign service and claim requests makes us more efficient. The sales Pipeline keeps producers up to date on their prospects. The renewal pipeline is a game changer for retention.
CONSWe started early with Better Agency the onboarding was an issue. I believe this has gotten much betteer.
Reason for choosing Better Agency
Price and functionality for what we were looking for. We have multiple offices and we wanted to be able to reassign service and have a functioning renewal process.
Reasons for switching to Better Agency
Agency rev did not work well with our AMS.

A "solution" filled with empty and broken promises
My overall experience with Better Agency was extraordinarily sub-par. First and foremost, the customer service or, should I say, the lack there of, is terrible. Better Agency does business by driving sales and sales only. The person who sold me the product handed me off to the “on-boarding team” in which case they trained me on their systems. Once you complete your training, you’re on your own with the exception of a chat that’s located on the bottom right of the screen at all times. If you want to speak to someone, you have to, instead, set up a meeting in zoom 1-2 days in advanced to get your problem solved. When, and if, something goes wrong, you’ll have ZERO support because the people at this company DO NOT answer the phone. And the chat, you can say, does not work because whoever is on the other end of that chat has absolutely no knowledge of simple things. Long story short, I wanted to see if they had 2 factor authentication for logging in to the platform and I asked the chat service. When advised what I wanted, the person asked me to take a screen shot of what I meant in which I simply informed the person to google 2 factor authentication. I was appalled that the person did not know what this was in 2022 as society has been using this for at least 10 years on almost any website you’re required to log into. I ended the chat out of frustration and later got a transcript of the person advising me to search for a 3rd party for 2 factor login. You'll regret purchasing.
PROSMy experience with Better Agency was mostly negative. However, this was not necessarily because of how the software performed but rather the lack of sufficient customer service and, further, their lack of knowledge of their own product. Focusing on the software itself, it seemed to work pretty well. I thought the contact lists and individual profiles showed all the information you needed including policy numbers, types, vehicles(if applicable), and more. It made it very easy to look at any given client. The best thing about the software was probably their "pipeline". They had multiple boxes for organization for many stages during a sale, cross selling existing customers, renewals, customer service , and more. Their email campaigns also looked very good as you could customize so many different parameters for prospects and existing customers. You could even program it to send customers birthday cards automatically. Unfortunately, I never had success with it as every single email I sent would go to spam when sent through their system. More on that below.
CONSI did very extensive research on the right AMS to fit my company and eventually purchased Better Agency. I had high hopes as everything they showed me looked really great. The worst part about this company is the extreme lack of customer service as well as knowledge of their own products. Further, as my title states, it was "a solution with empty and broken promises". When I made the purchase, I made it contingent upon gaining access to the commissions beta which I was shown during my sales call. The person I spoke with advised me that I could gain access to the beta upon purchase. I didn't need it to do anything fancy; simply download the premiums from IVANS and calculate the commission for my agents. Yes, I understand it was beta but, even after my purchase, I was never given access to such beta to even test it out. About the emails, the staff does not have very extensive knowledge about their own product. I would describe them as understanding everything on the surface but little to nothing about the back-end. One example was how the email campaigns work. The way their system is designed, it connects to your email through, what I think, is an API. They had no idea how it connected. In my case, I use Gsuite for my email and eventually connected it. Before I even purchased, I asked how the system/server sent out emails so I could understand how it worked and plan accordingly. They could not answer this and never did. Quickly, I found out all my emails went to spam.

A must have for the modern insurance agency
I recomend this to any agency owner that is serious about taking there agency to the next level. The current features are second to none. Our agency has had a wonderful experience implementing into our processes for both sales and service. It has allowed us to really build out a scaleable process to grow with.
PROSThis product was easy to use and integrate into our agency. The results were immediate, and the team took to it very quickly. It has become one of the most important tools in our agency. We can enrich our client's experience light-years from where we were.
CONSI jumped on it when they first started offering it. There was minimal growing pains, but that would be expected from a company growing as they are. But I also see it as a positive as they are quick to respond and enhance the features based of real user experiences.
Reasons for switching to Better Agency
They were difficult to work with and I found the software hard to implement.

If you aren’t on Better Agency you have left $1000s on the table
I am on Day 6 of my free trial period with Better Agency. We have closed a 70k commercial risk and a 12000 life policy on top of numerous personal lines policies due to its cross sell campaigns. You can do the quick math to tell yourself if that was worth the monthly subscription but for me if you aren’t using this for cross sells and follow ups your team is leaving thousands on the table and it’s proven because I left thousands on the table too. This is truly impressive software and there is almost 0 learning curve for the team because it’s so user friendly
PROSEase of use Quickly implemented Open API for future integrations Customer support team is on top of everything The best thing since sliced bread
CONSSome of the functionality has bugs from time to time Love to have it download carrier downloads to be more of a complete AMS

BA Has Literally Leveled Up My Agency!
Phenomenal from start to finish. Great service and help, constant Zoom/Facebook lives for onboarding and getting help and the facebook group has been a great resource for answering questions as well.
PROSThe ease to jump right in that everything was done for me and set up! Only minor tweaks were needed. No need to invent the wheel!
CONSThere really isn't anything I dislike, I think there are just too many features that I haven't even started utilized some of them.

Company uses deceptive practices with their free trial
Free Trial cancellation process is a scam. Do not sign up, they will charge you regardless.
CONSDo not sign up for this companies free trial. They do not simply require a written cancellation request as they state when you sign up. I provided them with a written request and they still proceeded to charge us a $399 fee. I escalated the issue with their customer service department and they simply stated there was nothing they could do. I can only imagine what kind of service clients would receive in the future with a company that is not willing to work with you from the beginning. They stated that they had sent me an email after my initial cancel request with a link to a form that needed to be filled out, the thing is that that email ended up in our SPAM folder and was never seen. They simply did not want to work with us in a fair manner. I would never recommend this company to anyone that is looking for a customer service oriented company. They are only ales and money oriented.

Best Insurance CRM
It's been great to see this software develop so fast and help so many agencies in such a short period of time. If your'e an insurance agency who needs better automation, definitely do a demo and give it a try.
PROSEase of use, functionality and time savings are huge reasons why this is one of, if not the best CRM system for insurance agencies on the market!
CONSAt this time, there are no cons related to Better Agency! It's that good!
