# Marcus Delgado, Agency Principal at Delgado Insurance Group — read of insurance-renewal-voice-campaign, June 15 2026

> 14 years in P&C, running a six-agent independent shop in San Antonio. We're on Applied Epic. I coach my daughter's U10 soccer on Saturdays which means I'm always trying to claw back weekday afternoons.

## How I got here

Lost a 9-year client to Progressive last month. She said she never heard from us before renewal. I know that's on us. I Googled "automate renewal calls insurance agency" at about 10pm and this came up on the second page, below some EZLynx partnership thing. No LinkedIn ad, no referral. Just me being frustrated.

## What I clicked first

"Never Miss a Policy Renewal Call" landed. That's my pain exactly. Then "60-90 days before renewal. Catches customers before rate shopping begins." That's not a generic claim, that's a real window I know matters. I kept reading because of that specificity.

## Where I paused

The honest disclosure box at the bottom. Buried after the stats, it says: "we don't have live customers on this idea yet." I had to read that twice. The whole top of the page gives me conversion rates, revenue retained, hours saved, and then the fine print says the data isn't from real deployments. That's a strange architecture for a page. I actually respect the disclosure. I've never seen a product page just say that out loud. But it broke something in my trust I can't easily put back together.

## What I distrusted

The stats. "37% of calls convert to scheduled renewal meetings." "2.8x higher close rate than agents with no outreach." "$22k average revenue retained per agent per year." These are the kind of numbers that, on any other page, I'd assume were cherry-picked case studies. Here, they're apparently Fermi estimates on an idea nobody has shipped yet. Calling them "results" in a section header is not accurate. That section should be called "Projections" or "Model."

The Fish.audio mention is a name drop that means nothing to me. "Natural conversation" is something every voice AI company says. I've heard demos that said that and then had a robot mispronounce my name and read a script at me.

Also: "Adopt this idea." That reframe stopped me cold. I came here looking for a subscription tool to use. What's being sold here is closer to a business plan. The $5 dossier, the $99 code starter, the "operator partnership." I'm an insurance agent, not a startup founder. I don't want to "adopt" anything. I want to upload my renewal list and see if the phone calls work.

## What would convince me

A real recording. Not a polished demo with an actor. One actual call where the AI handles an objection, something like a client saying "I'm already talking to State Farm" and hearing how the bot responds. That tells me more than 37% conversion numbers from a Fermi model.

Also: one agent testimonial with a name, an agency, and a state. Even one. "Jake at Malone Insurance in Ohio ran it on 80 renewals and booked 14 meetings." That's convincing. The current stats with the no-live-customers disclosure beneath them cancel each other out.

## What I'd ask in an email reply

1. The page says TCPA-compliant and "business hours only" but what happens when a client calls back on a number they don't recognize? Is there a live transfer option or does it just go to voicemail?

2. You say "real-time sync with your CRM" but Applied Epic's API situation is a mess. Have you actually connected this to Epic or is "CRM integration" meaning something like a CSV export?

3. The $5 dossier and the $99 build kit tell me I'm not buying a running product. So what does the free trial actually activate? Is there working software I can point at 100 clients, or am I getting a strategy doc?

## Verdict: on-the-fence

The honest disclosure section is the most unusual thing on the page and genuinely earns a second look. But the product is doing two different things at once: selling a working tool and selling an idea to build, and I can't tell which one I'd actually be signing up for. If someone emailed me and answered question 3 in one clear sentence, I'd probably keep the conversation going.
