From Voicemail Void to Booking Machine
How a leading insurance MGA turned after-hour calls into high-intent appointments with Infer's AI voice agent
Executive Summary
This California-based insurance MGA dealing with home, auto and renters insurance is already a heavyweight—>$450 million written premium in 2024 and a managed-premium run-rate that is pacing past $580 million for 2025. Yet a steady flow of after-hours and overflow callers were slipping into voicemail, costing revenue and straining a lean sales team. Infer's AI voice agent "Alex" engaged 100% of those previously unanswered calls and converted 73.4% into booked appointments — potentially unlocking up to $125K in new written premium in just over a month, all without adding head-count. The same AI workflow is now rolling into business hours, positioning the MGA to protect its explosive 63% YoY premium growth while marching toward the $600 million milestone.

The Challenge
Voicemail dead-end after 5 p.m.
About 40% of after-hours callers landed in voicemail, and fewer than half left usable messages—bleeding revenue and creating next-day follow-ups and eating up valuable time of licensed producers.
Manual voicemail triage at dawn
Each morning the sales manager spent close to an hour listening to messages and forwarding the valid ones to licensed producers.
Calendar chaos
Even when licensed producers reached prospects, they still had to negotiate appointment times; early-morning slots often no-showed and double-bookings were common.
Data-entry drag
After successful callbacks, licensed producers still re-typed caller details into AgencyZoom, adding errors and slowing quotes.
The Infer Solution
Every after-hours caller who once hit voicemail now speaks with Infer's AI voice agent—engineered to sound and flow like a natural human conversation. In a single interaction, the bot qualifies the insurance need, locks a live calendar slot, and delivers a complete lead to the agency's AgencyZoom before staff even arrive.
After-hours hand-off
RingCentral's closed-hours IVR forwards every call directly to Infer's AI voice agent.
Qualification
Infer's AI voice agent asks a concise set of questions in human like natural conversation to pinpoint auto, home, renters, or bundle—so producers start with context, not guesswork. Disqualifying calls with callers whom the agency cannot underwrite.
Real-time booking
Once need is clear & relevant information is collected, it checks each producer's live Outlook calendar and books the next open slot, eliminating double-booking and no-shows (sending an immediate text to caller and also a reminder text before appointment).
Post-call data push
At call end, Infer extracts name, address, contact, and line-of-business etc. from the transcript and creates a lead card in AgencyZoom—zero re-keying.
Escalation safety net
If a caller later says "no one called me back," the system triggers an immediate escalation email to the sales manager, safeguarding CX and compliance.
Always-on oversight
Every interaction feeds a live dashboard (call mix, handle time, conversion, voice of customer insights) while guard-rails keep conversations by AI voice agent on-brand and audit-ready.
A smoother experience, end-to-end
No more voicemail beep—just a short, human-sounding conversation that locks their appointment before they hang up.
They clock in to a calendar already filled with qualified meetings and fewer follow-up chores.
They're routed to the service team, for better experience.

Why These Numbers Matter

2. Seamless fit
The workflow runs inside the agency's existing RingCentral → Infer → AgencyZoom + Microsoft stack — no rip-and-replace, no new logins.
3. CX & compliance safeguard
If a booked caller later says "no one called me back," the system triggers an escalation email to the sales manager, protecting customer experience and audit readiness.
Intent on these leads seems to be pretty high. When somebody schedules a callback with Infer's AI voice agent, the buyer intent is pretty high … The extracted information on the leads seems accurate, so it seems like the AI is capturing it correctly.
