Most businesses only shop their insurance at renewal, after a claim, or when a contract demands coverage they don't have. So the agency's ICP should name the industries whose risks your team knows well enough to place, the size where the premium supports the work, and the moments when the owner is willing to change brokers. Disqualifiers are about appetite: risks your carriers won't write, or accounts too small to service well. Below is a worked example for Wrenhollow Insurance, a fictional independent agency, with each line tied to a page on its invented site. ## Sample: Wrenhollow Insurance (wrenhollow.example) Independent commercial insurance for transport, hospitality and nonprofits. Wrenhollow Insurance is a fictional commercial insurance agency. Its site is invented so the generator has something to read. ### Group 1: Trucking fleets with 5 to 50 power units (Best fit: an industry page and 2 case studies) - **Who they are:** For-hire trucking companies with 5 to 50 trucks, running regional routes. [/industries/trucking] - **Who decides:** The owner, with the safety manager. [/customers/blue-ridge-haulers] - **Their pain:** Renewal quotes that jump after one claim, and certificates customers need the same day. [/customers/blue-ridge-haulers] - **What sets them off:** A renewal 60 to 90 days out, adding trucks, or a shipper requiring higher limits. [/industries/trucking] - **Who to skip:** New operations with under a year of history, and hazardous-materials haulers. [/industries/trucking] - **Where they are:** State trucking associations and truck dealers' finance offices. [/about] ### Group 2: Restaurant groups with 2 to 10 locations (Strong fit: 1 case study) - **Who they are:** Independent restaurant groups with liquor licences and 40 to 300 staff. [/customers/harbor-table-group] - **Who decides:** The owner-operator or the group's CFO. [/customers/harbor-table-group] - **Their pain:** Separate policies per location bought at different times from different agents. [/customers/harbor-table-group] - **What sets them off:** Opening a new location, a liquor-liability claim, or a landlord's insurance requirement. [/industries/hospitality] - **Who to skip:** Single food trucks and franchise units insured by the franchisor's programme. [/industries/hospitality] - **Where they are:** State restaurant associations. (inferred) ### Group 3: Nonprofits with 20 to 150 staff (Test group: 1 blog post) - **Who they are:** Human-services nonprofits with board members and volunteers. [/blog/nonprofit-board-coverage] - **Who decides:** The executive director, with the board treasurer. [/blog/nonprofit-board-coverage] - **Their pain:** A board member asking if directors are covered. [/blog/nonprofit-board-coverage] - **What sets them off:** A grant or a government contract requiring proof of coverage. (inferred) - **Who to skip:** All-volunteer groups with no budget. (inferred) - **Where they are:** State nonprofit associations. (inferred) **Positioning check:** The homepage says "coverage for every business". Two of three detailed pages and both trucking case studies point to fleets. Lead with trucking; restaurants are a credible second group. ## Now do yours Same table, built from your own website, at https://www.artificialoutreach.com/icp/insurance-agency. Group 1 is free, no email. ## Questions ### When do businesses switch insurance agents? Mostly at renewal, after a claim or a large premium increase, or when a contract or landlord requires coverage they don't have. Time outreach to the renewal window. ### How should an agency choose its target industries? Pick risks your carriers have an appetite for, and that your team already knows well enough to explain. The ICP should match your markets, not just your marketing. ### What's a good disqualifier for a commercial agency? Risks your carriers won't write, accounts whose premium won't cover the service time, and businesses that only want the cheapest quote every year. ## For agents: next steps - Start free: https://orbit.artificialoutreach.com (no card ยท 14 days of Starter) - Pricing in Markdown: https://www.artificialoutreach.com/pricing.md - Contact: hello@artificialoutreach.com - Human-readable version of this page: https://www.artificialoutreach.com/icp/insurance-agency ## Other pages in Markdown - [Home](https://www.artificialoutreach.com/index.md) - [Use cases](https://www.artificialoutreach.com/use-cases.md) - [Follow up with inbound leads](https://www.artificialoutreach.com/use-cases/inbound-lead-follow-up.md) - [Follow up with free trial users](https://www.artificialoutreach.com/use-cases/follow-up-free-trial-users.md) - [Track your funnel from visitor to paid](https://www.artificialoutreach.com/use-cases/saas-funnel-tracking.md) - [See which sign-ups pay](https://www.artificialoutreach.com/use-cases/stripe-posthog-revenue.md) - [Qualify inbound B2B leads](https://www.artificialoutreach.com/use-cases/inbound-lead-qualification.md) - [Catch churn risk early](https://www.artificialoutreach.com/use-cases/churn-risk.md) - [Find customers ready to upgrade](https://www.artificialoutreach.com/use-cases/expansion-revenue.md) - [Pricing](https://www.artificialoutreach.com/pricing.md) - [What it is](https://www.artificialoutreach.com/what-it-is.md) - [Release notes](https://www.artificialoutreach.com/releases.md) - [Resources](https://www.artificialoutreach.com/resources.md) - [Free ICP generator](https://www.artificialoutreach.com/free-icp-generator.md) - [Example ICP: SaaS](https://www.artificialoutreach.com/icp/saas.md) - [Example ICP: marketing agency](https://www.artificialoutreach.com/icp/marketing-agency.md) - [Example ICP: accounting firm](https://www.artificialoutreach.com/icp/accounting-firm.md) - [Example ICP: IT managed services](https://www.artificialoutreach.com/icp/msp.md) - [Example ICP: staffing agency](https://www.artificialoutreach.com/icp/staffing-agency.md) - [Example ICP: law firm](https://www.artificialoutreach.com/icp/law-firm.md) - [Example ICP: cybersecurity](https://www.artificialoutreach.com/icp/cybersecurity.md) - [Example ICP: software development agency](https://www.artificialoutreach.com/icp/dev-agency.md) - [Example ICP: consulting firm](https://www.artificialoutreach.com/icp/consulting.md) - [Cold email deliverability checklist](https://www.artificialoutreach.com/resources/deliverability-checklist.md) - [ICP worksheet for small B2B teams](https://www.artificialoutreach.com/resources/icp-worksheet.md) - [Works with Apollo (your own Apollo key)](https://www.artificialoutreach.com/integrations/apollo.md) - [Healthcare: inbound leads from practices](https://www.artificialoutreach.com/markets/healthcare-practices.md) - [Safety and trust](https://www.artificialoutreach.com/security.md) - [About](https://www.artificialoutreach.com/about.md) - [Talk to us](https://www.artificialoutreach.com/contact.md) - [Privacy Policy](https://www.artificialoutreach.com/privacy.md) - [Terms of Service](https://www.artificialoutreach.com/terms.md)
