Episode notes
We're coming to you LIVE from ITC 2025! In this episode of Risk Management: Brick by Brick , host Jason Reichl sits down with Jack Ramsey, VP of the Agent Channel at NEXT Insurance, to discuss the radical shift in how small business insurance is sold and serviced. With over 35 years of industry experience, Jack offers a unique perspective on why the "traditional" manual underwriting model is a death sentence for small commercial profitability. Discover how NEXT Insurance uses a digital-first mindset to turn a 5-day quoting cycle into a 5-minute win. Jack dives into the "secret sauce" of using social media scraping and rich data to understand risk in real-time - uncovering everything from hidden dance floors to happy hour specials that traditional questionnaires miss. Whether you are a national broker or a one-person retail shop, this conversation reveals how to remove administrative friction and get back to the "true people activities" that drive revenue.
