How do you think InsurTech companies will impact Independent Agents?

[NSRH]

The insurance industry is following the same trend that the mortgage industry has been taking. You can now get approved for a mortgage through Quicken without even speaking to a human.

We need to evolve as agents or we will simply be left in the dust.

Are their mortgage brokers that still meet with clients face to face... sure! They are also a broke and dying breed.

At state farm, when I get internet leads, they are almost always I complete or have incorrect information. The reality is the majority of consumers don't understand insurance at all. Technology will absolutely impact insurance in many ways, but I can't see a world without agents to explain coverage to others.
