When renewals rely on spreadsheets, scattered email chains, and the “tribal knowledge” of a few account managers, errors become invisible – until they suddenly show up.

And when those mistakes finally surface, they introduce massive, catastrophic risk to your top clients and your agency’s reputation.

My guest, Weston Lunsford, the CEO of PLANSIGHT, joins me to discuss how manual workflows are secretly sabotaging benefit brokerages. We break down how purpose-built AI is replacing the outdated spreadsheet model, allowing brokers to instantly extract complex data from carrier documents to create client-ready presentations. We discuss why your team must stop finding its identity in building spreadsheets, the power of real-time plan modeling in client meetings, and why adopting new technology must be treated as a definitive leadership decision, not a side project.

This is your roadmap to getting out of the clerical weeds and back into the strategic advisor seat.
