The Real Cost of Manual Rating and Quoting in 2025
Every minute your team spends manually quoting is a minute lost to your competition. Whether you’re an MGA, wholesaler, or carrier, manual quoting isn’t just inefficient-it’s expensive. Here’s why sticking with spreadsheets, carrier portals, and email-based rating is hurting your business more than you think.
1. Manual Rating Is a Time Sink
| Task | Time Spent Manually | Time with RQB + Selectsys |
| Data entry into carrier portal | 8-15 minutes | 0-1 minute (automated push) |
| Validating insurance application forms+ SOVs | 5-10 minutes | Auto-read and flagged by AI |
| Multi-carrier comparisons | 20+ minutes | 2-3 minutes via RQB logic |
Now multiply that by 50 submissions a day.
2. You’re Burning Payroll and Opportunity
Quoting teams often waste 3-4 hours per day on repetition, not risk analysis.
And while your team is stuck inputting data, your competition is:
- Quoting faster
- Responding first
- Binding the deal
3. Manual Quoting = Manual Mistakes
Even the best team fat-fingers a ZIP code or miskeys a class code.
That one small error could:
- Tank your quote accuracy
- Cause rework
- Trigger compliance red flags
With RQB + Selectsys, rating is accurate, consistent, and auditable.
4. Carrier Appetite Is Always Changing. Are You?
Manual quoting often misses:
- Carrier eligibility shifts
- Appetite filter changes
- API updates
RQB updates daily. You quote with real-time data, not outdated PDFs or tribal knowledge.
Real-World Impact: Before vs After RQB + Selectsys
| Metric | Before (Manual) | After (AI + RQB) |
| Quotes per day (per rep) | 8-10 | 20-30+ |
| Errors requiring rework | 10-15% | <2% |
| Time to quote multiple carriers | 30-60 min | 5-10 min |
| Time to train new staff | Weeks | Days (automated workflows) |
Manual quoting is costing you more than you think.
