Top mistakes when launching a Insurance chatbot

Insurance chatbot rollouts usually fail because of the approach, not the technology. Here are the mistakes that kill the results.

Top mistakes

1. An "auto-responder" bot with no mandate to sell — it only forwards "a manager will contact you".
2. An empty knowledge base — the bot doesn't know the products or prices.
3. No closing action at the end of the conversation.
4. Ignoring the niche objections instead of handling them.
5. Launch-and-forget — nobody keeps enriching the knowledge base.

How to set up the bot for Insurance so it actually sells

• Specify what's insured and the list of covered risks — the agent quotes exactly the policy the customer needs.
• Spell out deductible terms and the payout process — the agent handles the biggest fear and keeps the customer in the chat.
• Set up side-by-side policy comparison right in the chat — the customer gets a choice without visiting a broker.

Which systems can the bot connect to

• Bitrix24, SalesDrive, 1C — and any other CRM
• Telegram, Instagram, and other messaging apps

Who this matters to most

A customer who needs a policy (auto, property, travel) and is comparing price and terms across several companies. Afraid "they won't pay out" and confused by deductibles. They buy when the agent quotes and compares in plain language.
