## Why Sona Is a Better Answering Service for Insurance Agencies

### 1. Capture every quote request

Insurance prospects shop around and call when their need is urgent — after an accident, before a policy renewal, or when comparing rates. Sona picks up every call 24/7, captures coverage type, contact info, and timeline, and delivers it to your agents instantly. No more losing quotes to voicemail.

### 2. Handle high call volumes during claims surges

After storms, accidents, or natural disasters, call volume spikes dramatically. Sona scales instantly — no staffing delays, no hold times. Every policyholder gets a professional response and their claim details captured for your team.

### 3. More cost-effective

Traditional insurance answering services charge $200–$400+/month with per-minute overages that spike during claims surges. Sona charges a flat fee for the first 40 calls/month, then $1 per call. Predictable pricing when you need it most.

### 4. Consistent, compliant responses

Train Sona on your agency's approved messaging, coverage FAQs, and claims procedures. Every caller gets accurate, consistent information — no operator ad-libbing policy details.
