Tweetable Quotes:

  • “What we’ve done with Adapt API is, we are automating a lot of these repetitive tasks, these things that are steps one through ten, do the same thing every single day. We do it for you with the software, so that you can focus on the actual relationship driven and insurance side of the business.” – Jacob Simon
  • “We have something that works for most agents, you’re going to be paying just like a usage basis, which ends up being, you know, much, much, much lower than any of those custom build solutions would be.” – Jacob Simon
