“Serving the insurance needs of small business owners as an agent or broker requires great coverage, competitive pricing, and an easy, efficient quoting and binding experience. NEXT’s digital approach to providing insurance coverage for small businesses and partners has changed the tides of how customers interact with their agent and insurance carrier. I’m excited to be part of NEXT’s commitment to the agency channel.” – Jack Ramsey, VP of Agents at NEXT.

To better serve small businesses, we must work closely with their trusted agent partners, and we believe our digital strategy can help deliver a heightened, simpler experience for them. We are excited to have Jack Ramsey lead our agent channel and believe with his appointment, NEXT is taking an important step toward supporting the agent community.” – Guy Goldstein, CEO and co-founder of NEXT.
