Legacy insurance technology is costly and debatably efficient but there is more and more talk about the hidden fees that come with accessing your data. Sherif Gemayel,founder of Trufla Technologyshares some thoughts on what he calls "Tech Tariffs". In this episode:

  • What the true cost of operation is for many brokers and agents
  • Why you are paying a fee for a non-revenue generating action
  • How technology and SaaS services are priced and the extra charges
  • Why core systems need to deliver core value for insurance agents and brokers
  • Learn how to avoid paying a tech tariff


Sherif knows a thing or two about how insurance distribution works as he's built a company to support the channel, but that does not mean he sits back and let's others get away with unjust and unfair charges.
