Sanlam Indie Sales Agent Experience

Designing an agent-assisted sales tool that helps call centre agents sell insurance more efficiently while providing a smoother customer experience.

Role

Platform

Goal

Help call centre agents sell life and funeral cover more efficiently.


The Challenge

Sanlam Indie operates as a digital-first insurance business, allowing customers to purchase policies online.

However, many customers still prefer assistance when buying insurance. To support this, the team needed to create an agent sales dashboard that allowed call centre agents to complete purchases on behalf of customers.

The challenge was to design a tool that would:

• reduce friction during the sales process

• help agents close more sales

• improve the overall customer experience

Research

To understand the current workflow and challenges, we conducted several research activities.

Desk research

We analysed the existing direct-to-consumer onboarding flow to understand the current sales journey.

Stakeholder interviews

We conducted interviews with internal stakeholders to identify business requirements.

Contextual inquiry

I spent time observing call centre agents and interviewing them while they handled real customer calls to better understand their workflow and pain points.

Key insights

Research revealed several issues with the existing sales process:

• agents often lost sales due to slow or complex systems

• agents needed to ask customers for information multiple times

• switching between systems created delays and confusion

• it was difficult for agents to explain delays to customers

Agents also emphasized that speed and clarity were essential to maintaining trust during a call.

Design

Using Lean UX principles, we translated insights into a streamlined agent sales journey.

The solution focused on:

• simplifying the quote and onboarding process

• reducing steps in the sales flow

• presenting key information clearly during calls

Having an established component library allowed us to move directly into high-fidelity prototyping, enabling faster testing and iteration.

Testing

To validate the solution, I ran a structured usability test process:

  1. Defined a test plan
  2. Created assumptions and hypotheses
  3. Developed test scripts
  4. Recruited and scheduled participants
  5. Facilitated usability sessions
  6. Analysed results and compiled findings

Six participants took part in the initial testing sessions.

Outcome

Feedback from agents was overwhelmingly positive. After a short adjustment period, agents were able to complete tasks more quickly and with fewer errors.

The testing also surfaced valuable insights that informed further iterations and improvements to the sales journey.

Frequently asked questions

At Getmo we like to be transparent. If this FAQ does not answer all your question, please book a 15-minute introduction call.

General questions

What is Getmo?

Getmo is a subscription-based design and Webflow service that gives startups, marketing agencies and SaaS teams unlimited design requests, fast turnarounds, and predictable monthly pricing — all handled by a senior designer at Getmo.

How does the subscription work?

You subscribe using PayPal, submit design requests in our client portal, and we work through them one by one. You can pause or cancel anytime, so you only pay when you need Getmo.

Who is Getmo best suited for?

Fast-moving startups, SaaS companies, marketing teams and small teams that need consistent, high-quality design work without the cost or overhead of hiring in-house designers or traditional agencies.

How quickly can we get started?

Getting started is fast and straightforward. First, we’ll walk you through a short demo so you can see exactly how our workflow and client portal operate. We'll also assess whether our services would be appropriate for your needs. If you’re ready to move forward, simply subscribe via PayPal. From there, we’ll onboard your team into the Getmo client portal. Once you’re set up, you can immediately start submitting design requests — and you’ll begin receiving your first design artefacts and responses within 48-72 hours.

What makes Getmo different from agencies or freelancers?

Getmo is fast, flexible, and predictable. No contracts, no hourly rates, no limits on requests or revisions. Just a dedicated to delivering quality work at startup speed.

Do you use AI

Yes — Getmo thoughtfully integrates AI tools to enhance efficiency while maintaining the highest design standards. Technologies like Figma’s Make, ChatGPT, and Claude help accelerate early exploration, content drafting, and initial concept development.

However, every final deliverable is crafted, refined, and quality-checked by a human. AI supports the process — the expertise, judgment, and creative direction always come from seasoned professionals.

Scope of work
What kind of design and web development work can you do?

Getmo covers a wide range of creative and web work — including UI/UX design, App design, Webflow development, brand identity, illustrations, pitch decks, marketing design, and social media creatives. If it’s design-related, we can handle it.

We work in Figma for UI and web design, Webflow for development, and Photoshop/Illustrator for branding and graphic work. We also use AI tools to streamline workflows and speed up delivery.

How many requests can I submit?

Unlimited. Add as many requests as you want to your queue. Getmo completes them one at a time with fast turnaround.

Do you offer revisions?

Yes, unlimited revisions. Getmo keeps iterating until you’re 100% happy.

What kind of web development do you do?

Getmo currently design and develop Webflow websites only — from simple landing pages to full multi-page sites. Just submit your requirements through the client portal and we’ll take it from there. We’re also working toward adding support for Framer and custom web development in the future.

Workflow delivery
How fast will I receive my designs?

Most tasks are delivered within 48–72 hours. Bigger or more complex projects may take longer, but we’ll always communicate timelines upfront.

How do I submit requests?

You’ll use Getmo's simple client portal to submit tasks, upload assets, give feedback, and communicate directly with the founder and designer of Getmo.

Do I work with the same designer every time?

Absolutely. You’ll work directly with the founder of Getmo on every project.

I intentionally keep the studio boutique so I can stay deeply involved in each client engagement. That means consistent quality, clear communication, and a strong understanding of your product over time.

For specialized development beyond Webflow, I collaborate with trusted partners when required — but I remain your single point of contact throughout.

What if I don’t like the first version?

No problem — we revise until it’s right. That’s the core benefit of our unlimited revision model.

Pricing policies
How much does Getmo cost?

We offer a flat monthly fee. No hidden charges, no billing surprises, no extra costs for revisions or bigger tasks. See our pricing page for details

Can I pause my subscription?

Yes — anytime. If you don’t need design work for a week or month, pause your subscription so you’re not paying for idle time.

Is there a long-term commitment?

No. Month-to-month, cancel anytime.

Do you offer a money-back guarantee?

Yes, to some extent. If you're not happy with our service in the first two weeks, we'll refund you 75% of the monthly subscription fee. An example, if your subscription costs $3,900, we'll refund you $2,925.
