Control, Store, Share: The Smarter Way to Do Insurance Needs Analysis

In the world of insurance advising, clarity, customization, and control are everything. Yet many advisors still rely on external or third-party tools to generate insurance need analysis reports for their clients. While these tools can be quick and convenient, they come with serious limitations — limited branding, no data retention, and little control over the user experience.

That’s why we built Simahi CRM’s custom Insurance Need Analysis Calculator — a powerful tool that integrates directly into your client management workflow and empowers agents to analyze, save, download, and share insurance need reports with ease. In this article, we’ll explore why having your own calculator is a smarter, scalable solution.

What Is an Insurance Need Analysis Calculator?

It’s a step-by-step tool that helps you determine how much life insurance coverage a client truly needs. The analysis typically considers:

The result? A clear picture of the insurance gap — which can be used to recommend suitable products, justify coverage amounts, and support informed decisions.

The Problem with Using External Need Calculators

Limitation Impact on Your Business
No branding Clients don’t see your name or logo
No storage Can’t access or reference old calculations
No data connection Doesn’t sync with your CRM, contacts, or policies
One-off use Can’t build a pipeline from the reports you generate
No PDF/email/export Limited post-calculation usability

These generic tools serve the immediate need but fail to add long-term value for your business.
