- Where the revenue leaks: Renewals.
- Tallium AI CRM is a flat $99 USD per month for the whole workspace with unlimited users included.

The pipeline insurance brokers actually run
Most CRMs ship with a generic lead-to-won funnel. For insurance brokers the stages that carry information are 1. Enquiry, 2. Quote requested, 3. Quotes presented, 4. Policy bound, 5. Renewal due. Rename the default stages to these once and the board immediately tells you something useful, because a deal sitting too long in "Quotes presented" is a different problem from one sitting in "Quote requested".
Where the deals actually leak
Renewals. A book of business only compounds if every policy is chased before it lapses, and lapse dates do not remind you themselves. Ageing on the board is what surfaces it: the deals you need to see are the quiet ones, and quiet deals are invisible in an inbox and in a spreadsheet.
Households and companies, properly linked
One client can hold motor, medical and property cover. Linking contacts to a company or family record shows the whole relationship, which is where cross-sell actually lives.
Renewal dates as scheduled work
Every policy carries an expiry, and the renewal conversation is a dated task months ahead. Retention in broking is an operations problem before it is a sales one.
How this works for businesses in the UAE
Selling in the UAE has its own shape. In the UAE most B2B deals are worked on WhatsApp, often across three languages, and the enquiry arrives on a personal phone. The CRM that wins is the one that captures that thread as a lead instead of losing it in chat history. Tallium AI CRM is set up for that: enquiries arriving over WhatsApp are captured as leads with the source recorded, deal values are entered in the numbers your team quotes in AED, and the whole team, from a two-person trading LLC to a forty-person operation across Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah, works from the same records at one flat price. Common verticals here, including real estate, trading and distribution and interior fit-out, all run on the same default pipeline with the stage names changed once.
Everyone in the business, on one system
An insurance brokerage rarely has a clean split between sales and everyone else. The person who answers the phone, the person who prices the job and the person who chases payment all hold part of the relationship. Because every user is included at one flat price, all of them can be on the record instead of only the closers, which is what makes the history true rather than partial.
Tallium AI CRM vs notebooks, phone contacts and chat history
Plenty of profitable businesses run entirely on a notebook, a phone's contact list and WhatsApp history. It works because one person remembers everything. The risk is concentration: the relationships are owned by an individual rather than the company, and none of it is searchable by anyone else.
| Tallium AI CRM | notebooks, phone contacts and chat history | |
|---|---|---|
| Who owns the relationship | The business. Records live in the workspace | The individual, on their device |
| Finding past context | Search across contacts, notes and deals | Scrolling chat history |
| Handover to a colleague | Open the record, full history is there | A verbal briefing, and gaps |
| Follow-up discipline | Dated tasks that surface when due | Memory |
| Visibility for the owner | Live pipeline across the whole team | Ask each salesperson |
| Staff turnover | No data loss | The book and the contacts walk out |
Why teams choose Tallium AI CRM
AI that removes admin, not judgement
Incoming leads are sorted by intent so the ready-to-buy ones surface first, and follow-up messages are drafted for you to edit and send. It is aimed at the twenty minutes a day lost to admin, not at replacing the salesperson's read of a deal.
Your data stays yours
Contacts, deals and history live in your workspace and export cleanly to CSV whenever you want them. There is no lock-in through an export fee or a proprietary format, which is the right test to apply to any CRM before you commit.
Fast on a phone, because that is where sales happens
The pipeline, contact search and task list are usable one-handed between meetings. A CRM that only works properly at a desk gets updated at the end of the week, which means it is wrong for most of it.
Flat $99 a month for the whole workspace
One price covers the business, not one seat. There is no per-user rate to multiply, no tier to be upgraded into and no contact-count step. Budgeting for a CRM stops being a forecast of how many people you might hire.
Unlimited users, so the record is actually complete
Sales, support, finance, operations and the owner all get logins with permissions deciding what each can see. Per-seat CRMs quietly push teams to leave people off the system, and the customer history is incomplete exactly where it matters most.
Working on day one, not after a project
A sensible default pipeline, clean contact and company records and lead capture forms ship with the account. Rename the stages to match how you sell, import your contacts, and the CRM is live the same afternoon.
Getting started, step by step
- Rename the default pipeline stages to Enquiry, Quote requested, Quotes presented, Policy bound, Renewal due.
- Import contacts and companies from a CSV export of your spreadsheet, mailbox or previous CRM. Map the columns once and merge duplicates as you go.
- Rename the default pipeline stages so the board matches how you actually sell, then move your open deals onto it with values and expected close dates.
- Publish a lead capture form and put it on your website, so new enquiries create contacts automatically with the source recorded.
- Set the follow-up rule the team will keep: every open deal carries a next step with a date and an owner. This is the habit that decides whether the CRM works.
Frequently asked questions
Can we track policy renewals in Tallium AI CRM?
Yes. Record the renewal date on the deal or contact and create the follow-up task against it, so the renewal appears in the owner's list weeks before expiry. Brokers usually run a dedicated renewals pipeline alongside new business so the two do not compete for attention.
Does it handle multiple policies for one client?
Yes. Each policy is a separate deal linked to the same contact, so the timeline shows the full relationship while each policy keeps its own value, insurer and renewal date.
How much does Tallium AI CRM cost in the UAE?
Tallium AI CRM is a flat $99 USD per month for the whole workspace, billed in USD, which teams in the UAE usually compare against per-seat tools quoted in AED equivalents. Unlimited users are included, so the price does not change when you hire. There are no per-seat fees, no feature tiers and no contact-count steps.
Does Tallium AI CRM charge per user?
No. Every plan includes unlimited users. That is the structural difference from most CRMs, and it changes behaviour as much as cost: when a login is free, support and finance go on the system too, and the customer record stops having holes in it.
Is Tallium AI CRM suitable for a small business in the UAE?
Yes. It is built for teams of two to fifty who need a pipeline that stays current, contact records the whole team can see, and follow-ups that happen on a date rather than from memory. In the UAE, where much of the selling happens over WhatsApp, the important part is that enquiries from those channels are captured as leads rather than lost in a phone.
How long does setup take?
Most teams are working in the CRM the same day. The account ships with a default pipeline, contact and company records and lead capture, so setup is importing your contacts and renaming stages rather than a configuration project. There is no implementation fee and no consultant required.
Can I import my existing contacts?
Yes. Export to CSV from a spreadsheet, mailbox, phone or your current CRM and import it, mapping columns to contact and company fields. Deals import with stage, value and owner, so an existing pipeline arrives intact rather than being rebuilt by hand.
