Edward Cook is the founder of Silkee Solutions, a Colorado-based VA company helping insurance agents, brokers, and sales professionals delegate smarter. He built Silkee after seeing first-hand how much time insurance professionals lose to admin tasks a well-managed VA could handle far more efficiently.
Who Switches to Silkee Solutions?
Silkee is not a one-size-fits-all platform. Here are the four profiles of insurance and sales professionals who get the most value — and why their previous provider fell short.
Life Agents & Final Expense Producers
Many VA services are built for P&C workflows only. Life insurance agents, final expense producers, and annuity specialists find those workflows simply don’t match their business. Silkee supports all insurance verticals — not just property and casualty.
Brokers Managing Multiple Carriers
If you place business across carriers — life, health, P&C — you need a VA trained across systems, not just one product line. Silkee matches VAs to your specific book and provides ongoing management as your needs evolve.
Agency Owners Who Need More Than Back-Office
Running an agency means wearing every hat. Most insurance VA services stop at back-office tasks. Silkee’s Executive and Customised packages cover inbox, team coordination, reporting, and strategic support that niche-only providers simply don’t offer.
Realtors & Financial Advisors With Insurance Overlap
If your practice spans insurance, real estate, or wealth management, you need a provider supporting all three verticals. Silkee is the only fully managed option built to serve multi-discipline professionals without compromise.
Six Reasons Agents Look for a Different VA Provider
Here is what we hear most often from insurance professionals who have made the switch to Silkee Solutions.
P&C-Only Training Leaves Life Agents Underserved
Several leading VA services were built by P&C underwriters for P&C agencies. Life insurance agents, final expense producers, and annuity specialists find the workflows simply don’t match their business. Silkee supports every insurance vertical.
No Annual Commitment Incentive
Most insurance VA providers offer no annual discount. Silkee gives you $100 off per month on annual plans — $1,200 back every year — plus a $0 startup fee so you get going without any upfront cost or financial risk.
Limited Scope Beyond Insurance Admin
If you need insurance back-office support and an executive assistant, most niche providers force a second vendor. Silkee covers the full spectrum of your support needs — calendar, inbox, reporting, and more — in a single managed relationship.
No Support for Real Estate or Financial Advisory
Professionals whose practice spans insurance, real estate, and financial planning find narrow VA services too limiting. Silkee is the only fully managed option built to serve multi-vertical professionals without compromise.
Faster Onboarding With Pre-Built Workflows
Silkee clients are typically delegating real tasks within 48 hours. Pre-built post-sale processes mean your VA does not need weeks of onboarding before contributing value — productive from day one using proven systems.
Free Replacement — No Awkward Conversations
If your VA is not the right fit for any reason — skills, schedule, or communication style — Silkee replaces them for free. We manage the entire transition so your operations keep running without interruption.
VA vs. a Full-Time Hire — The Real Cost Comparison
Most agents are comparing Silkee to hiring an in-house admin. Here is the math that makes the decision straightforward.

| Full-time admin hire (salary + benefits + overhead) | ~$55,000/yr |
| Recruiting & onboarding costs | ~$3,000–$6,000 |
| Benefits, payroll taxes & HR overhead | ~$8,000–$12,000/yr |
| Office space & equipment | ~$3,000–$5,000/yr |
| Total estimated annual cost | ~$70,000+ |
| Silkee Solutions (annual plan) | Custom quote |
| Startup / setup fee | 0 — waived |
| Your estimated annual saving | $30,000–$50,000+ |

What Agents Say After Making the Switch
From life insurance producers to P&C agency owners — here is what Silkee clients tell us after their first 90 days.
“My VA handles all my post-sale follow-ups and carrier calls now. I went from three hours of daily admin to focusing entirely on prospecting and closing. Best business decision I have made in years — the ROI was obvious within the first month.”
“Onboarded in under 48 hours. The workflows were already built — I did not set up anything from scratch. My assistant was managing my inbox and pipeline by day two. I honestly did not believe it would be that fast until I experienced it myself.”
“I have reclaimed 15 hours a week. My persistency rate has never been higher because nothing falls through the cracks anymore. The $0 startup fee made it a no-brainer to try Silkee — and switching was the best call I have made for my agency.”
