    Tom has demonstrated superlative initiative in as he has picked up new responsibilities. Theseinclude the phone system, CVl, MPA, Encryption and the test environment for Source Code. Hehas found areas for improvement in the phone system that will positively impact our ability to turnleads into inforce policies. Tllese areas were not touched in the previous five years, rather thesystem was considered good enough. After six months of off and on study, squeezed in betweenother projects, Tom began bringing the phone system up to a higher standard. ln December 25-33% of calls did not have state found by DBlookup, these then went to TRG. Tom lowered thisto less than 2%, while some of these recovered calls overflow to TRG, it appears more calls arenow answered by agents. Tom raised the possibility to management of using phone numberprefix data to segment our calls, and now this is part of the Liveops algorithm. This allows us tofocus on more likely to convert calls, especially whon we're busy. As of early May, with April CRlssiill rising, it appears April will end up close to or above March's totals, With tax monthtraditlonally being slower for SelectQuote, this is a marked improvement, Even discounting thebenefits of using prefix data, since it is still to early to make definite assessments, the dialerreports show 332 non-clobe sales made from iype I Liveops calls. These are calls that wouldhave likely abandoned otherwise. Tom also made improvements in our routlng scripts avoiding aSpanlink charge for out-of-scope work quoted at slightly over $20,000. These changes havereduced call router timeouts that lead to dropped calls and ihey save administration effort as wellas lessen the chances of a mistake that could result in mis-routed calls.
