THE  EVOLUTION  OF  CONSUMER  EXPECTATIONS  

Personas  

•  Access  and  knowledge  beyond  what  they  could  find  out  for  themselves    •  Easy  to  understand  facts  and  informa#on:  inefficient  communica3on  will  result  in  

fact  finding  and  debunking    •  Ability  to  self-­‐service  •  Technology:  bring  an  experience  that  is  easy,  instantaneous  and  intui3ve.    •  Touch  points  and  keystrokes  that  have  informa#on  served  up  concierge-­‐style  

based  on  IP  address  or  satellite  loca3on  or  other  useful  tools  •  Expect  the  person  on  the  other  end  to  be  as  connected  as  they  are  when  they  do  

have  to  call  

What  are  they  expec#ng?  

Insurance: Selling  policies  or  crea3ng    value  for  life-­‐3me  customers?  

•  About  Lead  Management  –  You  should  have  done  your  homework  on  me  because  I  have  done  it  on  you  and  your  

company  –  Know  and  use  my  preferred  method  of  communica#on  –  if  you  want  me  to  respond  –  My  buying  paSerns  are  non  linear  and  I  control  them  

•  About    New  Business  –  I  have  made  a  commitment  to  you;  it  must  feel  reciprocal  –  Tell  me  what  to  expect  up  front;  I  want  the  worst  case  scenario  not  surprises  –  You  have  to  give  me  a  compelling  reason  why;  I  am  going  to  double  check  you  anyway  –  Get  it  right  the  first  #me  

•  About    Customer  Service  –  I  want  to  be  visible  and  important  –  Keep  in  touch  with  me  digitally  not  directly  –  Have  the  answers  at  your  finger#ps;  I  am  impa#ent  with  inefficiencies  

•  About    Claim  Processing  –  Tell  me  why  I  need  to  do  this  and  where  I  go  to  get  it  done  –  Tell  me  what  I  need  to  get  you  and  make  sure  I  can  send  it  from  my  device  

What  are  consumers  thinking  and  feeling  

ITS  NOT  JUST  A  MILLENNIAL  THING  

… How  millennial  are  you?  

Agents  and  Brokers  are  important  yet  have  become  tradi#onal  channels.    

Customers  are  searching  before  they  buy  is  an  understatement  

Customers  are  used  to  having  access  (at  the  click  of  a  buSon  is  what  we  used  to  say).    CUSTOMER  CONVENIENCE  IS  ESSENTIAL  FOR  DOING  BUSINESS  

Yet,  many  things  remain  the  same    

•  Insurance  con#nues  to  be  viewed  as  complex  industry  •  Agents  con#nue  to  find  selling  a  cumbersome  task  •  Buying  insurance  is  cloaked  in  ambiguity  and  contradictory  

informa3on.  •  Carriers,  agents  and  customers  s#ll  work  in  silos,  with  differing  

expecta3ons  from  the  same  insurance  products  •  Many  systems  con#nue  to  be  policy  centric  •  Systems  are  in  place  that  are  not  intui#ve  and  cause  increased  

cogni3ve  load    •  We  con#nue  to  work  and  to  provide  to  our  customers  

overwhelming  interac3ons  

 

The  Journey  

How  has  the  digital  world  effected  the  Customer  Journey?    

Classic  Journey   New  Journey  

•  Your  not  just  compared  to  other  insurance  or  financial  companies  –  You  have  to  be  what  good  looks  like    –  You  have  to  be  “on”  –  You  have  to  be  relevant  (predic#ve)  –  You  have  to  be  helpful  

•  Customers  are  mul#-­‐channel  users  the  balance  of  power  has  shiUed.  –  How  easy  is  it  to  do  business  with  you?  

•  The  insurance  company  no  longer  has  a  monopoly  on  product  informa#on    digital  informa3on  is  just  a  click  away  –  You  have  to  credibly  address  misinforma#on        

•  Customers  expect  rou#ne  processes  to  be  self-­‐service  –  Creates  a  paradigm  shib  in  the  nature  of  calls,  making  the  average  call  more  

complex  and  longer  •     Customers  are  no  longer  looking  at  what  the  organiza#on  says  about  its  brand  

–  They  are  looking  at  what  their  friends  and  followers  say  about  a  brand  

What  does  it  mean  for  human  interac#on  in  the  Insurance  Industry?  

Change  in  the  insurance  industry  is  a  bit  like  TURNING  A  SUPERTANKER  –  I  Work  on  the  ‘Supertanker’  CAN  WE  TURN  THIS  THING  AROUND?    

Talking  the  talk…  

•  Omni-­‐Channel  •  Touchpoint/Touchpoint  Management  •  Holis#c  •  360  Degree  view  

•  Customer  Centric/Client  Centric  •  Disrup#ve  Innova#on/Disrup#ve  Technologies  •  Big  Data/Datafica#on  •  Cloud  Compu#ng  •  Upsell/Cross  Sell  

                     

Understanding  the  buzz,  stops  the  noise  

… How  noisy  is  it?  

Keeping  that  new  customer  feeling.  

Walking  the  walk..  

•  Ease  of  use  will  enable  ease  of  knowledge  transfer  and  customer  support  •  Remove  industry  jargon  and  legaleeze    where  it  can  not  be  avoided  it  must  be  

understood  and  explained  •  Do  not  let  “because  we  have  always  done  it  that  way”  be  an  answer  you  give  or  a  

reason  you  take.    •  Understand  the  shib  toward  Values-­‐Based  Products  •  Response  channels  need  to  be  prompt  and  thoughXul    

How  the  infrastructure  effects  mee#ng  customer  expecta#ons  

… Purpose  or  Protocol?  

•  Sales  –  Seamless  integra#on  between  carrier,  csr  and    agency  systems  –  simple,  seamless  –  Quick  modern  plalorm  adap#ve  to  changing  market  needs  –  Having  a  clear  understanding  of  what  products  are  offered  and  how  they  are  relevant  –  Provide  channel  of  choice  

•  Gain  and  keep  customer’s  trust    –  Capture  a  comprehensive  view  of  customer  needs  easily  and  quickly,  360  degree  view  of  

customer  –  View  and  discuss  coverage  and  coverage  needs  with  clients,  uncover  life  goals  –  Capture  objec#ves  and  risks  –  Accurately  profile  customer  and  poten#al  products  before  speaking  –  Convey  the  value  of  each  touchpoint  

•  Ease  of  doing  business  –  Minimize  processing  #me  –  data  prefill  –  Digital  capabili#es,  provide  channel  of  choice  to  customers  –  Leverage  modern  mobile  plalorms  and  capabili#es  to  op#mize  efficiency  

Where  expecta#on  turns  into  implementa#on  

Trust  and  engagement  need  to  be  established  among  agent,  customer,  CSR  and  Carrier  (brand).
