Life insurers around the world face a difficult challenge. A new Accenture survey reveals that although the majority of customers are reasonably content with the service they receive, satisfaction levels have declined. What is more, customers are more able and willing than ever to switch providers.
To differentiate themselves and attract those customers who do not feel bound by ties of loyalty, carriers would have to offer keener pricing, better products and enhanced service�in short, more value for money. However most insurers have been striving for years to reduce their costs, so it is not easy for them now to offer their customers more for less�and certainly not if they try do so using current practices.
Fortunately, new technologies and strategies have made it possible for insurers to transform their cost structures, improve their understanding of their customers� needs, and deliver more customized and competitively priced life insurance products and services. These should go a long way toward addressing high customer attrition rates, and attracting new customers who are predisposed to switch carriers.
