Gauging North American P&C Industry Sentiment on Tactics to Enhance CX

As policyholder retention becomes even more important than in previous years, enhancing CX can play a major role: Aite Group report

Boston, MA (Apr. 23, 2019) – The headwinds facing property and casualty carriers are effectively forcing them to focus less on growth plans and more on policyholder retention, because keeping business already on the books is less expensive than attracting new business. One of the carriers’ retention tactics is to improve the customer experience (CX). Aite Group’s new report, Gauging North American P&C Industry Sentiment on Tactics to Enhance CX, explores what carriers and their vendors are doing to improve CX to possibly increase policyholder retention.

“The prospect of increasing expenses in the pursuit of business is not something that any firm, let alone risk-averse insurance carriers, takes lightly,” states Jay Sarzen, senior analyst at Aite Group. “So instead of focusing heavily on consumers who are not yet customers, carriers are shifting their focus to existing policyholders and doing what they can to keep them on the books,” he explains.

This Impact Note examines carrier executives’ sentiment about enhancing a variety of CX-related matters, such as the efficacy of CX efforts, the CX efforts their firms are currently deploying, and the steps along the policyholder journey where CX would be best deployed. It is based on a survey of 48 executives at P&C insurance carriers and insurance technology vendors in North America conducted between February 2019 and March 2019.
