- Because, undeniably, things have changed dramatically due to new technologies ,
IoT, IA, etc. and will further change due to 5G…
- Customers and prospects are now almost ‘’sleeping with their smartphone’’, look at it every 5 minutes and
use it as their main professional and social interactions on messaging
platforms like Facebook, SMS, Instagram, Whatsapp, Slack, etc.
- Hence the matter is essential : are conventional insurers interacting with their
clients and prospects through these new channels, realtime, or will they
progressively but surely get marginalized?
- Conventional insurers are now under threat from:
- More agile conventional competitors, already investing and using digital,
IoT, IA, etc. to grow faster; Fintech/Insurtech companies, biting in some areas of the value chain;
- And soon, new players such as Amazon – Berkshire Hathaway–JP
Morgan and other similar regional/ local players looking at retail insurance as the next move…
No organization, innocountry, is immune to this game changing eco system
However, there are ways to adapt and even strive
- Often, when conventional insurers go digital, they use
tools of the trade like lead forms-“fill in your name,
title, etc. and maybe we’ll get back to you”-designed for a bygone era
- The old world that your competitors represent, still believesthat phone calls,
forms and email are how customers and prospectsare reached
- So, how can you win over them moving into the ‘’new world’’ accessing
prospects & customers starving for services delivered the way THEY like?
Winning in the new worldis not based on Product differentiation…
- neither using old world marketing tools, like phone calls, forms and email
- So, how can you win over competitors moving into the ‘’new world’’?
- It is all about accessing prospects & customers starving for services
delivered the way THEY like? It is with new digital services
