Overview

The recent times have witnessed several changes in the insurance industry with leading insurers moving towards digitization across the value chain. Despite the emergence of distribution channels, insurance producers still occupy the center stage when it comes to big ticket sales. Producers, be it exclusive or independent agents, brokers or financial advisors, are indispensable for business acquisition and maintaining customer connects. Personalized service is the crux of the game and this is where producer sales enablement solutions become so important as they empower the agency force to bring in new business, provide assurance for customer retention and loyalty, revenue growth, and increased social collaboration.

Targeted campaign is aimed at discovering the relationship between life events and consumer needs for pinpointing marketing windows and approaches. Patterns arising out of life events may be used to rethink customer/prospect segments and personalize products.

Our transformational projects in the area of providing cross-selling and up-selling opportunities enable enhancing the producer systems and tools with the help of cutting-edge technologies. Producers are viewed as trusted partners in the insurance value chain rather than a transactional partner to insurance sales.
