Mastering customer retention
Mastering customer retention
Profitable growth is a key topic for all insurers in all geographies. Traditionally, insurers have focused on maximizing new sales: new products, channels, segments, incentives, and so on. But over the years, market leaders have discovered that profitable growth requires not only increasing new sales but also successfully retaining customers to increase the total lifetime value of their portfolios. In this Viewpoint, we describe a comprehensive framework to design a successful retention model and share some of the best practices from leading insurers.

Tesla Insurance, the automaker’s insurance division, aims to capture a large share of motor insurance among Tesla owners by providing enhanced customer experience compared to traditional motor insurers. In this Viewpoint, we analyze the extent to which OEM-provided motor insurance can be a game changer and disrupt the industry.
Improving claims management
Claims management is growing increasingly complex, presenting an enormous challenge for insurance companies to identify new opportunities and define solutions. A pragmatic and detailed analysis of a random sample of closed claims enables insurers to identify customer and provider journey pain points, as well as reveal opportunities for the claims management team. In this Viewpoint, we share a tool for pinpointing the root causes of claim errors, quantifying areas for enhancement, and designing new opportunities for boosting insurance companies’ continuous improvement.
