It’s easier than ever for consumers to find insurance, compare costs, and switch plans—which can both help and hurt insurers. With a commercial about saving money on your insurance playing every five minutes, it’s no surprise that policyholders are tempted to shop around. Because of this, P&C insurers are often faced with policyholders who, rather than opting to remain on their plan, choose to switch providers at the renewal period. Lured by promotions, these policy-hoppers seek the best deals and change policies when they think they spy greener grass elsewhere. Combatting this trend can be difficult, however, CX Insurance Services’ Retention Improvement Program has proven effective at slowing the tide.
P&C insurers who have had the opportunity to utilize the CXIS Retention Improvement Plan have reported an increase in retention of approximately 2-3%. Some companies, including Le Mars Insurance, a Donegal Insurance Company, have seen an increase of up to six points in policyholder retention. This saves insurers money since retaining policyholders costs less than attempting to acquire new policyholders. In addition, it increases the opportunities for cross-selling and upselling. Not only is this beneficial for P&C insurance companies but it can help better support policyholders as well. With a measured approach to targeting at-risk policies and a deeper understanding of why policyholders choose to not renew, P&C insurers can craft a cohesive strategy to retain more customers and propel growth. Our video explains this further.
CXIS’s Retention Improvement Plan isn’t just another analytics package. CXIS President Joseph Serrano put it succinctly when he differentiated the company’s Retention Improvement Plan. “Our program is a different blend of data aggregation and tactical business process. Data on its own can be somewhat useless—it helps to actually do something with it. Our retention program is delivering results for P&C companies because it’s a balance of targeting, predicting, and tactical policy retention. We’ve fused technology and service together in a simple monthly subscription model, and the ROI for clients has been compelling. So in other words, things actually get done.”
