Listen "T@W Episode 19: Reimagining the Claims Process: How Salesforce Can Help Insurers Retain Customers"
Episode Synopsis
For too long, larger insurance providers have competed solely on price, and left customer experiences on the back burner. But the times are changing, and a wave of smaller providers and insurtechs are offering faster claims and more personalized experiences–and customers are taking note. According to a 2021 J.D. Power survey, 87% of customers feel that claims experiences influence their decision to stay with an insurer, and 86% say they’d pay more for a better experience overall. The message is clear: If larger providers want to stay dominant, they need to be able to offer a best-in-class claims experience, and that means leveraging digital tools to make that a reality.
In this episode of Transformation @ Work, we’re looking at the claims process in insurance, and how Salesforce can allow larger providers to truly personalize the experience for their customers.
