2: Insurance Adviser to the rescue

Insurance industry often gets a bad rep because oftentimes when it is being covered on the front pages or when a post goes viral online, it is because of unprofessional practices by insurance companies or agents/advisers.

The value a professional insurance adviser brings often goes unnoticed. We believe that should change!

Hence, more people should read about and share how a financial consultant went out of her way (and how the insurance company delivered) to help a policyholder who had no idea that she was covered for and could claim for a critical illness benefit. This even though the financial consultant wasn't the original adviser and had no financial benefits whatsoever in doing so.

Nowhere is the importance of the human touch more evident than the continued effectiveness of life insurance agents in Asia, even with all the technological disruptions that have allowed insurers to connect directly to the customer.

5. Even digital customers want human touch

And further evidence that face-to-face is not disappearing anytime soon even with all the tech and gadgets available to us, Accenture Strategy's Digital Disconnect in Customer Engagement report says that even for customers (especially millennials) who are typically more prone to use digital channels, there are many situations in which customers prefer to engage with people.
