NEW: Launch Annex Products the Simple and Successful Way
Many businesses – such as telecom-providers, retailers or banks – have a substantial customer base and enjoy their customer’s confidence.
This confidence is a great value and should be utilized to open up new revenue sources.
Therefore, offering annex products alongside primary products makes a lot of sense. A lucrative way of doing so is to distribute insurances. However, including insurance products in your own portfolio, does come with quite some obstacles. Fortunately, Anivo has developed an innovative online-solution to make it work: a white-label-insurance platform.
Successfully offer insurances as annex products.
What are the greatest obstacles?
Selling insurance is a challenge. How come?
The insurance market is heavily regulated Selling insurance products requires a license. In Switzerland, for instance, the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority FINMA monitors the insurance market.
Insurance products are complex The technological implementation, in compliance with all legal requirements, demands considerable effort and occupies valuable IT-employee’s time. A resource usually found to be very limited.
Often underestimated: training and instruction of employees Initial training of a sales team on insurance products is cumbersome and time consuming. Specially trained and certified insurance experts are required. Getting the team on the track of success and keeping them there is a whole other challenge.
Paper-free conclusion of an insurance policy: during a meeting with the customer, the bank consultant brings in an Anivo insurance expert via video-call.
Our solution: White-label insurance platform for annex products.
Our all-in-one package offers simple and fast onboarding and acquisition-as-a-service.
Anivo 360 AG has developed a solution that solves the problems outlined above and enables businesses to increase customer margins easily. The solution consists in a white-label-platform for distributing insurances as annex products, that can be adjusted flexibly:
Degree of integration
The various degrees of integration span from a low level of integration (e.g. simple standalone web-application) to a full integration (customer-journey in corporate branding).
Consulting approaches
- Self-service – Customers simply complete their insurance online.
- Personal consultation via phone, chat or video-call with certified Anivo insurance experts: The advisory- and sales personnel doesn’t need to have any special insurance know-how. Your employee can simply start a video call with an Anivo insurance expert during a meeting with the customer (Acquisition-as-a-Service). The Anivo-adviser will then configure the ideal insurance solution for the customer in real time. The conclusion of the insurance contract takes place paper-free during the video conversation.
Concluding the insurance policy
The contract can be concluded in different ways: It is possible to issue a nonbinding offer which is signed later on, or the insurance contract can be signed directly within the online transaction.
