For consumers, one insurance company is replaceable with the next and insurance packages all look the same. More and more consumers are moving to the Web for purchase, service, and support. Insurance customers are digital and omnichannel. They use any number and combination of channels—social, mobile, the web, contact center, catalogs, stores—to complete one transaction, with their customer service expectation having been set by their experiences in other sectors, such as, retail and telecommunications. They could be hopping from one to the other channel, but will vent their feelings on the social web if you are not consistent. Deliver or die—that is the quandary facing the insurance sector.

Industry challenges and eGain solutions High customer attrition Customer attrition is the bane of the insurance sector. Consumers defect for a variety of reasons—better prices offered by a competitor, better customer service, and better reputation.

Consisting of customer service software for web self-service, email management, web collaboration, social media customer service, and knowledge management, the hub ensures that your company is able to provide superior customer experiences across touchpoints. Excellent customer service in turn leads to improvement in customer satisfaction, loyalty, and retention. FEATURED ARTICLE 7 Customer Service Mistakes Companies Should Avoid Making in 2021 Abandonment in online transactions and onboarding A significantly huge number of consumers are abandoning forms and transactions midway.

Offered as reactive and proactive offers of assistance at the point of need, they enable agents to solve customer issues so that bottlenecks to completing transactions are removed. Social platforms give control into the hands of the customer Customers share their experiences—mostly negative, but also positive feedback—online, on social networking sites, blogs, and community forums. They are also open to reviews and opinions made on this medium. Increasingly, these opinions, from friends and strangers, are influencing their buying decisions. eGain helps insurance companies design customer journeys according to customer preferences. The solution for social customer service, built on eGain’s customer engagement hub platform and integrated with other channels in the eGain suite, allows companies to manage social issues promptly and in line with an integrated customer service strategy.
