Open›Consumer Experience.
The life insurance coverage gap is very real. Recent data from LIMRA shows that life insurance sales continue to decline. At the same time, more than half of non-insured people LIMRA surveyed would like life insurance coverage and think it’s important. So people want life insurance but aren’t buying it – why?
As with most answers to big questions, there are a variety of reasons why people aren’t buying life insurance policies. The biggest by far is that the experience of purchasing life insurance products is simply too difficult:
- The self-serve experience is too cumbersome to go it alone
- Complex products make it even more difficult to navigate without professional help
- The relationship between cost and value is unclear, so many people assume they can’t afford coverage
- Lengthy paper-based application processes that can take weeks or months to get a coverage decision
The bottom line is that the life and annuities industry must make it easier to understand, buy, and manage these important financial products. Truth be told, it’s easier to buy a car online these days than it is to buy life and annuities products.
