Click reports massive growth in online enquiries for life insurance
- New technology accelerates life enquiry volumes
- Faster turnaround means quick settlement for brokers’ leads commission
CLICK, the online and telephone-based life cover specialist reports an enormous surge in internet-based life cover enquiries as consumers wise up to the advantages of going online for quotes.
The company has doubled its volumes of Net-based business in each of the past three consecutive years, as more households become PC savvy and clients look to secure faster quotes.
"Unlocking the potential of online life insurance promotion has been a difficult challenge that has taken us six years to perfect," says Click managing director Steve Teague, "but it would have been much tougher had we been starting out in today’s competitive market."
"However, as technology has been a central part of our success, it is good to see that our internet strategy is really starting to bear fruit – now we are looking to consolidate its high enquiry levels and to realise our ambitions to secure the top spot in the online life brokers’ league," adds Teague.
Click is one of the largest buyers of online life cover leads in the B2B arena and offers some potentially lucrative deals to partners in this sector.
"We use in-house systems to contact the client virtually instantaneously to discuss their life insurance requirements, as the quicker we convert an enquiry to policy, the faster the broker can look forward to the commission," explains Teague.
Click’s underwriter agreements, underpinned by an extensive insurer panel, mean it can offer very competitive life premiums which are more than a match for rival low cost supermarket cover.
"We are also currently in the early stages of talks with a major High Street retailer, which would give a significant boost to our distribution channels, and will be a key driver in helping us secure our overall sales targets for 2007 and beyond," says Teague.
Click's life division is regulated by the Financial Services Authority.
