About the Client:

The client is one of the fastest-growing online insurance distribution platforms, offering a diverse array of insurance products. The company is focused on leveraging innovative solutions to provide customers with seamless access to insurance products while maintaining a strong commitment to customer satisfaction.

Challenges Faced:

Despite its rapid growth, the client faced several operational challenges that hindered customer satisfaction and lead conversion efficiency:

• Low Lead Penetration Efficiency: Due to delays in execution, the lead penetration efficiency in the southern market was at only 40% of the national average.
• Telesales Setup Issues: The client struggled to establish a fully operational telesales team for the southern region, limiting their ability to reach and engage potential customers.
• Inconsistent Lead Qualification: The success rate of qualifying leads was low, with only 5% of leads converting to qualified prospects.
• Customer Engagement Concerns: The existing calling scripts were not compelling enough to create curiosity or drive meaningful conversations, leading to missed sales opportunities.
• Need for Agile Process Delivery: The client sought to improve the overall quality and compliance in its processes through agile frameworks to meet the growing demands of the business.

Key Solutions & Outcomes Achieved:

Implementing Customer Advocacy Capture Tools

The client integrated customer advocacy capture tools to measure and assess the real-time voice of customers. This enabled the client to track shifts in customer interactions and gather valuable insights for continuous improvement.

Adopting an Agile Framework for Quality and Process Delivery

The use of an agile framework helped streamline operations and ensured a more flexible, iterative approach to managing quality and compliance in telesales processes.

Revised Calling Scripts

To improve conversion rates, the client tested three different calling scripts to determine which one was more effective at generating interest and engagement. These scripts were designed to create curiosity, helping agents catch the attention of potential customers and keep them engaged throughout the call.

The scripts were tested for their ability to appeal to the customer’s needs, address pain points, and push for stronger call-to-action responses.

Telesales Operations Setup for the Southern Market

The client partnered with an external provider to swiftly establish and run telesales operations for the southern region. This ensured quick ramp-up and efficiency while keeping turnaround times low.

Results:

• Improved Customer Satisfaction: With the use of real-time customer insights and a more agile approach, the client was able to address customer needs more effectively, leading to improved customer satisfaction and loyalty.
• Increased Operational Efficiency: Agile frameworks allowed for better control and process delivery, reducing delays and improving overall operational efficiency in telesales.

Conclusion:

By leveraging customer advocacy tools, agile frameworks, and revised calling scripts, the client successfully enhanced their telesales operations and increased lead conversion rates. The swift establishment of a southern telesales setup, along with improvements in customer engagement, allowed the company to overcome its previous challenges. These efforts have paved the way for continued growth and higher efficiency in reaching and converting potential insurance customers across the country.
