Figure 1: How to differentiate compliant, reactive and proactive forms of transactional customer interactions from personalised interactions

Compliant

  • Comply with the rules and process customer instructions as received
  • E.g. send a policy renewal letter by post
  • E.g. cancel policy on request

Reactive

  • Engage customers in response to lapsing
  • E.g. triage inbound phone calls for cancelation
  • E.g. SMS and outbound phone call for missed premiums

Proactive

  • Segment based analytics for a specific purpose
  • E.g. promote transitioning customers to monthly credit card payments
  • E.g. encourage customers to buy additional cover

Personalised

  • Engagement and nudges based on individual customer triggers, preferences and behaviours
  • E.g. outbound phone calls at a time when each individual customer is questioning the value of their insurance
