The insurance industry today is in the throes of a digital disruption. Customers demand exceptional experiences—and they will do business only with companies that offer them. That means companies large and small need to pivot fast and rethink how they’re connecting with their customers at every touchpoint. They need to make digital investments that enable first-rate customer experiences.
Meet Cumulus Insurance
Consider Cumulus Insurance, a nationwide insurance company that’s struggling to efficiently serve high-net-worth customers like Rachel Adams.
Rachel is unhappy because she recently filed an online claim three times before it was finally submitted. Each time she tried to file her claim and it wasn't submitted, she reached out to a Cumulus service rep to get help. And each time, she had a frustrating and fragmented experience. Every time she talked to a new rep, she had to explain her problem from scratch. None of the reps had up-to-date information about her conversations with previous service reps, nor did they have a full picture of her as a customer. They had no idea she held multiple policies with the company.
Rachel expressed her unhappiness to Zeynep Aksoy, a Cumulus sales agent. It was around the same time that Zeynep came across Salesforce’s Insurance Agent Console, a powerful industry-focused CRM platform that helps insurance companies better connect with and serve their customers.
