Most insurers will lose 18 – 24 months
…off transformation roadmaps if they want to keep up

Widening Gap likely for most
Insurers
• Already laggards
• Focus on ‘keeping the lights on’
• Curtailment of ‘discretionary spend’
• Failure to re-set strategically
• All resulting in increased
vulnerability to competitors and new
entrants

BUT It’s not just about changing customer behaviours
1. Tech not working
- Tech built for face-to-face doesn’t work for virtual – Not “Omni”
- Not agile – takes too long to change
2. No digital presence
- Advisors have no personal digital presence to backup verbal discussions
- They come across as out of touch in a digital world
3. Skills gaps
- How are advisors going to pick up the news skills needed?
The weaknesses of Advisory models during Covid-19 have become
clear

TDI POV: Agency alarm bells are
ringing as consumer adoption of digital
accelerates beyond Tipping Point
Insurers, and their agents, need to
urgently transform from ‘traditional
sales’ to an ‘OMNI advisor’ model - not
only to stay relevant, but also to
generate significant growth in the years
ahead

TODAY FUTURE
Over the next 2-3 years, the proportion of agents operating with digital tools
(digitally-enabled agents) is expected to increase from a significant minority to the
substantial majority, whilst at the same time the proportion of ‘next generation’

• Omni – virtual branches and physical “stores”
• “A glance at the underlying numbers is telling. While digital-only banks have undoubtedly
made a significant mark on the industry, customers are hesitant about taking an ‘all or
nothing’ approach.”
• ”…..meaning that a multi-channel model will be the best way forward. Openbank has
achieved this by creating digital branches, each served by a pod of 10-15 customer
assistants. On their app, customers are assigned a digital branch, staffed by familiar faces
with whom they have ongoing relationships, just as if they had walked into their local high
street branch.”

• Small sales team that relies on artificial
intelligence to become ultra-efficient, while
leveraging digital channels to amass a customer
base that traditional insurers can’t otherwise
reach
• 50 million customers – 100 million registered
users
• Low-ticket products, on average $100, for one-
year policies, sold to a younger generation of first-
time insurance buyers
• “Concierge” service through WeChat
• 200 sales people – average 5,000 customers per
sales person

The OMNI Advisor – Future of Agency
Mark Stephen Wallis, Consultant |Executive Coach & Strategic Partner
Perspectives from the Field on OMNI Advisor Agency Distribution
• Digital tools offer tremendous potential for Agency / Face-to-Face Distribution
• Technology has favorably impacted every step in the Sales Process
• Using Technology will improve Advisor Productivity
• Non-face-to-face technology is driving face-to-face improvements
• Companies must expect improved results when investing in Technology
• Increased Advisor Activity and Productivity
• An improved Customer journey (fewer dropped calls)
• Challenges to OMNI Advisor evolution include:
• No compelling reason to change (until now with Covid)
• Lack of a clear development path (What needs to be done? Who’s driving?)
• Undeveloped Sales Habits
• A legacy compensation structure

The OMNI Advisor – Future of Agency
Mark Stephen Wallis, Consultant |Executive Coach & Strategic Partner MSW
Comments on Potential OMNI Advisor Distribution Models of the Future
• Face-to-Face and Direct Channels can (and should) co-exist
• Multi-channel / Multi-line Collaboration will provide even more opportunity
• Hybrid Distribution Models (today)
• Driven by the Consumer “uberization” of the Industry
• Consumer is Agnostic
• A return of the General Agency or Corporate Agency Model
• Technical Tools Available (leveraging AI)
• Data (lake) mining resources, information gathering, CX tracking
• Social Media / Micro-influencing
• Distribution Compensation
• Legacy model reflects payment for labor-intensive Prospecting
• “Advisor” vs. “Salesperson” - A Salary-based + Incentive Advisor Model
• Incentive compensation for leads converted, account servicing, or new Customers
• Cost – sharing of marketing expense (Advisor/Corporate)
