Summary of our successful case of an insurance company:

Industry:

Insurance sector of Financial Services

Background of client:

One of the leading insurance companies in the world, their Hong Kong branch was founded over 125 years ago.


Business Challenges:

Conventional insurance sales agents focus on the warm market, which can shorten the sales cycle and increase the closing rate. However, for most agents, the warm market does not last long; once they use up that resource, they can only turn to the cold market, and their income drops drastically. Many agents even have to leave their job because they lack effective ways to tackle the cold market.

Challenge Statement of the Transformation Project:

How to create unlimited high-trusted prospective customers through an innovative social sales model


Types of Transformations: 

Sales Model transformation and Digital transformation

Duration of Project:

12 months


Strategies for Transforming Business & Resolving Challenges

We innovated a high-speed, large-volume, low-risk social sales model to replace traditional face-to-face cold calling. That helped the sales agents to empathize better with their prospects in the cold market and hence, build better bonding with them with less time.

Key Performance Indicator(s) of the Project:
  • Personal influencing power on social media channels
  • Closing rate
Breakthrough Business Results

The personal influencing power of the involved agents rose to 90%, and their closing rate in the cold market shot up to 124%.
