Good Morning and welcome to the Dig in Conference sponsored by Digital Insurance and to beautiful Boca Raton. I hope you all have had a chance to kind of walk around the resort and see some of the amenities here. I am Patty Harmon. I'm the Editor in Chief of Digital Insurance, and we have an exciting two days plan for you filled with speakers, sessions, workshops, round table discussions, and demonstrations. We're focusing on the areas that influence all of aspects of the insurance ecosystem with a specific emphasis on the customer service claims and data security and fraud. I'd also like to thank our sponsors. You saw their names on the screen as you walked in this morning, and an event of this scale requires the support, input, and participation of countless people to make it a success. And I thank all of you for the roles you have played in the creation and execution of Dig In.
(01:05):
Yesterday, we honored the women in insurance who are leading the industry in a number of different areas as part of our women and insurance leadership conference and awards dinner. These women are innovators and trailblazers and they are most definitely shaping the future of this industry. Our first keynote this morning takes a look at how technology is influencing the customer experience. Stephen Crewdson is the Senior Director of Insurance Intelligence at JD Power where he focuses on new customer acquisition, sales and marketing for the property and casualty industry. He has more than 10 years of experience at JD Power and over 20 years in marketing, research and consulting. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Step Crewdson.
Stephen J. Crewdson (01:54):
Welcome everyone. Thank you for joining us and welcome to the Dig in Conference. I think one thing that occurred to me a couple of weeks ago when thinking about being here today was if anybody's a client of ours, if you've met with me before through my role at JD Power, I really love to talk about insurance and if I get started, I can talk for hours and hours on end about insurance. My wife and family get really tired of hearing it, so I thought, what's going to be going on in the world that day when I'm talking about insurance? And here we are today. I think we're really the cool people. We get to be here today talking about digital channels, digital technologies, and how they interact with insurance. Well, the rest of the country today is really focused on this little debate happening tonight, and I think we're going to have a lot more fun today.
(02:39):
If you're anything like me, at least you're going to have a lot more fun today talking about insurance and talking about digital than talking about a debate that's going to happen tonight. So glad we're all here together to have a lot more fun than most of the country will Today I come to you from JD Power. The company started at a kitchen table in Southern California at James David Power's house. Those of us who worked for him got to know him as Dave. And Dave started his company because early in his career he had worked for a number of different organizations primarily in the auto industry where as he put it, one of his famous quotes that I really like to repeat from him was companies would torture the data until it confessed. And what he meant of course, was people in the organization knew what leadership wanted to hear, so they would work with the data and keep working with it until it told leadership what they wanted to hear, which of course early in his career really frustrated him.
(03:36):
But it also presented him an opportunity, a business opportunity to create a new organization that brought the true voice of the customer to leadership because he knew. And now here we are 56 years later, we've proven it over decades, how much better an organization is run when they are centered around the customer and they hear the genuine voice of the customer make decisions based on that. So what we've done for over 50 years now is, and if you've received one of our surveys in the past, you know what I'm about to say? We ask a lot of questions of consumers. And by doing so surveying millions of US consumers and consumers around the world every year, many, many questions about their experiences with different brands. We have a lot of data to speak to when it comes to a customer experience. We've been doing this now in the insurance space for 25 years.
(04:27):
So I'm going to use a little bit of history and just touch upon a little bit of our data. I'll kind of apologize upfront. Again, we're JD Power. We love our data. I'll have some slides here with quite a few numbers on 'em. I'll do my best to explain them in a time we have today, but I'll be around all throughout the conference and happy to talk with anybody about any questions you may have around some of the things we saw today or anything else you may have seen from JD Power. So let's get into it.
(04:55):
I'm going to focus today when I speak about insurance on one line of business. We of course cover many lines of business at JD Power. We do auto insurance, home insurance, renters, we do life insurance, annuities, health insurance. We have a number of different lines of business that we focus on. For today, I'm going to focus on personal lines, auto insurance, and for a couple reasons, I hear some yays in the audience. That's good. Come to think of it, that's the first time in a couple of years I've heard somebody say, yay about this industry. It's been a tough time. It's been a really tough time in auto insurance and that's why I chose auto insurance to talk about today. Even if we don't, everybody in the audience today doesn't work in auto insurance. We all have it, I hope, but one out of eight drivers don't.
(05:38):
So shame on you if you don't go get it today. But we all experience it as a consumer even if we don't work in that line of business. So I hope that whatever line of business you work in, you can draw some parallels from what we're learning from consumers and tie that back to your business. And in doing so, I'm going to focus on three themes, how digital is affecting shopping for again, auto insurance, how digital is affecting consumer trust and confidence in insurers. And we know that especially over the last couple of years with premiums going up so rapidly and auto insurance that consumer trust and confidence in insurance companies has waned a bit. So we'll talk about how digital can help with that and we'll close with how digital is impacting the claims experience, the ultimate moment of truth for an auto insurance customer and how the claims experience can be radically reshaped by digital channels and really the fact that we're just at the beginning of that process and there's a lot more to come with that within our industry.
(06:38):
So in terms of shopping, it's no surprise. You see here that premiums have been going up on the line here on this chart. You see the average across the us, the average rate at which premiums are increasing month by month and what you see in the bars is the rate at which consumers are shopping. In response to that. You see, there's definitely over the last couple of years an upward trend in premiums. We've all felt it in our own insurance premiums as consumers, and you can see there's a little bit of a lag, but consumers react pretty quickly to what insurers are doing. As premiums go up, more consumers are out shopping. About a year ago, we saw a little bit of a downturn in the not premiums themselves, but the rate at which they were increasing and shopping came down for a little bit.
(07:20):
And here we are in the first half of 2024 where shopping has reached an all-time record for auto insurance. The data here I'm showing runs through March, which was the highest single month we had ever seen as of March for auto auto insurance shopping last month in May, we exceeded that. So we'll have a report coming out in a couple of weeks showing the hard numbers around that. But a lot of us households are looking to save on their auto insurance. It's having a tangible impact on household budgets. These increases that we're seeing, what that's led to is not just the increase in shopping, but who is out shopping. When we look at the type of consumers that are out shopping for insurance, one way we evaluate them is we bucket them into what we're calling here, lifetime value of a customer. So high lifetime value.
(08:07):
And what I mean by that is looking at 10 to 12 characteristics of that customer in their household. Our data scientists say, how valuable should that customer and that household be to an auto insurer, homeowner's, insurer, et cetera in the future as a customer of that brand? And we bucket those consumers into high, medium and low value groups. And what you'll see here is that the high value group presents about twice as much opportunity to an insurer as the low value group. But unfortunately what's happened is the effect as an effect of these increasing premiums is that we're driving more of the low value consumers out into the market. That's unfortunate because of course we as insurers are going to be capturing more of that business. But it's also unfortunate that these households, if we think about really being customer centric, that they're struggling so much with paying their insurance premiums that they're being driven out to market to find a lower premium. That group of low CLV went up nine points in the last two years, nine percentage points. They were only a third of shoppers two years ago, and with rates going up, they're now 42% of shoppers that are out looking for auto insurance.
(09:17):
In our insurance shopping work, we ask again a lot of questions of consumers. That survey spans about a 45 minute survey experience for a respondent of ours. We get a lot of data around that recent shopping experience for auto, perhaps home and other lines of business when they're out shopping. One question we ask is what channels through which did you get a quote from the insurers? You got a quote from? What we saw this year, we just released these results recently, was that people are getting more quotes on average when they're shopping than they did a year ago, again, because they're trying harder than they were in the past to find a lower premium, it's becoming more difficult to find that lower premium as essentially now the entire industry is out taking rate. And we looked at what channel through which they're gathering those quotes.
(10:03):
And if you go back over this more five year trend, you can see there's been a growth. There was a growth in digital channel adoption for getting quotes for auto insurance, especially where that growth came from especially is within mobile app, the rate at which people are downloading an app from a brand they don't have a policy with today, building a profile on that app so they can go get a quote has doubled in the last five years. So whereas you can see the website whether through a desktop or laptop or through a mobile device, that's kind of plateaued. Where we're seeing growth within digital shopping has been within mobile app, which when we speak with insurers, they're kind of shocked at times like, you mean somebody downloaded my app? They don't have a policy with me. They did it just to get a quote.
(10:47):
And it's becoming a sizable portion of shopping. So when you think about your development around your apps, just bear in mind that about one out of eight quotes right now is being delivered through that app that consumers are downloading that app, using that app to get a quote from you and learn more about your policies. But if you look at the longer term trend, one of the key findings here is that digital channels have plateaued. We finally got to be the majority channel. Just over half of quotes are coming in through digital channels, and then the growth stopped. So what is it about digital channels right now? I mean, if we had more time to go into a lot of details, but I think that's one of the key points here is to keep in mind that yes, digital has grown quite a bit for quoting, but in the last three years it's really plateaued.
(11:32):
Another way we looked at quoting or insurance shopping through channels was we looked at how they're actually purchasing the policy and by different customer groups. This time, instead of looking at lifetime value, we looked at three different groups of customers, first time buyers. So think of those who are coming off their parents' policy, they're getting their own first policy, perhaps for other reasons, they're buying their first auto insurance policy. And you might expect that many of those are going to be younger folks or folks who might be more inclined to buy digitally. And that's what we're seeing that over half of those first time buyers are buying their auto insurance policy policy through a digital channel. The next two groups here for each of the years I think is a more interesting view of what's happening in this space.
(12:19):
I've been with power basically since the year 2000 and working in insurance ever since then. I remember hearing in 2000 being a newbie to the insurance world that in 10 years agents are going to be gone, digital's going to own the marketplace. Of course, here we are 25 years later. It hasn't quite happened yet, but there's been tremendous growth within digital. I also remember hearing from executives, senior executives, all the way to a CEO at very large insurers that we'll probably never sell online because the type of customers that are shopping online are not the kind of customers we want to win. They would say it's a monoline customer, a riskier customer, a less loyal customer.
(13:00):
We knew then that wasn't the case. We try to make that case to our clients and now we've got even, I mean the world's changed a lot. We have even better data to prove. Looking at these last two groups on this slide in 2024, the shopping experiences, when we look at those in the lighter blue bar in the middle for each year, those were folks who shopped and they switched insurers. So perhaps they went from insurer A to insurer B, they decided they switched to a new auto insurer. 42% of those people had bought their previous policy, bought their current policy through a digital channel. What's really telling is that 46% of people who shopped but loyal to their incumbent insurer had bought that previous policy through a digital channel. So these are loyal folks that you're winning through digital channels right now. It's not the thinking around, well, it's mono line, not loyal customer. They'll switch the next time they can save $10 a month. No, you you're acquiring loyal customers through the digital channel.
(14:08):
When we look at then how customers are buying, we looked a minute ago at quoting how they're buying based on their CLV. One area that digital channels are showing some opportunity for improvement is acquiring that higher lifetime value customer. So while the growth has really been around acquiring a more loyal customer, there's other things around an insurance customer that make them a higher lifetime value customer. And right now, the digital channel, about 16% of the policies that you're winning through digital in auto insurance are high value customers, whereas agents are capturing about a quarter of their business or high lifetime value customers. Again, there's a lot of reasons behind that outside of the scope of today's talk, but happy to talk with anybody afterwards around some of the more details around that. One big driver of how valuable a customer is to a personal lines p and c carrier is their degree that which they bundle all their policies with their auto policy and digital has in the last couple of years.
(15:08):
This is the most recent data we have caught up with call centers in terms of selling to bundled customers. Half of the customers that are being acquired through a digital channel, just like with a call center, are bundling multiple policies with their home policy or with their auto policy. But despite that, we still see there's a lot of room for digital to improve agents. Almost 70% of the policies selling the auto policies they're selling have another policy attached to it. So more valuable in general, more sticky customer. Another area where digital channels have some room to catch up is the efficiency of the channel. If we look here at the left, we're looking at really a quote rate. So of all the consumers who are out shopping, who could get a quote from you, what percentage are doing so and what percentage are doing it through each channel?
(15:57):
And when I say you, I'm talking about the industry average insurer here. So not in the individual insurer, but the average insurer. You can see here that 6.1% are getting a quote through an agent, about 5% through a call center, quite a few quotes that were being delivered through digital channels, a lot of quoting activity happening in digital channels. Then if we move to the right, we're looking now at, well, where do they buy the policy? What's the close rate for every a hundred quotes that channel provides? How many are being won through that channel? And that's where the digital channel shows a lot of opportunity to improve that agents are winning almost 40% of the quotes they're presenting. Digital channels are not yet even halfway there. They're below 20% close rate, whether it's through an app, through a website or et cetera. So which means at the end, about half of policies are being won through agents, not because the customer is coming to them first, but because those channels are better able to close the sale when they get the opportunity to pitch the sale.
(16:56):
So again, not too many details today around this, but I do want to point out that that's an area where digital does have an opportunity to improve. The customer wants to come to you, they want to come to you through a digital channel. They want to get the quote they want to bind when they bind the policy through digital. We've got years and years of data to prove. They want you to service them through that digital channel. They want to have a claim through that digital channel. The appetite is there. There's no doubt about that anymore. It's just we have to work on how we improve the efficiency of those channels for consumers. So to round it out where JD Power, I don't think we've ever had a presentation. Maybe Dave in 1968 might've had one, but we've never had a presentation where we don't talk about customer satisfaction.
(17:41):
And the reason for that is in our 56 years, we've not just felt it in our bones, but we've done all the analyses in this space. We've hired actuaries, we've looked into the NAIC statements, we've done the hard math, we've proven a more satisfied customer is a more loyal customer, a less price sensitive customer, an insurer who has more high satisfaction customers, grows faster, is more profitable, has a lower cost of acquisition, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. In terms of every financial metric we can look at of a p and c insurer, when they have higher satisfaction with their customers, their financial metrics are all stronger. So just want to present to you today how digital channels are doing with that purchase experience when people are out shopping for auto insurance. The digital channel again, has a bit of room there to catch up to what the agents are doing today.
(18:34):
And I think there's a lot of opportunity here that digital channels, if I'm here talking about this in three years, four years, five years, and this hasn't flipped where digital channels are far exceeding the agency channel, obviously I'll be pretty disappointed, but I think the industry should be disappointed. Agents and call centers are leaving a lot of opportunities on the table that digital can step in right now and really blow away the customer in terms of a shopping experience. I'll get into a couple of details here in a couple slides, but I think don't look at this and say, well, the agent is a more personal transaction. They're a local person. Maybe digital can't catch up. Now, even though the agent channel just by nature has a lot of advantages built into it, they're leaving a lot of opportunity on the table and digital can really close that gap.
(19:25):
And this is one of the ways we looked at what is the gap digital can close. We do a study where we ask 11,000 US consumers every year to do one of two things. They either do a fairly simple service transaction with their current auto insurer or they go out and get a quote from a different auto insurer than the one they have today. And they do that all through digital channels. So we're asking them, go use the app, go use a website, et cetera. We steer them to basically do a mass UX testing across 11,000 people. And what we found is that within shopping, there's about 12 different KPIs, key performance indicators that tell us in general how satisfied that customer is going to be with their digital shopping experience. And today, only 4%, one out of 25 shopping experiences that these people went through meet all the criteria of providing a great experience.
(20:20):
Some examples of that, and think about this, only 72% are meeting the foundational expectations of a digital shopping experience. The site or the app looks good, it's well organized. There's a quick quoting process that's just foundational stuff that one out of four customers are saying, even that didn't happen. Only half are saying things are findable through a digital channel. Can they find the needed information? Can they find features or tools, the links and buttons they need? And only 4%, as I mentioned are saying they're finding the valuable information that their information for their quote, the prefill was done and done accurately. Did it make it easy to understand their policy? Did they understand which discount supply, et cetera. Again, great opportunity here to improve that digital experience and really close that gap around efficiency and satisfaction with the more personal agent and call center channels.
(21:11):
So what's next for shopping? As we saw, there's been some stalled growth in quoting through digital channels, which means we really need to expand the relevance to more consumers, particularly those who are bundlers and higher CLV customers. The digital sales channel is also going to need to improve efficiency. We looked at that. We're getting a lot of quotes out through digital channels. Customers want to come to us through digital channels, but they're not as apt to buy through that digital channel. We need to close that gap. The third point here, we really, this is if there's one place where you could really catch up and surpass the call center and the agent channels is finding a creative way to explain the policy and what it means to a consumer across our work. That's the number one driver of satisfaction, is the degree to which they understand their policy and what it covers.
(21:58):
And only about half of US auto insurance customers say that their insurer has done that for them. Think about the value of an agent. The agent is there to do that. Agents just aren't doing it well enough today. So if a digital channel, any carrier out there today that says, what can I do to make a better digital experience? Find a creative way to explain that policy to a customer, you're going to just blow away out your competition, blow away the other channels out there. And lastly, when you think of digital, digital goes beyond sales and service channels. So leverage the data that you have and the analytics you have to purchase better leads, buy the most effective media and of course to more accurately priced to book a business that you have. So I'm going to spend a couple minutes here on driving confidence and trust with insurers through digital channels.
(22:43):
And to do so, I'm going to focus on UBI because UBI is quickly becoming one of the primary ways that consumers are interacting with their auto insurer through digital channels. And in this hard market that we're in with rates going up so quickly, it's a big driver of consumer trust and confidence in their insurer that their insurance is being priced based on how they drive as an individual, not based on some archaic pricing algorithm that existed in the past. And what you see here is that back in 2016, only a third of auto insurance customers said their insurer was offering UBI. Today that's around 60% among new buyers of auto insurance and those who are switching auto insurance, one out of four is buying a UBI based policy and the overall penetration of UBI has reached 17%. It's more than doubled in the last eight years.
(23:39):
Customers who have a UBI based policy definitely feel more confidence in their insurer. They're far more satisfied with their insurer overall and across all the different elements of the experience that we evaluate with auto insurance. So when you have that UBI based policy, the customer buys it, which they're doing a lot more of now than they have even in the recent past. You end up with a more satisfied, more loyal customer that trusts you more. When we look at do they view the information that you're sharing around their driving experiences and the way you're rating them? Many do and those that do are more satisfied. One area for improvement of course is that customers aren't quite always confident that you're accurately reflecting their driving. Think about that hard breaking experience where I had to stop where that kid was going to get run over who was chasing the ball out in the street, right? You hear that example all the time that 16% of consumers is not very satisfied with UBI, but they're interacting a lot with their insurer through UBI still, those who feel like the information that you're gathering on their driving is accurate, that 910 score would win the JD Power trophy in pretty much any study anywhere in the world. That's a world-class experience when you're using digital channels to communicate with a customer around their driving through UBI. That's again, world-class experience.
(24:57):
And lastly, on trust and confidence, we built in auto insurance a four factor model of what really drives customer confidence and trust with their insurer. And I think in all four of these factors on the left, digital has opportunity to improve and really surpass what we're seeing with call centers and what we're seeing with agents and where are we today on the right. You can see very quickly here, the trust isn't there yet. So consumers have told us they want to buy. They're getting those quotes through digital channels. They want to get service to those digital channels when they get the service. And I again, focus on UBI because that's really where the growth has been in terms of digital service lately and digital interaction with a customer. When they get that there are a far more satisfied customer that can be a world-class experience, but that's not broad enough yet.
(25:47):
It's not happening with enough consumers yet. So overall the trust is a bit lower when they're purchasing and being serviced through a digital channel than through an offline channel. So what's up next for digital and the customer? In terms of customer confidence and trust, we really need to improve customer perceptions around digital channel's ability to fulfill service expectations. Right now, customers are really taking the really simple transactions to digital channels. They're taking the billing payments, the downloading an insurance card, but as I talked about, digital channels have the opportunity here to really surpass the rest of the ecosystem in terms of explaining the policy, delivering those higher value experiences that customers need. And that's where we would like to see, and obviously consumers want to see digital grow in the future, providing those better explanations around the policy. I talked about that in the last section.
(26:40):
You're going to hear that a lot from us in the future. At JD Power for 20 years, that's been the leading driver of customer satisfaction is do they understand their policy and what it covers? And the industry just hasn't made any movement on that. It's around half and it's been around half of customers say they understand it and it really hasn't changed over the years. And lastly, continued growth of UBI is going to raise customer expectations around digital service channels. I posed a hypothetical question here from a customer. My app can tell me how I can drive better. It knows that much about me. Why can't it fulfill a simple service expectation? You're going to hear that more and more from your customers in auto insurance that if you can have an app that's so sophisticated, it can know how I drive, tell me how to drive better, save me on my auto insurance by following those recommendations.
(27:25):
Why can't I download an insurance ID card? Why can't I understand why my bill went up? Those expectations are vising very quickly in digital channels. So to wrap up, I want to spend a few minutes on how digital is affecting the claims process. I'm going to do that through the first notice of loss and the estimation process. That's where we're seeing really the key differences with consumers around their digital claims experiences. One question we ask of consumers is, how would you like prefer to have your claim handled when you are in a collision, when your auto policy is triggered and you have to file that auto claim? And right now around a quarter of consumers say that they have a stronger preference to file that claim and handle that claim online. Almost half are saying, I'm kind of indifferent. I would go through online or an offline channel.
(28:11):
And over on the far left here, about 40%, almost 40% are saying I have a stronger preference to deal with a live person. But look at the satisfaction scores, those that say, I really want to go digital, that's an eight 90 score. Again, world-class score, those who are indifferent, same score this year and comparing results to the prior year. The gap has really grown here from prior years where that digitally oriented customer wasn't quite as satisfied as those who were dealing with offline channels, both a mix of online and offline channels. But they've caught up this year, and I say this year with the 23 data, because we haven't published our 24 study yet. That will come out in October for first notice of loss, massive growth in reporting losses through digital channels. But the really key point here is what's the expectation of a customer when the first notice of loss is and when the customer tells you about their loss through a digital channel, the expectation is this will be a very quick, easy process compared to dealing with people.
(29:14):
That's just, we have to live with it. That's the expectation that digital channel is set. One thing that we're seeing digital channels really start to separate from other ways of filing a claim and interacting with your insurer during a claim is to lay out what's going to happen next, what's going to happen throughout the life cycle of this claim, and really explaining the entire process to a customer. Digital channels are just set up perfectly to do that. Many insurers are leveraging that in a way that has led to really steep increases in customer satisfaction when they see, this is the process that my claim is going to go through. Think of it, we don't have, hopefully we don't have auto collisions that often. We're not as consumers experts on auto claims. We don't know what to expect. It's a very tense time for us. And when the customer comes in through a digital channel and says, I had a loss, here's what happened, and the carrier says, well, here's what's going to happen next, and here's the whole map to getting you to the end of the claim, how to reach out to us, how we're going to reach out to you.
(30:14):
That leads to a much more satisfying experience and the ways that's more satisfying when a claim is handled digitally. Shorter cycle time. So a week is shaved off of the time from reporting the loss to having the claim finalized. The options for status updates. Customers want to get status updates when they're interacting digitally. They're more far more likely to tell us at JD Power that they've had options about how to communicate with their insurer on the right. I want to focus on just the top bar mostly. I mentioned that when a customer comes through a digital channel, they have a higher expectation of this will be easy, this will be quick, this will be seamless. Right now, they're telling us that's really not the case when they submit photos through a digital channel. So my car was in the collision, here's photos of the damage, A great number of them, 34% are saying, I still had to go talk to a person.
(31:11):
I had to go get an estimate done in person after submitting those. And that has a steep negative effect on satisfaction. So the expectation was set, I've given you the photos, you'll now handle the claim. The next day I get a call or an email saying, you need to bring the car in. That's by far a very suboptimal experience for a customer. So as we deliver more claims experiences through digital channels, just keep in mind that when we do so, we're setting a higher expectation of the service we're going to provide. And when we fail to meet it, we end up with a less satisfied customer. Lastly, one thing that digital channels can do that no other channel can do is lay out the estimation. So for a simple few thousand dollars damage on the left there, that's an eight page document. Here's all the things that are going to happen to your car, all the repairs, all the costs.
(32:00):
Here's an example from Liberty. Laying that out on one screen and in a way that's more easy to digest for a customer. The old way of, here's eight pages. Go find your way through it. See what's happening to your car. A digital channel in an app here, as one example, can lay that out really simply for a customer to understand. So what's coming next? Customers demand better experiences through the digital channel. We've seen that. I've given the example of submitting photos leading to an offline experience. Customers don't want that. Lastly, fill that human element gap through digital channels. Right now, digital channels are not able to deliver that personal empathy that people need during a claims process. And the explanations of what's going to happen during the claim can really help with furthering that digital experience. So with that, I've run out of time, but I'm going to be here all of today, all of tomorrow, and happy to speak with any of you about what we're seeing with the customer in digital. So thank you for your time.
