We are pleased to share our recent advancements in creating behavioral profiles that provide valuable insights into the probability of policy lapse. Our work is helping carriers take proactive steps to retain policyholders, reduce lapse rates, and improve overall customer satisfaction.

Understanding the Importance of Lapse Rates

Lapse rates are a crucial metric for insurance carriers, directly impacting their financial stability and operational efficiency. High lapse rates can lead to significant financial losses and increased operational costs. Consider these statistics:

These figures highlight the importance of managing lapse rates effectively to ensure long-term financial health and customer loyalty.


How Satori's Behavioral Profiles and Engage App Can Help Carriers

Our models use a diverse set of data signals to create over 400 detailed behavioral profiles for individuals applying for term and life insurance policies. By analyzing factors such as applicant demographics, application patterns, payment histories, macroeconomic signals, engagement levels, our behavioral profiles provide a hyper personalized view. This enables us to identify trends and predict potential lapses before they occur. This approach offers several benefits:

1. Proactive Retention Strategies

  • Early Intervention: Carriers can identify policyholders who are at high risk of lapsing early in their policy term. This allows carriers to engage with these individuals proactively, offering personalized incentives or interventions to retain them.
  • Targeted Communication: Tailored messaging can be created to address specific concerns or behaviors that are indicative of a potential lapse, making the outreach more effective.

2. Improved Customer Experience

  • Personalized Engagement: Understanding the behaviors and preferences of policyholders enables carriers to offer personalized solutions and services, improving customer satisfaction and loyalty.
  • Enhanced Support: Carriers can provide more timely and relevant support to high-risk policyholders, addressing their needs before they decide to lapse.

3. Data-Driven Decision Making

  • Insightful Analytics: Behavioral profiles provide carriers with deep insights into the factors driving lapses, allowing for data-driven decision-making in policy design, marketing, and customer service.
  • Continuous Improvement: Carriers can continuously refine their strategies based on the feedback and data from behavioral profiles, leading to ongoing improvements in retention efforts.

4. Increased Lifetime Value of Policyholders

  • Cross-Selling Opportunities: Understanding policyholder behaviors and preferences allows carriers to identify opportunities for cross-selling additional products and services, increasing the lifetime value of each customer.
  • Customer Lifetime Value (CLV): Higher retention rates directly correlate with increased customer lifetime value, contributing to the overall profitability of the carrier.

Providing a carrier with behavioral profiles complemented by an engagement app like Satori Engage, further enhances the carrier’s ability to engage with their policyholders:
