“The broker is needed to make the sale. They push you (to buy) because they
will make the commission.”
“Life insurance companies want to sell you more than what you
need.”
“First place I would go to is Google.”
“What are you getting? What are you really covered for? What are your options? No one tells you.”
“I would go on the internet and research companies through forums.”
The Trend is to Online• Consumers are looking online to buy insurance:• 250,000 relevant Google searches every month in Canada• 2.6m relevant Google searches every month in the US
• Opportunities:• Growth• Better customer experience• Low expenses = better price / higher profits

Market research

“Almost half of participants found the value proposition [to buy directly online] very appealing (rating of 8 or more out of 10); these results are encouraging.
Years ago, when evaluating consumer interest in the ING Direct value proposition, our goal was to find interest in only half as many target group members (who we defined as innovators).”
