Industry Context

Why Insurance Research Drives Competitive Advantage

In insurance, customer experience determines whether policyholders renew or shop. Claims handling, agent relationships, product value, and brand perception all influence retention and growth. Research provides the evidence-based understanding of customer and agent needs that separates industry leaders from followers.

Our Capabilities

Insurance Research Capabilities

We bring deep expertise in insurance market research, understanding the unique dynamics of carrier-agent relationships, the complexity of insurance products, and the critical importance of the claims experience.

Claims Experience Research

Measuring the claims experience from first notice of loss through settlement and repair. Claims are the moment of truth for insurance companies, and our research captures policyholder satisfaction, communication effectiveness, adjuster performance, repair quality, and the emotional dimensions of the claims journey that drive loyalty or churn.

Product Design & Testing

Research that supports insurance product development including concept testing, feature prioritization, pricing sensitivity, and product positioning. We help carriers design products that meet customer needs while maintaining profitability. Our research covers auto, home, life, health, and commercial lines.

Agent & Distribution Research

Understanding the agent experience, distribution channel dynamics, and the factors that influence agent loyalty and production. We conduct agent satisfaction surveys, producer panel research, distribution strategy studies, and competitive intelligence among independent agents and exclusive channels.

Policyholder Satisfaction

Comprehensive satisfaction measurement for insurance policyholders across lines of business. We design programs that measure satisfaction with policy service, billing, communication, value perception, and overall relationship quality. Our research identifies the drivers of retention and the gaps that create churn risk.

Advertising & Brand Research

Evaluating insurance advertising effectiveness and brand health in a highly competitive marketing environment. We measure ad recall, brand awareness, consideration, and the impact of advertising on quote intent. Our research helps carriers optimize marketing spend in a category where brand building directly drives quote volume.

Risk Perception & Behavior

Studying how consumers perceive risk, make coverage decisions, and respond to catastrophic events. We research insurance literacy, coverage adequacy, risk tolerance, and the behavioral factors that influence insurance purchase, renewal, and lapse. This research informs product design, pricing, and communication strategy.

Moment of Truth

Claims Research That Protects Retention

The claims experience is the defining moment in the insurer-policyholder relationship. A positive claims experience drives loyalty, referrals, and cross-sell opportunity. A negative experience drives shopping, complaints, and negative reviews. Our claims research identifies exactly where the experience exceeds or falls short of expectations.

Our bilingual capabilities enable claims research with Spanish-speaking policyholders whose experience may differ due to language barriers in claims communication and settlement processes.
