According to the results from the latest myintroducer.com poll, in partnership with Assurant Intermediary- the general insurance specialists, 84% of advisers say their clients are influenced by price rather than quality of cover when discussing buildings and contents insurance.
A total of 3,309 intermediaries answered the question:
Are your clients influenced by price or quality of cover when you're discussing buildings & contents insurance?
The results were:
- Price: 84.33%
- Cover: 7.46%
- Other: 8.21%
Kevin Paterson, Sales and Marketing Director of Assurant Intermediary, said:
"It is no surprise that price comes out on top in this age of austerity.
"However, I think advisers are underselling themselves because whilst price is a driver, I suspect they are advising their clients on the cover afforded by the policy at the same time and that is the real value of brokers utilising general insurance as a valuable income stream."
