The business issue that triggered the study.
A health insurance provider faced increasing churn and declining renewal rates. While pricing was assumed to be the primary factor, there was limited understanding of customer experience across the policy lifecycle.
The constraints and decision complexity behind the brief.
- Insurance decisions involve low engagement but high impact moments (e.g., claims)
- Customer dissatisfaction often emerges late in the journey
- Lack of structured, large-scale feedback linking experience to retention
How the research program was designed and executed.
- An enterprise grade quantitative program was executed over 2 weeks
- Collected 2500 responses across diverse demographics
- Measured experience across key touchpoints: onboarding, claims, support, network access
- Conducted importance vs satisfaction analysis to identify critical gaps
- Segmented by plan type, income level, and age group
What changed once the findings were made actionable.
- Identified experience gaps with highest impact on churn
- Shifted focus from pricing to service experience optimization
- Enabled targeted improvements in claims and customer support processes
