New Features of Salesforce Financial Services Cloud – Empowering Insurance Firms to Serve Better

The insurance sector is undergoing a sea change – companies in this critical industry are under immense pressure to achieve high levels of affordable growth, deliver hyper-personalized customer experiences at scale, maximize agent productivity and come up with new, innovative models for their businesses. While leaders of insurance firms across the world are pushing for wholesome transformation to succeed on a volatile, fast-changing business landscape, many of these organizations are still facing serious problems posed by outdated processes and legacy systems; the problems are exacerbated by the absence of comprehensive, well-defined digital strategy and the lack of skilled personnel to implement them.

The inability of insurance organizations to revamp their core activities is having a profound impact on their productivity (and revenues). Many insurers find themselves unable to implement a robust ‘digital first’ business model and enhance collaboration between siloed business units, leading to loss of customers to new-age, more agile competitors such as fintech firms.

Against this backdrop, how can insurance companies ensure their clients stay with them? What does it take to deliver excellent customer service and win the trust of policyholders? Insurers must utilize cutting-edge technologies with high efficacy to create enhanced value for their clientele and offer solutions fully-tailored to the specific requirements of each customer.

One of the most widely used technological solutions in the insurance world is Salesforce Financial Services Cloud (Salesforce FSC). This powerful, user-friendly

solution has recently acquired new capabilities that will enable insurers to provide better services to their customers and boost their revenues. Let’s dive into these novel additions to Salesforce FSC and understand how they facilitate the success of your insurance business.

New Features of Salesforce FSC that Enable Insurers to Deliver Better Services to Customers

You can have a 360-degree view of all developments that can impact a customer’s relationship with your firm such as changes in household relationships, purchase of new policies, claims made, coverage provided, key life events, major business achievements and so on. The console empowers your reps and agents to access all this data anytime, anywhere, on any connected device, enabling them to provide first-rate services to your clients and deliver perfectly-customized solutions to meet the needs of each customer very effectively.
