Paul Avis, Natalie Summerson and Bill Eddolls on improving customer experience with underwriting technology - MAF182 This week, I'm welcoming back Paul Avis to the show for the fifth time along with his colleagues Natalie Summerson and Bill Eddolls. We talk about how technology has transformed the once lengthy and complex underwriting process into something more customer friendly. It's a deep dive into the world of financial services and protection insurance. Welcome to episode 182 of the Marketing and Finance Podcast. We chat about:  How the underwriting process has changed over the years, from simple in the 1980s to complex in the 2000s The three main reasons customers drop out of applying for protection insurance Fixing the frustrations of long waits for General Practitioners Reports Cutting back on questions to make shorter, more understandable applications forms Pints and glasses not "units" - Talking the customer's language Putting the customer at the heart of the journey, not the Actuary  Who are Paul, Natalie and Bill?
