OVERVIEW:

A common perception about insurance in most African countries is that carriers generally fail to honor policy contracts when insured losses occur, and in most cases resort to fine prints embedded in these insurance contracts to either deny claims or substantially reduce claim payments. Such is the refrain heard not only among insurance policyholders and customers but with alarming regularity from the general public, thus resulting in the adverse and low penetration rate of insurance products and services in most African countries.

Though several factors can be readily identified as drivers of this perception including the lack of adequate understanding of the insurance contract, its terms and conditions, limitations, coverages, exclusions and deductibles including the legal and regulatory framework in various countries; the focus of this article is how the role of insurance marketing and sales, including its technological, regulatory and management strategies, can be utilized as an effective educational vehicle in changing not only the above perception but making the claims process more transparent and beneficial to the policyholders.

There is thus a direct corollary between the marketing of insurance, the technical knowledge of the agent, the types of coverages and policies available and whether a claim is denied or underpaid in the event of an insured loss.

THE SIERRA LEONE CASE STUDY:

For decades the marketing of insurance products and services in Sierra Leone has hinged primarily on the “direct agency” method, wherein companies employed agents earning salaries or as independent contractors being paid commissions on sales to merely sell and market their products. The marketing of life insurance products, property and liability policies such as fire, marine, accident and allied policies were always mostly marketed by these company agents.

For example, while I was employed at the National Insurance Company (NIC) 1981-1985, the company’s sales cadre was its marketing officers who sometimes with little or no technical knowledge of the intricacies of risk management and the insurance products coverages merely sold policies as commodities. The unpleasant task most often in advising policyholders that their claims were not covered under the terms of the insurance contract generally was our responsibility in the claims department. By then, it had become too late to remedy as the right coverage was not either sold to the policyholder by the agents or alternative umbrella policies that could have covered whatever gaps existed in the sold policy were not made available or explained to the policyholder. Mostly issues of lack of coverage, adequacy of coverage for the losses claimed resulted in denial or underpayment of claims.

The sales function of these agents revolved mainly around the marketing of products or policies with little or no product differentiation or creativity in their design and marketing to meet the contemporary risks confronting a country such as Sierra Leone, emerging from a decade long civil war and longing for creative policies to address her developmental aspirations.

For example, the old “Kebbay” insurance syndrome, practiced in Sierra Leone where an insurance company became so notorious in the practice of collection of motor premiums from customers without any concomitant claims payout when accidents occurred. Such a practice as prevalent in the Sierra Leone Insurance marketplace of the 1970’s through 1990’s most be prevented from rearing its ugly head in today’s marketplace.

Marketing as defined by the American Marketing Association (AMA), is the performance of business activities that direct the flow of goods and services from the producer to the ultimate consumer. Property, casualty and liability insurance marketing however not only includes the traditional marketing sales function but incorporates services such as customer needs analysis, market segmentation, product development and distribution that must be incorporated into a successful marketing mix.

INSURANCE MARKETING:

A fundamental principle of insurance marketing dictates that insurance products and policies must be marketed and sold primarily on the basis of the need for security and the ability of the insurance product and policy to provide adequate financial security from fortuitous losses. Moreover, new sources of production of business that includes new ways of selling old traditional insurance policies and products, in conjunction with the marketing of new services, such as risk management, loss control and loss adjustment services should be pursued by insurance companies.

However, in some lines of insurance, a governmental-legal or regulatory compulsion to insure is the driving factor. For example, purchase of automobile liability insurance is required by law in most jurisdictions the world over. The recently advocated proposed requirement of a title insurance policy in real estate transactions in Sierra Leone and a national health insurance or workers compensation insurance policy are all examples of such a legal mandatory requirement.

To a large extent these have and continue to be the principles and services absent in the marketing mix of insurance products in Sierra Leone, thus resulting in recent spectacular failures in the introduction of new products and or failures in the market penetration of various new diverse policies into the insurance marketplace. As an example, the failure of various insurance companies including the spectacular failure of the country’s largest insurance company, the National Insurance Company (NIC) to effectively introduce and market a national health insurance policy (NICARE) since 2004 is a case study of a monumental marketing failure requiring analysis in a future article.
