Who is the Customer?

Customer Service, Customer Care, Customer Experience.

We all talk about these topics on a regular basis.  So answering the question of “Who is the Customer?” should be easy, right?

The obvious answer would be an insured.  A policy holder.

Alright, I’ll give you that.

But Claims folks deal with a number of different people on any given claim.  Is the insured the only person that is our customer?

In this episode of The Insurance Nerdery, I challenge you Claims Pros. Because you know me, I don’t want to stop at the easy answer.

Let’s level up our Claims Customer Experience!
