What does “protection” mean to you?
Insurance jargon or straight talking…
If you were asked about the word “protection”, would you associate it with life and critical illness cover, protecting your income, perhaps a suit of armour or 5 iron cunningly concealed under the bed?
To advisers, insurance providers, and those in the industry, the meaning of the word “protection” is clear. But what does it mean to you; the customer?
The results
According to a survey by leading provider Legal and General, as few as one in ten (9%) think of life and critical illness cover when hearing the word “protection”.
40% instead think of protective clothing or protection against physical harm, with nearly 20% associating it with nothing at all.
Experts are calling on intermediaries to bridge the gap and educate customers on what protection means. They are perfectly placed to talk to clients about the benefits and help them understand terminology and jargon.
