There are a range of challenges in the emerging, mass, and middle markets and we have learnt several big lessons in addressing them 1.1 Competitors are non-traditional and everyone needs to adapt Pass Child Born Child Grows away up 2.2 A brand must be a member of the community Child attends Retire Primary school 3.3 Highly relevant, omni-channel distribution Child and engagement Becom e grand Attends high parents school 4.4 Advanced analytics Loved After one school 5.5 Provide the most important products and passes away training services – not necessarily the most profitable Make home First job 6.6 Truly customer-centric strategy improv ements 7.7 Credit, savings, investment, and risk needs Purchas e house Change jobs or flat and products are interchangeable Get Move in w partn/ married out of Get en- home 8.8 It will soon be extremely difficult to be a gaged mono-line player
To provide access to inclusive insurance, we have found physical presence to be essential Hollard’s Physical Presence: Covision Branches (3) HAD Retail Branches (180); Containers (10) Head Office Arcadia Head Office Owl Regional Branches (21) Boxer Mini-branches (36) Excludes the significant distribution infrastructure of our partners
We work hard to be part of the communities we serve

Insurance partnerships are extremely difficult to get right – we have learnt that there are several critical success factors High brand affinity which will Partner’s target customer stretch to insurance Product take-up propensity & Appropriate sales method and proposition channel A Win-Win-Win situation and Partner alignment and resourcing nothing less Shared values and vision Measurements of success
The Low-Cost Agency Model channel is challenging, but offers specific benefits for both the customer and the JV Build trust Trust is a significant enabler to insurance sales. Face to face can be used to build a relationship and ultimately trust Tangibility Proving physical presence to a customer mitigates the fear of insurance’s inherent “promise to pay when it’s needed” concept Customer convenience Customers don’t need to travel to a FS branch, but instead the agency model allows for customers to be engaged where they are Customer education Face to face interactions can be used to ensure understanding and educate customer about insurance concepts as well as specific product details Footprint flexibility Low-cost agency model is dynamic where agents can move to identified areas
In all partnerships, the customer needs must be considered as the first step Customer Needs Value for money Convenience Simplicity Flexibility Trust Education Customer Experience
All of this is underpinned by consumer education – which improves persistence and increases VNB
