Customers typically ask about three main aspects of their coverage and policy management:

"What exactly does my policy cover?": Customers frequently inquire about the specifics of their coverage, including what scenarios or events are covered, what exclusions exist, and the limits of their policy. They want clear clarification on how their insurance applies to real-life situations.

"How can I lower my premium?": A very common question revolves around cost and affordability. Customers often ask about available discounts, the impact of changing their deductible, and other strategies to reduce their monthly or annual insurance payments without significantly compromising necessary protection.

"What is the claims process, and how long does it take?": When a situation arises where they might need to file a claim, clients want to understand the step-by-step procedure. This includes knowing what documentation is required, who to contact, the typical timeline for resolution and payout, and what they can expect during the claim adjustment process.

What's the biggest worry or fear people have when choosing an insurance policy?

Inadequate Coverage/Unexpected Costs: People fear paying premiums only to find out later that their policy won't cover a major event (like a natural disaster, illness, or accident), leaving them with huge out-of-pocket expenses or the need to switch doctors.

Complexity & Fine Print: Insurance policies are confusing, with dense language that makes it hard to understand what's truly included, leading to anxiety about missing crucial details.

Trust & Sales Tactics: A major concern is being "sold" unnecessary coverage by agents, rather than being genuinely helped, creating mistrust in the industry and sales process.

Financial Burden: Worrying about affordability, paying too much, or getting locked into expensive plans, especially when considering age or changing life circumstances.

Future Uncertainty: Fear of unknown future health needs, life events (like having a baby or job loss), or the possibility of something bad happening, which pushes them to seek protection but also makes the decision overwhelming.

Data Misuse: Fear of personal information being compromised, especially with online purchases.
