Financial advisers are seeking greater efficiencies from life insurers to reduce end costs to clients according to TAL, which has stated that insurers need to \u2018own their part\u2019 in providing beneficial services to advisers.<\/p>\n

TAL, Group Chief Executive and Managing Director, Brett Clark<\/strong> said feedback from financial advisers via the insurer\u2019s website has centred around advocacy and business efficiencies.<\/p>\n

\u201cAdvisers are after content that helps them tell their stories broadly. Additionally, advisers are asking insurers to help them deliver life insurance products and services more efficiently to customers and help them reduce the costs to service their clients,\u201d Clark said.<\/p>\n

Clark said the feedback from advisers showed that advisers were committed to their clients and asked for further information about areas of assistance.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am calling on all advisers to keep telling us what they would like to see from us. Their feedback, insights, comments and discussions are critical for ideas to be put into reality. A collaborative approach will ensure we invest in the right projects and we are committed to taking positive steps towards our future shared success.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the same time Clark said insurers had a part to play in dealing with adviser related issues as well as improving their own ability to deliver products and services more efficiently.<\/p>\n

\u201cLife insurers must own their part in providing solutions that make a material difference to an advisers\u2019 business, so together we can deliver a better outcome for Australians,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must work harder on becoming a more efficient industry. Some of the practices and customer outcomes are no longer acceptable by modern standards. We have made incremental improvements around the edges over the last few years, but we need more substantive breakthroughs.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe future of the life insurer and adviser relationship must continue to evolve from merely transactional to an efficient and seamless partnership.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
