The insurance industry is changing rapidly. With online platforms, instant quotes, and digital policies, it’s never been easier for customers to purchase insurance products. But amid all this convenience, one crucial element is being left behind: professional, personalised insurance advice.
At Briisk, we believe that no matter how seamless or digital the insurance journey becomes, guidance from someone who truly understands insurance is still essential. That’s why we’ve built a professional advisory component into how we help businesses and their end customers – from product structuring to implementation planning.
Here’s why this matters more than ever.
The growing advice gap in digital insurance
As more customers move online to buy insurance, the role of the traditional broker or adviser is diminishing. While digital platforms offer speed and accessibility, they often lack the personalised guidance that helps customers choose the right cover for their specific needs.
Too often, customers:
❌ Don’t fully understand what they’re buying
❌ Aren’t aware of exclusions or limitations in the policy
❌ Choose products based purely on price rather than coverage
❌ Over- or under-insure themselves
❌ Struggle to get support when it comes time to claim
This disconnect can lead to poor customer outcomes and erode trust in insurance as a whole.
Why upfront advice is critical
Insurance isn’t one-size-fits-all. Whether it’s health, property, business, or life cover, every customer has a unique set of risks and requirements. Getting advice before buying ensures that the product selected aligns with those needs, and that there’s clarity on what’s covered, what’s not, and how the policy performs in real-life scenarios.
Professional advice helps customers:
✅ Understand the implications of their choices
✅ Avoid costly mistakes at claim time
✅ Brokers exist for a reason, make use of someone who knows more than you
✅ Feel more confident and informed in their decision-making
It also leads to higher satisfaction and retention – because people are far more likely to stay with a provider that took the time to guide them properly.
How Briisk helps bridge the gap
At Briisk, we don’t just help build or distribute insurance products – we help make sure those products are understood and fit for purpose. That’s why our consulting services are now an integral part of our offering, helping our partners structure and deliver insurance solutions with a strong advice component from the start.
Whether it’s:
✅ Designing guided digital journeys that simulate traditional advice
✅ Structuring products to be more transparent and easier to compare
✅ Training sales teams or enabling intermediaries with clear product knowledge
✅ Or mapping out customer risk profiles during implementation
…our approach ensures that customers don’t just get a policy – they get peace of mind.
Putting professionalism at the centre of the digital experience
As the industry continues to evolve, the providers who will succeed are those who blend digital innovation with professional, high-quality, personalised advice. At Briisk, we’re proud to work with partners who see the value in this balance – and we’re confident that charging for our professional consulting upfront results in better products, smoother rollouts, and ultimately, better outcomes for the end customer.
