We learned that the general attitudes our users had towards insurance products was skeptical. Their experiences with insurance agents was often that of being pushed to purchase new products; they felt like agents did not have enough understanding of their current financial and coverage status to be qualified to advise them on what to purchase. Customers want to feel like the product they're purchasing is right for them, and often worry about over-coverage or under-coverage.
