Life insurance, and especially whole, universal and variable life insurance have been sold the same way for the last 100 years in a door-to-door and super high-touch manner. And for today's digital first consumer, that lives online, that type of experience is a non-starter. Just try cold-calling a 35 year old and see where that gets you..... ELISA (Electronic Life Insurance Sales Assistant) empowers insurance agents across the country to tap into and sell to the digital-first consumer by offering them the online research and buying experience they demand. Elisa is a digital advisor but just like any good Sales Development Representative, she starts by educating potential clients about the benefits of different types of life insurance. Then, by asking pointed questions, Elisa begins to understand a client's risk tolerance, needs and sensibilities and makes an initial recommendation as to an appropriate policy type. Elisa then passes those details on to an agent to take it from there. And unlike a human assistant Elisa can work with 100s of clients simultaneously 24 hours a day/7 days a week. By the time an agent gets on a call with the client they are equipped to hit the ground running and well on their way to helping a buyer get into the perfect policy.  Elisa does all this while allowing agents to reach those digital first consumers that are looking to get started online before speaking to a human. That's both great for agent productivity and exactly what the digital generation expects and demands.
