In insurance, speed has always mattered — but with today’s customer expectations, it’s no longer optional. When a prospect says yes to a policy, every extra day in processing increases the risk of drop-off, second thoughts, or switching to a competitor.
Agent-Guided Digital Distribution (AGDD) is proving that speed in policy issuance is not just an operational advantage — it’s a strategic one.
From 10 Days to 4 Days
Traditional paper-driven processes can take over 10 days from initial form filling to final underwriting. AGDD’s hybrid digital model — capturing data online, validating instantly, and routing through the insurer’s own systems — has consistently reduced this to around 4 days, even under Indonesia’s regulatory requirement for wet signatures.
Why Speed Translates to More Than Time Savings
1. Improved Client Satisfaction
Customers value responsiveness. When policies are issued within days rather than weeks, trust is reinforced, and the buying experience feels seamless. A fast, professional process tells clients their decision matters.
2. Reduced Drop-Off Rates
The longer the wait, the greater the chance a prospect reconsiders or is approached by another insurer. By shortening cycle times, AGDD reduces this risk — locking in sales that might otherwise be lost.
3. Higher Conversion Rates
Speed enables momentum. Agents can capitalise on a client’s initial enthusiasm, move quickly to policy issuance, and even introduce cross-sell opportunities while trust is high.
The Human Impact for Agents
When the administrative lag is removed, agents can keep client conversations fresh and relevant. Instead of spending a week chasing paperwork, they can focus on proactive follow-up and relationship building — work that directly drives revenue and retention.
The Compliance-Friendly Advantage
AGDD achieves this without forcing insurers into fully digital licensing or capital changes. The process stays compliant with OJK 36/2024 rules, maintaining the wet signature requirement while delivering near-digital speed.
Bottom Line
Faster policy issuance is not just about operational efficiency — it’s about protecting sales, elevating customer experience, and empowering agents to perform at their best. In a competitive market, that’s more than speed. That’s a growth strategy.
