Easing the Transition to a New Channel with an Airtight Go-to-Market Strategy

Our go-to-market plan was extremely successful in transitioning our client’s small business customers over to the new service center.

The Challenge

As one of the largest insurance brokers in the U.S., this organization was serving a wide range of customers already — and they were growing. They wanted to continue providing white-glove service for their larger customers, but for the thousands of small business insurance customers nationwide, they needed a more efficient solution. They planned to shift a subset of their existing customers from traditional agency support over to a centralized service center, starting with their small business customers. They needed a plan to support the transition and partnered with Weber to create a go-to-market strategy that would support the new model.

The Weber Approach

We started our work where every go-to-market strategy begins: with the target audience. From there, we built an airtight plan that would not only provide education and awareness for the end customer but also support the frontline team that would be operating the service center and interacting directly with them for their insurance support needs. Our go-to-market strategy included the following: 

 

Small business customer personas — We developed demographic and psychographic profiles of the company’s target audience with their needs, buying processes and tailored messaging. 

 

Customer journey — We mapped the end-to-end journey from “Welcome” to “Retain” to “Partner,” with a focus on the moments that matter across a customer’s life cycle. 

 

Marketing plan — We created a campaign look and feel as well as a month-by-month, multi-vehicle marketing plan to launch the new service channel and ease any concerns from small business customers about the change. 

 

Marketing execution — We designed marketing deliverables to support the moments that matter throughout the customer journey, with an emphasis on welcoming and retaining. 

 

Supporting the front line — We trained the frontline service team on personas, journey touchpoints and best practices to ensure customers had a consistent and positive experience at each step.
