Christine Husbands on Red Arc and Added Value Services on Protection Products – MPAF37

Added Value Services such as Best Doctors and Helping Hand feature on many protection products.

Providing more than just money they give claimants access to practical and emotional help.

Considered a gimmick ten years ago such services are now considered almost essential in the advice process. However, as valuable as they are they don’t seem able to command a price premium.

My guest runs Red Arc, one of the firms that pioneered added value services.

Listen to Christine describe how Red Arc developed and how important their service has been to claimants on life, critical illness and income protection products.

Hear her views on what’s next including second opinions, and mental health care and advice.

That’s all right here in episode 37 of the Marketing Protection and Finance Podcast.
