The value > price equation

Today’s consumers often substitute “value” for “cheap.” However, value is obviously much more than a cheap price. 

Consider this thought-provoking value equation to expand the definition of value beyond price when speaking to your clients or prospects.

Value = (Price) + Cost Avoidance + Utility + Impact

In other words, what the client ultimately gets is based on a few different factors, all added together:
  • What the client pays, or their premium payment
  • What the client avoids sacrificing, such as time or energy saved by receiving a fast claim payment or not having to travel to a damaged secondary home
  • What the product or service does, or the claim payment for a loss or a loss prevented
  • How it affects the clientor the physical and emotional impact of the policy (ie: peace of mind, gratitude, etc)

So, value is more than a cheap price. That’s because a cheap price for a policy that fails to protect your clients or meet their needs, whether physical or emotional, is a lousy value at any price.

Help your client think about value as more than just a low price. Expand their definition of value beyond price to include cost avoidance, utility, and impact.

“How important is it to you that a carrier offers resources to prevent issues from happening in the first place?”

“Can you tell me about what you would expect from a carrier should you experience an unexpected loss to your home?”

“What is most important to you when choosing an insurance carrier?”
