Referral Module 2.0 and IDEC Marketing Plan
Target Market
Insurance intermediaries, preferably brokers, that are accepting referral business from referrers (some of these referrers can be “sensitive”. Examples are those motor insurance brokers that relies heavily on life insurance agents, garage, motor companies, etc., to refer motor insurance business to them.
Business Problem and Opportunity to Address
The world of insurance intermediaries is a mature eco-system and yet fast-changing one.
In the recent year of financial difficulty today, people are eager to earn the last coin from the market. Able to grab hold of these referrers is important to insurance brokers’ business, not to say growth.
On the other hand, with the aging of Hong Kong economy, we are seeing legacy insurance brokers moving out of the market. However, after that many years of establishment, they still want their shares. Therefore it evolves that these veterans only act are “super referrer” and total transfer the business to some young ones to “operate” for them.

為解決上3個問題, 我們推出了Referral Module 2.0 和 IDEC (InsPal Data Exchange Centre, 『InsPal 數據交換中心』pronounced as i-dec)
The Product
The product is composed of 2 closely related products. There are namely Referral Module 2.0 and IDEC.
Referral Module 2.0 is the successor of Referral Module 1.0. The function is similar but the architecture is totally different. RM20 allows referrers to key in simple data about the client and subject matter and follow up its status until the lower sales cycle, such as policy delivery, payment, commission, and even claims.
And how is information exchanged to the insurance broker (we named it Principal Broker, as it acts like an insurance principal in this case)? The information is exchanged via IDEC (InsPal Data Exchange Centre). IDEC, by its own right, is another product of InsPal, it will becomes a hub for exchanging information on insurance (e.g. policy, claims, clients, payment, etc)
Pricing
『唇齒相依, 唇亡齒寒』。This is not fair to charge either one party. We will give out RM20 for free. But we will charge for transaction to both the PB and the referrer. The amount is yet to decide. 2.5% or HK$2.5, whichever is the higher is a good estimate.
Promotion
Initial Penetration
Some brokers are very sensitive. So initially we must sing the song by one by one. This approach, first of all, is to accumulate experience for us to further fine-tune our promotion to this product. Secondly, when group is small, they tend to speak the true feelings and thus can improve on the product.
Despite the importance of this move, we DO NOT have a large budget to launch a big campaign. But at least what we can do is:
Update inspal.com on this product
Send mass email (with good and convincing contents) to prospective customers
Also, we will rely very much on LPC to help us to promote this product and build a successful story.
On-going promotion
Perhaps it is too early to talk about this. But it is always good to (i) to the good side, prepare some activities to make it big; (ii) to the bad side, prepare for some worst-case scenario.
Place (Market Channel)
Direct-selling
Via PB
On one hand, there will be NO ONE who can sell better than ourselves. One can only refer, but not sell for us. But we have to CLOSE the deal ourselves.
To this end, we have to spell out clearly on inspal.com what this product is and what are its benefits.
後記
It gives me the feeling that Referrer Module 2.0 is very much like InsPal Mini, but yet they are not totally identical. Is there a way to integrate them?
