Digital insurance trends in Asia - Presentation to Allianz regional conferen...The Digital Insurer
This deck is an extract of a presentation given to Allianz CIO's and COO's in Singapore in May 2013.
Note : The presentation is an independent presentation by The Digital Insurer and does not represent or reflect Allianz policy or strategy.
The following presentation examines trends and best practices in Self Service, with respect to consumer trends, company strategies, tools and best practices in various industries.
We have reviewed the following types of Self Services:
Unassisted Self Service - where a customer can complete a transaction / receive the support he/she needs without requiring a human agent’s assistance at all. For example: online booking and ordering, online fund transferring, etc.
Assisted Self Service - where the customer can access the service at his/her own terms, but does require a human agent on the other side, for example: video tellers / conference calls, live chats with a live agent, email / SMS to an agent, etc.

Testing is usually associated with expensive pilot projects at the end of the product
development process when it’s usually too late to make major modifications or change course.
In the following pages we outline a number of testing techniques that you can already apply
during the search and design phase of your business ideas. These techniques enable you to
generate market facts rapidly and cheaply while you are still seeking to understand your
customers and design your value proposition and business model.
As outlined earlier, testing goes beyond interviewing or market observations, and gets
potential customers to perform certain actions that prove their interest.
This type of testing can be applied as early as the instance you have an idea. The facts you
gather in the process should continuously inform your search for great value propositions
and business models.
We identified three categories of testing techniques:
• Testing interest & relevance
• Testing willingness & ability to pay
• Testing preferences & priorities

What you measure:
Do potential customers show interest in your ideas? Are your ideas relevant to
them? Are they interested enough to perform an action?
You can start testing the interest and relevance of your ideas with customers before even
having a concrete value proposition in mind. By testing jobs, pains, and gains you can figure
out if customers even care about the issues you intend to address.
The following techniques allow you to get started on testing your customers’ interest:
• Ad Tracking / “Fake” Ads
• Landing Pages
Ad tracking / “Fake” Ads /
Ad tracking is an established technique that is used by advertisers to measure the effective-
ness of ad spending. The same technique can be used in a powerful way to track the interest
or lack of interest of potential customers for a new value proposition that doesn’t even exist
yet. If few or no potential customers respond to your ad campaign they either don’t have the
job, pain, or gain you are planning to address or they don’t see fit in your advertised value
proposition.
Tear-off ads or flyers are a low-cost and low-tech way to learn from a local
advertising campaign.

Google ads are a very scalable way to test potential customers’ reactions to
certain search terms. With a small budget you can run a campaign on Google
AdWords and you only pay if people click on your ads and visit your landing page.

how can I sell pi coins after successfully completing KYCDOT TECH
Pi coins is not launched yet in any exchange 💱 this means it's not swappable, the current pi displaying on coin market cap is the iou version of pi. And you can learn all about that on my previous post.
RIGHT NOW THE ONLY WAY you can sell pi coins is through verified pi merchants. A pi merchant is someone who buys pi coins and resell them to exchanges and crypto whales. Looking forward to hold massive quantities of pi coins before the mainnet launch.
This is because pi network is not doing any pre-sale or ico offerings, the only way to get my coins is from buying from miners. So a merchant facilitates the transactions between the miners and these exchanges holding pi.
I and my friends has sold more than 6000 pi coins successfully with this method. I will be happy to share the contact of my personal pi merchant. The one i trade with, if you have your own merchant you can trade with them. For those who are new.
Message: @Pi_vendor_247 on telegram.
I wouldn't advise you selling all percentage of the pi coins. Leave at least a before so its a win win during open mainnet. Have a nice day pioneers ♥️

US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a “Roaring Twenties”? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. government’s aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
“In order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,” says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.
how to sell pi coins in South Korea profitably.DOT TECH
Yes. You can sell your pi network coins in South Korea or any other country, by finding a verified pi merchant
What is a verified pi merchant?
Since pi network is not launched yet on any exchange, the only way you can sell pi coins is by selling to a verified pi merchant, and this is because pi network is not launched yet on any exchange and no pre-sale or ico offerings Is done on pi.
Since there is no pre-sale, the only way exchanges can get pi is by buying from miners. So a pi merchant facilitates these transactions by acting as a bridge for both transactions.
How can i find a pi vendor/merchant?
Well for those who haven't traded with a pi merchant or who don't already have one. I will leave the telegram id of my personal pi merchant who i trade pi with.

Customer relationship
CR could rely on different motivations, three common ones
are:
1. Customer acquisition
2. Customer retention
3. Increased sales (upselling)
Consider the mobile phone market: at the beginning CR
were driven by acquisition strategies, but when the market
was saturated, operators switched to customer retention
and tried to increase the average revenue per customer.
http://www.ecommerce-digest.com/customer-relationships.html
6. 5. From Customer Relationship to Costs6
Categories of CR
• personal assistance
• dedicated personal assistance
• self-service
• automated service
• communities
• co-creation
http://www.whittakercpas.com/what-type-of-customer-relationship-builds-value-for-your-business/
7. 5. From Customer Relationship to Costs7
Personal assistance
This is based on human interaction. Customers can
communicate directly with company representatives
throughout the sales process and after the sale is
complete. This may happen in person, by email, through
call centers, etc. Nordstrom’s would be a good example
of this. There is usually a customer service
representative in the department that can help you find
your perfect fit, help you with the sale, and help if there
is a problem down the road.
http://www.whittakercpas.com/what-type-of-customer-relationship-builds-value-for-your-business/
8. 5. From Customer Relationship to Costs8
Dedicated personal
assistance
This is also based on human interaction, but adds the
specificity of a dedicated customer service
representative. This is the deepest type of customer
relationship and normally develops over a long period of
time. Think of this with an investment advisor, CPA or an
attorney.
http://www.whittakercpas.com/what-type-of-customer-relationship-builds-value-for-your-business/
9. 5. From Customer Relationship to Costs9
Self-service
In this relationship, the company does not maintain a
direct relationship with its customers. Instead, it
provides all the necessary means for the customer to
help themselves. Think of how you buy music through
iTunes. This service does not require any customer
service; you can begin and complete the transaction on
your own. Another example would be how you purchase
gas for you cars. This transaction typically happens at
the pump and you never speak to an attendant.
http://www.whittakercpas.com/what-type-of-customer-relationship-builds-value-for-your-business/
10. 5. From Customer Relationship to Costs10
Automated service
This relationship mixes customer self-service with
automated processes. Automated services can
recognize individual customers and their characteristics.
While iTunes is an example of self-service, Pandora (a
web-based music service) is an example of an
automated service. With Pandora, you create a profile
and populate a couple of “stations” you like to listen to.
As you continue to listen to music, you can give the
songs a ‘thumbs-up’ or a ‘thumbs-down’ when you like
or dislike music. Over time, the software actually tailors
the music it plays to your liking.
http://www.whittakercpas.com/what-type-of-customer-relationship-builds-value-for-your-business/
11. 5. From Customer Relationship to Costs11
Communities
Many companies are using communities to become more
involved with their customers/prospects and to facilitate
connections between community members. Many
companies maintain online communities to exchange
knowledge and solve problems. There are several
examples of this that come to mind. Most technology
companies have online communities where people share
questions and solve problems. If you have ever Googled a
computer or software problem, you were probably provided
with several online communities that had answers. Some of
these forums (online communities) are established and
monitored by the software and hardware companies.
http://www.whittakercpas.com/what-type-of-customer-relationship-builds-value-for-your-business/
12. 5. From Customer Relationship to Costs12
Co-creation
This is a model in which the company and the customer
co-create value, done quite frequently with technology.
When you purchase something online, you typically get
to peruse through the reviews of the item that you are
buying prior to making your decision. In this instance,
the seller and previous customers are working together
to co-create value. The customer reviews add value to
the product as well as to the customer service of the
seller. This can also be done with testimonials for typical
brick and mortar companies.

Costs
In production, research, retail, and accounting, a cost is
the value of money that has been used up to produce
something, and hence is not available for use anymore.
Two kind of costs:
• Direct costs
• Indirect costs
20
21. 5. From Customer Relationship to Costs
Direct costs
Costs that can be identified specifically with a particular
project or activity, or that can be directly assigned to them
with a high degree of accuracy.
Direct costs generally includes:
• Salary and wages
• Material, supplies and equipment purchased directly
for the specific project
• Communication and travels costs
21
22. 5. From Customer Relationship to Costs
Indirect costs
Costs that are not classified as direct
Indirect costs generally includes:
• Salary of administrative staff providing normal support

Value
The extent to which a good or service is perceived by its
customer to meet his or her needs or wants, measured by
the customer’s willingness to pay for it.
It depends more on the customer’s perception of the
worth of the product than on its intrinsict value.
How do we create the perception of value when we talk to
our customers?

Gillette idea
By providing something at below the market price
(the razor), you can create a market for a secondary
product (the blade) upon which you make ongoing
profits.
The mark-up on the secondary products is
disproportionate relative to their cost so were highly
profitable for the manufacturer.
