Proven Results: National P&C Manufacturer Identifies Specific Targets for VUL, Whole Life, and Annuity Offerings
By using a series of age-wealth combinations to create discrete customer segments, IXI worked with a leading insurance firm to demonstrate potential annuity, Variable Universal Life (VUL), and whole life policies that were more than 10 times larger in size and 15 times greater in incidence in the target segments.

Track Performance, Increase Sales, and Uncover Hidden Opportunity

IXI enables the nation’s leading Life and Annuity manufacturers to segment, target and interact more effectively with their end customers, prospects, and markets based on measures of wealth, anticipated premium, spending potential, and investment behavior. Additionally, distributors can leverage the country’s only quarterly POS database of annuity contracts issued, now featuring broker-dealer and ZIP code-level granularity.

Identify Your True Top Wholesalers and the Best Opportunities

IXI’s solutions for annuity issuers are based on nearly $100 billion in direct-measured annual variable annuity sales provided by the nation’s leading variable annuity issuers, including the top 15 in the industry.

This database of anonymous, direct-measured annuity contract sales, assets under management, and flow throughout the U.S. powers the industry’s most accurate and reliable market share and sizing tool for annuity issuers. Called MarketVision for Annuities, this powerful resource informs a wide range of territory and sales force management applications:

  • Size opportunities and identify specific voids in market coverage
  • Set more accurate sales forecasts by territory and branch
  • Identify precise areas of emerging annuity growth
  • Identify top wholesalers based on true relative performance

Specialized reports offer additional insight:

  • Use the Broker-Dealer Report to evaluate quarter-by-quarter broker-dealer sales within your territories, and realign resources accordingly
  • Use Rank Reporting to discover the number of annuity manufacturers being sold and your firm’s rank in sales dollars at territory or 3-digit ZIP level
  • Use the Zero Share Improvement Report to locate hot broker-dealer sales ZIPs where your firm has zero sales and cold sales ZIPs that have too many resources
