Max Life Insurance Co. Ltd. ("Max Life"/ "Company"), has delivered superior customer connect during the COVID-19 pandemic with its unique 'Speed Dial Partner for Life' initiative. Launched in the last fiscal year as an industry-first, under the Speed Dial Partner for Life initiative, Max Life assigns every customer a dedicated service relationship manager, known as the 'Partner for Life' for all their policy-related service needs. The 'Partners for Life' are enablers, who provide a one-stop solution on call, shortening and cutting down any wait time a customer would have to go through to get their queries answered, and get dedicated attention to all their queries.

Over the last year, the Speed Dial Partner for Life (SDPL) program was scaled up in size and base coverage, to cover over 80% of Max Life's customer base. Furthermore, nearly 26 lac policyholders have been covered under this initiative, resulting in SDPL attaining a Net Promoter Score of 70 as a touchpoint.

Commenting on the milestone, Manu Lavanya, Director & Chief Operations Officer, Max Life said, "Customer obsession is a central element of organizational values at Max Life. We are very proud of our industry's first SDPL (Speed Dial Partner for Life) initiative, now in its second year, that is based on the simple premise of nurturing a continuous, long-term relationship with our customers that is based on trust. We understand the need to transform our post-onboarding relationship with our customers from a transaction to a deep consumer-centric relationship. We want to make the experience for customers as seamless as possible across all opportunities for engagement. Max Life aims to differentiate itself with exceptional customer servicing and digital solutions, and SDPL is one of our flagship initiatives to enable that experience." A permanent contact number along with the SDPL name is shared with the customer through various communication modes. Customer can interact with his/her SDPL on that one fixed number, without getting lost in IVR queue, unlike a typical call center. This also ensures that the customer always has a point of contact for query resolution, even if the original sourcing agent is not available. The service relationship manager also educates customers on the company's digital service solutions and new products offerings, if inquired, making the servicing more seamless.

Navigating the COVID-19 pandemic, Max Life Insurance has strengthened its commitment to customers by introducing a range of digital initiatives that are completely contactless and paperless. The company has overhauled the majority of the physical servicing touchpoints to digital and enabled more options of self-serve on its website - built an OTP authentication workflow, integrated their AI-based chatbot 'Mili', to serve customers round the clock - among other digital offerings.
