Built for advisers, the app provides a quote facility that easily and quickly supports them when they are out visiting clients, according to L&G.
The key features of the app include:
• ‘Real time’ protection quotes, which help advisers make the most of business opportunities.
• A Tools section that enables pre-selection of options to make the quote process tailored, simple and quick.
• Links to the Legal & General websites that give access to product information and literature.
• Links to an adviser’s contacts list to set up clients interested in protection and calendar to enable advisers to book appointments.
• Pre-population of emails with the quote results so that advisers can email the details to themselves, their client or their administration team.
• ‘Real time’ marketing messages, product and pricing information.
Commenting on the new technology, Alison Manning, head of product development for individual protection said, “We are delighted to be the first protection provider to market with a dedicated iPhone and iPad App for advisers.
“Legal & General have created an engaging and user-friendly quote tool using the unique features of an App rather than just adapting existing quote functionality. It is important for the industry to use modern technology that can help make protection more accessible for advisers and their clients.
“This is the first quoting app of its kind and compliments the mortgage app we launched last year.
“We also want advisers to help us with future developments for the app such as interactive sales aids and we have included a feedback facility, which emails directly to the development team.
“This will ensure we build the functionality that advisers want and which will help them explain the importance of protection to their clients.”
