Telephone service sells: a salaried sales force might be an agent's nightmare but it is a consumer's dream

Article Abstract:

USAA Life has achieved success by marketing health and life insurance via the telephone. By eschewing agents for telemarketing and direct marketing techniques, USAA has lowered its marketing and sales distribution costs and is thus able to offer customers insurance products at a lower price. USAA uses direct mail to solicit its niche market, military officers and their families, and provides a toll-free telephone number. The telephone salespeople provide immediate service and provide advice to the caller on which types of insurance suit their needs.
