Distribution research
Ready for a change in the distribution landscape?
Whatever your current or future plans for your company’s distribution channels, ad hoc research from ORC International can help you reach your objectives.
Research to help you improve your intermediary distribution
New projections suggest up to a third of IFAs may leave the advice market because of the costs involved in complying with RDR requirements:
- To what extent will this affect your IFA supporter base?
- How will IFA business models change – do you have the products and processes in place to meet these needs?
ORC International has been working with leading industry providers for two decades to help develop distribution strategies:
- Is your Sales Team struggling to identify the most profitable intermediaries? See how an attitudinal and needs based segmentation study helped a leading protection provider target IFAs with the most potential.
- Are you providing the best support and meeting the service expectations of your intermediaries? See how a company used research to maintain close relationships with its IFA supporters.
- Struggling to fill the gaps in your retention strategy from your syndicated data? See how one pensions provider stemmed the flow of surrenders by analysing adviser behaviour and designing a retention programme.
Research to help you explore other distribution options
Life, pensions and investment providers are now considering a raft of other distribution options. Could guided sales or other direct-to-public distribution channels work for your brand?
