Why Clients Leave Insurance Companies at Sales Offices
An insurance sales office is not just a place for a transaction, but a space where it's decided whether the client will return to you next time. Too often, though, a visitor sees a queue, a consultant busy with someone else's question, and a stand of paper brochures nobody reads.
After 10–15 minutes of forced waiting, the mood sours and the desire to dig into insurance nuances disappears — the person leaves without ever taking out a policy.
The most frustrating part is that the problem isn't the quality of the service. Insurance products are in demand, but objectively hard to grasp: terms, rates, coverage, deductible — the client needs a simple way to quickly understand what suits him personally.
If there's no such way, he loses interest and chooses a company where everything seems clearer. Every lost deal is not just missed revenue, but also weaker customer retention: the person carries away a negative experience and tells friends and colleagues about it.
This is exactly where an interactive kiosk changes the situation. A visitor to a sales office doesn't wait for a consultant to find out the policy price, compare options, or check terms — he does it himself, on a touch screen, at his own pace.
Waiting turns from an annoying pause into a useful introduction to insurance products, while staff handle complex questions and closing deals.
Such a tool works directly on customer retention and conversion, and we help insurance companies implement it quickly with a clear business result.
What an Interactive Kiosk Brings Your Business
An interactive kiosk in an insurance company's office is not a replacement for a live employee, but a tool that takes over routine and increases sales. The client chooses for himself: quickly submit a request at the kiosk or consult with a specialist.
Companies that have already implemented such kiosks report higher conversion — for example, AlfaStrakhovanie uses them at points of sale. What does the business get?
- Growth in sales. The kiosk suggests suitable products based on the client's answers and completes a request in 3 minutes. Additional sales happen without a manager's involvement.
- Reduced staff workload. Employees stop answering routine questions and issuing standard policies — the kiosk does it itself. Freed-up time goes to complex consultations.
- Higher loyalty. The client doesn't stand in a queue or wait for a manager to become available. He controls the process himself — this removes frustration and creates the image of a modern company.
- Data collection. The system records which products clients view most often, where they break off the scenario, and what questions arise. This data helps improve the product range and train staff.
- A single standard of customer service. The kiosk works the same in all offices: service quality doesn't depend on how busy a particular employee is.
- Time savings for clients and the company. Processing takes minutes, not hours — every visitor becomes a client faster.
Such a kiosk pays for itself through higher sales and staff relief, and the collected data helps make decisions based on facts rather than guesses.
Formats of Interactive Kiosks for Insurance Companies
A kiosk in an insurance company solves two tasks: it draws attention to products and removes routine from employees. But the same enclosure won't fit both a lobby and a self-service area — it's important to choose a format for the client scenario.
Let's look at which types of interactive kiosks actually work in insurance and what each gives the business.
| Kiosk format | Where it works and for whom | What it gives the company's clients |
|---|---|---|
| Floor-standing kiosk — an interactive showcase | Office lobby, waiting area, partner points of sale | Draws attention, helps explore products without a manager's help, increases brand awareness. Visitors keep themselves occupied while waiting for their appointment |
| Wall-mounted kiosk | Sales office, narrow walkways, MFCs, partner banks | Saves space, provides quick access to reference information, appointment booking, and a policy calculator. Reduces the queue at the information desk |
| Self-service kiosk | 24/7 zone, separate entrance, shopping malls, train stations | Lets the client independently take out a policy, pay, get a statement, or renew documents — without contacting an operator. Relieves staff and extends operating hours |
The choice of format depends on what matters more: maximum coverage of passers-by or full autonomy of operations.
In one office, a wall-mounted kiosk for navigation is often combined with a floor-standing showcase for presenting premium products, while high-traffic locations get self-service kiosks.
We design the kiosk around your task: we select the enclosure, interface, and interaction scenario so clients can handle them without prompts. We also connect analytics — you see which products are viewed and purchased most often, and can change the showcase promptly.
Stages of Creating a Turnkey Interactive Kiosk
To make the kiosk launch go without surprises, we've broken the work into clear stages. You always know what's happening with the project, who is responsible for what, and when the result will be ready.
Below is a typical turnkey kiosk development cycle we've refined over dozens of projects for insurance companies.
-
Brief and immersion in the task. You tell us which services you want to promote and which audience to attract. We ask clarifying questions and study your sales office and typical client scenarios.
-
Project plan and estimate. We agree on the set of screens, scenario logic, and timelines. You get a transparent plan with stages and acceptance points — no hidden work or surprise surcharges.
-
Scenario prototype. We show how the visitor will interact with the kiosk: service selection, cost calculation, booking an appointment with an agent. At this stage, the logic can be easily adjusted before development begins.
-
Design and content in your brand style. We create an interface that is clear to people of any age and matches the insurance company's corporate identity. You approve the layouts, and we prepare the texts and visuals.
-
Development and testing. We assemble the interactive kiosk on professional equipment and test all scenarios on real devices. We pay special attention to response speed and reliability — the kiosk must work without failures at peak hours.
-
Kiosk launch and staff training. We install the equipment in your office, configure integration with internal systems, and hold a short briefing for staff. Your employees will be able to help clients and resolve basic questions.
-
Technical support and development. After launch, we stay in touch: we update content, add new products, and monitor stability. If needed, we extend functionality — from surveys to integration with the client accounting system.
This way you get not just a touch terminal, but a manageable sales tool. Our team takes on all technical risks, while you keep control over timelines and results.
What's Included in the Interactive Kiosk Delivery
Comprehensive delivery saves you from needing to understand technical details and coordinate several contractors.
One contractor is responsible for the whole project — from the enclosure to warranty service — which means the kiosk works from day one and doesn't require your staff's attention.
Here's what's included in the full delivery package:
- Equipment — a touch kiosk with a protected enclosure that withstands intensive use in the office and high-traffic locations. The device is ready for daily work without special conditions.
- Software — the system comes preinstalled and configured for the insurance company's tasks: calculator, service catalog, appointment booking. Updates and adjustments are made remotely — you don't need to involve your own IT specialists.
- Design and content — screen design in your corporate style: logo, colors, menu structure. Clients immediately understand that it's part of your company and trust the information presented.
- Installation and connection — specialists arrive on the appointed day, install the kiosk at the chosen location, and connect it to the power supply and local network. Before signing the acceptance act, they check all functionality together with you.
- Staff training — a short training for employees: how to use the kiosk, guide clients through navigation steps, and solve typical questions. The format is designed for people without technical training.
- Warranty and maintenance — official warranty on the equipment and software, plus support by phone and messengers. If reconfiguration is needed, we'll help remotely or come to the office.
This approach lets you launch the kiosk without your own IT department and start using it right after installation.
As a result, you get a working tool that raises the service level and relieves employees of repetitive questions — while clients get the information they need faster.
Case Study: Conversion Growth of 40% at an Insurance Company
The insurance business is a constant stream of similar questions: "which policy to choose", "what's included in the coverage", "how to get it done quickly". In offices, clients got lost in queues, and managers explained the same thing ten times.
The company Strakhovoy Mir approached us — they needed to relieve staff and not lose clients who left without waiting for a consultation. Each such departure was not just a lost premium, but a blow to reputation.
The main challenge was the wide product line: dozens of rates, options, and conditions. A person without preparation simply couldn't choose on their own, so they asked a manager for help, and the office was drowning in identical consultations.
We proposed an interactive kiosk that guides the visitor through three simple steps: insurance type, parameters, contacts. The system itself selects the suitable option and immediately sends the request to a manager for approval.
In two months, more than 5,000 people used the kiosks in one office. The average session took 4 minutes — instead of 15–20 minutes of talking with an agent. Conversion of visitors into requests grew by 40%, and 70% of users noted that it became easier to understand.
Simple sales moved to self-service, and managers focused on complex cases and increasing the average ticket.
After the pilot, the client scaled the solution to 8 more offices — the repeat engagement was the best validation of our work. In addition, the load on the call center decreased: some clients got answers right at the kiosk.
We got a case study that shows: the kiosk is not "a screen in the corner", but a working sales tool that pays off in the first months.
How to Choose the Interactive Kiosk Format for Your Tasks?
Choosing the right kiosk starts not with equipment, but with the tasks it must solve in your insurance company. Think about what's happening in your office: queues to specialists, repeated consultations on rates, waiting for certificates and policies. If the kiosk takes on these routine scenarios, the payback is already visible in staff utilization.
To answer the question "how to choose a kiosk", it's worth evaluating three parameters: who and how will use it, where it will stand, and what result you expect.
For example, in the waiting area, clients can independently fill out applications, get acquainted with products, or find answers on claim settlement. At the administrator's desk, the kiosk can help the employee — suggest terms, compare policies, quickly print documents.
The kiosk selection also depends on the interaction format. A touch terminal with constant access to the product base suits navigation and information purposes.
If you need a full-fledged service — policy issuance, cost calculation, filing a claim notification — it's better to choose a model with integration into your internal systems. This makes the kiosk a full-fledged sales channel rather than just a showcase.
The main rule when choosing a kiosk is to start from the scenario of the specific insurance product. We conduct a short audit of your office and propose a format that will reduce waiting time and relieve managers. You get a well-grounded decision, not a "magic screen" installed for unclear reasons.
Frequently Asked Questions About Interactive Kiosks
Owners of insurance companies rarely think about kiosks until they face queues and overloaded employees. When it comes to implementation, practical questions arise: is the equipment hard to master, what happens if it breaks, how quickly the investment will pay off. Below are answers to the most common ones — briefly and in terms of what matters to you.
Won't employees figure out the kiosk — will we have to train the staff?
No. The interface works just like a regular website or mobile app: large buttons, clear hints, several steps to the desired action. An employee masters the kiosk within one working day, and clients use it independently — staff assistance is only needed in the first few days.
What if the kiosk breaks down — how long will it be out of service?
We use professional equipment designed for round-the-clock operation in public places, and we provide an official warranty. During repairs, we provide a replacement kiosk at our expense — your location doesn't stop working. Maintenance is included in the contract, so you don't need to look for contractors for each fault.
Will the kiosk pay off quickly in an insurance office?
The kiosk pays off through staff relief and conversion growth: managers stop spending time on repeated explanations and issuing standard policies, and clients get served without a queue. With an active visitor flow, payback comes within a few months. We'll calculate the exact effect for your traffic during the free audit.
Will the kiosk look out of place in our office?
We'll customize the kiosk's appearance to your corporate style: logo, colors, fonts, and the main screen layout. The device will become part of the office navigation, not a "box with buttons".
For insurance companies, we also offer branded screensavers and product information on the main screen — this builds brand recognition.
Still have questions about implementation, operation, or the possibility of integration with your sales system? Leave a request — we'll show the kiosk at a demo and calculate the benefit for your office.Leave a Request for Interactive Kiosk Development

- Free consultation: we discuss the goals of installing the kiosk, the profile of your visitors, and placement points.
