Providing customers with clear information and good service when they buy products

Buying a life, pensions or investments product is a life-shaping decision - and with so many different options to choose from, we understand how vital it is to help people get it right.

Our aim is to give our customers simple, clear information and helpful guidance about all the alternatives on offer, so it's easier for them to make the right decisions. This means we look closely at everything from the language we use in our brochures and on our website, to the way we train our sales team.

How do we help?

Most people don't have lots of time to wade through long documents, so we make sure we know who we're talking to, and that what we say is relevant and to the point. And to help our customers take everything in, we aim to make everything we say as clear and straightforward as possible.

Of course, there's much more to selling products than information. So we also train our sales team to give clear, accurate, fair advice that puts our customers' needs first. And because a great deal of our business comes through intermediaries, we also understand the importance of helping them understand exactly what our products do, and which customers they suit best.

18,500
In 2006, we listened to over 18,500 customers through our own customer research programme - nearly twice as many as the year before. They gave us their views about all kinds of things, including the sort of information they need to make good decisions. This valuable feedback helps us to ensure that our communications are clear and easy to understand.
