Webinar Replay - Applying Behavioural Economics to Life Insurance (MLC Life Insurance)

A fascinating journey into the world of Behavioural Economics and how it can help you have better quality conversations with your clients (MLC Life Insurance)

This is a recording of the Webinar that Donna did on behalf of MLC Life Insurance, for the Advice Movement on the 17th of October, 2019. Below is just some of what we covered in the Webinar:


Ever been perplexed by a client’s response to a question or recommendation you have put forward? In our session ‘Applying behavioural economics to life insurance,’ we explore the psychological behavioural biases that impact adult decision making.


Behavioural economics, in simple terms, is the combination of insights from psychology, judgement, decision making and economics – which allows us to generate a more accurate understanding of human behaviour. Clients do not always make rational decisions particularly on matters that could have a huge impact on their future, such as the approach they take to minimising costs and the impact to their life insurance.


The teachers of Behavioural economics believe there are many opportunities to ‘nudge’ people’s behaviour by making subtle changes to the context in which individuals make decisions. Through this webinar we will introduce to you behavioural economics, its application to life insurance and provide a practical approach to ‘nudging’ our clients to make better decisions.

In this month’s webinar, Donna Wilson, Distribution Engagement Manager from MLC Life Insurance will discuss:


• The principals of behavioural economics
• Examples of notable, common biases
• How behavioural economics Influences Life Insurance
• Techniques to build you own behavioural economics questions and sentences
