  The Acquisition and Retention Vertical of LexisNexis Risk Solutions focuses on helping insurance carrier marketers acquire and retain high-value customers through leveraging cutting-edge insurance relevant data, attributes, and predictive models. Our insights are powered by robust knowledge of the insurance industry and decades of unparalleled visibility into the marketplace with a constant pulse on how consumer behaviors are changing on the fly. Our predictive models aid insurers in assessing consumer risk (loss propensity), policy survivability (short-term attrition risk) and likelihood to convert based on estimated premium position compared to the rest of the market (will the price to the consumer be competitive).These unique insights and predictive capabilities allow insurers to segment consumers at the top of the funnel based on projected lifetime value metrics and balance those considerations with how much they are willing to invest to acquire that consumer (Customer Lifetime Value to Customer Acquisition Cost). Our data insights and models can be deployed at the top of the funnel in practically all marketing use cases, such as insurance prescreen (firm offer), real-time lead evaluation, direct mail and digital prospect list building, first-party data enrichment, etc.The Acquisition and Retention Vertical Team leads the overall market intelligence and strategy, partnership development, innovation, new product development and go-to-market execution for this line of business.
