AIA Philam Life's Coffee Closing Project

I've had my share of horror stories with companies taking the whole lot of procedures just for a single transaction which could have just been a simple verification on a computer screen. The wasted hours, the skipping of lunch and a hot head made me furious, a lot in fact that I just decided to call it a day and leave that place. 

This morning, I got to see the light. Although we are still under GCQ, the folks at AIA PhilAm Life showed us how their company is making headway in making not just providing the apt plans, but improving procedures in a project they call AIA Philam Life's Coffee Closing Project. Gone are the days of physically meeting up at coffee shops just so you could get a policy work for you. The tons of papers, printing, photocopying and presentations while having a cup of joe beside each other should be inexistent for safety reasons. Makes sense?

AIA Philam Life's Coffee Closing Project simplified things in three-steps. With this, all it takes now is 20 minutes. From e-Submission, e-Signature and e-Payment, things get simple as everything is online. Agents utilize an AIA Philam Life iPad-based interactive Point- of-Sale (iPoS) tool. This produces a secure link for transactions, powered by Fusion, an AI-powered and award- winning digital underwriting platform which validates insurance applications. Imagine that!

Ms. Bernadette Chincuanco Head of Banking and Communications at AIA PhilAm Life says “We are very excited about this as we streamline our procedures and adapting to what our customers need at these times, I don't want to spoil it for you!"

AIA CEO Kelvin Ang says “Good to see everyone. We have challenges this pandemic and in ways it has made us see the digital capabilities and now we have to fast track and customers have asked us to quicken the process, we had to step up with innovation we recently shared and it has won us awards. Today we are able to power and enable us to do it in a faster more efficient ways for our customers. I am looking forward to catch up with everyone soon, we have a lot of cool things we're doing."

Margarita Lopez the Chief of Operations Officer of AIA Philam Life explained Coffee Closing saying “This is digital end to end and can be done in 3 steps. Submit documents, Pay and Confirm. After that they can access it in under 20 minutes. AIA PhilAm Life can send details online securely, signed digitally and get it under that amount of time. It saves us time, you get instant coverage and do it before finishing a cup of coffee. The customer portal can also be accessed from anywhere, plus an entire village of customer centric PhilAm agents to help along the way. We want our promise of protection to be available and easy to claim from us, AIA Coffee Closing was born during the pandemic, and now is available on Facebook messenger without having to go to any of our centers. We talk to clients and bring this integrated platform in an agile manner. We also use analytics to see what matters to our customers.”

Ms. Necy Santiago the Head of Customer Experience explained “Our customers feedback told us our signing process was complicated and we had to do something not complicated. We want to get them onboard and assure protection. It enabled us to work on a prototype to give them offers all within the week with a design sprint. From concept to implementation in three months, we were able to overdrive our success and give it to the customers who will enjoy them. The problems which we usually not see, we saw it and a lot of them needed help, it made us realize we need to address it and bridge the gap. We took that to heart after validation, it was easy to implement and very clear in that development period. We learned our customers was ready to help us, it is also our duty to reimagine solutions and collaborate to address matters. We got a mix of people, and our customers had given us really nice feedback making our processes even better.”

Mr. Emmanuel Mendoza the Chief Technology Officer of AIA PhilAm Life says “Bracing the concept of having necessities is one concept I heard from our events. We will continue to develop technology, analytics for the fully modern architecture to scale our productivity. It will power us with better understanding of our customers, to keep our agents educated physically and digitally; to make sure we have events for them even more in the pandemic. We are in a good position to provide not to just be there but do transformation programs and be a leader globally.”

Get 25% OFF on Products at SC Johnson’s Grand Launch

I don't recommend things that I don't personally use, so here I go doing that with real adulting products I found on Shopee. I clean up a lot these days and I do it like clockwork, and I don't do it just with substandard products because I get the ones that do work to assure my family that it's clean when it looks clean.

For the family room/Sala I make sure the piano, the tables, frames and chairs to be wiped clean by using Pledge. It gets rid of germs lying around and gives furniture that certain sheen you see in new items, I like this one a lot because it leaves that lemony fresh scent that doesn't irritate my nose. I follow up with Glade Ocean Fresh so my room and entertainment area feels like a vacation even if I'm in the comforts of my room having zoom meetings all day. I use Mr. Muscle Multi-purpose Cleaner for bathroom tiles and bowl so it remains spick and span when I take a bath, it takes care of those molds and grime that I see when it gets in untouched for a couple of days. I also spray non Baygon Multi-Insect Killer in the Kitchen at night for those pesky cockroaches that try to go back in dark nooks and crannies because I do see them mostly at that time. I have managed to stop them from spreading because these are effective, you should do the same for your home. Now for those who would want to do the same, I'm letting you in on a secret as the manufacturer SC Johnson just set up shop in the Shopee App. They are taking up to 25% OFF on products and I think the savings are worth it. Don't worry because I got you covered!

Good Investments Like BRIA

2020 has not been good to us and with the advent of the pandemic lasting longer, we might have have to weather this out til next year.

The world still in uncertainty. A lot of filipinos don't know what to do at these times. Securing our future prove a lot difficult. But these days are opportune times to invest, more so in real estate. Filipinos would rather have long-term security, and that includes having homes. BRIA has always been a good place to start because it doesn't just provide the actual house, but a community with nice amenities, access to schools, churches, malls, groceries and multitude of establishments needed to live comfortably especially for families.

Getting a unit or two from BRIA homes would be a nice investment. Red Rosales their current President says "A well built and affordable house and lot unit will last through years and will increase its value over time. It remains to be what Filipinos aspire for to live in secure and safe community."

This is why they also encourage investing in a BRIA Home now. They are also providing a lot of their resources to cater to customers even at these times. This includes their online assets which they do 24/7. This is part of their duties with their Enhanced Property Management Group as Maintenance and Engineering are important functions which should never be left out. At only Php 2,994 per month, they can get a BRIA Homes unit and can be done through flexible payment schemes such as Pag-IBIG housing loans or bank financing. Their motto is Affordability (Mura) + Quality (Dekalidad) = a Beautiful BRIA Home for Every Filipino which is what they are doing now.

It's a really nice idea, and if you decide to get one today you'll be surprised at how much people would love living in BRIA homes, you might not want renting out the place and just live in it. It wouldn't be a surprise. Take action, it would be a good investment.
