LIMRA research has found that 66% of Americans say the ability "to chat with a person" is an important factor when consumers are buying life insurance.

In the same 2017 LIMRA Barometer Study, two-thirds of the participants said the reason they did not purchase life insurance is that "it is too expensive." Yet prior LIMRA research shows consumers overestimate the cost of life insurance by as much as three times its actual cost.
