Graeme Lindsay has died
Graeme Lindsay, a life insurance industry stalwart, has died of cancer. Adviser and pioneer insurance product researcher, his presence will be remembered and missed.
Graeme Lindsay, a life insurance industry stalwart, has lost his battle with cancer. Throughout his career Lindsay worked as an adviser, was involved in an industry association, was a member of Million Dollar Round Table, and founded Strategy Financial Services, a business that provides analysis to life and health insurance agents. He was a competitor of ours and yet we will miss his presence in the industry. Whether he was writing about products or insurers he was always keen to highlight the value of good insurance coverage and identify issues that needed to be addressed. He was a pioneer in our sector.
Last December, Lindsay posted on LinkedIn explaining his situation and advocating for everyone to review their insurance cover and make sure they had the right policies and cover in place.
The funeral for Lindsay is scheduled to be held on Monday.
We will miss his voice in our sector.

Momentum Life streamline quality assurance processes using AI
Momentum Life has adopted an AI-powered compliance and quality assurance tool, QBOT (Quality Bot). QBOT transcribes call recordings from Momentum Life’s contact centre, almost in real-time, saving on expensive and time-consuming call reviews. QBOT also identifies and flags calls for further review. Employees can easily access results, monitor call compliance and focus efforts on calls and agents that need support.
Implementation of the tool has allowed Momentum Life to handle increasing workloads without expanding its workforce and is freeing up staff to focus on other aspects of quality assurance and risk management.
