Solution

The answer is "New sales pitches". While insurance salespeople, increased life expectancy, and statistical data on life expectancy all contributed to the proliferation of life insurance, new sales pitches did not play a significant role. This is because the growth of life insurance was more influenced by the need for financial security and the availability of statistical data that allowed for the calculation of premiums and payouts, rather than the way the insurance was marketed or sold.
