PREFACE

“PRACTICAL TRAINING IS FAR BETTER THAN ROOM TEACHING ”

Practical training gives a feel of the actual difficulties faced during the work. As part of 

our summer training, we got an opportunity to work with HDFC SLIC Ltd.

Life Insurance is a mile stone in growth to the social life of the countrymen. For millions

of India’s working families, may owning a home have a dream to buy a Insurance Policy

to secure their and their children future. Our nation’s greatest opportunity now is the

chance to build a better life for our people. Recognizing this, the insurance sector has

now been regarded as a potent engine to economic growth.

The government has outlined a substantive and detailed plan, seen first in the policy of 

insurance plans, to reach this goal. Many incentives announced in the Union Budget

every year have helped to improve the affordability enormously over the past couple of 

years.

All this has led to an enormous increase in the demand for Life Insurance and thus, in the

 banks/ institutions providing this finance. The present scenario has led to the steadyevolution of especially Life Insurance with different return plans for different age group

of people.

About the marketing strategy

The study of the survey shows that there are a lot of possibilities in the market for 

standard life insurance products due to their unique features. To get the benefit of this

opportunity the company should consider the following points.

• The study shows that there is less awareness for the company’s plans in market.

So it is suggested to the company to make aware about its planning and insurance

 products.

• The executive or management should focus on the poor people also and should

 place the policies affordable, at the present minimum amount of the policy

 premium is 5000, which poor people can not afford.

• Company should recruit new agents or consultants. It is necessary for company to

trend them in a well manner therefore they will gave good results.

• Company should open costumer service point in rural areas and small city also.

• Company should make plans for promotion of company business lit should

organize road shows seminars, exhibition or contests because these things make a

clear picture of company’s plans.

  Justification of the study

  Channel development is an

important aspect of most of the organization. Here most of insurance companies are dependent on the channel. Basically

insurance companies are related with the direct selling of the

insurance policy. In the present scenario, every insurance company

give the good competition to each other. I gained to the selling

experience with the help of this topic . Basically insurance company

so much dependent on its channel . More the channel more the

policy sold and by which earn more benefits also. Channel also help

to provide the better service after sale by which company became

more loyal among the people.

Channel is the vein of the insurance company as

the vein are important for human body same role of channel in the

insurance company. So I choose this project during my summer training .I

gained lot of experience with the help of channel development.

In making the financial consultant, I enjoyed very

much because in this case to study the perception of the people what they want

,How much work should be given to the company, They are important or not

.Same case happened with Fc, how to sale the policy to the people . During the

summer training I found that it not the easy task to take people in the new

 business. They came only when they found something for them.

Overall I got lot of experience with the help channel

development. I also recruit 9 person for the part time job that is financial

consultant. I was satisfied with my training project because I gained theexperience of direct selling.

7/27/2019 hdfc std life.DOC

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/hdfc-std-lifedoc 19/121

Channel development procedure has a great importance in every

organization. In the insurance sector it means recruitment of advisors (agents).

So that company can maximize its sale. For every insurance company these are

only advisors who sell the final product of the company. Therefore sale of the

company is directly proportional to the length of the channel that is number of the

advisors. So amongst the various important objectives of the project, one was

“Channel Development”.

The other main objectives of the research done for the company were:

1 to find the perception of the people about the company,

2 to find the awareness level of the people about the company and its

products,

3 to know about the competitors position,

4 for what purpose people take life insurance policies,

5 to increase the company’s database of prospects,

6 to know about the people who do not have any information about the,

private players in the life insurance sector so that company can tap those

segments also,

7 to know that how much people are interested in working with the

organization.

What is insurance?

In the simple words Insurance is a financial service for collecting the savings of 

the public and providing them risk coverage. This risk may be certain events like

death, retirement, pension, education, marriage, etc. or uncertain events, like

theft, accident, fire, ill-health, etc. . This will constitute voluntary involvement in

savings, but turn into compulsory or forced savings through contractual

obligation.

. Premium from those who do not suffer the loss are used to as benefits to those

who do. The insurance firm is contractually obligated to make the benefits

payments. If premium revenues are not sufficient to cover losses, the firm must

make up the difference out of capital.

23

7/27/2019 hdfc std life.DOC

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/hdfc-std-lifedoc 24/121

Characteristics of insurance:

Every insurance contract has the followings characteristics:

1 Transferring or shifting of a risk from one individual to a group

2 Sharing losses on some equitable basis, by all members of groups

2 Insurance does not eliminate or decrease the uncertainty for the

individual as to whether or not the event will occur, not does it alter the

possibility of occurrence, but it does reduce the extent of financial loss

connected with the event.

12. Principles Of Insurance (INSURANCE INSTITUTEE OF INDIA)

insurers. In 1956, LIC act was passed under which life insurance was

nationalized and LIC was set up by taking over the business of about 245 large

and medium companies doing business of life insurance. LIC has regional and

zonal offices, in addition District and Taluka units. In all districts, rural and semi

urban areas are covered by the LIC offices. LIC has a monopoly of life business.

It has set up the LIC mutual fund for mobilizing savings of the public, particularly

from rural and some urban areas and provides a good return to investors.

14. Study Material of LIFE INSURANCE CORPORATION

Human Life Value concept:7 Human Life Value (HLV) is the net present value of one's future

earnings. Put simply, it is the amount that a person's family would

permanently lose, should anything unfortunate happen to that person.

Let's assume that a person is 30 years old and earn Rs. 4, 00,000 per 

annum. Now, if his retirement age is 55 he have 25 years to go before

retirement. So his Human Life Value is (25 x 4, 00, 000) = Rs. 100, 00,

000 (One Crore rupees), provided he stay healthy. If we take factors

like inflation and increase in income over a period of time into account,

his Human Life Value is a lot more. In this situation if any things

29

7/27/2019 hdfc std life.DOC

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/hdfc-std-lifedoc 30/121

happens wrong, only the life insurance policy which he has taken

earlier, can give protection to his family members

FOCUS OF THE STUDY

For the purpose of channel development we have focused on the suspects who

were satisfying some certain parameters like:

1 Those who are in the age group of 25-40 yrs.

2 Those who are at least graduates

3 Those who have spare time to work

4 Those who are having additional professional qualification like C.A.’s,

M.B.A.’s etc.

5 Those who are having prior sales experience

6 Those who need recognition and money

So that we would have made the recruitment of quality advisors.

As we know that till 1999 LIC has monopoly in insurance sector. No

other company was in competition of it. It is a nationalize company. But

after 2000 there are many private insurance player which providing better 

services in insurance and also offering better plans to the people. But this

is a reality that LIC has a much more market share in insurance industry

and this is going to reduce gradually due to private player. But it is a hard

core fact that people in villages, town and city think that LIC is

 I can apply the MDS between the satisfaction levels of people towards the

HDFC SLIC Ltd. After applying the scale stress is only 0.149 which means my

aim of the project was successful. Here the stress is less than 1. Deviation

between the standard results is less it lies near the standard line so finding is

good and more relevant.

LIMITATIONS

82

7/27/2019 hdfc std life.DOC

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/hdfc-std-lifedoc 83/121

The various limitations those were faced while doing the project are as

follow:

1 Time available :- I had only 42 day for my summer training which

are not enough for research on the project.

2 Unwillingness of the respondents :- People could not give the

response due to lake of timing .

3 Geographical area :- The geographical area was very much wide

so the results are not very reflecting the current market behavior 

very much.

4 Lack of adequate standards:- Standard of the financial consultant

was not good be lot of thing in this area could not tell to the

customer.

5 Narrow scope :- In the future many private companies entered In

this sector due to which growth rate is less for the Fc.

83

7/27/2019 hdfc std life.DOC

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/hdfc-std-lifedoc 84/121

6 Lack of cooperation :- People could not give to me proper 

response without any motive.

7 Lack of experience:- I could not have the proper knowledge of this

sector due to which some time I could not clearify terms.

8 Communication gap during understanding the plan to the

customer 

9 As the human behavior is not constant so the results collected through

questionnaire may or may not apply to future period of time

RECOMMENDATIONS

92

7/27/2019 hdfc std life.DOC

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/hdfc-std-lifedoc 93/121

FINDINGS

Most important findings of the summer training are:

1 Most of the people contacted were aware of the company who

were having the knowledge of private life insurance sector. But the

awareness level was only up to the HDFC brand awareness. They

were not having much knowledge about the company or the

company’s product.

2 People rank the company better then from the competitors but

when they asked about the competitive advantage most of them could not

explain.

3 Most of the people were interested in working part time with the

company but when they came to know that the job is of advisor (agent),

most of them quit.

4 other people who were interested in becoming the advisor of 

the company even after they got the knowledge about the job profile,

most of them quit again because of the following reasons:

a) Obligation to undergo 100 hours training hours

b) Obligation to deposit a fee of Rs. 650 (later on, which has become

Rs.1000)

c) Unwillingness of relatives or friends

93

7/27/2019 hdfc std life.DOC

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/hdfc-std-lifedoc 94/121

6 Person who have decided that to whom they will consider when they

will be willing to take a life insurance policy, were not very strict on

their opinion

7 Most of the people who were educated (at least graduate) have

preferred the private life insurance company in comparison of the LIC.

8 Most of the people who were uneducated have preferred LIC because

of that LIC is a public sector company.

9 Most of people were having the positive attitude towards the company

and the negative attitude towards the company was not because of the

company itself but it was because of the HDFC brand in most of the

cases.

94

7/27/2019 hdfc std life.DOC

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/hdfc-std-lifedoc 95/121

RECOMMENDATIONS

The recommendations after studying the findings and the observations are asfollows:

1 The company needs to make people aware more and more about its

competitive advantages over its competitors and about the company’s

products.

2 Company has to reduce the initial amount of fee which the person has

to pay with the application form to become an advisor as the fee of the

company’s competitor’s is very low.

3 Company should approach to those people also who have not yet

decided that which company they will consider while taking a insurance

policy.

4 Company should try to change the preference of the people who are

uneducated from LIC to private sector insurance company by making

them aware that our company is also as safest as a public sector 

company.

5 Company can increase its business by focusing on the people from

science background as most of them are not aware about the private

insurance players but prefers the private sector company than the

government because of better services in the private sector.

7/27/2019 hdfc std life.DOC

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/hdfc-std-lifedoc 97/121

During the training I face lot of problem to tell the people about the part time job

and plans of HDFC SLIC because of others company which do not tell the proper 

information about the part time job and also can not tell the hidden cost on the

policy .Due to which people can not faith on me . After that I give suggestion to

my trainer MR. Rahul jain (SDM) who talk with the branch manager Mr. Subodh

Gupta and implication on my some suggestion .These implication are as

following :-

• Called calling could be start by the team members of all SDM(sales development manager ) .

• To aware the people about the HDFC SLIC Ltd. by advertisement methodto put the install at the main spot of the city where more people coming for shopping o any other purpose.

• They reduced the re-appear exam fee for those candidate who can not setin the exam .

I also give other suggestion on which on which they also give attention but notimply.

CONCLUSION

98

7/27/2019 hdfc std life.DOC

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/hdfc-std-lifedoc 99/121

According to the survey we came to the conclusion that most of the people like the

insurance services. Serviceman, professional and students every person wants to come

into the insurance sector up to certain extent depending upon the interest land the

surrounding conditions.

Mostly the people who are residing in the local area more than 3 year they are interested

as they know every aspect of life on that locality. They know the mentality and the

financial conditions and the nature of that particular area. So only they have shown more

interest in the insurance in the local area market, and only they are successful in the local

area. As the stranger can never successful in unknown market other thing is that the

 persons who have the part time job they are also interested in it.

The person are also affected by the family situations, the people having more earning

hand they can think of extra activities like this, they can spare the time for these kind of 

activity. But if he is a single person then he can not think about this.

The enthusiasm of the people is also very important thing. A person who has every kind

of ability but he is not enthusiastic then he will not be able to do this type of job.

A experienced person has better opportunity then an inexperienced person the company

or the organization has also advantage by recruiting the experienced person as the

training time and training cost along with the communication skills they are saved. As the

 person is already familiar with these kind of marketing environment, so the company can

only tell them about the products and the other expenses are saved.The marketing

opportunity is very bright as the 62% of the total population in uninsured so the

organization should take advantage of this condition and should recruit the most

desirable, skilled, enthusiastic, free minded and intelligent ‘Financial consultant’, so that

they can explore the market with minimum time and maximum profit to the organization.
