    1.1 Introduction

    The strategic goal of sustaining a market share or gaining competitive

    advantage depends on effective selling skills. This skill is continuous

    development in process. Companies adopt different type of effective selling

    techniques according to environmental change and needs. It includes the need

    of continuous improvement as consumers are more informed today than in the

    past. Insurance products are different from other products. It is intangible, so

    sales people face a lot of difficulties for selling insurance products. Here

    effective selling skills are needed to be successful. Today Insurance Industry

    faces a big problem of active insurance consultants. Company either terminates

    the relationship or the consultants leave voluntarily because of insufficient

    income.

    This separation occurs in life industry after six month (due to licentiate

    examination and training process). Company and consultants magnify the

    implication of this separation in wasted resources in opportunity cost during the

    engagement period. Insurance consultant is front liner, who is only a personwho directly contacts with customers.

    Consultants do this work as a mediator between customer and company. It

    means The agent is located at the place in the organization at which the

    company financial security policy and plan are distributed to customers and

    also at the place at which services are directly provided to the customer. Agent

    provides such types of service in term of consultancy i.e. to make help in

    financial planning strategies. Insurance is relationship business. Relationship

    and emotion is the key of success in selling. People purchase insurance

    because they love their family. It is humantendency that people agree/purchase

    from such type of person who is trustworthy. Like and trust is the key in

    insurance business. Due to this reason brand and price are insignificant when

    client make a buying decision. It is seem that often people do not know much

    To find where was problem or identify problem/challenges faced by consultant.

    Set questionnaire according to problem.

    In this project, two type of data were used: a) Primary Data b) Secondary Data.

    With the help of interview and questionnaire primary data were collected for

    finding actual and realistic problems and their solutions. Secondary data were

    collected from books and Internet to go in depth of topic.

    1.2 Literature review

    In this process one can understood, how insurance is different from other

    products, why sales persons fail to sell insurance. And also realized during this

    process that motivation, behavior, characteristics and training factors affect

    man power and its ability, how to generate lead and convert into sales, how

    sales performance can be increased.

    Mostly people think that seller skill is inherent, but it is not correct. It can be

    achieved with the help of training and practices. When a person does more

    practice and gets mastered in such skill, it seems easy and natural. Professional

    salesmanship is a learned skill. Insurance sales are more complicated to general

    sales. Insurance consultant cannot show insurance product, he can only

    describe benefit with the help of verbal and non-verbal language. In this

    process he plays with another emotion and sentiment. If he wins in this game

    then he will be successful in selling and vice-versa.

    Insurance is not purchased it is sold. Here consultant faces difficulty.

    Consultant has had to do a lot of work for successful selling, such as to whom

    he is to sell (prospective client), turn prospective client to customer. Only

    insurable person can take insurance, so he has had to do segmentation and

    targeting type of work also.

    With the help of lead generation advisor can find prospective customer. There

    are several methods to lead generation such as cold calling. Cold calling can be

    a successful way to lead generation. If it is done with planning: for example

    how to cold call, when to cold call, and how much cold call to make every day

    in order to get appointment Public relation is also great way to expose in

    market. Consultant can do it with the help of trade show or he can make public

    relation with the help of promotional activity. The real key of public

    relationship is to be friendly and focus on meeting, not selling product. Many

    of the most difficult sales jobs are easy to obtain (i.e. selling specialty product

    such as house hold, hardware, life insurance or encyclopedias). They have also

    been graveyard of thousand of co-worker (Baker 1994). It means after a

    minimum qualification and passing IRDA Licentiate examination, any one are

    eligible to sale insurance policy. Due to this reason alteration rate is very high

    in insurance industry. But now insurance companies are concentrating on other

    distribution channels such as, bancassurance, Internet, NGOs, micro

    insurance. Now insurance companies are concentrating on training program

    and they recruit eligible candidate for executive trainee or other post (i.e.

    PGPMI). Selling skill can be developed such type of skill with the help of

    practice, practical training and experience.

    Behavior style and interpersonal effectiveness is also important in selling.People fit into four categories. Insurance products can be sold to them in

    different ways. Interpersonal effectiveness helps to understand in what way an

    individuals mind works and his level of interest in a particular product /policy

    which may act as guideline for the best way to approach sell for each category

    developed in two ways: formal training and sales experience gained through

    exercising the selling job over time. In formal training people know about

    product and services, which help him to explain, what he has for other.

    Secondly formal training is base of advisor carriers. In formal training people

    know which type of skill is required for effective selling and they approach

    each category in effective way.

    Life insurance products are inherently more difficult to sell compared to other

    kinds of products. Agents who are deficient in required characteristics and

    skills are unable to sell successfully and consequently they are forced to leave

    the company.

    Although some of these characteristics may be developed through lifetime, the

    skills could be taught and learned by insurance consultant can improve their

    productivity.

    3.1 Industry profile

    The insurance sector in India has come a full circle from being an open

    competitive market to nationalization and back to a liberalized market again.

    Tracing the developments in the Indian insurance sector reveals the 360-degree

    turn witnessed over a period of almost 190 years. The business of life insurance

    in India in its existing form started in India in the year 1818 with the

    establishment of the Oriental Life Insurance Company in Calcutta.

    Insurance sector growth is measured in two criteria in a country

    I. Insurance penetration = premium/GDP*100

    The value for India is 4.10, the value for Asia is 5, and the value for World is

    4.5.

    II. 2. Insurance density = premium holder/total population*100

    The value for India is 33.2, the value for Asia is 154.6, and the value for World

    is 330.6

    These figures show that insurance in India still in infant stage there is great

    headroom to insurance sector in India.

    Compared to developed and industrialized countries, India is at the lower end

    of the spectrum when it comes to penetration of the market. However has a

    young demographic profile; nearly two thirds of the population is under 30. Yet

    about 10 percent of the population is above 60. This portion is expected to risesharply. By 2030, the Indian population is expected to rise sharply. By 2030,

    the Indian population is expected to stabilize at 1.1 billion, about 20 percent of

    which will be over 60. Therefore, a great potential for the insurance industry

    lies in providing support for this segment of the populace i.e. over 220 million

    senior citizens.

    While LIC is the is the sole operator in the public sector, the following is the

    list of private companies in the Life Insurance Sector in India

    a consultant or sales manager they have other opportunities so from this we can

    deduct that people who dont has better other opportunities are only preferring

    to work as consultant, this field still suffering to attract other higher educated

    In the first row there are values with an interval of 10 up to 100, complete

    achievement of any characteristic showed as 100 percent 10 percent shows

    1/10th

    of their actual capacity there is a scope to improve nine times

    accordingly remaining values.

    In last row representing the average number of the sample falling under its

    respective percentages, by observing it last three columns there are 32 people

    achieved up to 80 to 100 percent of each characteristic.

    Degree of satisfaction has more number of consultants than other this shows

    most of the employees of bajaj Allianz are satisfied very well and next big

    value is convincing power this shows people who have more convincing power

    also have more satisfaction levels.

    Average of the last column is 10 is approximately 20 percent of the sample and

    also equal number people achieved completeness in learning capacity and

    intelligent quotient because generally people who have more learning capacity

    also have good intelligent quotient.

    Among all most of all little bit suffering to achieve completeness in emotional

    intelligence if company concentrating on to improve it this definitely helpful to

    consultants to increase their performance.

    The scope of improvement in capacities of the insurance consultant less than

    expected through training because more than 75 percent people are already

    agreed they achieved more 70 percent of their actual capacity so there is only

    1/4th people only have scope to improve nearly double of their present

    performance.

    Table of correlation was placed in annexure due to its big size.

    The values in the correlation table are standardized and ranging from 0 to 1.

    Variables ranging from 0.73 to 0.95 are highly correlated.

    Number of calls per day 0.92 correlated with building network.

    Flexible working hours 0.9 correlated with network.

    Educational qualification 0.85 correlated with building network.

    So from the above correlation values building network is directly related to

    number calls dialed by consultant, flexible working hours provided by

    company and educational qualification of insurance consultant.

    Educational qualification is 0.91 directly related with flexible working hours

    Educational qualification is 0.98 directly related with wealth maximization of

    the company. This shows that people who have higher qualification are

    preferred work in insurance sector when there is a flexible working system and

    also they try to work on long term wealth maximization not on short term

    profits.

    Statistical analysis and market update have 0.946 correlations with confidence

    Statistical analysis and market update have 0.92 correlations with wealth

    maximization.

    Statistical analysis and market update have 0.968 correlations with mode of

    communication with client.

    From the above relations one can deduct that people who are doing regular

    update and market analysis are more confident than others and they can create

    more wealth to the company. Back ground of consultant means he/she from

    rural or urban can determine the some of the aspects like emotional quotient

    0.93, availability to the client in the time of need have 0.92 correlation with

    back ground of the consultant.

    (size of the family) and dependent variable (experience).

    Null hypothesis

    Family size of the consultant is never trouble to quit the job or exchange to

    other job.

    Explanation of output:-

    The value of the pearson chi-square test clearly states that there is a significant

    relationship between dependent and independent variable.

    100-90 divided by 100 or 0.1 significant level which is more than obtained

    significance 0.056).

    There is 94.4 percent significance between the variables Family size of the

    consultant is causing trouble to his/her profession to quit the job or exchange to

    other job so the null hypothesis is rejected. That means consultants from big

    family have lower experience than people from medium size families if

    company want to recruit a employees for longer use seeing their family size

    also will be a clue to estimate their adaptability.

    From the table we can see that people have a family size 4 to 6 will have on

    average of 3 to 5 years experience in this field in particular company. people

    from smaller families are also have more experience than all.

    By observing the table there is no much difference in values of each cluster this

    shows that most of the insurance clusters are roughly with same attitude, but

    when we look into data there are four clusters that means based their response

    we can divide them into four different categories.

    Cluster 1

    The person belong to this cluster are highly concern for their clients and giving

    more importance to their satisfaction and also getting commission is less

    important than customer satisfaction. This cluster people are hard workers and

    believing that experience is most important to succeed in insurance field, may

    be because these people believe in practical experience they tempted to haveless attendance in company training classes.

    Cluster 2

    This cluster of individuals use mostly cold calling strategy, they will give more

    preference to get more commission than customer satisfaction even though they

    are not bad at that. Performance of this cluster is satisfactory but not up to the

    mark.

    Cluster 3

    The performance of this group not up to the mark even though they are giving

    less importance to get more commission than customer satisfaction because

    they are not hard workers. These groups of people are mostly using direct

    contacts and references to find out the clients. For them this is not a core

    business activity, it is a part time earning activity for them.

    Cluster 4

    People belong to this cluster are moderately hard workers .they are much

    importance to improve their customer base through direct contacts. They give

    preference to commission as well as customer satisfaction. This people will all

    attend all the training programs conducted by company. This group of people

    have good track record.

    The output factor analysis is obtained by requesting principal component

    analysis and specifying the rotation. As evident from the above table, we find

    that the three factors extracted together account for 59.46 % of the total

    variance hence we have reduced number of variables from 8 to 3 underlying

    factors.

    The variables; flexible working hours and wealth maximization have loading of

    0.80 and 0.844 on factor 1.This suggests that the factor is combination of these

    two variables therefore this factor can be interpreted as Freedom to work.

    The variables; company marketing strategies and customer satisfaction on

    factor 2. This suggests that the factor is combination of these two variables

    therefore this factor can be interpreted as Customer focused services.

    The variables; commission and incentives on factor 3. This suggests that the

    factor is combination of these two variables therefore this factor can be

    interpreted as Good payments to consultants.

    Total eight variables are reduced to three variables named as freedom to work,

    customer focused services and good payments to consultants.

    If company concentrates mainly on innovative customer oriented products

    along with better payments through commission or incentives to the insurance

    consultants and also giving flexible working hours to work these three together

    can improve the nearly 60% of company performance.

    FINDING AND CONCLUSIONS

  • 8/8/2019 2007 Version of Yesu Project

    48/63

    48

    Findings

    1) Building network is directly related to the number of calls dialed by

    consultant, flexible working hours and educational qualification of

    insurance consultant.

    2) People who have higher qualification are preferred to work in insurance

    sector when there is a flexible working system and also they try to work

    for wealth maximization basis not on profits basis.

    3) People who are updating and analyzing market are more confident than

    others and they can create more wealth to the company.

    4) Consultants who have good communication skills are also have great

    convincing power than others clients.

    5) Gender and qualification can decide the salary range of the insurance

    consultant.

    6) Most of the consultants have completed their graduation in BA, BBA,

    Bcom and Mcom. People from science and technology back ground are

    not preferring to work as a consultant or sales manager, people who

    dont has better other opportunities are only preferring to work as

    consultant, this field still suffering to attract other higher educated

    people.

    7) Insurance consultants who are much concern about customer satisfaction

    could earn more than other consultants.

    8) Insurance consultants who undergone through more Training given by

    the Bajaj Allianz Company motivating the employees to improve their

    customer satisfaction approaches.

  • 8/8/2019 2007 Version of Yesu Project

    49/63

    49

    9) Flexible working hours provided by the Bajaj Allianz Company to the

    insurance consultants and sales managers motivating them to improve

    their customer satisfaction approach.

    10)Consultant intention to earn more commission affecting their

    performance (earned commission)

    11)Nearly 60 percent of the insurance consultant performance badly

    affected by two variables is lack of communication skills and lack of

    network. There are only 20% people without having any drawback and

    remaining 80% people have at least one drawback.

    12)By getting experience insurance consultants earnings also increasing so

    salary of the insurance consultant depending on the their experience.

    13)Most of the employees of Bajaj Allianz are satisfied very well and their

    convincing power also well this shows that people who have more

    convincing power also have more satisfaction levels with their working

    company.

    14)Approximately 20 percent of the sample and also equal number people

    achieved completeness in learning capacity and intelligent quotient

    because generally people who have more learning capacity also have

    good intelligent quotient.

    15)Among all most of them are difficult to achieve completeness in

    emotional intelligence if company concentrating on it, this willdefinitely helpful to consultants to increase their performance.

    16)The scope of the insurance consultant improvement is less than expected

    through training because more than 75 percent people have already

    agreed they achieved more than 70 percent of their actual capacity so

    there is only 1/4th

    of people only have scope to improve nearly double to

    their present performance.

    50/63

    50

    17)Communication skill is most important among all and next important

    skill is confidence of the consultant these can create the trust worthy to

    the client.

    18)Importance of the each characteristic was ranked as follows by the

    insurance consultant.

    1. Communication skill

    2. Confidence

    3. Hardworking

    4. Network

    5. Soft skills

    6. Experience

    19)Insurance consultants who have good communication skills and doing

    hard work would have successful career than other because

    communicational skill can build confidence and it can increases the net

    work so those only will succeed irrespective of experience thats way

    experienced ranked least even though it is important in insurance sector.

    20)An insurance company like Bajaj Allianzs flexible working system to

    insurance consultants will boost its wealth maximization.

    21)Mainly three factors are influencing the 60 percent productivity of both

    company and insurance consultant

    CONCLUSION

    A study on productivity of insurance consultant and the reasons there off had

    given an insight on the employees of insurance company and the training given

    to them. My basic objective was to make the insurance consultants productivity

    analysis and find out the ways to develop their productivity. I could come to

    know that there are around 21 life insurance companies till date. These

    insurance companies have several plans which fulfill the needs of the

    customers. So there is a huge competition among the companies and the

    consultants in this competitive world innovative approach is must and should.

    This research can suggest the company as well as consultant where to

    concentrate more to increase productivity levels.

    Nature of work existing in the insurance industry, the kind of deadlines

    for sales managers under whom insurance consultants are working have

    to meet, the kind of pressure and levels of stress which they work under

    and the kind of recognitions given to them after they meet or exceed

    their targets.

    There is a greater scope to improve insurance consultant productivity

    through training and motivation.

    Work life satisfaction is very important both financially and non-

    financially to sustain in the field for long time.

    Interactions with consultants during surveys helped me to enhance my

    marketing skills and communication skills.
