My one of the job is to recruit Financial Consultants (FCs)& another job is analysis the marketing strength of HDFC-LIFE(comparative . There are some basic criteria which are needed to follow while selecting and recruitment of FCs. I gathered contacts from friends, recharge shops and also did field work like distribution of leaflets in order to generate data base, then contacted people and ask them for the interview. I selected some candidates through this process; offer them the job of a FC. If they show their interest about the job, then I provide them necessary details, log in their forms. Initially they have to go through a 50 hours training and IRDA exam to get the IRDA license. After receiving the license, one can work as a FC. Second thing with the help of my Channel Development Executive Mr.Somnath Basu’s constant support I was able to take up the proper follow up of the candidates who thereby converted from potential to actual FC’s. The main opportunities for a FC are:
Flexible work timings - One can work full-time or part-time, depending on his/her convenience

MAJOR COMPETITORS OF HDFC LIFE & THEIR COMPETITIVE ANALYSIS:
LIFE INSURANCE CORPORATION OF INDIA (LIC):
LIC has an excellent money back policy which provides for periodic payments of partial survival
benefits as long as the policy holder is alive. 20% of the sum assured is payable after 5, 10, 15
and 20 years and the balance 40% is payable at the 20th year along with accrued bonus.

For a 25 years term , 15% of the sum assured becomes payable after 5,10,15and 20 years and the
balance 40% plus the accrued bonus becomes payable at the 25th year. An important feature of
3CET REPORT ON HDFC LIFE 15
these types of policies is that in the event of the death of the policy holder at any time within the
policy term the death claim comprises of full sum assured without deducting any of the survival
benefit amounts which have already been paid. The bonus is also calculated on the full sum
assured.
HDFC SLIC does not have a money back policy. It could offer a money back plan and capture
some portion of this market.
LIC offers 66 different plans; plans are formulated for specific occasions –whole life plans, term
assurance plans, money back plan for women, child plans, plans for the handicapped individuals,
endowment assurance plans ,plans for high worth individuals, pension plans, unit linked plans,
special plans, social security schemes – diversified portfolio of products. HDFC LIFE could
diversify its product portfolio. It could add more plans for high worth individuals and women.
ICICI PRUDENTIAL:
ICICI Prudential is a stiff competitor for HDFC SLIC. The company is a merger between ICICI
Bank which is the biggest private bank in India and Prudential Plc which is a global life
insurance company. The company has an investment plan which is market related – Invest Shield
Life. In this plan even if the market falls, the premium will be returned to investors. It is a
guaranteed plan which ensures the company carefully invests your money. The stock market
performance of ICICI Prudential is much better than HDFC SLIC. The returns on the growth
fund were 46.28%compared to the 42.70% offered by HDFC SLIC. Customers are attracted by
higher returns and this is a plus point for Prudential.
The company is very well advertised. The advertisements are showcased in movies, television,
newspapers, magazines, bill boards, radio etc. Earlier the company had an excellent brand
ambassador – Mr. Amitabh Bacchan. His promotion of the company builds trust and faith in the
minds of our people and now Shahrukh Khan having established leadership and their retail
business.
However the charges are very high in the plans offered by ICICI Prudential. It is 35% during the
first year, 15% in the next year and 3% from the third year onwards. Also a higher minimum
