ABOUT INSURANCE

“Insurance is a contract between two parties whereby one party called insurer undertakes in

exchange for a fixed sum called premiums, to pay the other party called insured a fixed

amount of money on the happening of a certain event.”

According to Patterson – “Insurance is an agreement between two parties under which one

party undertakes specified future risk of another party and compensates the loss from that

risk on payment of some consideration known as premium payable by the later.”

Insurance may be described as a social device to reduce or eliminate risk of life and property,

under the plan of insurance, a large number of people associate themselves by sharing risk,

attached to individual.

With the help pf insurance, large number of people exposed to a similar risk makes

contributions to a common fund out of which the losses suffered by the unfortunate few, due

to accidental events, are made good.

insured is required to pay to insurance company a certain amount called premium. Premium

LITERATURE REVIEW

customer perception towards Max Newyork Life Insurance MALAY SRIVASTAVA

Page 49: Customer perception towards max newyork life insurance

LITERATURE REVIEW

(BCG, 2003) Life insurance has become the most widely used means of family financial

security planning. Apart from that, it can help ensures the financial security of family, pay the

support of dependents and meet outstanding financial obligations when the policyholder dies.

Furthermore individuals and families need to become aware of the benefits, issues and

differences in various life insurance plans.

Life insurance programs are an important part of an individual’s financial plan. The

traditional view of life insurance as a commodity – simply underwriting coverage,

differentiated by price and little else evolving as communication, education, and benefit

enhancements are added. Research and trends support the evolution of employer - based life

insurance programmes from merely providing a benefit to beneficiaries at the point of claim

to a programme that is an important, vent critical components to an individual’s overall

financial plan (metlife, 2001).

There are three main types of life insurance polices in actuarial literature (Back, 2000)

including (a) whole life insurance – which provides a death benefit for lifetime (b) term life

insurance - that provide a death benefit for a limited number of years and, (c) environment

life insurance – which is a term life insurance with a saving component. In general terms, life

insurance is a way of dealing with risk and a saving medium for consumers. It also plays

important psychological and social roles. As (Hofstede, 1995) stated, the major function of

life insurance is to protect against financial loss from loss of human life. Besides covering the

risk of death, it also covers the risks of disability, critical illness, etc. Life insurance is

therefore developed on the concept of human life value (Saying, 2003). Human life value

approach focuses on the economic component of human life. Any event affecting an

individual’s earning capacity, retirement or unemployment (Black, 2000). The human life

customer perception towards Max Newyork Life Insurance MALAY SRIVASTAVA

Page 50: Customer perception towards max newyork life insurance

value concept provides the philosophical basis for thee life insurance, which is a product

deigned to protect the individual against two distinct risks Premature death and

superannuating (Browne, 1993).

J Rajesh C Jampala and B Venkiteswara Rao( insurance marketing ,ApBSLI 2005) in his

article “Sales promotion in Insurance sector (A study of LIC) asserts that, sales promotion

helps in maximizing sales volume and value besides keeping competitors at bay. Sales

promotion is generally broken into 3 major categories such as consumer oriented, trade

oriented and sales force oriented activities.

The consumer oriented promotions are a part of the promotional pull strategy. These

promotions include tax benefits, payment of bonus, provision of accidental benefits and

higher non medical limits. Tax benefit is one of the major weapons in the arsenal of strategies

at the disposal of the corporation to promote sales. The tax saving measure is the greatest

mobilize for business for the corporation. Even the Indian consumer has traditionally looked

at life insurance as an instrument for tax saving, rather than as a prudent investment decision,

or even as a protection device. Another important consumer oriented promotion of LIC is

provision of accident and disability benefits offered to the insured.

Trade promotional measures of LIC include salary saving scheme besides bringing more

occupations under insurance cover, including hazardous occupations. Salary saving scheme is

a very successful trade promotion strategy launched by the corporation to tap business from

the salaried class. LIC makes an arrangement with the employer to deduct the insurance

premium from the employee’s salary and remit it to the corporation. The basic advantage that

the corporation waives 5% additional charge on the scheme, resulting in a great benefit to the

policy holders.

customer perception towards Max Newyork Life Insurance MALAY SRIVASTAVA

Page 51: Customer perception towards max newyork life insurance

Sales force promotions offer incentives to agents to work with more and more vigor. Sales

force promotion steps of the LIC include commission, gifts, advances for the purchase of the

cars, club memberships etc. LIC has instituted a system of club membership for its agents.

The club membership also enjoys certain privileges such as telephone, provision of

stationery, secretarial allowance, concessional loans etc. However sales promotion alone

cannot achieve the results for the corporation.

Walter de Oude and Rajagopalan Krishnamurthy (health insurance, Feb 2006) in their

article “The health insurance industry in India & its growing potential” emphasis that

ensuring public health is the principal responsibility lay down by the Indian constitution. The

central government provides about 15% of the funding needs mostly for national health

programs. The family planning and healthcare initiatives of the government have so far

effective in reducing birthrates and improving mortality rates. According to the WHO report

published in 2002 India ranked 13th from the bottom in terms of public spending on health.

Although India’s public spending is low, overall health spending improved due to higher

private spending. Currently less than 15% of the Indian population has some kind of health

insurance cover.

Health insurance remains vastly underdeveloped in India. The state owned companies had

little focus upon the developing line of business on a systematic and profitable basis. The

health portfolio that had a loss ratio of about 78% in 2003 deteriorated to 98% in the

following year.

Anyway the Third Party Agreement (TPA) has however given rights to some tension between

the healthcare providers and the health insurance companies.

Jack Burke (Insurance marketing, July 2004) in his article “CROSS SELLING”emphasis

that people depend on insurance agents or brokers for the selection of and buying of policies

related to life, health, automobiles etc. but it has been found that most agents or brokers

specialize in selling policies related only to particular field. The statistics showed that the

average American had 7.2 insurance policies i.e., selling more than one policy to their client.

This can be specified as cross selling or multiline marketing. More policies per client mean

lower acquisition cost, higher client retention and greater profit.

(Source: Insurance chronicle The ICFAI University Press, July-2005)

A.Srujan (Insurance marketing July 2004) in his article “Rural insurance market in India”

States that the growth in the insurance sector is higher than the GDP growth rate of the

country. A careful analysis of postal liberalization period suggest that new insurance players

made a good start while the existing one maintained consistent growth level. The two

segments of Indian insurance market i.e., Urban and Rural have their own characteristic

features. The economic growth of the two has not been the same. But there is a fact that most

of the new insurance companies started operating from metros and urban. So they got more

opportunity to cover by several types of insurance. Moreover due to the better educational

status they got awareness about several financial and insurance products. Still there are many

opportunities in rural insurance market.

Gigantic population, growth in income level of rural population, high saving habits etc. are

some plus areas and if we exploit these areas, there in a very good scope for the growth.

Government of India makes steps to improve the conditions of the rural area. Janasree Bima

Yojna, LALGI etc. are some examples. Government made a tie with LIC and made several

scheme for rural people like Siksha Sahayog Yojna, Krishi Shrimik Samajik suraksha Yojna

etc. Anyway it is the opportunities not compulsions which would drive the old and new

players to rural India and the outcome will be steady and secured economic growth.

customer perception towards Max Newyork Life Insurance MALAY SRIVASTAVA

Page 53: Customer perception towards max newyork life insurance

Rachana Parihar (Insurance marketing, july2004) in her article “Bancassurance: challenges

& opportunities in India” emphasis that Bancassurance symbolizes the convergence of

banking & insurance. The term involves distribution of insurance products through a bank’s

branch work. While the bancassurance has become a successful story in Europe, it is

relatively a new concept in Asia. The motive behind this also varies. For banks, it is a means

of product diversification & a source of additional fee income. Insurance companies see it as

a tool for increasing their market penetration and premium turnover. The customer sees it as a

bonanza in terms of reduced price, high quality products and delivery at the doorsteps. But,

when we think about India there is a huge pool of skilled professionals whether it is banks or

insurance companies who may be easily relocated for any bancassurance venture.

Most large retail banks engender a greater deal of trust in broad segments of consumers,

which they can leverage in selling them personal line insurance Products. Another advantage

banks have over traditional insurance distributors is the lower cost per sales lead made

possible by their sizable and loyal customer base. Banks also enjoy significant brand

awareness within their geographical regions. Banks proficiency in using Technology has

resulted in improvement in transaction processing and customer service. But there are also

some short comings. The most obstacles to success are the poor human resource

management, lack of sales culture within the bank, no involvements by the branch manager,

insufficient product promotions etc.

Anyway to move beyond products oriented cross selling to customer focused crossed buying

requires a holistic approach to bancassurance. Success of a bancassurance requires change in

approach, thinking and work culture on the part of everybody involved.

Brian D Baetz (Insurance marketing, July 2003) in his article “Term insurance sales

techniques” States that today people need term insurance more than ever, so one should

learn to be efficient in its sale. Term insurance enables even those people who could

otherwise not be able to afford a sufficient amount of life insurance, to ensure that their

family will not suffer financially should they die.

He says that he point out to clients the importance of adequate coverage to protect their

families. If their income permits, he encourages them to make a coverage permanent life

insurance.

Scott Menta, ChFC,CFP,CLU, a Met Life agent from Elmsford,NYbelieves term insurance

will continue to be sold as a commodity unless the producer can demonstrate that he /she

delivers additional value . He works to help buyers understand the products convertibility

period, and the kinds of permanent products to which their term insurance can be converted.

He believes producers should recommend the appropriate amount of coverage.

LIMITATIONS

customer perception towards Max Newyork Life Insurance MALAY SRIVASTAVA

Page 78: Customer perception towards max newyork life insurance

LIMITATIONSAlthough the study was carried out with extreme enthusiasm and careful planning there are

several limitations, which handicapped the research viz,

1. Time Constraints: The time stipulated for the project to be completed is less and thus

there are chances that some information might have been left out, however due care is taken

to include all the relevant information needed.

2. Sample size: Due to time constraints the sample size was relatively small and would

definitely have been more representative if I had collected information from more

respondents.

3. Accuracy: It is difficult to know if all the respondents gave accurate information; some

respondents tend to give misleading information.

4. Availability: It was difficult to find respondents as they were busy in their schedule, and

collection of data was very difficult
