Page 4: Market research and customer satisfaction at kotak mahindra life insurance co. ltd by sachin bhutkar  marketing

As the company was new and it was yet to be marketed to a large number of

customers, it was essential to know the feedback of customers in order to

formulate effective marketing and sales strategies in future and improve the

quality of service to achieve better consumer satisfaction.

The site visits and companing made us possible to measure the satisfaction

of consumer by identifying the attributes, which gave consumer-varying

degrees of satisfaction.

Questionnaire based on company format some attributes like requirement of

customer and sales services offered by company were identified as critical

(motivational) factors for providing satisfaction to consumers, while other

factors like excisable deposit center, premium collocation was time to time and

also intimation regaining before the collocation of premium. But absence of

such hygienic factors definitely results in a dissatisfied consumer.

Page 5: Market research and customer satisfaction at kotak mahindra life insurance co. ltd by sachin bhutkar  marketing

These hygienic factors could result in selling but their absence can certainly

unseal the product offering.

For this a questionnaire was prepared which gave a vague idea about the

people who were really interested and wanted to know about various new

opportunities in the insurance sector. Go through questionnaire in different

INTRODUCTION

Wherever there is uncertainty there is risk. The risk cannot be averted. The

risk is uncertainty of the financial loss. We don t have any command on

uncertainties. This makes it essential that we think in favor of a device that

becomes instrumental in spreading the loss. It is in this context that we think

about insurance.

Protection against the possible chances of generating uncertain losses. It

eliminates worries and miseries of losses or destruction of property and death.

Life insurance is a contract between you and a life insurance company,

which provided you a death during the contract term.

Buying insurance is extremely useful if you are the principal earning member

in the family unfortunate premature demise, your family can remain financially

secure because of the life that you have purchased.

The primary purpose of life insurance is therefore protection of the family

in the even insurance is also seen as a tool to plan effectively for your future

years. Your retiren children s future needs. Today, the market offers

insurance plans that not just cover your same time grow your wealth too.

If you have dependants and financial responsibilities toward them, then you

certainly need.

Having a family means dependant, which in turn means financial

commitments. Finance comes in the form of loans, children s education,

Page 9: Market research and customer satisfaction at kotak mahindra life insurance co. ltd by sachin bhutkar  marketing

medical expenses etc. Imagine what would happen if you were to lose your

life suddenly or become disabled being insured in a situation like this is a

necessity.

When you insured your life, in effect what you are doing insuring your earning

capacity that your dependents will be able to continue living without

financial hardships even in case

Most insurance plans available today come with a savings element built into

it. These policies not only for a financially independents future, which were

have a comfortable retirement. For example. Kotak preferred Retirement plans

such as income plan and kotak Multiplier plan. Most insurance plans available

today have a bailt in saving elements. Kotak preferred Retirement plans meet

your dual financial goals of life cover and savings for the future. Collateral

security.

Life wasn t designed to be risk free. The key is not to eliminate risk, but to

estimate it Accurately and manage it wisely.

Insurance sector have characteristic that give can boost to the growth of any

economy .it is due to the savings done at the individual level and at micro level

it generates funds for infrastructure building as the cash flow is constant while

the payout is differed, so that the insurance companies are becoming biggest

investors in long gestation infrastructure development projects and hence have

a great Importance to the developing economy like India. Insurance sector with

an annual growth rate of 15-20% and the largest number of life insurance

policies in force, the potential of the Indian insurance industry is huge.
