Executive Summary
Identifying different profiles of the people and giving them an additional source of
income to join Reliance Life Insurance as a Financial Advisor.
A market survey was done on life insurance companies. Different questions regarding
the companies training program for advisor, top 5usp‘s, training centers etc. were
asked. The areas covered up in this survey were Civil lines and .Azad nagar. The report
contains details of different life insurance companies, which are in healthy competition
of Reliance Life Insurance.
In today‘s era, the insurance industry is one of the most booming sectors. India itself
has population of 1-12 billion out of which roughly 33.2 % people are insured. This
clearly shows that most of the people are not insured just because they don‘t know
much about insurance. Most people have some common queries about life insurance.

What is life insurance?
A policy that will pay a specified sum of beneficiaries upon the death of insured person.
An agreement that guarantees the payment of stated amount monetary benefits upon
the death of the insured person.
Why insurance?
Insurance is the protection of life and assets against unforeseen circumstances.
Whether it is general accident policy, a Mediclaim policy or a pension policy, an
insurance policy helps you to scope with uncertainty and insecurity.
Ever though about why you should take an insurance policy. For one, it helps you to
hedge risks against unforeseen circumstances and save more. It that‘s not all, it is:
 Superior to an ordinary savings plan as it provides full protection against the risk of
death.
 Encourages and forces compulsory savings unlike other savings instruments,
wherein the saved money can be easily withdrawn.
 Provides loan to tie over a temporary difficult phase and is also acceptable as
security for a commercial loan.
10
 Offers tax relief to policyholder.
 Hedges risk against uncertainity.
 For a policy taken under the MWP Act 1874, (Married Women‘s Property Act), a
trust is created for wife and children as beneficiaries.
 Based on the concept of sharing of losses, the society will benefit as catastrophic
losses are spread globally.
Who is an Insurance advisor?
An advisor is the representative of an insurance company who sells different
policies or product to its clients. They have to do financial planning of his clients
and sell policies to them. They are paid on the commission basis
Who can buy a life insurance policy?
Any person above 18 years of age, who is eligible to enter into a valid contract,
can go for an insurance policy. Subject to certain conditions, a policy can be
taken on the life of a spouse or children.
11
How is a life insurance policy useful?
Planning for the financial consequences of a premature death is an essential part
of every financial plan. Generally, the consequences are simply too large to
ignore and cannot be totally covered with your own resources. Life insurance is
nothing but contract with an insurance company under which is insured
(purchaser) pays a premium in exchange for coverage of specified issues. Life
insurance is protecting your family against the risk of premature death of you (or
your spouse). Life insurance planning should consider your family‘s short term
needs (for example, medical expenses) and long-term needs (for example,
replacing your income),
In course of our life w are accosted by risk-that of failing health, financial losses,
accidents and so on. Insurance is mean by which life‘s uncertainties are addressed in
financial terms. It offers a monetary compensation against those losses. Insurance is
considered more as a hedging mechanism rather than a true investment avenue. Life
insurance, in particular is essentially acknowledged as mechanism that eliminates risk-
substituting certainty for uncertainty primarily by transferring risk from the insured to the
insurer.
12
Is life insurance a saving instrument?
Life insurance is mainly considered as a saving instrument rather than an investment
avenue as it promotes compulsory savings besides reducing tax burden on the
policyholder and protects the family of policyholder in the event of unforeseen
happening. It is the only saving instrument, which covers risk besides giving tax
concession both at entry (premium paid) and exit point. The section 10(D) of the income
tax act totally exempts payment of tax on any amount received as bonus against life
insurances policies.
Types of Insurance Plans
Traditional or Unit Linked
Broadly, insurance plans can be distinctly divided into ULIPs and traditional plans. A

14

risk appetite. Some of the common features of traditional plans are:
 Steady Investment
 Major chunk of investible funds are in debt instruments
 Steady and almost assured returns over the long term
 Features

Another term used for insurance agents is advisors; Reliance Life Insurancelife
insurance company Ltd introduced this term.

system. Advisors/agents do not work on monthly payroll basis; they receive a certain
commission on the policies they sell to the clients. The eligibility required to become an

METHODOLOGY USED TO RECRUIT ADVISORS
The basic aim of the company in providing us with this assignment was to find out the
people‘s perception of their brand in the market and via this increasing their advisor
base by encashing on their brand name.
1) Hence, our sales pitch in recruiting the good profile advisor was based on:
 Money:
For those who are needy, greedy and speedy
 Excellent back end support, attractive payments and benefits and
76
 Extensive training for that edge over competition
 Reward and Recognition
For those who want to be recognized and honored
 Several programs including foreign trips, seminars etc.
 Selected club memberships like president‘s club, MDRT club etc.
 Achievements rewarded with trophies and certificates as well with
Point rewards to give you a flying start.
 Carrier Prospects
For people who want to climb the success ladder fast.
 Programs like PINNACLE, AGENCY CHAMPION and TIGER TEAM
has been devised.
This whole strategy was based on the MASLOW‗s THEORY OF NEEDS.
2) Then, instead of going personally and meeting these already well-established
Advisors, we tried the concept of holding BOP ( Business Opportunity
presentation)And result was good in the sense that we were able to convert 5 to
10 advisors for our company then and there only.
77
3) Then, we targeted high profile people like CA‘s or MBA‘s or govt. employee
For that, we drafted a letter in which we just gave them a hang of what our
proposal was for them (for recruiting them as our advisors) and asked them to
contact us themselves if they are interested.
We got at least 10-15 calls of people who were interested and wanted to become
our advisors. Meetings were held with them.
78
79
SWOT ANALYSIS
Strength
 Vast untapped market:
In a country of 1 billion people there is a huge potential market for life insurance
products. In India the penetration of the insurance sector in the rural and semi-urban
areas is low. There is a market of 900 million for life insurance and 200 million for
householder‘s insurance policy. In addition to this the affluent section can be tapped for
Overseas Mediclaim and Travel Insurance policies.
 Huge pool of skilled professionals:
Whether it is banks or insurance companies, there is no dearth of skilled
professionals in India to carry out a successful banc assurance venture.
Weakness:
 Lack of networking among bank branches
In spite of growing emphasis on total branch mechanization (TBM) and full
computerization of bank branches, the rural and semi-urban banks have still to see
information technology as an enabler. Complete integration of branch network involves
huge investments for creation IT and communication infrastructure.
80
 Low savings rate
Though we have a huge market for insurance policies, the middle class who
constitutes the bulk of this market is today burdened under inflationary pressures. The
secret lies in including savings habit but considering the amount of surplus funds
available with the middle class for investing in future security, the ability to save is very
nominal.
Opportunities:
 Data mining:
Banks have a huge customer database which has to be properly
leveraged. Target segments should be identified and tapped.
 Wide distribution networks of banks provides a great opportunity to sell insurance
products through banks
 Another potential area of growth of banc assurance is exploiting the corporate
customers and tying up for insurance of the employees of corporate clients.
Threats:
 Human Resource Challenges
81
Success in banc assurance venture requires a change in mindset. Though we have a
large talent pool, the inability to sell complex insurance products on the part of bank
professionals and their reluctance to learn can be severe setback. There has to be a
change in the thinking, approach and work culture.
 Non-response from the target groups can also pose a challenge.
82
FUTURE GROWTH PROSPECTS OF
COMPANY
In the total market share, LIC has reduced its share from 91% to 70%. This means that
private insurance players have got more margins in their hands which have increased
from 9% to 30% in last 2years only.
In the private market share, Reliance life leads with 39% of the market share in its hand
followed by Bajaj Allianz with 18% shares and then comes BirlaSun Life with 15%
market shares.
Reliance life has been maintaining its NO 1 position since last 5 years because of its
prolific product range and commanding brand equity. It has a highest capital base of Rs.
925 crores and a team of more than 56,300 week-trained advisors. It enjoys a brand
recall rate of 92% and gives credit of its success to the 5 core values-
 Integrity
 Customer
 Boundary Less
 Ownership
 Passion
83

housing finance provider, HDFC and Europe‘s largest mutual life assurance The

industry for 175 Years by combining sound financial judgment with integrity and

RECOMMENDATIONS
 An insurance policy is a product, which needs a lot of convincing before it can
be sold because what I analyzed in this internship that there are very few
people who have a basic knowledge about life insurance especially the lower
middle class society. So, it is essential for the advisor to know what the
customer actually needs and then letting the customer know what benefits he
will get out of it.
 The limitation here is how to win the trust of people when so many companies
are offering the same product range. Here, Reliance need to encash brand
name because after the survey I conducted what I concluded is that after LIC if
people know any other insurance company is then it is Reliance life.
 Instead of approaching these good profile agents personally, the company can
hold Seminars or Club Meeting because every one comes for free lunches.
Once they come, they can be given Business Opportunity presentation about
the incentive, commission structure etc Reliance life is offering to its advisors.
87
88
LIMITATIONS
 Convincing people to invest in insurance products is challenging.
 Due to Lack of time sufficiency research on all the investment products is
difficult.
 The study is based on both primary as well as secondary data and has the
limitations pertaining to the usage of both kinds of data.
 Respondents may be biased while filling the questionnaire The survey
sample is not very large for analysis

CONCLUSION
The Indian Insurance Industry has suddenly witness a major boom. The market for
Insurance business is found vast; the potential policyholders are in a very good number.
And their needs and requirements are not identical.The market share of life insurance
business is comparatively superior to general insurance business. Free markets and
globalization have increased competition in the changed scenario; life insurance
business has to reengineer its approaches and strategies on quality basis.
1. The analysis revealed that it‘s not just a myth that people avert from private
companies but is a harsh reality.
2. LIC enjoys credibility over other private players in the industry.
3. Out of 250 sampled people just 90 of them have taken some policies from the
private companies, which is actually small in number.
4. People who had taken various policies from the private companies are fully satisfied
because of the attractive returns, capital guarantee on some plans and easy liquidity
as one of the major factors.
5. People look for handsome returns along with security in all of their investment plans.
Although insecurity is one major factor that avert people to invest in the private
companies.
6. Many people in the market were not aware of the fact that IRDA governs the
functioning of all the private companies along with LIC.
7. People‘s faith in the private players actually increased after the IRDA regulation fact
was revealed to them.
8. There are many people who are greatly influenced by their natural circle while some
are ignorant about the existence of the private insurance players and the plans they
91
are offering and the rest of the surveyed people have already taken some policies
from LIC and are pretty satisfied.

A market survey was done on life insurance companies. Different questions regarding the companies training program for advisor, top 5usp‘s, training centers etc. were asked. The areas covered up in this survey were Civil lines and .Azad nagar. The report contains details of different life insurance companies, which are in healthy competition of Reliance Life Insurance. In today‘s era, the insurance industry is one of the most booming sectors. India itself has population of 1-12 billion out of which roughly 33.2 % people are insured.

  • 10. 9 What is life insurance? A policy that will pay a specified sum of beneficiaries upon the death of insured person. An agreement that guarantees the payment of stated amount monetary benefits upon the death of the insured person. Why insurance? Insurance is the protection of life and assets against unforeseen circumstances. Whether it is general accident policy, a Mediclaim policy or a pension policy, an insurance policy helps you to scope with uncertainty and insecurity. Ever though about why you should take an insurance policy. For one, it helps you to hedge risks against unforeseen circumstances and save more. It that‘s not all, it is:  Superior to an ordinary savings plan as it provides full protection against the risk of death.  Encourages and forces compulsory savings unlike other savings instruments, wherein the saved money can be easily withdrawn.  Provides loan to tie over a temporary difficult phase and is also acceptable as security for a commercial loan.
  • 11. 10  Offers tax relief to policyholder.  Hedges risk against uncertainity.  For a policy taken under the MWP Act 1874, (Married Women‘s Property Act), a trust is created for wife and children as beneficiaries.  Based on the concept of sharing of losses, the society will benefit as catastrophic losses are spread globally. Who is an Insurance advisor? An advisor is the representative of an insurance company who sells different policies or product to its clients. They have to do financial planning of his clients and sell policies to them. They are paid on the commission basis Who can buy a life insurance policy? Any person above 18 years of age, who is eligible to enter into a valid contract, can go for an insurance policy. Subject to certain conditions, a policy can be taken on the life of a spouse or children.
  • 12. 11 How is a life insurance policy useful? Planning for the financial consequences of a premature death is an essential part of every financial plan. Generally, the consequences are simply too large to ignore and cannot be totally covered with your own resources. Life insurance is nothing but contract with an insurance company under which is insured (purchaser) pays a premium in exchange for coverage of specified issues. Life insurance is protecting your family against the risk of premature death of you (or your spouse). Life insurance planning should consider your family‘s short term needs (for example, medical expenses) and long-term needs (for example, replacing your income), In course of our life w are accosted by risk-that of failing health, financial losses, accidents and so on. Insurance is mean by which life‘s uncertainties are addressed in financial terms. It offers a monetary compensation against those losses. Insurance is considered more as a hedging mechanism rather than a true investment avenue. Life insurance, in particular is essentially acknowledged as mechanism that eliminates risk- substituting certainty for uncertainty primarily by transferring risk from the insured to the insurer.
  • 13. 12 Is life insurance a saving instrument? Life insurance is mainly considered as a saving instrument rather than an investment avenue as it promotes compulsory savings besides reducing tax burden on the policyholder and protects the family of policyholder in the event of unforeseen happening. It is the only saving instrument, which covers risk besides giving tax concession both at entry (premium paid) and exit point. The section 10(D) of the income tax act totally exempts payment of tax on any amount received as bonus against life insurances policies. Types of Insurance Plans Traditional or Unit Linked Broadly, insurance plans can be distinctly divided into ULIPs and traditional plans. A brief detail of both segments: Unit Linked Insurance Product: ULIPs have gained high acceptance due to attractive features they offer. These include:  Flexibility  Flexibility to choose Sum Assured.
  • 14. 13  Flexibility to choose premium amount.  Option to change level of Premium /Sum Assured even after the plan has started.  Flexibility to change asset allocation by switching between funds  Transparency  Charges in the plan & net amount invested are known to the customer  Convenience of tracking one‘s investment performance on a daily basis.  Liquidity  Option to withdraw money after few years (comfort required in case of exigency)  Low minimum tenure.  Partial / Systematic withdrawal allowed  Fund Options  A choice of funds (ranging from equity, debt, cash or a combination)  Option to choose your fund mix based on desired asset allocation
  • 15. 14 Traditional Plans: These are the oldest types of plans available. These plans cater to customers with a low risk appetite. Some of the common features of traditional plans are:  Steady Investment  Major chunk of investible funds are in debt instruments  Steady and almost assured returns over the long term  Features  Death benefit is Sum Assured + guaranteed & vested bonus  Helps in asset creation as they are for a long tenure  Premium to Sum Assured ratios are fixed for each plan and age.  Generally withdrawals are not allowed before maturity Tax Benefits on Insurance and Pension Life insurance and retirement plans are effective ways of saving taxes. The tax breaks that are available under our various insurance and pension policies are described below:

  • 76. 75 METHODOLOGY USED TO RECRUIT ADVISORS The basic aim of the company in providing us with this assignment was to find out the people‘s perception of their brand in the market and via this increasing their advisor base by encashing on their brand name. 1) Hence, our sales pitch in recruiting the good profile advisor was based on:  Money: For those who are needy, greedy and speedy  Excellent back end support, attractive payments and benefits and
  • 77. 76  Extensive training for that edge over competition  Reward and Recognition For those who want to be recognized and honored  Several programs including foreign trips, seminars etc.  Selected club memberships like president‘s club, MDRT club etc.  Achievements rewarded with trophies and certificates as well with Point rewards to give you a flying start.  Carrier Prospects For people who want to climb the success ladder fast.  Programs like PINNACLE, AGENCY CHAMPION and TIGER TEAM has been devised. This whole strategy was based on the MASLOW‗s THEORY OF NEEDS. 2) Then, instead of going personally and meeting these already well-established Advisors, we tried the concept of holding BOP ( Business Opportunity presentation)And result was good in the sense that we were able to convert 5 to 10 advisors for our company then and there only.
  • 78. 77 3) Then, we targeted high profile people like CA‘s or MBA‘s or govt. employee For that, we drafted a letter in which we just gave them a hang of what our proposal was for them (for recruiting them as our advisors) and asked them to contact us themselves if they are interested. We got at least 10-15 calls of people who were interested and wanted to become our advisors. Meetings were held with them.

  • 80. 79 SWOT ANALYSIS Strength  Vast untapped market: In a country of 1 billion people there is a huge potential market for life insurance products. In India the penetration of the insurance sector in the rural and semi-urban areas is low. There is a market of 900 million for life insurance and 200 million for householder‘s insurance policy. In addition to this the affluent section can be tapped for Overseas Mediclaim and Travel Insurance policies.  Huge pool of skilled professionals: Whether it is banks or insurance companies, there is no dearth of skilled professionals in India to carry out a successful banc assurance venture. Weakness:  Lack of networking among bank branches In spite of growing emphasis on total branch mechanization (TBM) and full computerization of bank branches, the rural and semi-urban banks have still to see information technology as an enabler. Complete integration of branch network involves huge investments for creation IT and communication infrastructure.
  • 81. 80  Low savings rate Though we have a huge market for insurance policies, the middle class who constitutes the bulk of this market is today burdened under inflationary pressures. The secret lies in including savings habit but considering the amount of surplus funds available with the middle class for investing in future security, the ability to save is very nominal. Opportunities:  Data mining: Banks have a huge customer database which has to be properly leveraged. Target segments should be identified and tapped.  Wide distribution networks of banks provides a great opportunity to sell insurance products through banks  Another potential area of growth of banc assurance is exploiting the corporate customers and tying up for insurance of the employees of corporate clients. Threats:  Human Resource Challenges
  • 82. 81 Success in banc assurance venture requires a change in mindset. Though we have a large talent pool, the inability to sell complex insurance products on the part of bank professionals and their reluctance to learn can be severe setback. There has to be a change in the thinking, approach and work culture.  Non-response from the target groups can also pose a challenge.

  • 87. 86 RECOMMENDATIONS  An insurance policy is a product, which needs a lot of convincing before it can be sold because what I analyzed in this internship that there are very few people who have a basic knowledge about life insurance especially the lower middle class society. So, it is essential for the advisor to know what the customer actually needs and then letting the customer know what benefits he will get out of it.  The limitation here is how to win the trust of people when so many companies are offering the same product range. Here, Reliance need to encash brand name because after the survey I conducted what I concluded is that after LIC if people know any other insurance company is then it is Reliance life.  Instead of approaching these good profile agents personally, the company can hold Seminars or Club Meeting because every one comes for free lunches. Once they come, they can be given Business Opportunity presentation about the incentive, commission structure etc Reliance life is offering to its advisors.
