    There are two legislations that govern the sector-

    The Insurance Act- 1938 the IRDA Act- 19

    Historical Perspective

    In 1818 it was conceived as a means to provide for English Widows.The Bombay Mutual Life Insurance Society started its business in 1870.It was the first company to charge same premium for both Indian and non-Indian

    lives.

    The Oriental Assurance Company was established in 1880.Till the end ofnineteenth century insurance business was almost entirely in the

    hands of overseas companies.

    Insurance regulation formally began in India with the passing of the LifeInsuranceCompanies Act of 1912 and the provident fund Act of 1912.

    Several frauds during 20's and 30's sullied insurance business in India.By 1938 there were 176 insurance companies.The first comprehensive legislation was introduced with the Insurance Act of1938

    that provided strict State Control over insurance business.

    The insurance business grew at a faster pace after independence.The Government of India in 1956, brought together over 240 private life insurers

    and provident societies under one nationalized monopoly corporation and Life

    Insurance Corporation (LIC) was born.

    Nationalization was justified on the grounds that it would create much needed fundsfor rapid industrialization.

    Important milestones in the life insurance business in India:

    1912 The Indian Life Assurance Companies Act enacted as the first statute to regulate the life

    insurance business.

    1928: The Indian Insurance Companies Act enacted to enable the government to collect

    statistical information about both life and non-life insurance businesses.

    1938: Earlier legislation consolidated and amended to by the Insurance Act with the

    objective of protecting the interests of the insuring public.

    1956: 245 Indian and foreign insurers and provident societies taken over by the central

    government and nationalised. LIC formed by an Act of Parliament- LIC Act 1956- with a

    capital contribution of Rs. 5 crore from the Government of India.

    Insurance Sector Reforms

    In 1993, Malhotra Committee- headed by former Finance Secretary and RBI Governor R.N.

    Malhotra- was formed to evaluate the Indian insurance industry and recommend its future

    direction. The Malhotra committee was aimed at creating a more efficient and competitive

    financial system suitable for the requirements of the economy keeping in mind the

    structural changes currently underway and recognising that insurance is an important part

    of the overall financial system where it was necessary to address the need for similar

    reforms. In 1994, the committee submitted the report and some of the key

    recommendations included:

    I. Structure: Government stake in the insurance Companies to be brought down to50%. Government should take over the holdings of GIC and its subsidiaries so that

    these subsidiaries can act as independent corporations. All the insurance companies

    should be given greater freedom to operate.

    companies would have a trained workforce of insurance agents in place to sell their

    products.

    Present Scenario:-

    The Government of India liberalised the insurance sector in March 2000 with the passage

    of the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) Bill, lifting all entry

    restrictions for private players and allowing foreign players to enter the market with some

    limits on direct foreign ownership. Under the current guidelines, there is a 26 percent

    equity cap for foreign partners in an insurance company. There is a proposal to increase

    this limit to 49 percent.

    The opening up of the sector is likely to lead to greater spread and deepening of insurance

    in India and this may also include restructuring and revitalizing of the public sector

    companies. In the private sector 15 life insurance companies have been registered. A host

    of private Insurance companies operating in life segments have started selling their

    insurance policies since 2001. Table shows the current market players in the life Insurance

    Innovative products, smart marketing and aggressive distribution. That's the triple

    whammy combination thathas enabled fledgling private insurance companies to sign up

    Indian customers faster than anyone ever expected. Indians, who have always seen life

    insurance as a tax saving device, are now suddenly turning to the private sector and

    snapping up the new innovative products on offer.

    The growing popularity of the private insurers shows in other ways. They are COIning

    money in new niches that they have introduced. The state owned companies still dominate

    segments like endowments and money back policies. But in the annuity or pension

    products business, the private insurers have already wrested over 33 percent of the

    market. And in the popular unit-linked insurance schemes they have a virtual monopoly,

    with over 90 percent of the customers.

    The private insurers also seem to be scoring big in other ways- they are persuading people

    to take out bigger policies. For instance, the average size of a life insurance policy before

    privatisation was around Rs 50,000. Thathas risen to about Rs 80,000. But a rejuvenated

    LIC is also trying to fight back to persuade new customers.

    Section B

    CHANNEL DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES.

    ELIGIBILTY MODEL: - From this eligibility model company judge prospective person.

    The company follows unique eligibility criteria for AA selection by which company is able is

    to always justify its mission. The basic objective ofhaving an eligibility model for

    recruitment is to have good retention and greater effectiveness in the delivery of service.

    Four criterias for AA selection

    1. 25 plus years of age: This age showsattainment of maturity and responsibility. People

    are more consistent in this age.

    2. Married: Married people have more eager to earn money. Family pressures increase

    responsibility and secondly customers are convinced more by the stability of a married AA.

    3. Staying in the same city for more than 5 years:Person who stays more than 5 year

    has huge natural market whichhelps him to get more business in short period.

    4. Graduate: Graduate people have basic skills like communication skills, numerical ability,

    I.P relation, convincing abilities etc. so it is easy to teach them further.

  • 8/7/2019 MNYL

    21/39

    CHANNEL DEVELOPMENT AT MAX NEW YORK LIFE

    BY PANKAJ KHERAJ SHAH

    Other criteria for AA selection:

    1. Financial stability: MNYL is focuses on classes and not on masses thus they select

    strong agent advisors.

    2. To have a rich and active social circle: Ithelps to gethigher case rate and case size.

    Also the chances of policy lapsing can be less and renewals can be more.

    3. Greed for money: Firm selects advisors who understand the language of commission.

    Because people who want fix amount as their earnings are not suitable for this business.

    4. Independent: MNYL select people who want to be entrepreneur. Housewives or brokers

    who want flexible hours for work are prospective person for this business.

    5. Persuasion: He should be persuasive in nature because the AA needs to follow up on

    regular basis with prospective and new clients without being a nuisance value.

    6. Excellent interpersonal skills:Because developing and maintaining good relations can

    get policies. Secondly since most of the insurance companies provide a plethora of similar

    products, sales depend on the convincing ability of the AA and the rapport the AA is bale tobuild. Also results in C of Is.

    7. Excellent communication skills: Since AA needs to communicate about the

    organization, products, career as AA, about why insurance is important, which product will

    suithis requirement etc.

    DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES

    Management team has developed certain strategies in order to expand channel distribution

    network. These model are followed across the country uniformly and top management

    feels that these rules are the building block of MNYLs success in India as well as across the

    world. There are two basic principles that are required in order to execute these

    strategies such as

    1) Prospecting:Identify the right person who fits in the eligibility model.

    2) Selection:Select them for further plan of actions.

    RULE OF 31:-Rule of 31 is associated with the daily activities which is follow to

    recruit quality advisors. It says that everyday collect at least 3 names of the prospective AA

    and do one screening every day.

    BY PANKAJ KHERAJ SHAH

    Ways of Name Gathering

    There are several ways for gathering names in order to follow rule of 31.

    Natural Market:A natural market consist of people to whom you know well from your

    family, friend circle, relative can be a good prospect. The most admired way for recruitment

    in MNYL is through natural market. Natural market persons are easily approachable and

    most of the successful recruitment in MNYL is from natural market.

    Personal Observation:It means identify the right person through observation. For e.g.

    a person residing in your locality and very famous in taking initiative in social activities can

    be a good prospect.

    Nominator Call: A nominator is a person who is very much influential in the market as

    well as in societies. Name gathering and identification is easy in this case, but these people

    are highly unapproachable. These people can be very productive in giving references of the

    prospect. They are not prospect by default.

    Centre of Influence (COI) Call: A centre of influence person is people who are

    influential and you know them personally. They are approached for giving references of the

    client.

    Prospect Call:Prospects itself are approached. They can be anyone from natural market,

    Nominators reference, COIs reference or by other means.

    Activities: Doing activities such as brand awareness in Public places such as mall,

    multiplexes can be a good strategy for name gathering. We can have a questionnaire format

    to fill by applicant for the lucky draw atPhoenix mill; Nakshatra mall; Hirra Panna;

    Siddhivinayak temple; Nirmal life style; BSE.

    future AA for the Company. The company periodically modifies the versions of the scripts if

    needed as per requirement. All the mangers are required to follow the scripts. There are

    several kinds of scripts. The classification of scripts is follows:

    1) Nominator Script:Nominator is a person who is not prospect for firm buthe gives

    reference to firm. The main objective of this script is to fix an appointment with the

    nominator.

    references quickly. This script is used to entertain Nominators and influence them to

    collect references from them.

    All the scripts are also contained with expected objections from the
