- 7. POST CONFERENCE SEMINARS Wednesday | 19 February 2014 Our in-depth post-conference workshops are designed for both bankers and insurers to learn in-depth strategies on how to create incremental growth and improve market density in the Middle East SEMINAR A: SEMINAR B: Practical tools for building competencies to increase service quality, customer satisfaction and growth Seminar A runs from 08.30 – 12.30, with lunch served afterwards. Registration begins at 08.00 Due to the lack of regulations on required qualifications for bancassurance sales staff, there is a dearth of high-calibre sales people with adequate training in the MENA region. This shortage inevitably leads to the sale of unsuitable products, which has a significant long-term impact on both reputation and revenue streams for banks. To ensure an adequately skilled sales staff and safeguard long-term customer loyalty, banks must deliver structured development programmes for staff in order to empower employees and reward professional development. This half day workshop designed specifically for banks will provide proven strategies and programmes for developing exceptional sales staff including: 99 Setting expectations: Accurately communicating culture, reporting lines, relationship with insurers and allocation of responsibility 99 Communicating compliance frameworks, checks and priority 99 Developing skill: Training on technical topics, product specific knowledge, segmentation, sales management and sales techniques 99 Training Bancassurance staff to improve operations between the insurance and banking arms 99 Customising competitive benefits that fit your target staff’s needs and reinforce service quality LEAD THIS WORKSHOP Practical strategies for conducting segmentation and assessing consumer behavior in the current market to drive customer satisfaction and product innovation Seminar B runs from 13.30 – 17.30. Registration begins at 13.00 The key to success in bancassurance is to be able to identify the opportunities available in a bank’s customer base by offering the right financial planning solution to suit the customer’s needs. A robust segmentation model is imperative to get a better understanding of the customers, anticipate their needs and thereby offer the right solutions to them to generate more profit for your organisation. This workshop will provide banks and insurers with tools to conduct effective customer segmentation by: 99 Evaluating the role of segmentation for product delivery 99 Examining possible approaches to segmentation such as slicing, life stage and event trigger approach as well as understanding what works well in the Middle East 99 Tools to identify which segments to target with which products and through which channels 99 Identifying a range of innovative customer propositions for profitable segments to ensure differentiation 99 Assessing how segmentation can be a powerful tool for creating customisation and product innovation 99 Incorporating segmentation into future distribution strategies to provide a common understanding of the key needs and wants of customers Workshop Leader Manoj Kumar, President & Managing Director, Bancassurance Consultants Worldwide Limited, UK Manoj is the President & Managing Director of BCWL, i.e. “Bancassurance Consultants Worldwide Limited” headquartered in UK and specializing in Bancassurance Products design with equal emphasis on protection as well as wealth management. His career spanning 26 years includes working as Head of Insurance Company, Head of Bancassurance and Head of Product Development with Banks and Insurance Companies across Europe, Middle East and India.

In some of the markets like Oman, bancassurance is the way forward as it’s not sustainable for any insurers to build its captive distribution considering the huge landscape. I foresee insurers taking a more holistic approach in the Middle East. Insurers would move away from a pure distributor model to integrated holistic bancassurance models that manage the Sreenath Manghat Head, Bancassurance Products relationships effectively. Bancassurance will also expand from the & Services - Consumer Banking traditional branch banking model to multi-channel/multi product BankMuscat, Oman distributions like telemarketing, digital and other alternate channels. Syed Adil Rehman Head Wealth Management Dubai Islamic Bank UAE Bancassurance is practically a new concept within the region and the potential for growth over the next five years is immense. The Bancassurance market in the GCC is estimated to grow to US$ 1.2 billion by 2016. The key to this growth will be to offer customers a whole range of insurance solutions to suit their diverse needs. +971 4 335 2437 +971 4 335 2438 JG Shields Head, Bancassurance Absa Business Banking South Africa Africa is one of the world’s fastest growing economies. We have to acknowledge the role risk mitigation programs will play to support a sustainable growth profile. Bancassurance will be a core instrument in this program and will subsequently grow equally fast. Bancassurance is the backbone of any bank from the perspective of an additional revenue source. It is usually a stable and scalable model, which grows with both organic and inorganic growth of the bank. It gives insurance companies a large Jitender (Kumar) Nangia Vice President & Cluster Head institution to work with, which reposes faith HDFC Bank in masses and enhances sales/reach further.
