26. RECOMMENDATIONS
There is some of the recommendation we had come up with while doing this project. It
will help to make insurance more important sector in today’s economy.
The need of the hour is to devise a comprehensive strategy that will help the firms face
the challenges of the future. The financial services industry around the world over is
under going a major transformation. It is very important that trained marketing
professionals who are able to communicate specific features of the policy should sell
the policy.
1. INCRESE AWARENESS :- From our study we could find out that people are not
aware about the policies and features of insurance. Therefore ICICI are
recommended to shed light on policies and explain the benefits, thus increasing the
awareness.
2. MARKETING FOR RURAL AREAS:- The penetration of insurance in India is around
22%. This indicates that a vast majority of rural population is not covered.The market
player needs to explore this untapped potential through their marketing and sales
network.
27. 3. IMPROVE CUSTOMER SERVICES:- In order to take the advantage of being industry
leader in private sector, ICICI Prudential has to improve its customer services. According
to my experience in the company, a good number of customers forget to pay their
premium at time so it causes a big loss to the company. ICICI Prudential has already
collaborated with the ICICI bank for its banc assurance facility and then can include
another feature in it. ICICI bank can offer a bank account with the life insurance policy in
which an ATM card will be provided. This card will have all the information regarding the
policy as like future premium payment dates, payment made, money value of the policy
at that date, value of the unit linked plan and all other information what the customer
want. This will help the customer to pay premium on time and save their losses. This will
be mutually helpful for both sister companies, ICICI bank will get new account and ICICI
prudential will be able to more efficient services to their customers.
4. LAUNCHING OF NEW PRODUCTS :- Some insurance products, which are not available
in India, should be introduced in market. There are areas for new product
development: Industry all risk policies, Large projects risk cover, Risk beyond a floor
level, extended public and product liability cover.
28. 5. INCREAED TECHNOLOGY :- Insurance companies will also have to get savvy in
distribution. Enhanced marketing thus will be crucial. Already many companies have
full operation capabilities over a 12-hour period. Facilities such as customer service
center are already into 24-hour mode. These will provide services such as
motor vehicle recovery. Technology will also play an important role on the market. The
lines of distinction between banks insurance companies and brokerages are getting
blurred. The future seems to belong to financial supermarkets that will offer a host of
services and products to the consumer. In the next millennium all these activities
would play a crucial role in the overall development and maturity of the insurance
industry.
6. OPEN SOME MORE BRANCHES IN SEMI URBAN AND RURAL AREA: ICICI Prudential
has almost its branches in urban area or metros.So in order to increase the no. of
customer, ICICI Prudential Would increase the approach towards potential
Customers. For that it has to increase the branches in the semi urban cities like C, D
grade cities. And the rural marketing is the best option for ICICI Prudential to increase
its base in the market.
7. TRAINED THE FINANCIAL ADVISORS MORE EFFICIENTLY: In the changed scenario,
more efficient training will be needed, so ICICI Prudential should provide good and
efficient training to their financial advisors Because they are the one who interact
directly with the customers. So good training will give them the right way to deal with
the potential customers.
29. CONCLUSION
•Advertising of the insurance product should stress on the need of security.
•Insurance should be popularized as the means of securing future rather than saving
tax.
•New entrants should come out with innovative riders.
•Policies should be issued quickly and with less formalities
•Other service should also be improved.
•Newspaper/Magazines and television are the most effective medium of advertising life
insurance.
•Insurance agents should be well trained.
•Informed the customer timely in regard their policy.
