ORIGIN AND DEVELOPMENT OF INSURANCE
Insurance in the modern form originated in the Mediterranean during 13/14th
century. The earliest references to insurance have been found in Babylonia, the
Greeks and the Romans. The use of insurance appeared in the account of north
Italian merchant banks who then dominated the international trade in Europe at
that time. Marine insurance is the oldest form of insurance followed by life
insurance and fire insurance. The patterns that have been used in England followed
in other countries also in these kinds of insurance. The origin and growth of Marine
Insurance, life insurance, fire insurance were miscellaneous.
LIFE INSURANCE
Life insurance may be defined as a contract in which the insurer, in
consideration of a certain premium, either in a lump sum or by other periodical
payments, agrees to pay to the assured, or to the person for those benefit the policy
is taken, the assured sum of money, on the happening of a specified event contingent
on the human life. A contract of life insurance, as in other forms of insurance,
requires that the assured must have the time of the contract an insurable interest in

his life upon which the insurance is affected. In a contract of life insurance, interest
has only to be proved at the date of the contract, and not necessarily present at the
time when the policy falls due.
A person can assure his life his own life and every part of it, and can insure for
any sum whatsoever, as he likes. Similarly, a wife has an insurable interest in her
husband and vice-versa. However, mere natural love and affection is not sufficient
to constitute an insurable interest. It must be shown that the person affecting
insurance on the life of another is so related to that other person as to have claim for
support. For example, a sister has an insurable in the life of a brother who supports
her.
A person not related to the other can have insurable interest on that other
person. For example, a creditor has insurable interest in the life of his debtor to the
extent of debt. A creditor can insure the life of his debtor up to the amount of debt,
at the time of issue of the policy. An employee has an insurable interest in the life of
the employer arising out of contractual obligation to employ him for a stipulated
period at fixed salary. Similarly, from an employer to the employee who is bound by
the contract to serve for a certain period of time.
LIFE INSURANCE CORPORATION
Till January 1956, life insurance in India was under the control of
private sector. After 19th January 1956 all life insurance business in India has been
nationalized. As a beginning, the Life Insurance ordinance was promulgated on the
18th January 1956. Thereafter Life Insurance act was passed and LIC came into
existence from 1st September 1956.

ROLE OF LIFE INSURANCE
Role 1: “Life Insurance as Investment”
Insurance is an attractive option for investment. While most people
recognize the risk hedging and tax saving potential of insurance, many are not
aware of its Advantages as an investment option as well. Insurance products yield

more compared to regular investment option and this is besides the added incentives
offered by insurers.
You cannot an compare an insurance product with other investment schemes for the
simple reason that it offers financial protection from, something that is missing in
non-insurance products.
In life insurance, unlike non-life products, you get maturity benefits on
survival at the end of the term. In other words, if you take a life insurance policy for
20 years and survive the term, the amount invested as a premium in the policy will
come back to you with added returns. In the unfortunate event of death with in the
tenure of the policy, the family of the deceased will receive the sum assured.
Now, let us compare insurance as an investment options. If you invest
Rs.10,000 in PPF your money grows to 10,950 at 9.5 percent interest over a year.
But in this case, the access to your funds will be limited. One can withdraw 5
percent of the initial deposit only after 4 years.
Same amount of Rs.10,000 can give you an insurance cover of up to approximately
Rs.5-40 times of premium (depending upon the plan(ULIP Youngstar), age and
medical condition of the life insured, etc.) and the amount he get in return on
maturity is 15% or more depend upon market which is far more then PPF amount
and if some miss happening can happened then risk cover can immediately available
to the nominee of the policy holder on the death.

Thus insurance is a unique investment avenue that delivers sound returns in
addition to protection.
Role 2: Life insurance as “Risk Cover”
First and foremost, insurance is about risk cover and protection-financial
protection, to be more precise to help outlast life’s unpredictable losses. Designed to
safeguard against losses suffered on account of any unforeseen event, insurance
provide you with that unique sense of security that no other form of investment
provides. By buying life insurance, you buy peace of mind and are prepared to face
any financial demand that would hit the family in case of an untimely demise.
To provide such protection, insurance firms collect contributions from many
people. who face the same risk .A loss claim is paid of the total premium collected by
the insurance companies, who act as trustees to the monies.
Insurance also provide a safeguard in the case of accidents of a drop in income
after retirement. An accident or disability can be devastating, and an insurance
policy can lend timely support to the family n such items. It also comes as a great
Help when you retire, in case no unknown incident happens during the term of the
policy. With the entry of private sector players in insurance, you have a wide range
of products and services to choose from further, many of these can be further

customized to fit individual or specific group needs. Considering the amount you
have to pay now, it’s worth buying some extra sleep.
Role 3: Life insurance as “Tax Planning”
Insurance serves as an excellent tax saving mechanism too. The government of
India has offered incentives to the life insurance products in order to facilitate the
flow of funds in to the productive assets under section 88 of income tax act 1961; an
individual is entitled to a rebate of 2 percent on the annual premium payable on his
or her life and life of his or her children or adult children. the rebate is deductible
from tax payable by the individual or a Hindu Undivided family. The rebate is
deductible from the tax payable by an individual or a Hindu undivided family. You

COMMENTS: During my survey I found that financial consultants are the back
Bone of the Insurance Industry. If a insurance Industry have Quality F.C. then
naturally that company is good in Business. The whole insurance industry works on
relationship and networking. According to my observations Financial consultant in
this industry can do more business if they can be little more Professional, build
strong relations with customers improve their communication, sharp their selling
skills, self motivator and can take some more initiative.

SDM OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGY FOR
SALES FORCE
The days when all the sales force did was "sell, sell, and sel1" are long gone. Sales
represantives need how to diagnose a customer's problem and propose a solution.
Sales people show a customer-prospect how their company can help a customer
Profitability.
Companies need to define the specific objectives they want their sales force to
48. Recruitment Of Financial
` Consultant & to study the roles
& responsibility of S.D.M
HP. institute of Management Studies totu Shimla.
achieve, For example, a company might want its sales representatives to spend 80
percent of their time with current customers and 20 percent with prospects, and 85
percent of their time on established products and 15 percent on new products. The
specific allocation scheme depends on the kind of products and customers, but
regardless of the selling context, salespeople will have one or more of the following
specific tasks to perform:
Prospecting. Searching for prospects, or leads.
Targeting. Deciding how to allocate their time among prospects and
customers.
Communicating. Communicating information about the company's products
and services. .
Selling. Approaching, presenting, answering questions, overcoming
objections, and closing sales.
Servicing. Providing various services to the customers consulting on
problems, rendering technical assistance, arranging financing, expediting
delivery.
Information gathering. Conducting market research and doing intelligence
work.
Allocating. Deciding which customers will get scarce products during
product shortages.
Because of the expense, most companies are moving to the concept of a
leveraged sales force. A sales force focuses on selling the company's more
complex and customized products to large accounts, while low-end selling is
done by inside salespeople and through Web ordering. Tasks such as lead
generation, proposal writing, order fulfillment, and postsale support are turned
over to others. Salespeople handle fewer accounts, and are rewarded for key
account growth. This is far different from expecting salespeople to selling every
possible account, which is usually the weakness of geographically based sales
forces.

REVIEW OF
THE
LITERATURE
66. Recruitment Of Financial
` Consultant & to study the roles
& responsibility of S.D.M
HP. institute of Management Studies totu Shimla.
A literature review :-is a text written by someone to consider the critical points
of current knowledge including substantive findings, as well as theoretical and
methodological contributions to a particular topic. Literature reviews are secondary
sources, and as such, do not report any new or original experimental work. Also, a
literature review can be interpreted as a review of an abstract accomplishment.
Most often associated with academic-oriented literature, such as a thesis or peer-
reviewed article, a literature review usually precedes a research proposal and
results section. Its main goals are to situate the current study within the body of
literature and to provide context for the particular reader. Literature reviews are a
staple for research in nearly every academic field.
A systematic review is a literature review focused on a research question, trying to
identify, appraise, select and synthesize all high quality research evidence relevant
to that question. A meta analysis is typically a systematic review using statistical
methods to effectively combine the data used on all selected studies to produce a
more reliable result.
CHAPTER NO 3
RESEARCH
METHODOLOGY
67. Recruitment Of Financial
` Consultant & to study the roles
& responsibility of S.D.M
HP. institute of Management Studies totu Shimla.
RESEARCH MEANING AND DEFINATION :-
Research comprises "creative work undertaken on a systematic
basis in order to increase the stock of knowledge, including knowledge of man, culture
and society, and the use of this stock of knowledge to devise new applications." It is
used to establish or confirm facts, reaffirm the results of previous work, solve new or
existing problems, support theorems, or develop new theories. A research project may
also be an expansion on past work in the field. To test the validity of instruments,
procedures, or experiments, research may replicate elements of prior projects, or the
project as a whole. The primary purposes of basic research (as opposed to applied
research) are documentation, discovery, interpretation, or the research and
development (R&D) of methods and systems for the advancement of human
knowledge. Approaches to research depend on epistemologies, which vary considerably
both within and between humanities and sciences. There are several forms of research:
scientific, humanities, artistic, economic, social, business, marketing, practitioner
research, etc.
Forms of research
Artistic research:- also seen as 'practice-based research', can take form when
creative works are considered both the research and the object of research itself.
It is the debatable body of thought which offers an alternative to purely scientific
methods in research in its search for knowledge and truth.
68. Recruitment Of Financial
` Consultant & to study the roles
& responsibility of S.D.M
HP. institute of Management Studies totu Shimla.
Research in the humanities :-involves different methods such as for example
hermeneutics and semiotics, and a different, more relativist epistemology.
Humanities scholars usually do not search for the ultimate correct answer to a
question, but instead explore the issues and details that surround it. Context is
always important, and context can be social, historical, political, cultural or
ethnic. An example of research in the humanities is historical research, which is
embodied in historical method. Historians use primary sources and other
evidence to systematically investigate a topic, and then to write histories in the
form of accounts of the past.
Scientific research :- relies on the application of the scientific method, a
harnessing of curiosity. This research provides scientific information and
theories for the explanation of the nature and the properties of the world. It
makes practical applications possible. Scientific research is funded by public
authorities, by charitable organizations and by private groups, including many
companies. Scientific research can be subdivided into different classifications
according to their academic and application disciplines. Scientific research is a
widely used criterion for judging the standing of an academic institution, such as
business schools, but some argue that such is an inaccurate assessment of the
institution, because the quality of research does not tell about the quality of
teaching (these do not necessarily correlate totally)t such is an inaccurate
assessment of the institution, because the quality of research does not tell about
the quality of teaching (these do not necessarily correlate totally)
Generally, research is understood to follow a certain structural process. Though
step order may vary depending on the subject matter and researcher, the following
steps are usually part of most formal research, both basic and applied:
1. Observations and Formation of the topic: Consists of the subject area of ones
interest and following that subject area to conduct subject related research.
The subject area should not be randomly chosen since it requires reading a
vast amount of literature on the topic to determine the gap in the literature
the researcher intends to narrow. A keen interest in the chosen subject area
is advisable. The research will have to be justified by linking its importance
to already existing knowledge about the topic.
2. Hypothesis: A testable prediction which designates the relationship between
two or more variables.
3. Conceptual definition: Description of a concept by relating it to other
concepts.
4. Operational definition: Details in regards to defining the variables and how
they will be measured/assessed in the study.
69. Recruitment Of Financial
` Consultant & to study the roles
& responsibility of S.D.M
HP. institute of Management Studies totu Shimla.
5. Gathering of data: Consists of identifying a population and selecting samples,
gathering information from and/or about these samples by using specific
research instruments. The instruments used for data collection must be valid
and reliable.
6. Analysis of data: Involves breaking down the individual pieces of data in
order to draw conclusions about it.
7. Data Interpretation: This can be represented through tables, figures and
pictures, and then described in words.
8. Test, revising of hypothesis
9. Conclusion, reiteration if necessary
A common misconception is that a hypothesis will be proven (see, rather, Null
hypothesis). Generally a hypothesis is used to make predictions that can be tested by
observing the outcome of an experiment. If the outcome is inconsistent with the
hypothesis, then the hypothesis is rejected (see falsifiability). However, if the
outcome is consistent with the hypothesis, the experiment is said to support the
hypothesis. This careful language is used because researchers recognize that
alternative hypotheses may also be consistent with the observations. In this sense, a
hypothesis can never be proven, but rather only supported by surviving rounds of
scientific testing and, eventually, becoming widely thought of as true.
A useful hypothesis allows prediction and within the accuracy of observation of the
time, the prediction will be verified. As the accuracy of observation improves with
time, the hypothesis may no longer provide an accurate prediction. In this case a
new hypothesis will arise to challenge the old, and to the extent that the new
hypothesis makes more accurate predictions than the old, the new will supplant it.
Researchers can also use a null hypothesis, which state no relationship or difference
between the independent or dependent variables. A null hypothesis uses a sample of
all possible people to make a conclusion about the population.

Steps in conducting research:-
Research is often conducted using the hourglass model structure of research. The
hourglass model starts with a broad spectrum for research, focusing in on the
required information through the method of the project (like the neck of the
hourglass), then expands the research in the form of discussion and results. The
major steps in conducting research are:
Identification of research problem
Literature review
Specifying the purpose of research
Determine specific research questions or hypotheses
Data collection
Analyzing and interpreting the data
Reporting and evaluating research
Communicating the research findings and, possibly, recommendations
The steps generally represent the overall process, however they should be viewed as
an ever-changing iterative process rather than a fixed set of steps. Most researches
begin with a general statement of the problem, or rather, the purpose for engaging
in the study. The literature review identifies flaws or holes in previous research
which provides justification for the study. Often, a literature review is conducted in
a given subject area before a research question is identified. A gap in the current
literature, as identified by a researcher, then engenders a research question. The
research question may be parallel to the hypothesis. The hypothesis is the
supposition to be tested. The researcher(s) collects data to test the hypothesis. The
researcher(s) then analyzes and interprets the data via a variety of statistical
methods, engaging in what is known as Empirical research. The results of the data
analysis in confirming or failing to reject the Null hypothesis are then reported and
evaluated. At the end the researcher may discuss avenues for further research.
Rudolph Rummel says, "... no researcher should accept any one or two tests as
definitive. It is only when a range of tests are consistent over many kinds of data,
researchers, and methods can one have confidence in the results."
Research Design

HP. institute of Management Studies totu Shimla.
This is a descriptive type of research because it is a type of conclusive
research which has a major objective of description of something, i.e. Public
opinion about financial consultant.
Objective of the Study:
1-How to recruit the Financial Consultants.
2-How to apply the management skills
3-learning and implementing the selling skills and selling the insurance
plans in the market
Even some other important objectives are also given to me like:
1. learn the time management
2. learn the official documentary work
3. learn the roles and responsibility of sales development Manager
4. learn how to become a good leader & motivator
So these are some objectives given to me for my study.
Thus keeping this in mind following benefits can be drafted out form this project:
72. Recruitment Of Financial
` Consultant & to study the roles
& responsibility of S.D.M
HP. institute of Management Studies totu Shimla.
1. This project will help in identifying the most strong & most weak source of
awareness, so that adequate promotional strategies for different segments of the
market could be worked out.
2. This Project will give an insight to the most important factors which influence a
person to work as a financial consultant in Insurance sector.
3. The advertisement recall will be helpful in identifying those Medias which needs
to be worked upon and to be strengthened.
4. The project will give a picture about what image does a company have in the
minds of people so that appropriate positioning strategies could be framed.
NEED
During this survey I learn so many things like what is the basic need of an financial
consultant. Financial consultant is the backbone of the insurance industry.
The whole field work has to done to the financial consultant and it is only a financial
consultant who brings the business for the company. So recruiting the quality
financial consultant Who have a great prestige in the market (eg.Pradhan, Charted
Accountants, income tax officer)is very important for the company. If a company
has quality financial consulatants then company is good in business and in output.
73. Recruitment Of Financial
` Consultant & to study the roles
& responsibility of S.D.M
HP. institute of Management Studies totu Shimla.
But if a company does not have good financial consultant then it is failed to give the
required output to the company. So about my objective i.e. recruitment of the
financial consultant is an important work for an insurance organization. It is an
base of the insurance sector on what whole industry is depends upon.
Scope
The scope of my study is so wide in the insurance sector. Recruiting the financial
consultant is an part of retail sales. So person who recruits the financial consultant
can become a channel development manager and sales development manager. And a
person who is a financial consultant can also become an sales development manager
but he or she should have to clear some criteria of the target like he or she should be
a gold club qualifier and he or she must be minimum graduate. Those criteria

Should have to be accomplished with in one year. And he or she can grow more in
this sector up to a top level. So in this sector I find a lots of scope for any person.
Limitations:
I don’t find any limitation in my study because this organization works on trust,
transparency and best services.
SURVEY
The important part of this study was survey. The survey was conducted in
Mandi. The purpose of the survey is to awareness of people about Financial
Consultant.
75. Recruitment Of Financial

HP. institute of Management Studies totu Shimla.
For any survey Questionnaire plays a vital role. A Questionnaire decides the
success of the survey. There should be following characteristics of an Questionnaire.
1) There should be continuity in the questions.
2) All Questions should be linked with the required information of study.
3) The language used in questionnaire should be easy.
4) The Questionnaire should not very or very long.
5) There should be more objective questions than Subjective questions.
After considering all these main areas of effective Questionnaire, We made an
Questionnaire and conduct the Survey. To find out the awareness of financial
consultant of HDFC standard life insurance sector in Mandi is not easy because of
geographical and demographic situations in Mandi.Mandi are not a big city. It has
the population of just over 2 Lakhs also the middle class and poor population is high
in this city.
So for this research I used some different techniques also like sending sms and
callings to the people from a telephonic data, which I collect from the
communication shops and some series idea about the local numbers.
