1. Introduction
The strategic goal of sustaining a market share or gaining competitive advantage
depends on effective selling skills. This skill is continuous development in process.
Companies adopt different type of effective selling techniques according to
environmental change and needs. It includes the need of continuous improvement
as consumers are more informed today than in the past.
Insurance products are different from other products. It is intangible, so sales
people face a lot of difficulties for selling insurance products. Here effective
selling skills are needed to be successful. Today Insurance Industry faces a big
problem of active advisor. Company either terminates the relationship or the
advisor leave voluntarily because of insufficient income. This separation occurs in
life industry after six month (due to licentiate examination and training process).
Company and agent magnify the implication of this separation in wasted resources
in opportunity cost during the engagement period.
Advisor is front liner, who is only a person who directly contacts with customer.
Advisors do this work as a mediator between customer and company. It means the
agent is located at the place in the organization at which the company financial
security policy and plan are distributed to customers and also at the place at which
services are directly provided to the customer (Oakes 1990). Agent provides such
types of service in term of consultancy i.e. to make help in financial planning
strategies.
Insurance is relationship business. Relationship and emotion is the key of success
in selling. People purchase insurance because they love their family. It is human
Page 4Sell insurance policy in effective way NMIMS
8/3/2019 Sale Insurance in Effective Way
5/35
tendency that people agree/purchase from such type of person who is trustworthy.
Like and trust is the key in insurance business. Due to this reason brand and price
are insignificant when client make a buying decision.
It is seem that often people do not know much more about insurance, when they
compare with other products, so here advisors role becomes very important due to
following reason: -
Advisors have had to choose particular product according to client need so
advisor should know about financial planning.
Product knowledge is of prime value for every advisor. It gives themconfidence and trustworthiness before client. Advisor should know products
merits and demerits because different client have different needs.
Insurance is long-term financial product so advisor should know about
customer relationship management. It helps him time to time fulfill specific
need and query of client.
People are less aware and interested towards insurance product, so such
types of responsibility (to increase awareness and popularity amongst people)
are fulfilled by advisor.
And lastly, all above thing are unnecessary, if advisors do not sell
insurance products. Effective selling skills help him to fulfill such type of
above goal.
This study provides an understanding of effective selling and explores, how those
skills can be integrated in the organization structure to enable successful selling.
This study began with reviewing relevant literature on effective selling skill
needed for good sales performances. We were very particular that what we had to
take. In this literature we only concentrated on which type of problem are faced
by sales person and its solution with the help of effective selling techniques in the
field of insurance. In this process seller side has been only covered.

Finding.
Conclusion and suggestion

finding actual and realistic problems and their solutions. Secondary data were
collected from books and Internet to go in depth of topic.

2. Literature Review
In the literature review phase, we understood that which factor affect on sells
performance and advisors ability. In this process we understood, how insurance is
different from other products, why sales persons fail to sell insurance. We also
realized during this process that motivation, behavior, characteristics and training
factors affect man power and its ability, how to generate lead and convert intosales, how sales performance can be increased.
Mostly people think that seller skill is inherent, but it is not correct. It can be
achieved with the help of training and practices. When a person does more practice
and gets mastered in such skill, it seems easy and natural. Professional
salesmanship is a learned skill. Insurance sales are more complicated to general
sales. Advisor cannot show insurance product, he can only describe benefit with
the help of verbal and non-verbal language. In this process he plays with another
emotion and sentiment. If he wins in this game then he will be successful in selling
and vice-versa.
Insurance is not purchased it is sold. Here advisor face difficulty. Advisor has had
to do a lot of work for successful selling, such as to whom he is to sell (prospective
client), turn prospective client to customer. Only insurable person can take
insurance, so he has had to do segmentation and targeting type of work also.
With the help of lead generation advisor can find prospective customer. There are
several methods to lead generation such as cold calling. Cold calling can be a
Page 7Sell insurance policy in effective way NMIMS
8/3/2019 Sale Insurance in Effective Way
8/35
successful way to lead generation. If it is done with planning: for example how to
cold call, when to cold call, and how much cold call to make everyday in order to
get appointment. Some person thinks that seminar and free diner in medium
restaurant (fish bowling method) is also good way of lead generation. In such typeof seminar, should not use full word of insurance, only use particular topic such as
annuity: how it works, use, advantage, what to help your client with their annuity
need.
Public relation is also great way to expose in market. Advisor can do it with the
help of trade show or he can make public relation with the help of promotional
activity. The real key of public relationship is to be friendly and focus on meeting,not selling product.
Many of the most difficult sales jobs are easy to obtain (i.e. selling specialty
product such as house hold, hardware, life insurance or encyclopedias). They have
also been graveyard of thousand of co-worker (Baker 1994). It means after a
minimum qualification and passing IRDA Licentiate examination, any one are
eligible to sale insurance policy. Due to this reason alteration rate is very high in
insurance industry. But now insurance companies are concentrating on other
distribution channel such as, bancassurance, Internet, NGOs, micro insurance.
Now insurance company are concentrating on training program and they recruit
eligible candidate for executive trainee or other post (i.e. PGPMI).
Selling skill can be developed such type of skill with the help of practice, practical
training and experience.
Behavior style and interpersonal effectiveness is also important in selling. People
fit into four categories. Insurance products can be sold to them in different ways.
Interpersonal effectiveness helps to understand in what way an individuals mind

works and his level of interest in a particular product /policy which may act as
guideline for the best way to approach sell for each category developed in two
ways: formal training and sales experience gained through exercising the selling
job over time. In formal training people know about product and services, whichhelp him to explain, what he has for other. Secondly formal training is base of
advisor carriers. In formal training people know, which type of skill is required for
effective selling and they approach each category in effective way.

Life insurance products are inherently more difficult to sell compared to otherkinds of products. Agents who are deficient in these characteristics and skills are
unable to sell successfully and consequently they are forced to leave the company.
Although some of these characteristics may be developed through lifetime, the
skills could be taught and learned by sales producers.

4.b. Types of Primary Data collected:
1) Demographic /Socioeconomic Characteristics:
Demographic and socioeconomic characteristics sometimes called states ofbeing in that they represent the type of people. The factors on which we are
working are age, sex and occupation. Here we have taken only insurance
personnel, who are in insurance field and selling policy to other. Here income and
experience was important.
2) Attitudes/Opinions:
Page 15Sell insurance policy in effective way NMIMS
8/3/2019 Sale Insurance in Effective Way
16/35
Through the questionnaire we have tried to get hold of individuals selling style,
verbal and non-verbal language, and motivation, which is important to sell for
insurance product. Attitude is an important notion in the marketing literature, since
generally it is previewed that the attitudes are relating to the behavior of individual.
3) Awareness/Knowledge:
They are used in marketing research refers to what respondents do or do not know
about the effective selling style.
4) Motivation:
Through questionnaire have tried to find the hidden need or want of an individual
and have tried to find out that which factor increase moral or satisfaction of
advisor.
5) Behavior:
Behavior concerns what subjects have done or are doing. Through made
questionnaire we have tried to find out the behavior of the individuals regarding
the selling style;
Which type of policy you sell to client?
How do you collect lead?
Do you keep attention on client non-verbal response during sells meeting?Do you update yourself?
Thus, it helps to draw a comparison between the selling style and the observedbehavior of the advisor.
6) Obtaining the Primary Data:
The data collection was primarily through communication. Communication
involves questioning respondents to secure the desired information, using a data
collection instrument called questionnaire. The questions were in writing and so
were the responses.

19/35
Finding: - 84% respondent votes come for client need base policy. They
feel that if you sell policy according to client need, then you can survive in market
in better way. Only 16% say that popular policy should be sell because it is human
tendency that before buying policy, people get investigation about policy from
their neighbors, friend and relative. If advisor sell him such type of policy,
customer will feel more satisfaction. But it is not good way because after sometime customer feel cheated (due to not fulfillment of need), so to provide client
need base policy is effective way of selling.

24, feel that sales manager role is not important but when we see him performance,
they are only selling Rs. 10000 or 2 policy in a month.

Conclusion
One of the skills used in Insurance Selling is the art of successfully persuading
prospects or customers to buy products or services from which they can derive
suitable benefits, thereby increasing their total satisfactions.
Insurance is not bought, its sold. To sell insurance policy is tough work and its
come into category of development selling. Agents feel tough due to following
reason
Less knowledge and training about product and company
Intangible product
Less interest from both sides (advisor and customer)Less motivation
Competition from same companys advisor
Delayed benefit to customer
Page 28Sell insurance policy in effective way NMIMS

Less return or people see as an investment tools
The study started with introduction and review of literature including could
contribute to a better sales performance. Salesmanship is not inherent, it is a skill,
which acquire with the help of training means it can be learned and taught. In
insurance field, salesmen require mastering in sell. The basic characteristicsidentified in the literature as common to successful salespersons are: empathy,
enthusiasm, desire to grow, persistency, patience, trustworthiness, and self-
confidence. Skills identified include interpersonal skill, communication,
organizational, product, and service knowledge. Motivation plays a critical role in
the success of a salesperson. Some of the motivating factors include financial
freedom, time autonomy, need for recognition, power, and personal satisfaction.
Lead generation is very important in Insurance because only insurance can be sold
only to insurable people. So suspecting and prospecting is very important in this
process. Three things are important in prospecting a) money (Includesaffordability and liquidity
b) Authority (Means he/she is the decision maker) and c) need (Meanshe/she is the decision maker).
Today product knowledge is necessary for advisor, but it is not very fruitful when
customers also know about product. It seems that before buying policy, customer
gather information about policy and particular insurance company. Somaster all theinsurance products and services including updates are must for advisor.
Negotiation also helps in selling insurance policy. In this process advisor keep
attention on verbal and non-verbal language of customer and try to create win-win
situation. In this situation, there is a probability to generate business in further
from the customer because in this condition customer feel satisfied and give
persuade to other also. In negotiation advisor can be used cross selling and
alternative. Active listing is important part of negotiation. In selling of insurance
policy advisor speak less and ask open-ended question from customer and try to
find whats customer financial need. From the help of successful negotiation,
advisor stands on client expectation. Once they trust advisor, then they do business
with him, and many will also refer him.
Customers really buy from advisor

The following framework explains the model of this study. The actions and
motivation have a reciprocating influence on each other. Advisor with more
positive results become successful in their career as life insurance advisor;
ineffective advisor will have a deficiency in the process and thus choose to leave
the business.
