ABSTRACT

It’s my privilege to get an opportunity to do my summer training from a well renowned

Company i.e. Aegon Religare Life Insurance Co.Ltd. In earlier a number of queries

keeping in my mind I said “yes” to myself as well as to this company that I will work

with full of my zeal and zest. I started my odyssey of “Summer Internship” on project

“SALES PLAN FOR SALE THE PRODUCT” on 15th of June under the Project head

Mr. Rajesh Pandey“B&DM”and my faculty guide Mr.Nitin Dhir

The feeling of wandering over the road in a deadly scorching sun during the summer

training was making me morbid. On 15th when I met Mr. Rajesh Pandey (B&DM), he

made me understand about my project.

I started working on my “Summer Internship” with fill of enthusiasm being fully fledged.

I was given some sales consultant and then I had to collect the data bases of their

customers to get the view about Aegon Religare products and satisfaction level about

Aegon Religare from them. Then I had to give a conclusion, followed by a suggestion on

it.

It was really a nice experience working with Aegon Religare. I felt a learning experience

while doing market research and satisfaction level about Aegon Religare”. All my

formidable fear vanished away and I am awaiting for my corporate life.

INTRODUCTION TO INSURANCE

The business of insurance began with marine business .traders who would gather in the

Lloyd’s coffee house in London, agreed to shared the losses to there goods while being

carried by ships .the losses would occurred because of pirates who used to rob on the

high seas of because of bad weather running the goods or sinking the hip. The first

insurance policy was issued in 1583 in England. In India insurance began in 1870 with

life insurance being transacted by an English company, the European and Albert. The

first Indian insurance company was the Bombay mutual assurance society LTD. Formed

in 1870.the oriental life Assurance go in 1874 came next time and then the Bharat in

1896 and then to follow was empire of Indian in 1987.

Afterwards ,the Hindustan was formed in Calcutta ,the united Indian in

madras ,the Bombay life in Bombay ,the national in Calcutta ,the new India in

Bombay ,the Jupiter in Bombay and the lakshimi in new Delhi .these were all Indian

company which began as a results of a the swadeshi movement in the 1900s .by the year

1956 ,when the life insurance business was nationalized and the life insurance

corporation of India (LIC) was formed in 1st sept.1956,there were 170 companies and 75

provident fund societies transacting life insurance business in India .after changes to he

relevant laws in 1999, the LIC did not have exclusive privilege of doing life insurance

business India.

Insurance is required assets to prevent damages through unpredictable and

accidental events .such event are known as perils. they can be any things ranging from

fire , floods ,break down ,lighting, to earthquake .if such perils damage the assets is set to

be exposed to that risk. Risks are significant losses or damages .the risk to a owner of an

assets, because perils may be a few lacks of a few corers of the rupees, depending on cost

of the assets and it contents. the risk only indicants that loss or damage is possible

insurance is done again the possibility that may happen .there has to be an uncertainty

about the risk .only if is there risk regarding the occurrence of an event,it can’t be insured

.in the case of human being, death is certain ,but the time of death is not certain .in the

case of a person who is terminally till ,the time of death is certain, though not exactly

known .he can not be insured. Insurance does not provide protection for the assets .the

perils can not be avoided through insurance. The impact of a risk on the owner of the

assets and the people depending on it, is reduced by the insurance .it partly compensates

the losses .insurance only applies to financial losses.

1. THE BUSINESS OF INSURANCE

Insurance companies are called insures. they insures :bring together person with similar

insurance interest (sharing the same risks) .

Collect the share and contribution (known as premium) from all of them ,

Pay out compensantion (known as claim) to those who suffer .Insurance is divided into

two parts.

Life an Insurance:-life insurance included all risk related to the lives of human being and

general insurance cover the other aspects.

NON –LIFE OF GENERAL INSURANCE:-General insurance have three classic

fictions viz. fire (dealing with all fire related risks),marine (dealing with all related risks

and ships) and miscellaneous (dealing with all their’s like

liability ,fidelidy,motor ,crop ,personal accident ,etc.). Personal accident and sickness

insurance which are related to human .

Beings, is classified as non –India, but is classified as “life”: in any other countries.

The premium is based on expectation of the losses that are based on information through

the study of occurrences in the past and use of statically principals .there is an statistics ,a

“law of large no.) Variation will be less as a percentage .therefore the greater the no. of

risks included in the pool; the better chances that the assumption regarding the probility

of the risk occurring (on which premium calculation is based ) will be realized in practice

.hence ,the greater the spread of the business ,the better the expectations.

The insurer holds the position of a trusty as is managing .the common fund ,for and on

behalf the community of policy holder .it has to make certain that none is allowed to take

unfair advantage of the arrangement .that means the arrangement of the insurance

business require care to prevent entry of individual to he group ,whose risks are not

similar as well paying claims on losses that are not accidental. the amount decision to

allow entry is known as the processes of underwriting of risks .underwriting includes

determining the risks i.e. to evaluate how much risks exposure involved .the premium

that is changed is dependent on the determination of risk involve .

2.INSURANCE OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

Investment are made out of saving and they are necessary for furthering economic

development .the life insurance company is a quit important in mobilizing saving of

people ,especially from the middle and lower income groups and these saving are

channeled into investment for economic growth .

Most of the life insurance companies have large fund that are accumulated through the

payment of small amount of premium of individual and these fund further the economic

development of the countries in which they do business .

These fund are collected and held in trust for the benefits of the policy holder .the

management of the life insurance company have to remember this aspects and take

decision keeping in mind the benefits of the community.

Business and trade also benefits through insurance .without insurance ,trade and

commerce is expose to perils and it will find it difficulty to face the impact of such events

3.ADVANTAGES

It is incorrect to say that life insurance is investment or means savings .the saving and

investment option are deposits in the banks ,in national saving certificate in mutual funds

and all o0ther savings certificates ,in mutual funds and all other saving

instrumental .money invested in buying share and stocks are at risks of being lost in the

fluctuation of the stock market .assuming there is no loss ,the money available at any

time is the amount invested plus appreciation .in life insurance the fund available better is

not the total of saving all ready period (premium paid) ,but the amount one wishes to

have at the end of saving period according to his choice .hence life insurance can not be

substituted as there are no other scheme that proved this kind benefits .

Life insurance has the following advantage s in comparison to other form of

saving .settlement is easy in case of death .facility of nomination and assignment makes

the collection of money by the heirs quicker .now some bank accounts provide facility of

nomination .creditor can be protected against attachment by courts but can not claim the

life insurance moneys. there are tax benefits in income tax and n capital gains .a life

insurance policy is property an can be transferred or mortgaged and loans can be raged

against the policy as market ability are better .

5.INSURANCE IN INDIA

The Britishers opened general insurance in India around the year 1700.

The first company, known as the Sun Insurance Office Ltd. was set up in

Calcutta in the year 1710.

Insurance companies like Bombay Insurance Company Ltd was established

in 1793.

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 of nineteenth century insurance business was almost entirely in the

hands of overseas companies.

Insurance regulation formally began in India with the passing of the Life

Insurance Companies 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 of

1938 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

funds for rapid industrialization.

LITERATURE REVIEW

ARTICLES

1. Aegon Religare Life enters health insurance

—P.V.Sivakumar

Mr Yateesh Srivastava(right), Chief Marketing Officer, Aegon Religare Life Insurance,

and Mr Pradeep Pandey, Vice-President (Health), at the launch of the health plan in

Hyderabad on Tuesday.

Hyderabad, Aug. 17,2010

Aegon Religare Life Insurance (ARLI) has entered into health insurance segment by

launching a fixed benefit health plan.

The Aegon Religare Health Plan will provide for room and medical expenses, intensive

care unit charges and reimbursement for the cover agreed upon even if the actual cost is

lesser, Mr Yateesh Srivastava, Chief Marketing Officer, ARLI, told newspersons here on

Tuesday.

“We have already soft-launched the plan and could sell 5,000 policies in four weeks. We

are targeting over 50,000 policies with a combined premium of Rs 20 crore from this

product, during the current fiscal year,” he said.

Available in four categories, the plan will provide a total benefit of Rs 4.90 lakh to Rs

12.25 lakh with an annual premium of approximately Rs 1,000 for a Rs 1 lakh cover for a

person, he added. On the product pipeline, Mr Srivastava said that the company was

awaiting approval from the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority for three

unit-linked insurance plans and one traditional product.

The ULIP products have been re-designed in tune with IRDA's recent norms. “Though

the products carry the old brand names, the substance will be different,” he added. As

announced earlier, Rs 450 crore of capital will be infused to the existing Rs 660-crore

capital base of the company, during the year. “We have already infused Rs 90 crore in

this,” he said. Aegon Religare is aiming to close 2010-11 with Rs 500 crore received

premium (as against Rs 166 crore last year), he added.

2. Aegon Religare eyes Web to sell health insurance

Kolkata, May 28

Encouraged by good customer response to the online term insurance delivery model,

Aegon Religare Life Insurance is looking at selling health insurance on the Web,

according to its Managing Director and Chief Executive, Mr Rajiv Jamkhedkar.

The company, which started operations in 2008, is planning to launch its first health

insurance product in two months. “Looking at the response for our online term insurance

product iTerm, we are now exploring possibilities of making other upcoming policies like

health insurance available on the Web,” Mr Jamkhdekar said. He however maintained

that the company would need to get IRDA's approval before taking a call on this. iTerm,

which claims to be the cheapest term insurance policy in the country, has so far collected

about Rs 4.5 crore premium from more than 4,000 customers. The total premium

underwritten by the company in 2009-10 was Rs 166 crore. The premium charge of

iTerm is about 30 per cent lower than term policies sold in the agency model as it

discounts the commission charges.

“The average investment kitty in this policy is about Rs 12,000 and it is bought by

customers who are thoroughly aware of the market,” Mr Jamkhedkar said. The proposed

health policy, however, would have to be customised for the online version, he added.

The company was also looking at launching annuity products this year, he said, adding

that it was open to coming out with variable annuity if the regulator permits the same.

“Our foreign partner Aegon has a strong presence in this segment in the world market

and we expect the product to come up in India in one year,” he said.

3. AEGON RELIGARE LIFE INSURANCE : E-SALES

A unique e-Sales channel was developed by this insurance company enabling customers

to plan & buy policies online

Tuesday, June 01, 2010

In this era of cut throat competition insurance

companies are finding innovative ways of reaching more customers and simplifying

processes. ARLI developed an online distribution channel to sell life insurance policies

online where a customer can complete all steps from enquiry to purchase in one-go at a

time & place of his choice. Customer can come to e-Sales portal and determine ideal

insurance amount needed by him, compare it with other insurance products of the same

category, fill some basic information about him and his family, make payment and get

secure. In the background e-Sales portal interacts real-time with various core systems like

policy administration system, customer relationship management system, and workflow

system to ensure information about customer and policy is tracked online and served

back to customer if required online. e-Sales portal is designed to do automated

underwriting with the help of a rules engine. It's also integrated with a payment gateway

to enable payment using credit card and Internet banking. Its automated workflow directs

users to various steps depending on data entered by them in previous steps. Post

deployment the online sales has crossed 3000 policies in the last 4 months with more than

3 crore rupees in premium collection.

4. MUMBAI: AEGON RELIGARE LIFE INSURANCE (ARLI) LAUNCHED ITS

NEW FIXED-BENEFIT HEALTH INSURANCE PLAN, AEGON

The plan offers coverage of all surgeries, guaranteed payment in case of claims

and a cashless facility at over 3,000 hospitals, a press release issued here stated.

"Medical expenses are increasing, making health insurance a must. However, it is

critical to have certainty of payout. A comprehensive fixed benefit plan plays a

very important role as this tends to remove the surprise element from claims. Our

plan is designed such to provide comprehensive coverage and fixed benefits,"

ARLI Chief Marketing Officer Yateesh Srivastava said.

The plan would be distributed through the company's regular channels and would

also be available online, the release said.

The plan covers all kinds of surgeries, including 240 day care treatments and 10

critical illnesses, and guarantees a fixed amount of money, irrespective of the

actual hospital bill, the release said.

Under the health insurance plan, the company guarantees a fixed premium rate for

three years, which means in case of a claim in the first or second year, the

premium will not increase.

The benefit amount under the plan would increase by 10 per cent for every no

claim year (the maximum increase will be capped at 50 per cent) and can be

renewed till the age of 85.

child receives full sum assured immediately and 100% of fund value on maturity of

Retirement Plans

The rising inflation has put the fear of the unseen in every working person’s life.

Today, more than ever, it is vital that you save for the golden years post retirement so

that you can maintain your lifestyle as today

SALES STRATEGY AND IMPLEMENTATION

1) Emphasize service and ongoing support. We must avoid selling only one policy at

the lowest price for each customer and concentration account selling which greatly

enhances client retention.

2) Build an Insurance Partnership. The customer does not want to shop every year for

a new broker. Concentrate on building a long term relationship with our customers

and make the client and our staff appreciate the value of a long-term relationship.

3) Focus on target markets. We must focus on personal and business customers that

we identify and select to insure, instead of allowing potential customers to choose us,

which could result in our brokerage attracting problem clients from other brokers.

MARKETING STRATEGY

1) Emphasize service and support.

2) Build a partnership business based on account selling.

3) Focus on senior, claims-free personal lines business and the profitable, well-run,

small family business.

4) Target small, non-franchise business that does not have access to group insurance

plans.

5) Investigate acquiring other brokerages in our area.

PROMOTION STRATEGY

We have depended in the past on a small advertisement in our local newspaper, listings in

the Yellow Pages, and word of mouth. We must begin to investigate alternate ways to put

our name in front of the public.

1) All advertising has to emphasize our differentiation point rather than price. We

will be developing a "Now what do I do?" message to emphasize the need for

dealing with Acme's insurance professionals so that in the event a loss occurs, you

know you have the proper protection.

2) We must sell the company, not the product. In spite of some companies' efforts to

minimize the importance of the broker, our clients still identify with the broker,

not the insurance company.

3) We must improve and increase our contacts with our clients. All clients should be

contacted before renewal to ensure covers are current and adequate. Also, new

insurance should be solicited. We are investigating the production of a company

newsletter or use of the I.B.A.O. newsletter which is distributed on a bi-annual

basis.

4) We have put our email address in our newspaper advertising, but we must be

careful about attracting clients from out of the area who may be difficult to

service and properly inspect.

5) Make contacts and support senior citizen groups and cottage associations. Identify

sports and hobby groups that involve seniors and cottagers.

DISTRIBUTION STRATEGY

1) Select Seniors We will give special attention to this market in our advertising.

We will make a concerted effort to support and sponsor seniors programs in our

area. We will seek out Cottage associations and offer support and advice to

attract new senior clients who are recently retired or about to in the near future.

2) Insurance Partners We will include inserts in renewal, endorsements, and

correspondence stressing the importance of the insured taking an active interest

and responsibility for trying to control the severity and number of claims. Our

staff should take every opportunity, when discussing insurance with a client, to

emphasize the consequences of multiple claims.

3) Business Partners Again we should encourage insureds to take responsibility

for controlling claims in partnership with their broker by installing alarm systems

and continuing to maintain and upgrade their property. We should stress the

benefit that good loss ratios help to control rates and ensure markets that want to

write their business.

POSITIONING STATEMENT

Our target market is Smalltown District. The ideal client is claims-free aged between 45 -

75 who owns his own home and car and is debt free. Has exhibited stable family patterns

and is known and respected in the community.

A similar profile should be used for commercial prospects with emphasis placed on the

well-run, profitable business that has exhibited good claims experience.

PRICING STRATEGY

Our customers are especially sensitive to value. We must ensure that our price and

service are perceived to be good value to our client.

Our markets must offer several payment options to our clients that are convenient to the

client, not just to the company. Example - payment on insured's preferred day of month,

not on the company's, and accepting payment by credit or debit card. Many insureds are

on a fixed income and receive their income on a set day of each month or a paycheck on

a particular day.

We encourage our companies to "Target Market." Many of our companies are now

focusing on what they have perceived to be profitable niche markets, where they can

offer a competitive product with little, if any, competition.

We are seeing our commercial markets now moving toward basic coverage and limiting

the "bells and whistles," all-risk products available to only those clients who have

modern, well-managed, profitable, low-risk operations. This should help stabilize pricing

and, even more important, ensure that there is an insurance market available for most

risks. Continued insistence by the industry on better protection, i.e. fire and burglar

alarms, upgrading of buildings, etc., have started to lower loss ratios.

Many of the larger insurance markets have increased minimum premiums to $1,000 for

any commercial package policy. Our Lloyds market should be able to accommodate these

customers with a minimum premium of approximately $600.

SALES STRATEGY

We want to emphasize the benefit of dealing with professionals who live and work in our

client's area. We know their needs and their problems and we have a local reputation to

protect, unlike an out-of-town market. If the out-of-town broker fails to provide proper

cover or advice, they lose one client. We could stand to lose many if the public perceives

a professional failure on our part.

Competitive prices for our identified target markets. Discounts of up to 25% for claims-

free seniors who renew their home insurance with us.

Careful inspection and the judicious use of deductibles and warranties for insureds using

wood stoves should help alleviate company concerns about solid fuel heating devices.

Competitive pricing is not an important factor to attract business because competition is

very limited for primary wood heat houses in our area. This may provide a chance to pick

up all of the insured's business because, in many instances, they contact us after being

told by their previous broker that, in spite of their claims-free status, the broker doesn't

want their house insurance.

Business partners provide us the opportunity to sell lower-priced, basic insurance

coverage to our client. Many clients have expressed interest in retaining part or all of the

insurance risk, especially for burglary. They feel that if they have installed central alarms

and bars, they can take the chance of self insurance.

Sales Programs

We are investigating sales incentives for our producers. They must encourage profitable

new business and have a retention component. Presently, our producers receive $10 for

every new policy written in our office, with the exception of recreational vehicles.

SALES FORECAST

The following table and related charts show our present sales forecast. We are projecting

sales to grow at a moderate but steady pace for the coming year and to continue into

1997.

.

SERVICE AND SUPPORT

Aegon Religare is really a group of small brokerages housed under one name and

location. Our producers are each responsible for a book of business. They sell, service,

handle claims and are responsible for their accounts receivable. We have found over the

years that our clients prefer to deal with one broker who is aware of their particular

needs.

MILESTONES

We have listed our plan milestones in the table below.

INSURANCE BUSINESS PLAN

By focusing on its strengths, its present client base, and new value priced products in the

next year, Aegon Religare plans to increase gross sales by 10% and profit by 15%.

Our Keys to Success and critical factors for the next year are, in order of importance:

Identify "Target Markets."

Institute our Property inspection program.

Begin our "Insurance Partners" program.

Develop a profitable property program.

Provide small businesses with an affordable basic business package.

Aegon religare has been profitable, but recently we have had  declining market share  and

this must be addressed. Therefore our goals are:

To re-establish Aegon religare as the market leader in quality and value-priced

insurance products in Smalltown District.

Establish good working relationships with our present insurance markets by

meeting with their decision makers and plotting a mutual plan for success. Get

commitments for support and products that we can market in our trading area

starting April 1st of Year 1.

Investigate new markets that meet our marketing criteria by a) committing to

small rural brokerage; b) providing products suitable to our economic and social

climate; and c) plans for the upload and download of insurance policies.

Provide sales incentives to staff to meet sales goals of 10%.

Complete inspection of all Pilot homeowners within one month before renewal

date.

Formulate plans to acquire another brokerage

Aegon religare is dedicated to providing insurance products that provide quality

protection with value pricing. We wish to establish a successful partnership with our

clients, our staff members, and our insurance companies, that respect the interests and

goals of each party.

Success will be measured by our clients choosing us because of their belief in our ability

to meet or exceed their expectations of price, service, and expertise.

In order to implement our strategic goals, we will focus on developing the following

tools.

1) Knowledgeable, friendly staff that can empathize with our consumers needs and

circumstances, especially in handling a loss.

2) Policies that meet or exceed the expectations of our clients, and that are affordable,

available, and understandable.

3) Policies and endorsements delivered on time with minimal errors.

4) A commitment to an annual insurance review for all of our clients. A phone call is

more than any direct mass marketer offers. We believe personal contact and service is

the cornerstone of our success.

Aegon religare primarily markets and services Personal Lines Insurance. Its customers

are mostly rural, lower income families or long time resident senior citizens who demand

value priced insurance premiums in keeping with their lower and fixed incomes.

We also provide insurance to small business, mostly family-run seasonal operations

primarily focused on the tourist trade.

Aegon religare is a privately incorporated company in the Smalltown district and is

licensed to transact both Life and General Insurance. The shares are held equally by John

Smith and Peter Smith.

In Nexttown, we operate from an 800 square foot, one-story brick veneer building

overlooking Lake Small, which again is owned by the principals of our firm. The office is

strategically located across from the Post Office.

We have stressed to our insureds the importance of good communication between the

broker and client to insure proper coverage is in place. We have noticed as our clients

become better informed about insurance that there has been a tremendous increase in

clients wishing in-depth discussions about their policy coverage and how they can get the

most value for their insurance dollar.

AEGON strength lies in the quality and depth of our products and staff. Our offices,

unlike our competition, are open six days a week. Because of our larger staff, we are able

to service our clients even when a client's broker is busy or out of the office on

inspections.

Company’s staff has specialists in commercial insurance that can properly service and

underwrite local business. We also have some quality commercial markets unavailable to

our competition.

The past few years have seen tremendous upheaval in the insurance industry. The number

of players has decreased in both the broker and company communities. The recession has

curtailed insureds from properly maintaining their homes and automobiles, and insurance

fraud has become a major issue for the entire insurance industry.

Brokers are concerned that in spite of commission reductions, quotas, contract

cancellations, and refusal to write new auto business by some markets, they now may

find themselves in competition with some of the traditional broker distribution companies

that are setting up direct marketing facilities and branches. The banks now have

announced they will open stand alone insurance offices to retail insurance.

In spite of the above, we believe that the independent broker will survive. We are more

automated than most service industries. We are close to the customer, regardless of some

insurance companies' attempts to sever the traditional broker-client relationship. Our

clients, in most cases, still do not care or know which company we place them with. They

trust our judgement in selecting the proper coverage and company to place them in.

We have depended in the past on a small advertisement in our local newspaper, listings in

the Yellow Pages, and word of mouth. However with the changes in the market today, we

must begin to investigate alternate ways to put our name in front of the public. We have

set out several criteria for our marketing campaign that include"

All advertising has to emphasize our differentiation point rather than price.

We must sell the company, not the product. In spite of some companies' efforts to

minimize the importance of the broker, our clients still identify with the broker,

not the insurance company.

We must improve and increase our contacts with our clients.

Make contacts and support senior citizen groups and cottage associations.

Based on these changes in our goals, outlook, and company culture, we anticipate that we

will be able to increase revenues substantially by year 3 of the plan and increase net profit

handsomely. The company does not anticipate any cash flow problems.

3. KEYS TO SUCCESS

We believe the keys to success in a small town insurance business are:

circumstances, especially in handling a loss.

2. Policies that meet or exceed the expectations of our clients, and that are

affordable, available, and understandable.

SERVICES

Aegon religare is committed to providing professional sales and service for its insurance

customers. We have established what we consider to be an excellent reputation in our

area, and are the largest multi-line insurance broker in our trading area.

1. SERVICE DESCRIPTION

Aegon religare provides home, automobile, and business insurance in Smalltown

District. We take pride in knowing that for over 50 years we have helped our clients to

find the best coverage at the right price that suits their needs and expectations. In the

event of a claim, our clients know that we are there to provide help and counsel to ensure

a fast, speedy claim settlement.

Like other independent brokers, we issue binders and new policies, endorsements and

process renewals. We have stressed to our insureds the importance of good

communication between the broker and client to insure proper coverage is in place. We

have noticed as our clients become better informed about insurance that there has been a

tremendous increase in clients wishing in-depth discussions about their policy coverage

and how they can get the most value for their insurance dollar. We also provide insurance

services to non-clients, such as lawyers and mortgagees, to ensure our mutual clients

have proper coverage and binding notes in place for the purchase of homes, businesses,

and automobiles.

2. COMPETITIVE COMPARISON

Our company's strength lies in the quality and depth of our products and staff. Our

offices, unlike our competition, are open six days a week. Because of our larger staff, we

are able to service our clients even when a client's broker is busy or out of the office on

inspections. Our staff has specialists in commercial insurance that can properly service

and underwrite local business. We also have some quality commercial markets

unavailable to our competition.

Since we are brokers, (not agents such as Co-operators), we have access to a range of

standard and specialty markets.

3. SALES LITERATURE

We have recently produced a pamphlet titled "Insurance Partners" which stresses that a

successful insurance partnership between the client, the broker, and the company is based

upon a new concept.

Not only do the broker and the company take responsibility for proper protection and

indemnity in the event of loss, but in the 1990's, the client must also take his share of

responsibility to insure the safety of his property by keeping it well maintained and using

qualified professionals to update or change the heating, electrical, and plumbing systems

in his home. We stress that multiple claims or claims arising out of poor maintenance

may adversely affect his insurance.

In addition to the above, our brokerage uses a number of boilerplate letters on our

computer system that are sent along with various types of policies explaining unique

features or limitations in the contracts to avoid possible Errors and Omissions claims.

They also encourage our clients to contact us about reviewing their coverage and promote

other products and services we provide.

4. FUTURE SERVICES

Although Stan Smith started out as a life insurance agent, the "life" part of our business

represents only 1% of our sales. We are looking to strengthen this part of our operation in

the future. Due to the complexity and number of life and disability products, we are

presently using an outside service: Atlantic-Smith Insurance out of North Town, although

two of our general insurance producers have life agent licenses.

We are in the process of setting up a substandard property market. We feel that there is a

need for this service and that it can be profitable if strictly underwritten with proper

controls in place.

MARKET ANALYSIS SUMMARY

Recent demographic studies in our area reveal a total year-round population of

approximately 13,000, which rises in the summer to approximately 25,000. We have a

relatively high number of seniors and many younger, newly-formed families dependent

on government assistance living mostly in a rural, unserviced, thinly populated area. This

makes it costly to service our clients. Long distance phone bills represent our second

largest expense (our two offices each have their own toll free phone numbers) and the

cost of visiting our insureds to do home inspections is time consuming due to the large

area we service.

We are targeting seniors which have proven to be a profitable, stable market for our

brokerage in spite of our present difficult economy.

We are fortunate that we have not yet had the intrusion to a large degree of mass

merchandising programs like "Silver Power." Smaller brokers have made inroads into our

traditional rural business, with low cost farm markets that sell home and auto insurance.

We understand that some of these markets are in a poor financial position and may cease

to be a factor in the future.

1. MARKET SEGMENTATION

Our market consists of senior citizens, lower-income young families (many of who are on

social assistance) and the small, family-run business (many of which are seasonal and

based on the tourist trade). There are a few industrial risks and those that are located here

are branches of larger industries which obtain their insurance through large brokers in

Bigtown.

Our target market is the seniors, family business, and middle income earners in our area.

Statistics show that over 42% of our permanent population is above 45 years of age. The

average family income is approximately $27,000 and the unemployment rate 9%.

We are cautious about encouraging business from lower income prospects since they tend

to have wood heat, homes in poor repair, and many attempt to install and repair their own

plumbing, wiring, and heating systems.

Another market of concern is out-of-area clients who may have been payment or claim

problems to local brokers and attempt to find a distant broker to provide coverage instead

of making the necessary adjustments in their own lifestyle to prevent claims.

Clients who have moved repeatedly can be difficult to obtain proper underwriting

information and past claims experience on, and we feel our staff is to be commended for

their ability to properly assess if a client should be placed to our standard markets or

would be better served by a specialty company.

2. SERVICE BUSINESS ANALYSIS

The past few years have seen tremendous upheaval in the insurance industry. The number

of players has decreased in both the broker and company communities. The automobile

product has, in the mind of the public, become unaffordable, unavailable, and impossible

to understand. The recession has curtailed insureds from properly maintaining their

homes and automobiles, and to exacerbate the situation, many clients have turned to

wood heat and started doing their own repairs and maintenance which may have

increased the number and severity of claims. Insurance fraud has become a major issue

for the entire insurance industry.

Our traditional close relationship with our companies has been strained. Brokers are

concerned that in spite of commission reductions, quotas, contract cancellations, and

refusal to write new auto business by some markets, they now may find themselves in

competition with some of the traditional broker distribution companies that are setting up

direct marketing facilities and branches. The banks, even though thwarted by the federal

government in its last budget to retail insurance from their premises, will continue

pressure on the government and now have announced they will open stand alone

insurance offices to retail insurance.

In spite of the above, we believe that the independent broker will survive. We are more

automated than most service industries. We are close to the customer, regardless of some

insurance companies' attempts to sever the traditional broker-client relationship. Our

clients, in most cases, still do not care or know which company we place them with. They

trust our judgement in selecting the proper coverage and company to place them in.

The new federal government is close to adopting a new automobile contract that

hopefully will make it affordable, understandable, and available to our clients. A

profitable automobile product will entice the companies to aggressively seek new sales

and more brokers will see companies offering contracts.

Upload/download capabilities are in many brokers offices, including our own. This will

cut costs, improve efficiency and accuracy, and help us meet the competition from banks

and direct writers. Companies that truly value and trust the broker distribution system

will align themselves with professional brokers and grant more underwriting authority

similar to Lloyds.

3. COMPETITION AND BUYING PATTERNS

The main volume of income for our brokerage is generated by automobile premiums

because they are relatively higher priced to insure than property, and because automobile

insurance is mandatory in the region. As stated previously, our success is dependent on

our staff and our companies convincing our clients and prospective clients that price,

although important, is not the only criteria for the purchase of insurance. Our advertising

stresses that we have two offices, open six days a week with after-hours support and we

have been an active, concerned, community involved, local business since 1938.

Still, price is very important and we must work with our markets to ensure that our

insurance products are available and affordable to a large part of the market. It is the

broker's job to ensure the client understands what he is buying, and if circumstances

dictate a lower-priced product, we must make our insured aware of the trade-off in

coverage versus price.

4.DISTRIBUTING A SERVICE

Our trading area is rural. Premiums are relatively low and therefore not subject to large

brokerages or specialty direct writers mounting aggressive advertising campaigns to bring

in business. There are few group plans providing insurance coverage with the exception

of our teachers. Smalltown has two independent brokers and a Co-Operators agent,

Nexttown has two independent brokers, and Southtown has one. We have just started to

see some move by locals to "Silver Power" and other specialty retailers who advertise on

radio and television. The banks are still a future unknown.
