    INTRODUCTION

    NEED FOR STUDY:

    Customer perceptions are dynamic. First of all, with the developing relationship between customer and

    company, his perceptions of the company and its products or services will change. The more experience

    the customer accumulates, the more his perceptions will shift from fact-based judgments to a more

    general meaning the whole relationship gains for him. Over time, he puts a stronger focus on the

    consequence of the product or service consumption. Moreover, if the customers circumstances change,

    their needs and preferences often change too. In the external environment, the offerings of competitors,

    with which a customer compares a product or service will change, thus altering his perception of the best

    offer around. Another point is that the public opinion towards certain issues can change. This effect can

    reach from fashion trends to the public expectation of good corporate citizenship. Shells intention to

    dump its Brent Spar platform into the ocean significantly altered many customers perception of which

    company was worth buying fuel from. Research has been donning on the impact of market share on the

    perceived quality of a product Depending on the nature of the product and the customers preferences,

    increasing market share can have positive or negative effects on how the customer perceives the product.

    In these days customer perception is very important .When compared to customer perception of the

    insurance company to other insurance company. The customer perception is showing the problems of

    company. One company to other company will be show the difference of the customer services like high

    quality, low price, offering door delivery service and sometimes company offering free demo class

    regarding some electronic products. Thats why many people are attracted to private organization.

    Customer perception is an important component of our relationship with our customers. Given that 90%plus of our orders at some point involve the phone, how we handle the telephone is essential to creating aperception for our customer that aligns with a companys mission of service. The following is a great way

    of handling the phone.

    1. The greeting is Good Morning/Afternoon this is Joshua with (your company name). How may I help

    you?

    2. Always ask and receive a response from people before you put them on hold, Would you please hold .

    . ? then be sure they are not on hold very long otherwise offer to call them back.

    3. Remember to smile on the phone. Slow down and speak plainly and clearly. Smiling stretches your

    vocal cords, and gives a more upbeat presentation to the customer. Slowing down ensures that thecustomers perception is of an organized systematic company that can handle their project. Getting it

    done right and on time consistently.

    4. If you transfer a call and know who is calling, tell the name of the caller to your co-worker so they can

    greet the person by their name.

    5. Under no circumstances should any interaction with a client be used to express any sense of overwhelm

    that you may have. We are swamped, we are so busy, and etc. may be acceptable office banter in most

    companies but it really should not be! If I am a customer and I am looking to get a rush project done, this

    type of comment tells me that I might want to consider looking elsewhere. Customers do not care how

    busy we are when they call and ask, How busy are you? What they really care about is can we take careof another project they have for us.

    We know from talking to clients that often they feel that they are bothering us or have a concern that they

    might be overloading us. It is curious to know that sometimes these are our best clients that have this

    concern. Therefore, anything that might reinforce this is something we want to avoid (you do not need to

    send your work to other vendors even though you have given us a lot of work already, we can handle it).

    One possible response to Are you busy? is to say, We are busy, but never too busy to help you - what

    can I do for you? or words to that effect. They are the customers. They do not want to hear about our

    situation they want to talk about what we can do for them.

    6. If we have to contact a customer with bad news of any kind realize that your tone of voice and

    approach to it set the tone. We do not want to be nonchalant as if it is not big deal. Nor do we want to act

    like a terrible calamity occurred. Here are keys to contacting customers with bad news:

    Prepare rehearse and organize what you are going to communicate to them and how you are going to

    communicate it to them.

    Be sure there is no hint of blame or avoiding responsibility. Customers do not care about the folder

    being broken, the copier jamming or any other things. That is our problem. It is not their problem and

    they actually do not want to hear about it. Certainly, later in the conversation if they ask, what the source

    of the delay, problem, etc. is you can share that with them, but it should not be something that you want to

    volunteer early in the conversation.

    Be absolutely certain that you have options to give the customer in these situations. This allows them to

    be more in control rather than a victim. What are options? What are solutions? Do not call them with the

    problem unless you are also providing solutions to them.

    Learn what you could have done to prevent this problem from occurring and do so next time. Again, the

    customer is calling us to take on their problems and to solve their problems. They really do not want (nor

    do they care) to know about our problems.

    7. Remember to always thank the customer. Thank them for calling. Thank them for their business.

    Thank them for cooperation and understanding. Thank them for a well prepared electronic file. Thankthem for a referral. Thank them for the professional manner in which they and their company interact

    with us.

    8. Realize that gossiping and complaining about the customer is only a recipe for tearing down therelationship with them. How could the gossip or complaint be turned into a dialogue with them (ratherthan your monologue being put on loud speaker to your co-workers) so as to help give them an

    extraordinary experience? Getting into communication with customers about what we need from them

    and what are ways that they can improve what they are doing, so that we can do a better job for them,

    provides them with an extraordinary experience. To be of true service - to be a true partner - to help busy

    people like them - we need to do more proactive direction of our customers or at least providing them

    with ideas, options, suggestions and ways that they can improve.

    6/33

    We are really taking on making it easy and effective for them to communicate with their audiences. We

    need to expand beyond what happens within our own four walls to what is actually happening in their

    companies. Consistently getting projects completed accurately and on or ahead of schedule is very good.

    The next level for us is greatness. Greatness offers us the possibility of helping our customers transform

    how they manage their communications. Complaining and gossiping about customers keeps us fromdoing that. This is very different than from our heart seeking to improve things for our customer and for

    ourselves by getting into communication with them, dialogue with them with a rich understanding anddeep appreciation of their business and their challenges.

    9. be curious do not take things for granted with customers. Why are they doing this project? What are

    they hoping to get from it? Why are they not asking us about this or that service? What changes are they

    making in their business? How is their business doing? All these things can help deepen our business

    relationship with the customer.

    Brief History of the Insurance Sector in India

    Insurance sector in India is one of the booming sectors of the economy and is growing at the rate

    of 15-20 per cent annum. Together with banking services, it contributes to about 7 per cent to thecountry's GDP. Insurance is a federal subject in India and Insurance industry in India is governed

    by Insurance Act, 1938, the Life Insurance Corporation Act, 1956 and General Insurance

    Business (Nationalization) Act, 1972, Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA)

    Act, 1999 and other related Acts.

    The origin of life insurance in India can be traced back to 1818 with the establishment of the

    Oriental Life Insurance Company in Calcutta. It was conceived as a means to provide for English

    Widows. In those days a higher premium was charged for Indian lives than the non-Indian lives

    as Indian lives were considered riskier for coverage. The Bombay Mutual Life Insurance Society

    that started its business in 1870 was the first company to charge same premium for both Indianand non-Indian lives. In 1912, insurance regulation formally began with the passing of Life

    Insurance Companies Act and the Provident Fund Act.

    By 1938, there were 176 insurance companies in India. But a number of frauds during 1920s and

    1930s tainted the image of insurance industry in India. In 1938, the first comprehensive

    legislation regarding insurance was introduced with the passing of Insurance Act of 1938 that

    provided strict State Control over insurance business.

    Insurance sector in India grew at a faster pace after independence. In 1956, Government of India

    brought together 245 Indian and foreign insurers and provident societies under one nationalized

    monopoly corporation and formed Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) by an Act of Parliament,viz. LIC Act, 1956, with a capital contribution of Rs.5 crore.

    The (non-life) insurance business/general insurance remained with the private sector till 1972.

    There were 107 private companies involved in the business of general operations and their

    operations were restricted to organized trade and industry in large cities. The General Insurance

    Business (Nationalization) Act, 1972 nationalized the general insurance business in India witheffect from January 1, 1973. The 107 private insurance companies were amalgamated and

    grouped into four companies: National Insurance Company, New India Assurance Company,

    Oriental Insurance Company and United India Insurance Company. These were subsidiaries ofthe General Insurance Company (GIC).

    In 1993, the first step towards insurance sector reforms was initiated with the formation ofMalhotra Committee, headed by former Finance Secretary and RBI Governor R.N. Malhotra.

    The committee was formed to evaluate the Indian insurance industry and recommend its future

    direction with the objective of complementing the reforms initiated in the financial sector.

    Key Recommendations of Malhotra Committee

    Structure

  • 8/8/2019 Management Thesis Final Report1

    9/33

    Government stake in the insurance Companies to be brought down to 50%.

    Government should take over the holdings of GIC and its subsidiaries so that these

    subsidiaries can act as independent corporations.

    All the insurance companies should be given greater freedom to operate.

    Competition

    Private Companies with a minimum paid up capital of Rs.1billion should be allowed to

    enter the industry.

    No Company should deal in both Life and General Insurance through a single Entity.

    Foreign companies may be allowed to enter the industry in collaboration with the

    domestic companies.

    Postal Life Insurance should be allowed to operate in the rural market.

    Only one State Level Life Insurance Company should be allowed to operate in each state.

    Regulatory Body

    The Insurance Act should be changed. An Insurance Regulatory body should be set up.

    Controller of Insurance should be made independent.

    Investments

    Mandatory Investments of LIC Life Fund in government securities to be reduced from

    75% to 50%.

    GIC and its subsidiaries are not to hold more than 5% in any company.

    Customer Service

    LIC should pay interest on delays in payments beyond 30 days Insurance companies must be encouraged to set up unit linked pension plans.

    Computerization of operations and updating of technology to be carried out in the

    insurance industry.

    Malhotra Committee also proposed setting up an independent regulatory body - The Insurance Regulatory

    and Development Authority (IRDA) to provide greater autonomy to insurance companies in order to

    improve their performance and enable them to act as independent companies with economic motives.

    Insurance sector in India was liberalized in March 2000 with the passage of the Insurance Regulatory and

    Development Authority (IRDA) Bill, lifting all entry restrictions for private players and allowing foreign

    players to enter the market with some limits on direct foreign ownership. There is a 26 percent equity cap

    for foreign partners in an insurance company. There is a proposal to increase this limit to 49 percent. Theopening up of the insurance sector has led to rapid growth of the sector. Presently, there are 16 life

    insurance companies and 15 non-life insurance companies in the market. The potential for growth of

    insurance industry in India is immense as nearly 80 per cent of Indian population is without life insurance

    cover while health insurance and non-life insurance continues to be well below international standards.

    nationalized. LIC formed by an Act of Parliament, viz. LIC Act, 1956, with a capital contribution of Rs. 5

    crore from the Government of India.

    The General insurance business in India, on the other hand, can trace its roots to the Triton Insurance

    Company Ltd., the first general insurance company established in the year 1850 in Calcutta by the British.

    Some of the important milestones in the general insurance business in India are:

    1907 - The Indian Mercantile Insurance Ltd. set up, the first company to transact all classes of generalinsurance business.

    Tariff Advisory Committee set up.

    1972 - The General Insurance Business (Nationalization) Act, 1972 nationalized the general insurance

    business in India with effect from 1st January 1973.

    107 insurers amalgamated and grouped into four companys viz. the National Insurance Company Ltd.,

    the New India Assurance Company Ltd., the Oriental Insurance Company Ltd. and the United India

    Insurance Company Ltd. GIC incorporated as a company.
