PREFACE
Indian insurance industry is emerging rapidly after year 2000. To survive in
this highly competitive scenario, managers are being pressured to
improve quality, recruit quality and skilled people and eliminate
inefficiency. The collective efforts of the employer, managers and other
relative people assume relevance in this context. And this is where
marketing management and human resources play important role.
Recruitment is very important in todays scenario. But still it is ignored andconsidered as a secondary aspect. In case of insurance industry
recruitment only decide success or failure of company.
I have made an attempt to study this aspect of Insurance industry in my
project. In this project, recruitment for developing channel at Max New
York Life is considered. I have tried to find out how exactly recruitment is
very important for this firm as well as this industry, which are the different
strategies firm use to recruit quality people and so on. It is more
qualitative rather than a quantitative data.
To get knowledge of above question and to fulfill the requirements for my
project on Channel Development at Max New York Life, I have worked in
MNYL and searched some internet sites.

B.1 ELIGIBILTY MODEL
From this eligibility model company judge prospective person. The
company follows unique eligibility criteria for AA selection by whichcompany is able is to always justify its mission. The basic objective of
having an eligibility model for recruitment is to have good retention and
greater effectiveness in the delivery of service.

Married people have more eager to earn money. Family pressures

helps him to get more business in short period.
4. Graduate:

Other criteria for AA selection:
1. Financial stability:
-
8/14/2019 mnyl project..
28/44
CHANNEL DEVELOPMENT AT MNYL.
MNYL is focuses on classes and not on masses thus they select strong
agent advisors.
2. To have a rich and active social circle:
It helps to get higher case rate and case size. Also the chances of policy
lapsing can be less and renewals can be more.
3. Greed for money:
Firm selects advisors who understand the language of commission.
Because people who want fix amount as their earnings are not suitable for
this business.
4. Independent:
MNYL select people who want to be entrepreneur. Housewives or brokers
who want flexible hours for work are prospective person for this business.
5. Persuasion:
He should be persuasive in nature because the AA needs to follow up onregular basis with prospective and new clients without being a nuisance
value.
6. Excellent interpersonal skills:
Because developing and maintaining good relations can get policies.
Secondly since most of the insurance companies provide a plethora of
similar products, sales depend on the convincing ability of the AA and therapport the AA is bale to build. Also results in C of Is.

D.1 KEY LEARNINGS
Before this internship project my knowledge about the insurance
industry was quite bleak. This internship in MNYL has immensely
helped me in categorizing the different financial products.
Another of my crucial learning has been in the area of
communication with the outside world. Finding a possible prospect
and then giving them information about the opportunities availablewas a really tough challenge.
Majority of the population in Chennai have a negative perception
about the insurance industry. Giving them appropriate information
about the opportunity to earn in this field was a challenging task.
Along with the information on the job, the staff ofMNYL also gave
many inputs that would definitely help in the management field.

D.2 EXPERIENCE
My Experience with MNYL will always be grateful for me. I learned many
things in MNYL. The very first thing I learned in MNYL is to handleobjections from the customers. Different type of scripts of MNYL helps in
this.
Working on deadline for achieving target is most crucial process in this
sector and I am thankful to my sales Manager who were always behind me
to support during initial call and helps me to complete my training.
The GO meet to reward successful AA and SM for the month is anotherexample which clearly emphasizes that MNYL has strong belief in
maintaining a healthy relationship with their stakeholders.
Overall Channel Development was a fair attempt from me. During the
internship I was able to make 175 names and recruited 3 out of that.
My telephonic conversation with the prospect always gave me a positive
direction to build my confidence and even in bad phase of response I
learnt the art of making calmness.
I shared a lot of activities with my colleagues. All the trainees from
different background also remained a source of energy for my daily
activities.

D.4 RECOMMENDATIONS
Max New York Life as an insurance firm has a very strong presence in India
and is rapidly expanding its operations in India. After working on thisproject I feel that following are some of the ways in which the company
can improve the current market base and selection procedure for AAs, the
key revenue generating resource for the company:
Very few people in India are aware of the company and its products.
The company should find more ways to market itself to the outside
world and create awareness about its existence and the efficiencies
of its varied excellent products.
Another suggestion to the company would be to reduce its timing for
the training program for the agent advisors. Most of the people
coming to MNYL are not satisfied with the timing of training and
return dejected.
Have a re-look at the existing product range and design products
which can attract masses rather than just serving only classes.
