Intelligent guys at Insurance Companies

India is ill insured country is what the world bank commented. Our penetration rates of insurance products are very low and there exists a huge market potential. Because of this there is heavy influx of many insurance global giants to India.
In race to grab this lucrative market pie some of these companies are leaving no stones unturned. One such out of box idea is selling insurance through MBA students. MBA student as per the circulars, have to do few mini projects and inplant training. So these Insurance companies approach the MBA’s institutions in which they allow MBA students to do project in their company provided the students inducted bring-in some policies from their friends and relatives. Students are given a one day training and asked to sell the policies with no or meagre monetary compensation. Insurance companies also give assurance that on meeting the targets they will be placed in the companies.
Benefits for the Insurance Company:
1.       They get policies with almost low selling cost as commission is nil or meagre and no allowance is paid.
2.       MBA’s student will be working for the company selling policy without been on company pay roll.
3.       The selling network grows with inclusion of MBA
4.       Companies get a ready talent pool with tried and tested candidates for hiring at the end of the MBA programme
Benefits for the MBA students:
1.       They get the so called feel of corporate environment.
2.       Feel of corporate pressure
3.       Better understanding of the theoretical concepts working in practical world
4.       And all round development of the students
But the sad thing is that many of these companies give more assurance and deliver less. Most of these insurance companies are interested in how many policies student bring from their friends and relatives taking the ethics and social responsibility to the new lows.

Police need some Marketing Gyaan

According to oxford dictionary Police means to keep in order, control and administer...... These very words which define police are the core words of every management definition of any management book taken. So basically police is administration and service of protecting and helping people.
By management gyaan citizens of India are the customers/clients of the Police. Police are the service providers while the citizens are the service receivers. So for effective service delivery the customers/clients need to happy.
Now imagine a situation where you meet with an accident while returning from a casual dinner with your family. Due to accident your daughter is hurt very badly and blood is rupturing out from deep cut at the fore head. Its blood everywhere. Now imagine the police constable arrived at the scene asking vehicle documents and checking driving license. He is asking questions to know whether you are financially sound or not. Remember this is all happening when your daughter is bleeding. Now further the police take your vehicle keys and your vehicle is taken away.
How would you feel when one of your loved one’s face full of pain and blood is lying on one side and police are chewing pan and smiling as they got a new bakara to suck money. Do you expect someone to smile when your loved one is in shouting for treatment.
This is how our police behave in case of accident. This is how they deliver the worst service quality to their customers/clients. These guys require some lessons of marketing and customer relationship.
