Life insurers are striving to design imaginative products so as to ensure long-term commitment from the policyholders. In the process there is a need for the insurance advisors to play a key role in identifying the needs of the prospect and sell insurance so that long-term retention of customers is established. Introduction As the economy is developing, the mind set of the people is changing at a very fast pace. Insurance is a contract between two parties whereby one party called insurer undertakes in exchange for a fixed sum called premiums, to pay the other party called insured a fixed amount of money on the happening of a certain event. Insurance may be described as a social device to reduce or eliminate risk of life and property. Under the plan of insurance, a large number of people associate themselves by sharing risk, attached to individual. With the help of Insurance, large number of people exposed to a similar risk makes contributions to a common fund out of which the losses suffered by the unfortunate few, due to accidental events, are made good. Insurance is a tool by which fatalities of a small number are compensated out of funds collected from plenteous. Gradually as competition increased benefits given by industry to its customers increased by leaps and bounds. Insurance is a basic form of risk management which provides protection against possible loss to life or physical assets. Person who seeks protection against such loss is termed as insured, and company that promises to honor claim, in case such loss is actually incurred by insured, is termed as Insurer. In order to get insurance, insured is required to pay to insurance company a certain amount called premium. Premium is collected by insurance companies which acts as trustee to pool created through contributions made by persons * Professor & Director, Sherwood College of Management, Lucknow (U.P.) India.
2 158 Shailendra Kumar Chaturvedi seeking to protect themselves from common risk. Any loss to the insured in case of happening of an uncertain event is paid out of this pool. Insurance is a service sector wherein social as well as commercial aspects are involved. Insurance sector in India has emerged as one of the best promising sector in terms of employment. The life insurance sector is also buzz with activities. Private insurance companies are making inroads in the insurance market with aggressive marketing through new distribution channels. Literature Review Insurance is a form of contract or agreement under which one party agrees in return for a consideration to pay an agreed amount of money to another party to good for a loss, damage, or injury, to something of value in which the insured has a pecuniary interest as a result of some uncertain event Sahoo and Das (2009). Insurance advisors play an important role in widening the insurance market. Advisors are supposed to be the first person to meet the prospective buyers of insurance, need to be well trained and fully equipped with the knowledge about the product. Every insurance advisor shall: Identify himself and the insurance company of whom he/she is an advisor. Disclose his license to the prospect on demand. Disseminate the requisite information in respect to insurance products offered for sale by his insurer and take into account the needs of the prospect while recommending a specific plan. It has been observed that insurance advisors should constantly monitor the level of satisfaction among his/her customer to keep themselves close to the customers for fulfilling their needs. Perceived services quality has a significant effect on the attitude towards obtaining insurance. Moreover, the degree of success in the implementation of enterprise mobilization in the life insurance industry is positively correlated to the management performance of external aspects like providing increased customer satisfaction (Arora and Stoner, 1996). Customer satisfaction and the salespersons relation orientation significantly influences the future business opportunities and as the salesperson s relation orientation significantly influences the future business opportunities and as the salespersons are able to enhance their relationships with the clients, clients are more satisfied and are more willing to trust, and thus secure the long-term demand for the services (Tam and Wong, 2001). Stafford et al. and Wells (1998) in a study on auto-casualty industry proved that reliability is consistently the most important determinant of both

A study done by Xumei Zhang at. el. (2007) has found that worrying about future, economical conditions, cognition about life insurance and adventure activities preference have significant positive effect on the intention of purchasing life insurance. An economical condition also has significant positive effect on the premium of purchasing life insurance; health status has significant negative effect on the premium of purchasing life insurance. Truett and Truett (1990) studied the impact of education on insurance. He found out that an increase in the number of educated people in a country may be associated directly with a greater recognition of various types of products offered by life insurance companies, leading to higher level of demand. Browne and Kim (1993) studied the positive influence of education on life insurance demand through its effect on the period of dependency. He concluded that individuals educated over longer period forgo the opportunity of full-time employment, and extend their reliance on the income stream of other working members of the family, increasing the demand for policies. It can also be proposed that these effects are exacerbated by the income effect of education. Beck and Webb (2003) also studied the positive impact of education on life insurance. He concluded that a better understanding of the benefits of risk-management and long-term savings may encourage risk aversion. Hwang and Gao (2003) studied several reasons to explain why life insurance consumption should rise with income. Firstly, there is no reason to believe that insurance is anything other than a normal good, in the sense that consumption is rising in income. Life Insurance Market The Life Insurance market in India is an underdeveloped market that was only tapped by the state owned LIC till the entry of private insurers. The penetration of life insurance products was 19 per cent of the total 400 million of the insurable population. The state owned LIC sold insurance as a tax instrument, not as a product giving protection. With the entry of the private insurers the rules of the game have changed. This has resulted in a sharp growth in the life insurance market, which still has huge untapped potential. Also, with economic advancement, India is moving from a static to a dynamic situation in which several changes are taking place in industry, social life, political situation etc. which gives birth to new categories of risk which have to be covered. The total life insurance premium gained by the public and private sector organizations from to are given below in the Table 1.

As the population to be covered for the study was very large, a representative sample of 90 respondents belonging to Lucknow (U.P) was taken. Analysis and Findings: The analysis for the research paper has been divided into two different segments. First segment shows the percentage of the respondents on the basis of (i) Not happy with their current job/financial situation, (ii) Need for supplementary source of income and (iii) Preference for supplementary source of income with the (i) Occupation, (ii) Age Group and (iii) Geographic Segmentation.

On the other hand 8 employees of private sector out of 15, 9 students out of 15 and 12 housewives out of 15 are not happy with their job/ financial situation.

Insurance advisors play an important role in widening the insurance market. Advisors are supposed to be the first person to meet the prospective buyers of insurance, need to be well trained and fully equipped with the knowledge about the product.
