Keywords: Training, marketing, life, development INTRODUCTION In today's competitive business environment and unpredictable than in the past, the company was forced to survival and to the business goals of the approach of marketing in the development of products accordance with customer requirements. The companies also follow this rule and the role of marketing in companies is of utmost importance. The first article of the Insurance Act, enacted in 1937, is a contract whereby one party promises in return for payment or funds on the other hand, or in the event of an accident, damage and compensate him or pay a certain way (Karimi, 2003). Since all functionality is the same company for companies is an important strategy is to market products. Management, sales and product management, marketing capabilities, two major companies in the sector is usable. Product management, development and commercialization of new products, product life cycle management or removal of product and sales, including market segmentation and targeting customer, sales, service and retain existing customers (Esfidani, 2011). So the company marketing personnel with experience in teaching is very important. Among the factors of production, human resources, undoubtedly the most important factor plays a key role in the production of goods and services. Efficient manpower can be an organization's most important asset. Training is in any organization, in order to promote the knowledge, skills, work, improvement and development of employees, and more efficient organization of great importance (Khesali, 2006). The process of marketing can be very important in the performance of vendors and advertisers have products. The present study aims to examine the effect of on the development of specialized marketing representatives' life The Branches Karafarin Tehran Province. 2- Literature Service Marketing Marketing is an administrative task. Marketing to achieve customer goals with the goals of the organization focuses on understanding customer needs, develop products and services to meet these needs, pricing products and services, inform customers about the availability of these products and services, delivery goods and ensure satisfaction

during and after the exchange process along. So it should be an essential part of the marketing companies, but many companies are marketing a bad interpretation. Some marketing fraud, waste though, annoying and unprofessional know. Traditionally, production and sale of the business is an important task. Marketing is a process responsible for identifying, anticipating and satisfying customer requirements profitably. This approach will be able to provide products or services in accordance with customer needs, not what they produce is expected to reach its customers (Iskati, 2001). Marketing determine and achieve human needs and the community. One of the shortest definitions of marketing is "estimate needs to be profitable" (the Kotler, 2006). Life Life is main branches of entities. Legally life a contract whereby the insurer undertakes in exchange for a premium that the insured's death or survival if he took a certain amount of money (of capital, or continuous) the insured or a third party be determined by the pay. Life operations are a lifelong commitment to the function (Esfandini et al., 2011). Effective Factors on Life Insurance Market Organizational and Managerial Structures Administrative organizations such as companies of various elements such as human resources, rules and regulations, structure and organization of work, management, training and equipping the workforce, the job classification and evaluation system, and the payment is made that each of these elements is very important. Since the organizational and institutional structures will have a major role in achieving the goals of the strategy in other words the structure (Tadbiri, 2004). The organizational structure of the life companies is in terms of the development of life in the country was not efficient. 1) Professional organization dedicated to providing life there. And policy development depends on customer satisfaction and effective structure, while the industry structure is designed in a way that is not enough sensitivity towards the customers and with the traditional act of a string and certain range, the under the customer looking has been (Tadbiri and the Asemipour, 2006). Thus, the creation and operation of specialized life companies seems to be vital to the understanding of how marketing and sales conditions, including life, how to accept the risk, the collection of premiums, accounting and investment funds and premiums mathematical reserves can better interact with policyholders insured and provide the discipline. 2) Support the organization of technical and companies so that does not help to develop individual life, for example, financial management and investment little difference between the life of the premium other disciplines discriminate In contrast, we do not need life accounting and financial cycle and the investment of reserve funds to provide desired services and protect the rights of done separately policyholders (Esfandiyani, 2011). Insufficient Selling Network Now the offer and sale of including life is done through the following. 1) Supplied directly from the company 2) Offered through brokers 3) Supply of natural and legal representatives of companies 4) The offered by life sales representatives 4) Marketers representing agents and brokers Sales and marketing network of agents and brokers, industry and in fact constitute the executive arm of the companies to sell their. Ability and development of sales channels, quality and quantity of the sales boom will follow. It has also caused confusion and weakness in the supply of in society. It can be said that one of the factors that have caused the industry in terms of achieving the desired level and composition fails services, of participate in the market failure of underdevelopment Sale networks be. Non-Broadcasting Favorite Culture for Insurance Culture is the set of values, beliefs, norms, customs, language and cultural heritage of a community that was inherited from its predecessors and to the culture of the people familiar with the types of and its recognition and acceptance of coverage to deal with the risks of, and the creation of the industry logic the country and increase sustainable interactional belief and positive attitude toward the industry, services and companies. The penetration rate, the number of optional purchased, the amount of premiums received and the way people interact with companies, represents institutionalized culture of the people. Necessity for Specialized Training of Marketing in companies It can be safely said that more than 0.80. These days the boundaries of what is the difference between a successful agents and brokers in the industry country, the issues of education and learning the tactics and techniques used to date in the marketing species letters. 223
