INTRODUCTION

Wherever there is uncertainty there is risk. The risk cannot be averted. The
risk is uncertainty of the financial loss. We don t have any command on
uncertainties. This makes it essential that we think in favor of a device that
becomes instrumental in spreading the loss. It is in this context that we think
about insurance.
Protection against the possible chances of generating uncertain losses. It
eliminates worries and miseries of losses or destruction of property and
death.

Life insurance is a contract between you and a life insurance company,


which provided you a death during the contract term.
Buying insurance is extremely useful if you are the principal earning
member in the family unfortunate premature demise, your family can remain
financially secure because of the life that you have purchased.

years. Your retiren children s future needs. Today, the market offers
insurance plans that not just cover your same time grow your wealth too.

Having a family means dependant, which in turn means financial


commitments. Finance comes in the form of loans, children s education,

life suddenly or become disabled being insured in a situation like this is a
necessity.
When you insured your life, in effect what you are doing insuring your
earning capacity that your dependents will be able to continue living without
financial hardships even in case

Most insurance plans available today come with a savings element built into
it. These policies not only for a financially independents future, which were

available today have a bailt in saving elements. Kotak preferred Retirement
plans meet your dual financial goals of life cover and savings for the future.
Collateral security.

INTRODUCTION ON CUSTOMER SATISFACTION

The modern concepts of marketing realized that measuring consumer needs


or behavior was not enough." Consumer Satisfaction" should be the core and
then the correct perception on which marketing policies of our organization
should be built. "Management must think of itself not as producing products
but as providing customer creating value satisfaction." Customer satisfaction
has a vital role in sustaining and improving hold on the market. Brief
descriptions about the various measures that are needed to improve customer
orientation have also been dealt with. Consider the fact todays customer face
a plenitude of products in every category. Customer will be having high and
raising expectation of quality and service. In the face of their vast choices,
the customer will gravitate to the offering that the best meet their individual
needs and expectation. They will buy one of the bases of their perception
value.

Therefore it is not surprising that today's winning companies are those


succeed best in satisfying indeed delighting their target customer. They pay
extreme attention to quality and service to meeting and even exceeding
customer expectation. They complete vigorously and at the co-operated
smartly with their strategy partners in their supply and distribution chain.
They pursue efficiently and yet are responsible and flexible.

Customer satisfaction is the outcome felt by buyers who have expectation.


Customers are satisfied when their expectation are met and delighted when
their expectations are exceeded. Satisfied customers remain loyal longer,
buy more, and are less sensitive and talk favorable about the company. From

4
this it is clear that the satisfied customer will be less sensitive towards the
fluctuating price and offensive marketing typically cost more than defensive
marketing, because it requires much effort and cost to induce satisfied
customers to switch away from their current suppliers. We should also
consider the fact that "the cost of attracting a new customer may be five
times the cost of keeping the current customer happy." Therefore the
companies are intending in developing stronger bones and loyalty with their
customers.

objective of this study was to analyze consumer satisfaction of mechanical

of consumer by identifying the attributes, which gave consumer-varying
degrees of satisfaction.

customer and sales services offered by company were identified as critical
(motivational) factors for providing satisfaction to consumers, while other
factors like excisable deposit center, premium collocation was time to time
and also intimation regaining before the collocation of premium. But
absence of such hygienic factors definitely results in a dissatisfied consumer.
