EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1. Purpose of the Study:
This Project Report contains the topic on Satisfaction of Insurance Advisor of ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Co. Ltd., Navsari Branch. This report is taken for the purpose of To know the current Satisfaction level of the Insurance Advisor, And to know at where they are weak in providing services to them and also for giving better services in the future.
2. Objectives:
The primary objective is to know the Satisfaction level of the Insurance Advisor of ICICI PRUDENTIAL Life Insurance Co. Ltd, for Navsari Branch only. The Secondary Objectives are, Satisfaction of Advisor with respect to Gender. In accordance with the Services and Facilities provided by the company to the Advisor.
3. Research Methodology:
The research design is taken by me in this project is Descriptive research design with non-probability convenience sampling and the targeted the respondent is 102 Insurance Advisors. I interview the respondent with the help of wellstructured Questionnaires.
4. Limitations:
The major limitations were faced by me during this project are as follows. My respondents are the Insurance Advisor, who worked as the part time work, so some of the respondents are Studying in other region so I am not able to communicate with those Advisors.
This report is limited to the Navsari Branch only so it cannot generalize about the perception of all the Insurance Advisors. Most difficulty were faced by me is that my Company Mentor is handling the work of the Navsari as well as the Surat Branch. Therefore, he is not able to spend more time to me. In addition, for most limitation is Availability of time for research was restricted to make more detail study.
5. Findings:
According to objectives of my research about Gender, there is 76 advisors are male out of 102, but with the help of Crosstabs of Commission v/s Gender, I found that highest male i.e. 21 are Greatly Satisfied & 11 females are Partly satisfied with the commission provided by the company. According to another objective that is extra facilities, 57.8% are agreed that the company provides more extra facilities. Therefore, I can say that the company wants to motivate their advisors by providing more facilities & flexibility to them. 26.5 % are greatly satisfied and the same percentages of advisors are partly satisfied with commission & incentives. In addition, 79.4% are said that the company is fulfilled their commitment for providing commission on time. More than 50% have obtained good support from their unit managers & from the company. Therefore, I inferred that the company wants to create healthier relationship with their advisors so that they can obtain good business from them. 34.3 advisors are neutral and 24.5 advisors strongly disagree out of 102 advisors due to target, which is forced by the company. By this data, I can interpret that the Gandhi Jemish P. 06 MBA 12
ICICI PRUDENTIAL LIFE INSURANCE CO. LTD NAVSARI BRANCH advisors do not like target and they do not want to work under pressure and they wants to work independently.
6. Recommendations:
From my analysis and findings, I would recommend that the company or Unit Managers dont like any kind of target so, they have to slowly and gradually reduce the pressures on the advisors. As a result, advisors can work independently and make a more business from the market.
7. Conclusion:
The main crux of my research work and the data analysis reported that the company is more concerning to the advisors provides best benefits to them and advisors be also satisfied with the ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Co. Ltd.

In other words, we hypothesize that, the Advisors either are agree or disagree because of target, which they provide. i.e. H1: x = = 3 Alternative Hypothesis (H1): There is significant difference between calculated mean and hypothesized mean. i.e. H1: x 3 Statistical Test: One sample t-test is chosen because the

Here the above Table and diagram saws that, 36 advisors out of 102 advisors, i.e. 35.3% have agreed that the company have offered more gifts, vouchers and a timely creates contests like Insurance Idol, etc. I also inferred from the diagram that the 84 of the respondents out of the 102 likes these kinds of schemes.

According to the Frequential data of the Education of the advisors, the Education Qualification more targeted to those person who are Graduates or pursuing their Graduation, which are 48% of advisors. I can also infer that the Unit Managers are targeted more to Commerce background Advisors. also, interpret that the respondents who have Commerce Background are more egger to become an independent to earned money.
FINDINGS
1. According to objectives of my research about Gender,
there is 76 advisors are male out of 102, but with the help of Crosstabs of Commission v/s Gender, I found that highest male i.e. 21 are Greatly Satisfied & 11 females are Partly satisfied with the commission provided by the company. Gandhi Jemish P. 06 MBA 12
4. More than 50% have obtained good support from their unit
managers & from the company. Therefore, I inferred that the company wants to create healthier relationship with their advisors so that they can obtain good business from them.
Recommendations:
From my analysis and findings, I would recommend that the company or Unit Managers dont like any kind of target so, they have to slowly and gradually reduce the pressures on the advisors. As a result, advisors can work independently and make a more business from the market. Gandhi Jemish P. 06 MBA 12
Conclusion:
The main crux of my research work and the data analysis reported that the company is more concerning to the advisors provides best benefits to them and advisors be also satisfied with the ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Co. Ltd.
