distribution network is national in nature covering more than 1000 points across the

important for the brand to connect at the grassroots level and create trust. We believe
that our association with Kapil Dev as our brand ambassador will help us create this

extraordinary test match figures of more than 5000 runs and 434 wickets along with

Benefits:
1. Maturity Benefits :

2. Death Benefits :
This procedure can be stepped down as follows:
1. Pitching the customer: The first and foremost thing is that, client should be ready
to purchase the Insurance plan. Insurance is not a very preferable product yet in India.
And,
thus, co. has to be very vigilant. Advisors, at BSLI, maintain relationships and make
the most of their Goodwill. Insurance is a Relationship oriented business. Keeping
this in mind BSLI also initiated Bancassurance, where Banks’ image of being loyal to
the customers, plays a major role in pitching the customer to buy Insurance. BSLI
uses following routes for distributing their Product to general public:
a. Direct Personal Contacts (through Advisors)
b. Bancassurance (through Banks)
c. Personal Relations (through co. employees)
d. Existing Policyholders.
2. Sales Illustration: BSLI is the first company to give demonstration of the fund
performance i.e. how a certain policy will perform or will give returns. BSLI Advisors
give sales illustration. Fund performance is shown on 6% and 10% projections. If
client find these projected returns suitable to his/her risk profile, he go for purchasing
the policy.
3. Proposal Form : Now as client is ready to get insured, advisor gives him the
proposal form and asks for all the documents required. Proposal form is a 4
page document that contains all the necessary information related to the
Insured and the Owner of the policy. Documents required along with the
proposal form are:
Date-Of-Birth Proof
Address & ID Proof
Income Certificate
Medical Certificates (only if Insurer is a senior citizen)
1. After Sales Service : Now after the Insurance is sold, follow-ups are required.
Advisor needs to maintain good relations with the policyholder. Insurance co.
can
Generate further business, only if, existing policyholders are satisfied with the
services being provided by the advisor of the co. Thus, BSLI keeps this in mind
and Business Development Executives continuously track the needs of the
policyholders. BSLI provides the policyholders with monthly updates of the fund
performance and
also discloses the asset portfolio of the fund. This assists the policyholders to
manage their policy according to their risk profile. They can, thus, change their
fund allocation as well as the asset allocation in any fund, chosen by them.
In the Unfortunate
event of the Death of the Life Insured prior to the maturity date of the policy,
the nominee gets the greater of
(a) Fund Value
(b) Sum Assured reduced for partial withdrawal as follows:
Before the life insured attains the age of 60, the sum assured
payable on death is reduced by partial withdrawals made in
the preceeding years.
Once the Life Insured attains the age of 60, the Sum Assured
payable on death is reduced by all partial withdrawals made
from age 58 onwards.
