problem is statistical in nature. The questions selected are intended to determine the most common customer age, status to determine when and what their inclinations are towards purchasing insurance. In addition, the statistical analysis can be conducted by gathering the data provided by the customer responses to these questions.
Level of measurement
Categorical variables Nominal variable including age, gender, educational status and lifestyle of the respondents. Ordinal variables including level of interest of buying new products and customer satisfaction levels.
Quantitative variables Interval variable including the annual income of the respondent.
Ratio variable including the number of policies or insurance products possessed by an individual.
Sample size- 100.
Level Description
Nominal 50% of the respondents have a median age group of 41, 60% respondents were government employees, 65% of the respondents had 3 dependants.
Ordinal Respondents are moderately satisfied with the existing products & have fair interest in the new products. As per the respondents, highest preference is given to life insurance followed by the health insurance. At the third rank is the property insurance followed by the disability and causality insurance.
Interval The median annual income is $55,000.
Ratio The central tendency of the number of insurance policies held by the respondents is 2.
On the basis of the primary data collected with the help of the survey, it is found that the median age group of 41 is most interested in purchasing the insurance products. The survey has analyzed that the customers are moderately satisfied with the existing services; this reveals that there is a need to train sales representatives to provide excellent services for luring customers to buy other products of the company. On an average, the respondents hold two insurance policies, so there are a lot of opportunities to lure customers towards buying other
policies.
Ethical Implications
There are several ethical implications that need to be considered when putting together and distributing a survey questionnaire. Some of these include the privacy of information included in the responses the survey takers must assure privacy for the customers. Secondly, the means of getting responses to be non- coercive and finally addressing sensitive issues like income, age, etc. are asked in ranges is important to allow the customer to feel at ease. Finally, there shouldn’t be any bias when distributing the surveys amongst the customers.
Conclusion The above statistical research reveals that for selling insurance, companies should target the customers of middle age group. The companies should focus on business and private employees. The families with more number of dependents will be beneficial for the companies. The aim of selling can be met by training the sales representatives to provide quality and reliable services. Life and health insurance should be focused on.
