Abstract

Organizations use data mining to improve their customer relationship management processes. Data mining is a new and well-known technique, which can be used to extract hidden knowledge and information about customers’ behaviors. In this paper, a model is proposed to enhance the premium calculation policies in an automobile insurance company. This method is based on customer clustering. K-means algorithm is used for clustering based on RFM models. Customers of the insurance company are categorized into some groups, which are ranked based on the RFM model. A number of rules are proposed to calculate the premiums and insurance charges based on the insurance manner of customers. These rules can improve the customers’ satisfaction and loyalty as well as the company profitability.

Gartner defined the CRM as a business approach which maximizes the profitability, income, and loyalty of customers by organizing segments of customers, predicting the behaviors that satisfy customers, and implementation of customer-based processes (Bligh & Turk, 2004).
