INTRODUCTION

SALES:

A sale is the exchange of a commodity for money or service in return for money or the

action of selling something. The seller or the provider of the goods or services completes a sale

in response to an acquisition, an appropriation or a request. There is a a passing of title (property

or ownership) of the item, and the settlement of a price. A seller agrees upon a price which he

willingly gives ownership of the item. The seller, not the purchaser generally executes the sale

and it is completed prior to the obligation of payment.

Sales Methods

Sales Agents

Inside sales vs. Outside sales

A sale can take place through.

Direct sales, involving person to person contact

Pro forma sales

Agency-based

Sales agents (for example in real estate or in manufacturing)

Sales outsourcing through direct branded representation

Transaction sales

Consultative sales

Complex sales

Consignment

Telemarketing or telesales

Retail or consumer

Traveling salesman

Door-to-door methods



Request for proposal – An invitation for suppliers, through a bidding process, to submit a

proposal on a specific product or service. An RFP usually represents part of a complex sales

process, also known as "enterprise sales".

Business-to-business – Business-to-business ("B2B") sales are much more relationship-based

owing to the lack of emotional attachment to the products in question. Industrial/professional

sales involves selling from one business to another Electronic

Web – Business-to-business ("B2B") and business-to-consumer ("B2C")

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) – A set of standard for structuring information to be

electronically exchanged between and within businesses

Mail-order

Sales Agents:



Agents in the sales process can represent either of two parties in the sales process; for example

Sales broker, seller agency, seller agent, seller representative: This is a traditional role where the

salesman represents a person or company on the selling end of a deal. Buyers broker or Buyer

brokerage: This is where the salesman represents the consumer making the purchase. This is

most often applied in large transactions. Disclosed dual agent. This is where the salesman

represents both parties in the sale and acts as a mediator for the transaction. The role of the

salesman here is to oversee that both parties receive an honest and fair deal, and is responsible to

both. Transaction broker: This is where the salesperson represents neither party but handles the

transaction only. The seller owes no responsibility to either party getting a fair or honest deal,

just that all of the papers are handled properly.

Sales outsourcing involves direct branded representation where the sales representatives are

recruited, hired, and managed by an external entity but hold quotas, represent themselves as the

brand of the client, and report all activities (through their own sales management channels) back

to the client. It is akin to a virtual extension of a sales force (see sales outsourcing).

Sales managers aim to implement various sales strategies and management techniques in order to

facilitate improved profits and increased sales volume. They are also responsible for

coordinating the sales and marketing department as well as oversight concerning the fair and

honest execution of the sales process by their agents.

Sales person: The primary function of professional sales is to generate and close leads,

educate prospects, fill needs and satisfy wants of consumers appropriately, and therefore turn

prospective customers into actual ones. Questioning – to understand a customer's goal and

requirements relevant to the product – and the creation of a valuable solution by communicating

the necessary information that encourages a buyer to achieve their goal at an economic cost

comprise the functions of the salesperson or of the sales engine (for example, the Internet, a

vending machine, etc.). A good salesperson should never mis-sell or over-evaluate the customer's

requirements.

Inside sales vs. Outside sales:



Since the advent of the telephone, a distinction has been made between "inside sales" and

"outside sales" although it is generally agreed that those terms have no hard-and-fast definition.

In the United States, the Fair Labor Standards Act defines outside sales representatives as

"employees [who] sell their employer's products, services, or facilities to customers away from

their employer's place(s) of business, in general, either at the customer's place of business or by

selling door-to-door at the customer's home" while defining those who work "from the

employer's location" as inside sales. Inside sales generally involves attempting to close business

primarily over the phone via telemarketing, while outside sales (or "field" sales) will usually

involve initial phone work to book sales calls at the potential buyer's location to attempt to close

the deal in person. Some companies have an inside sales department that works with outside

representatives and book their appointments for them. Inside sales sometimes refers to up selling

to existing customers.

OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY:

To know about the demand of ultratech cement

To know the Sales of Ultratech cement in Chitradurga district.

To know the Popularity and Brand image of Ultratech cement.

To know the Quality and preference of Ultratech cement.

To know the existing problems with the products.

To present the suggestions, Findings to Ultratech Cement.



SCOPE OF THE STUDY

This study basically tries to discover the current position of Ultratech Cement Sales in the

market. It also tries to discover the preferences of the customers when posed with a choice It is

primarily directed to the general public but was done only in Chitradurga.

LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY

Though the present study aims to achieve the above-mentioned objectives in full earnest and

accuracy, it may be hampered due to certain limitations. Some of the limitations of the study may

be summarized as follows.

Difficulties faced during collection of data due to non-familiar of the respondents.

Getting correct information from the customers is very difficult due to their

inherent problems and busy schedule.

Getting biased responses from the respondents.

The selection of customers to cover the various strata of the society is tedious and

time consuming.

Survey is restricted only for the Chitradurga city.

Accuracy of findings is not exactly the opinion of whole Chitradurga region.

The study is based on a sample size and hence the findings cannot be generalized.



RESEARCH METHEDOLOGY

OBJECTIVES OF RESEARCH:

The main objective of the research is to find out that what the condition of Ultratech

Cement service in the market and know that how consumers and dealers are satisfied

with the services which are provided to them, and we can also say that find out the Sales

and performance and level.

And other objective is to analyze current scenario of the market in consumer durable

sector. And analyze that who is the main competitors of Ultratech Cement and what is

the current position of Ultratech Cement sales and performance in market.

SIGNIFICANCE OF RESEARCH:

“All progress is born of inquiry. Doubt is often better than the over confidence, for it Lead to

inquiry & inquiry to invention.” This is a famous Hudson in context of which The

significance of research can well be understood.

1. Research includes scientific & inductive thinking & it promotes the development of

the logical basis of thinking organization.

2. The role of research in several fields of applied economics, whether related to

business to the economy as whole, has greatly increased in Modern times.

3. Research provides the basis for nearly all the government policies in our country.

4. Research has it special significance in solving various operations & planning

problems of business & industries.

5. Research is equally importance for social scientists in studying social relationship &

In seeking answers to various social problem.



RESEARCH METHODOLOGY:Research refers to "The systematic method of consisting of enunciating the problem,

formulating a hypothesis, collecting the facts or data, analyzing the facts and reaching certain

conclusion towards the certain problem or certain generalization for some theoretical

formulation.

RESEARCH DESIGN:Statistical design was conveniently used to study the relative behavior of consumers. The

main purpose to select this design is that it gives more consistent results, lends itself to

generalization and is more reliable.

The survey method is adopted to do the research study under which information is collected

from the customers through structured questionnaires and personal interview.

TYPE OF RESEARCH DESIGN:A research design generally knows as a method and procedure for acquiring information

needed to solve the problem. It is some statement or specification of procedures for

collecting and analyzing the information required for the solution of some specific problem.

The design selected for this study is descriptive research and survey research.

DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH:Business research problems may also call for the descriptive type of research. The present

descriptive study is undertaken by the researcher to understand the customer perception

towards insurance products. It has been used to describe what existed in the market/field

outside where the project study was conducted. The descriptive research includes surveys

and facts findings enquiries of different kinds.



SOURCES OF DATA COLLECTION:

Date Resources:The data required for the research can be either primary data or secondary data or both.

Primary data:Primary data are data freshly for a specific purpose or for a specific research project. The

normal procedure is to interview some people individually or in groups, to get a sense of

people feel about the topic in question, and then develop a formula research instrument,

debug it, and carry it in to field.

Secondary data:Secondary data are data that were collected for another purpose and already exists

somewhere. Researchers usually start their investigation by examining secondary data see

whether the problem can be partly or wholly solved without collecting costly primary data

secondary data provides a starting point for research and after offer advantages of low cost

and ready availability.

METHOD OF SAMPLING:part of the population is known as sample. The process of drawing a sample from a larger

population is called sampling. After deciding on the research approach and instruments, the

marketing researcher must design a sampling plan. This calls for three decisions.

Sampling unit:

Who is to be surveyed? The marketing researcher must define the target population that will

be sampled. Once the sampling unit is determined, a sampling frame must be developed so

that everyone in the target population has an equal or known chance of being sampled.



Sample size: Different people were randomly selected from different areas in Chitradurga were

selected for survey. The sample size was 50.

Sampling procedure:

It is the technique in which we selected the sample. The non-probability sampling

method the approaches for survey under which I have selected the samples as per my

convenience

Contact methods: The selection of the method is used for the present study under which

the respondents are contacted personally and filled the Questionnaire through them.



INDUSTRY PROFILE

BRIEF HISTORY OF CEMENT :

The search for men made bonding materials began with human endeavor to mimic the

habits gifted by nature. Situations changed with growth in population during Paleolithic

Age men used to enjoy adequate shelter provided by nature. The Bronze Age also witnessed

the age of building materials from clay based mixture. The Bronze Age also witnessed the use

of air hardening lime. This obviously linked with the discovery of fire and chanced calcinations

of limestone in some forest tracts.

In the evolutionary process the Phoenicians perfected the practice of mortar preparation

with the burnt lime and volcanic ash. The use of lime and its preparation was handed over

from generation to generation to present times. Modern Portland Cement was invented by

JOSEPH ASPDIA of LEEDS in the year 1824 and this was patented as PORTLAND because

of its hardening, this used to look like stone from Isle of PortLand.

In Modern terminology cement can be defined as follows:

The word cement means BOND and material possessing binding. This cementing

property is called as Cement.” Cement as used in the construction industry is a fine inorganic

powder inherent, cohesive and adhesive properties. It is hydraulic material, which sets and

hardens on addition of water and imparts strength to the structure.

Cement is an essential material for today's society because concrete is made from cement,

which is an inevitable element for housing, commercial and infrastructure development.

Measured on a kilogram per capita basis, concrete is 2nd most widely consumed material in the

world, second only to water. Cement manufacturing process will have -Local impacts

(landscape disturbance, dust emission) and Global impacts (CO2, SOx and NOx emissions).

Because of these impacts, sustainable development has recently become a major strategic issue

for cement manufacturers around the world. Cement industry is giving very specific and serious

attention for managing CO2 emissions.



In 2000 a group of 10 major cement companies collaborated as "working group

cement"(Cemex (Mexico), Lafarge (France), Cimpor (Portugal), RMC (Great Britain),

Heidelbeurg (Germany), Siam Cement (Thailand), Holcim (Switzerland), Italicementi (Italy),

Votorantim (Brazil) has sponsored study under World Business Council for sustainable

development (WBCSD). WBSCD has entrusted this study to an independent organization

namely, Batelle Memorial Institute. The ideas emerged from this study indicate that the cement

industry-

Operates manufacturing or processing facilities in 150 countries.

Has estimated a turnover of USD 97 billion.

Directly employs an estimated 850,000 workers

Of the many industries influencing the growth of the economy, cement industry

has occupied a relevant position, which it deserves. Cement industry in India is 8 decades old

and yet it is in its youth as one can see the use of the cement anytime and anywhere in cities or

towns in the form of buildings or industries. Keeping in view the importance of cement in

the current economy, it can be said that no other industry exits in the absence of cement

industry.



I

NDIAN CEMENT HISTORY:

The attempt to produce Cement in India dates back to 1889 when a Calcutta based firm

attempted to produce Agrillaceauskankar. The first organized attempt tko produce Cement on

a mass scale was attempted in 1904 by South Indian Industries Limited. The growth

continued and in 1936 eleven companies emerged to form Associated Cement Companies

(ACC). The formation of concrete association in India in 1927, helped to popularize the use of

indigenous cement. By 1947, India has 23 cement plants with a capacity of 2.2 million tones

per annum to the ever increasing demand of cement.

The Indian Cement Industry is a unique combination of very large to very small

capacity and modern to very older technology plants. The share of installed capacity of

energy inefficient process plant had slowly decreased from 94% to 61% in 1960 till 1980 and

there after as a result of quantum jump n production capacities through modern dry process

plants as well as conversion of wet process has been reduced to just 5% today. India is the

second largest cement producer in the world after China. The present installed capacity of

119 million tones per annum is distributed over 113 large size plant and over 300 mini cement

plants. The cement production raised from a mere 22.54 million tones per annum in 1982 to

95 million tones per annum by 2001, registered more than 200% growth.

Ordinary Portland cement

Portland blast furnace slag cement

Portland Pozzolana cement

Ordinary Portland cement: Ordinary Portland cement is the most commonly used cement for a wide range of

applications. These applications cover dry-lean mixes, general-purpose ready-mixes, and even

high strength pre-cast and pre-stressed concrete.

Portland blast furnace slag cement:Portland blast-furnace slag cement contains up to 70 per cent of finely ground, granulated

blast-furnace slag, a non-metallic product consisting essentially of silicates and alumino-silicates

of calcium. Slag brings with it the advantage of the energy invested in the slag making. Grinding

slag for cement replacement takes only 25 per cent of the energy needed to manufacture Portland

cement. Using slag cement to replace a portion of Portland cement in a concrete mixture is a

useful method to make concrete better and more consistent. Portland blast-furnace slag cement

has a lighter colour, better concrete workability, easier finish ability, higher compressive and



flexural strength, lower permeability, improved resistance to aggressive chemicals and more

consistent plastic and hardened consistency.

Portland Pozzolana cement:Portland pozzolana cement is ordinary Portland cement blended with pozzolanic

materials (power-station fly ash, burnt clays, ash from burnt plant material or silicious earths),

either together or separately. Portland clinker is ground with gypsum and pozzolanic materials

which, though they do not have cementing properties in themselves, combine chemically with

Portland cement in the presence of water to form extra strong cementing material which resists

wet cracking, thermal cracking and has a high degree of cohesion and workability in concrete

and mortar.

Concrete:Concrete is most vital material in modern construction. It: has versatile properties like

easy mould ability, high compressive strength and long lasting durability. These properties of

concrete have made it most popular construction material for all types of civil engineering

works. The latest developments in concrete technology have made it possible to use it in intricate

and architecturally complex structures, requiring high degree of performance and aesthetic

appearance. In addition to normal concrete, other varieties in use are, high strength and high

performance concrete, self compacting, light weight, high density, fibre reinforced, polymer,

coloured concrete etc.

The ingredients of good and bad concrete are the same. The difference lies in the technology

used for production, transportation and placement. The making of concrete is an art as well as a

science. Science because all the ingredients are proportioned as per the standard codes of

practice to get the targeted strength & durability, and an art because in addition to accurate

proportioning, quality of concrete depends on the way it is mixed, placed, compacted, finished,

cured and protected. Ready mix Concrete (RMC) technology results in a perfect blend of the Art

and Science.

COMPANY STRATEGY:

Taking these practices forward, ultratech chairman Mr. Kumar Mangalam Birla

institutionalised the concept of triple bottom line accountability represented by economic

success, environmental responsibility and social commitment. In a holistic way thus, the interests

of all the stakeholders have been textured into company’s group's fabric.

The footprint of their social work today spans 2,500 villages in India, reaching out to

seven million people annually. Their community work is a way of telling the people among

whom they operate that they care.

Projects are planned after a participatory need assessment of the communities around the

plants. Each project has a one-year and a three-year rolling plan, with milestones and measurable

targets. The objective is to phase out their presence over a period of time and hand over the reins

of further development to the people. This also enables them to widen their reach. Along with

internal performance assessment mechanisms, their projects are audited by reputed external

agencies, who measure it on qualitative and quantitative parameters, helping them gauge the

effectiveness and providing excellent inputs.

Their partners in development are government bodies, district authorities, village

panchayats and the end beneficiaries — the villagers. The Government has, in their 5-year plans,

special funds earmarked for human development and they recourse to many of these. At the same

time, they network and collaborate with like-minded bilateral and unilateral agencies to share

ideas, draw from each other's experiences, and ensure that efforts are not duplicated. At another

level, this provides a platform for advocacy. Some of the agencies they have collaborated with

are UNFPA, SIFSA, CARE India, Habitat for Humanity International, Unicef and the World

Bank.

DISTRIBUTOR PROFILE

A CASE STUDY OF KAREEM ENTERPRISES

Introduction

In modern marketing, re-stockiest, wholesalers and dealers play a very important role in creating

demand and market for a product. Their main business is to promote sales, deliver the goods to

the customers and ensure that the goods reach the ultimate consumer. From the point of view of

industrialist in today’s market environment, their services are essential.

Considering these objectives in mind KAREEM ENTERPRISE is a single ownership in the

business concern has taken in CHITRADURGA City.

KAREEM ENTERPRISES launched in February 2000, From then, the firm has successfully

earned good name and reputation in the town for it‘s excellent service that it provide to it’s

customers.

Capital structure

At the beginning the firm had invested 2.5% of the company profit. Till now the enterprise is

SWOT ANALYSIS

Strengths:

UltraTech Cement Limited (UltraTech) is India-based one of the largest cement

manufacturing company. The company along with its subsidiaries is engaged in the business of

manufacturing, marketing, distribution and sales of the cement and cement related products.

UltraTech other cement related products are ready mix concrete and cement clinker. The product

portfolio of the company comprises Portland cement, Portland blast furnace slag cement and

Portland Pozzolana cement. The company also exports cement and clinker to countries around

the Indian Ocean, Africa, Europe, and the Middle East. The company has an annual cement

production capacity of 18.2 million tones. It is a subsidiary of Grasim Industries Ltd. The

company operates two subsidiary companies namely, Dakshin Cement Limited and UltraTech

Ceylinco (P) Limited. The company is headquarter at Mumbai in India.The company reported

revenues of (Rupee) INR 66,643.30 million during the fiscal year ended March 2009, an increase

of 16.43% over 2008. The operating profit of the company was INR 13,678.20 million during the

fiscal year 2009, a decrease of 9.73% from 2008. The net profit of the company was INR

9,780.60 million during the fiscal year 2009, a decrease of 3.17% from 2008.

Strengths of UltraTech are as follows-:

Better quality

Long relationship with customer.

Maintains a world class infrastructure.

Market share.

Large distribution network.



Proper research and development.

Strong financial backing

Weakness:

Everyone looks up to a visionary leader to understand the possibilities tomorrow holds. And you

have a greater responsibility to bear when you are India’s largest cement company.

In the present day context, UltraTech is playing an important role in the infrastructural

development of the country. No wonder, UltraTech’s every creation is a window to tomorrow.

And an effective communication was needed to reflect the same.It was quite a daunting task for

Interface Communications, the advertising agency for UltraTech, to get the right mix of

emotions and technological superiority that appeal to everyone right across IHBs to architects

and large commercial establishments.

The weaknesses of UltraTech are as follows-

Delay in supply.

Inconsistency of Supply.

Insufficient manpower

Opportunity:

When you view India through a prism, its multi-faceted refractions are awesome, unique

and partly distressing. A multiethnic, multi-religious, multilingual, multi-cultural diverse

democracy, rich in its distinctive heritage — India is, indeed, captivating. Our democracy

resonates throughout the world. Moreover, the way in which India has transformed itself from a

colonial, agri-based backwater economy into an independent, modern, knowledge-driven one is

the stuff of case studies at the best-in-class business schools the world over. While the youth



leader must appreciate these facets, he or she must have a thorough understanding of the

different strands that go into the weave of India. The partition in the aftermath of our freedom

struggle has left a scar, as has the divide in the name of God. India is a country of extreme

paradoxes. We are reckoned as a nation of tremendous opportunities and, yet, it is a reality that

India is a place of perpetual struggle. We have large tracts of our country that have yet to witness

any economic advancement.

Threats:

Just a few years ago, the Aditya Birla Group bought over the cement business of L&T for

around ` 2,200 crore. L&T allowed its name to be used for about a year. O.P. Puranmalka, Group

Executive President, Grasim Industries, and Chief Marketing Officer, observes that in a very

short time the company had to establish a new brand name in the minds of the people and use the

L&T mind space. The task was Herculean. Explaining the strategy behind the new brand name,

Mr. Puranmalka said: "We wanted to capture the gene code of L&T in the new brand name. So

we commissioned research on customer perception about the L&T Cement brand. Of course, we

were very sure in our minds that L&T Cement epitomised engineering prowess, technology

quality and modernity."

In step with its global agenda, the cement business of the Aditya Birla Group, is

orchestrating a contemporary brand makeover. With UltraTech Cement, the Aditya Birla Group

has established itself as not only the most respected domestic player but also among the global

leaders in cement. UltraTech has strong competitors like ACC, LAFARGE, AMBUJA Etc.,

although the Brand Equity of ULTRATECH CEMENT is AT PAR with ACC and LAFARGE,

to maintain the same continuous follow-up in all respect is necessary. The Ultratech cement has

to adopt necessary strategies to compete with strong competitiors in order to retain its market

position and the goodwill in the market.

marketing results in a wide range of situations. In a pie chart, different segments of a circle

represents percentage contribution of various components to the total.

This chart is very useful because it clearly brings out relative importance of various

components. For drawing a pie chart, we construct a circle and this is broken into various

segments. Angle 360 degree represents 100% and corresponding angles for each component can

be found by multiplying 360 degree with percentage of the component.
