9. LIMITATIONS All the analysis is done , targeting Patna computer market Most of the respondent are biased on answering the questioners At sometimes there was problem of non-responsiveness at some authorized and non-authorized center... FINDINGS Most of the market is covered by HP and Dell. Customer dont prefer HCL laptops because it does not have any USP in their product line. Another Reason for not preferring HCL products are bad service , bad products , price , lack of advertisements.

10. RECOMMENDATIONHCL says that it has got a wide network of services center and they can solve anyproblem within 48 hour but they fail on this commitment, this act make customer toloose its trust.HCL should understand that push strategy is not always good but they should winthe confidence and heart of customer by providing them value for money.Promotional activity are very less therefore they should invest in advertisementand create brand awareness.Brand image of HCL in laptop segment is low and it is considered as cheap brandwith low quality.HCL should design their product according to customer requirement of India.Most of the product are standard product whereas now the age of customizeproduct .HCL should provide good tag line to its name that can make the association ofcustomer to the company.HCL should make alliance with the financial organization that can provideinstallment facilities to the customer. HCL should provide some sales based incentive and training so that they can bemotivated for more sellings.HCL should try to raise EC2 and EEC attributes of PCs that can be projected asbest buy. And also project some special feature as sound or graphics or any other

11. CONCLUSIO N every product is made to sell, only we have to find the potential buyer . And How To Deals With The Customers And Convince Them ? The whole responsibility is to keep them in our side and understand the necessary of the customers.
