INTRODUCTION TO STUDY
Customer perception is an important component of our relationship with our customers. Given that 90% plus
of our orders at some point involve the phone, how we handle the telephone is essential to creating a
perception for our customer that aligns with the company mission of service. The following is a great way of
handling the phone.
1. The greeting is: Good Morning/Afternoon this is Joshua with (your company name). How may I help you?
2. Always ask and receive a response from people before you put them on hold: Would you please hold...? Then
be sure they are not on hold very long otherwise offer to call them back.
3. Remember to smile on the phone. Slow down and speak plainly and clearly. Smiling stretches your vocal
cords, and gives a more upbeat presentation to the customer. Slowing down ensures that the customers
perception is of an organized systematic company that can handle their project. Getting it done right and on
time consistently.
4. If you transfer a call and know who is calling, tell the name of the caller to your co-worker so they can greet
the person by their name.
5. Under no circumstances should any interaction with a client be used to express any sense of overwhelm that
you may have. We are swamped, we are so busy, etc. may be acceptable office banter in most companies but it
really should not be! If I am a customer and I am looking to get a rush project done, this type of comment tells
me that I might want to consider looking elsewhere. Customers do not care how busy we are when they call
and ask: How busy are you? What they really care about is can we take care of another project they have for us.
We know from talking to clients that often they feel that they are bothering us or have a concern that they
might be overloading us. It is curious to know that sometimes these are our best clients that have this concern.
Therefore, anything that might reinforce this is something we want to avoid (you do not need to send your
5. work to other vendors even though you have given us a lot of work already, we can handle it). One possible
response to: Are you busy? - is to say: We are busy, but never too busy to help you - what can I do for you? or
words to that effect. They are the customers. They do not want to hear about our situation they want to talk
about what we can do for them.
6. If we have to contact a customer with bad news of any kind realize that your tone of voice and approach to it
set the tone. We do not want to be nonchalant as if it is not big deal. Nor do we want to act like a terrible
calamity occurred. Here are keys to contacting customers with bad news:
* Prepare rehearse and organize what you are going to communicate to them and how you are going to
communicate it to them.
* Be sure there is no hint of blame or avoiding responsibility. Customers do not care about the folder being
broken, the copier jamming or any other things. That is our problem. It is not their problem and they actually
do not want to hear about it. Certainly, later in the conversation if they ask what the source of the delay or
problem is, you can share that with them, but it should not be something that you want to volunteer early in
the conversation.
* Be absolutely certain that you have options to give the customer in these situations. This allows them to be
more in control rather than a victim. What are options? What are solutions? Do not call them with the
problem unless you are also providing solutions to them.
* Learn what you could have done to prevent this problem from occurring and do so next time. Again, the
customer is calling us to take on their problems and to solve their problems. They really do not want (nor do
they care) to know about our problems.
7. Remember to always thank the customer. Thank them for calling. Thank them for their business. Thank
them for cooperation and understanding. Thank them for a well prepared electronic file. Thank them for a
referral. Thank them for the professional manner in which they and their company interact with us.
INTRODUCTION TO AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY
6. Market area in India has been witnessing several changes in charter and
Complexity since the last few years. These changes include a higher reach
of mass media, particularly due to an increased penetration of satellite
Channels, availability of a greater assortment of products and services.
Higher level of consumer spending on items other than basic necessities,
more discerning choice behavior exhibited by consumers, and a clear
Indication of consumer preference for better value in products and
services.
The passenger vehicle segment in the automobile industry plays a vital role in
India .The present day market is such that the passenger vehicle is
affordable by Middle class people in urban and semi-urban areas; it is also
more convenient for traveling short and long distance. Over the years the
sales figured of the four wheelers has increased to a very large extent. The
sale of the four-wheeler in 1950 was nearly 300 units whereas now the
sales have shot up to millions.
The Indian automobile industry is now striding inroads into the rural middle class
after its inroads into the urban markets and rural rich. It is trying to bring in varying
products to suit requirements of different class segments of customers.
Vehicles that can be considered automobiles were demonstrated as early as 1769
and 1885 marked the introduction of gasoline powered internal combustion engines.
History of Automobile Industry
7. The history of the automobile industry in India actually began about 4,000 years
ago when the first wheel was used for transportation. In the early 15th century, the
Portuguese arrived in China and the interaction of the two cultures led to a variety of new
technologies, including the creation of a wheel that turned under its own power. By the
1600s, small steam-powered engine models were developed, but it was another century
before a full-sized engine-powered automobile was created.
The dream a carriage that moved on its own was realized only in the 18th century
when the first car rolled on the streets. Steam, petroleum gas, electricity and petrol started
to be used in these cars.
India's transport network is developing at a fast pace and the automobile industry
is growing too. The automobile industry also provides employment to a large section of
the population. Thus the role of automobile industry cannot be overlooked in Indian
Economy. All kinds of vehicles are produced by the automobile industry. It includes the
manufacture of trucks, buses, passenger cars, defence vehicles, two-wheelers, etc. The
industry can be broadly divided into the car manufacturing, two-wheeler manufacturing
and heavy vehicle-manufacturing units.
The major car manufacturers in India are Hindustan Motors, Escorts Ltd, Maruti
Udyog, Fiat India Private Ltd., Ford India Ltd., General Motors India Pvt. Ltd., Honda
Siel Cars India Ltd., Hyundai Motors India Ltd., Skoda India Private Ltd., Toyota
Kirloskar Motor Ltd. Sawarj buses many mores.

9. INDIAN AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY
The Indian auto industry has grown at an impressive 16.82 per cent over
the last year with total sales of vehicles reaching around 10 million vehicles till
November 2006 as against 8.5 million in 2005. Spurred by a huge demand from the
market, the increase in production is set to improve further driven by a buoyant economy,
with increasing purchasing power, new product launches, coupled with attractive finance
schemes from automobile manufacturers and financial institutions? The domestic
passenger car market recorded a historic 22.66 per cent growth in April-December, 2006,
second only to the 28.56 per cent in fiscal 2003-04. Analysts believe the industry will
close fiscal 2006-07 with around 22-23 per cent growth, against just 16 per cent in 2005-
06.
Destination India: India is on every major global automobile player's roadmap, and it
isn't hard to see why:
• India is the second largest two-wheeler market in the world
• Fourth largest commercial vehicle market in the world
• 11th largest passenger car market in the world
• Expected to be the seventh largest by 2016
Robust production: The cumulative growth of passenger vehicles segment during
April-February 2007 compared to the corresponding period in the last year was 22.91
per cent, while that of passenger cars in the same duration was 24.76 per cent, says
the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM). The commercial vehicles
segment grew by 36.12 per cent during the April-February 2007 period, while three
wheeler sales grew by 14.5 per cent, it added.

Economic Survey 2007-08 says:
The installed capacity of the automotive industry has been growing at a compounded
annual rate of over 16 per cent since 2001-02. It produced a wide variety of vehicles
including 1.7 million four wheelers (passenger cars, light, medium and heavy commercial
vehicles, multi-utility vehicles such as jeeps), and over 8 million two and three wheelers
(scooters, motor-cycles, mopeds, and three wheelers) in 2006-07.
11. India is the second-biggest market for small cars after Japan. It accounts for 60% of the
domestic market.
Facts Figures
It seems that India has finally arrived in the big league of Asian car markets. Steady and
impressive annual growth rate, presence of international automakers, relaxation of
foreign exchange and equity regulations, reduction of tariffs on imports and few others
are the components of its booming auto market. The country has now come to be
recognized as a potential emerging auto market. The perception of foreign investors has
changed, everybody wanting to be here.
For the first time, in the financial year end in 2005, the total sales of passenger vehicles -
cars, utility vehicles and multi-utility vehicles - crossed the one-million mark to touch
1.06 million, with exports of 166,000 vehicles.
Study says that by 2010 India will take over Germany in sales volumes and
Japan by 2012. And by 2050, Indians will buy every sixth car produced in the world.
Apart from serving the domestic market, the auto sector has turned as a sourcing base for
the global auto majors. The auto component market is also in its full swing. As per the
research of RNCOS, one of the leading industry firms, the Indian automobile component
industry is estimated to triple from USD 63 billion to USD 190 billion within a span of
six years by 2012.
Indian Automobile Industry Estimation:
Estimated turnover USD 12 billion, plus components revenue USD 3 billion, this is the
vastness of Indian automobile industry. Industry analysts predict this industry to touch
USD 13000 million marks by 2010, a cumulative growth of 9.5% annually. It is said that
for every Re 1 spent, the auto sector returns Rs. 2.24 to the Indian economy.
Automobile Dealers Network in India
12. In terms of Car dealer networks and authorized service stations, Maruti
leads the pack with Dealer networks and workshops across the country. The other leading
automobile manufactures are also trying to cope up and are opening their service stations
and dealer workshops in all the metros and major cities of the country. Dealers offer
varying kind of discount of finances who in tern pass it on to the customers in the form of
reduced interest rates.
Automobile Export Numbers
Category 1998-99 2004-05 (Apr-Dec)
Passenger Car 25468 121478
Multi Utility Vehicles 2654 3892
Commercial Vehicles 10108 19931
Two Wheelers 100002 256765
Three Wheelers 21138 51535
Percentage Growth 16.6 32.8
The industry has adopted the global standards and this was manifested in the increasing
exports of the sector. After a temporary slump during 1998- 99 and 1999-00, such exports
registered robust growth rates of well over 50 per cent in 2002-03 and 2003-04 each to
exceed two and- a-half times the export figure for 2001-02.
EVEN Growth
Opposing the belief that the growth in automobile industry has catered
only to the top income-stratum of society, Growth of exports of 32.8 % in the first three
quarters of 2004-05, the fastest growth in volumes has come from commercial vehicles as
against passenger car.
13. Between 1998-99 and 2003-04, output of commercial vehicles has grown 2.8 times
compared to the 2.2 times increase in passenger cars. Furthermore, two-wheeler output
continues to dominate the volume statistics of the sector. In 2003-04, for every passenger
car turned out by the sector, there were 7 two-wheelers produced. In the two wheeler
segment, there is a greater preference for motorcycles followed by scooters, with both
production and domestic sales of motorcycles increasing at faster rates than for scooters
in the current and previous years. However, mopeds have registered low or negative
growth. Export growth rates have been high both for motorcycles and scooters.
THE KEY FACTORS BEHIND THIS UPSWING:
Sales incentives, introduction of new models as well as variants coupled with easy
availability of low cost finance with comfortable repayment options continued to drive
demand and sales of automobiles during the first two quarters of the current year. The
risk of an increase in the interest rates, the impact of delayed monsoons on rural demand,
and increase in the costs of inputs such as steel are the key concerns for the players in the
industry.
14. As the players continue to introduce new models and variants, the
competition may intensify further. The ability of the players to contain costs and focus on
exports will be critical for the performance of their respective companies.
The auto component sector has also posted significant growth of 20 per
cent in 2003-04, to achieve a sales turnover of Rs.30,640 crore (US$ 6.7 billion). Further,
there is a potential for higher growth due to outsourcing activities by global automobiles
giants. Today, this sector has emerged as another sunrise sector.

5.5 billion) in 2005-06. The company began manufacturing commercial vehicles in 1954
with a 15-year collaboration agreement with Daimler Benz of Germany.
It is the leader by far in commercial vehicles in each segment, and the second-largest in
the passenger vehicles market with winning products in the compact, midsize and utility
vehicle segments. The company is the world's fifth-largest medium and heavy
commercial vehicle manufacturer.
Tata Motors Limited, formerly known as TELCO (TATA Engineering
and Locomotive Company), is India’s largest passenger automobile and commercial
vehicle manufacturing company. It is also the world's 5th largest commercial vehicle
manufacturer. It is part of the Tata group. Tata Motors is widely credited for putting India
on the automotive map by designing and developing its own range of cars. Tata Motors

standards. In commercial vehicles, Tata Motors commands an imposing 65% market
share in the domestic heavy commercial market. The company is trying to modernize its
range of commercial vehicles. Tata Motors hived off its vehicle finance business into a
separate subsidiary, TML Financial Services (TMLFS), in September 2006. The
company plans to build a car that will cost just under Rs 1,00,000 considering that 2
wheelers in India cost Rs 50,000/-.
Indigenously developed mini-truck. Tata motors manufacturing units are
located at Jamshedpur, Lucknow and Pimpri-Chinchwad (Pune). The Pune plant
manufactures the passenger cars.
AREA OF BUSINESS:
Tata Motors' product range covers passenger cars, multi-utility vehicles as well as light,
medium and heavy commercial vehicles for goods and passenger transport. Seven out of
10 medium and heavy commercial vehicles in India bear the trusted Tata mark. The

series of initiatives in effluent and emission control. The company introduced emission
control engines in its vehicles in India before the norm was made statutory. All its
products meet required emission standards in the relevant geographies. Modern effluent
treatment facilities, soil and water conservation programmes and tree plantation drives at
its plant locations contribute to the protection of the environment and the creation of
green belts.
Global Competition
Tata Motors have some distinct advantages in comparison to other MNC
competitors. There is definite cost advantage as labor cost is 8-9 per cent of sales as

XECUTIVE SUMMARY
This project mainly concentrates on the
“Organization Study & Study of Customer perception and
loyalty towards TKIARI AUTOMOBILES (authorised service
station low floor buses of Tata Motors)”DELHI
A consumer may have set of interests, benefits, attitudes and life style before
purchasing a product. But there might be a major change in his taste of preference after
the purchase has been made. In such a position it is difficult for the marketer to know the
behaviour of the consumer. With this view in mind the research study will be conducted
to find out the consumer preference towards store and loyalty.

research process. As the study requires the customer (potential) opinion it will also help
to know the awareness level of store and loyalty in Delhi district and also the opinion
regarding the vehicle as well as the overall performance of tikari automobiles(authorised

influence to buy the store and loyalty which will helpful to company for better
improvement of the vehicles & stores. For this study I had collected the primary data
through questionnaire and the company catalogues, brochures are collected for secondary
information. To collect primary data survey is conducted on individuals (potential
customers) this study is limited to the Delhi only. The sample size that I had taken is 50.

Customer perception is an important component of our relationship with our customers. Given that 90% plus
of our orders at some point involve the phone, how we handle the telephone is essential to creating a
perception for our customer that aligns with the company mission of service. The following is a great way of
handling the phone.
1. The greeting is: Good Morning/Afternoon this is Joshua with (your company name). How may I help you?
2. Always ask and receive a response from people before you put them on hold: Would you please hold...? Then
be sure they are not on hold very long otherwise offer to call them back.
3. Remember to smile on the phone. Slow down and speak plainly and clearly. Smiling stretches your vocal
cords, and gives a more upbeat presentation to the customer. Slowing down ensures that the customers
perception is of an organized systematic company that can handle their project. Getting it done right and on
time consistently.
4. If you transfer a call and know who is calling, tell the name of the caller to your co-worker so they can greet
the person by their name.
5. Under no circumstances should any interaction with a client be used to express any sense of overwhelm that
you may have. We are swamped, we are so busy, etc. may be acceptable office banter in most companies but it
really should not be! If I am a customer and I am looking to get a rush project done, this type of comment tells
me that I might want to consider looking elsewhere. Customers do not care how busy we are when they call
and ask: How busy are you? What they really care about is can we take care of another project they have for us.
We know from talking to clients that often they feel that they are bothering us or have a concern that they
might be overloading us. It is curious to know that sometimes these are our best clients that have this concern.
Therefore, anything that might reinforce this is something we want to avoid (you do not need to send your
work to other vendors even though you have given us a lot of work already, we can handle it). One possible
47. response to: Are you busy? - is to say: We are busy, but never too busy to help you - what can I do for you? or
words to that effect. They are the customers. They do not want to hear about our situation they want to talk
about what we can do for them.
6. If we have to contact a customer with bad news of any kind realize that your tone of voice and approach to it
set the tone. We do not want to be nonchalant as if it is not big deal. Nor do we want to act like a terrible
calamity occurred. Here are keys to contacting customers with bad news:
* Prepare rehearse and organize what you are going to communicate to them and how you are going to
communicate it to them.
* Be sure there is no hint of blame or avoiding responsibility. Customers do not care about the folder being
broken, the copier jamming or any other things. That is our problem. It is not their problem and they actually
do not want to hear about it. Certainly, later in the conversation if they ask what the source of the delay or
problem is, you can share that with them, but it should not be something that you want to volunteer early in
the conversation.
* Be absolutely certain that you have options to give the customer in these situations. This allows them to be
more in control rather than a victim. What are options? What are solutions? Do not call them with the
problem unless you are also providing solutions to them.
* Learn what you could have done to prevent this problem from occurring and do so next time. Again, the
customer is calling us to take on their problems and to solve their problems. They really do not want (nor do
they care) to know about our problems.
7. Remember to always thank the customer. Thank them for calling. Thank them for their business. Thank
them for cooperation and understanding. Thank them for a well prepared electronic file. Thank them for a
referral. Thank them for the professional manner in which they and their company interact with us.
