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
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

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.
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.
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.
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.
Getting correct information from the customers is very difficult due to their
inherent problems and busy schedule.
The selection of customers to cover the various strata of the society is tedious and
time consuming.
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

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.
3. Research provides the basis for nearly all the government policies in our country.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
UltraTech Cement Limited was formed effective July 2004, with the demerger of Cement
Division from Larsen & Toubro Limited, and was taken over by the Aditya Birla Group and got
merged into Aditya Vikram .Birla Group of Industries.

Indian Ocean, Africa, Europe and the Middle East. Export is a thrust area in the company's
strategy for growth.
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.

DISTRIBUTOR PROFILE
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.
The inception
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
successfully in securing 3% of the demand for Ultratech Cement India Limited products in
Chitradurga city.
SWOT ANALYSIS
Strengths:
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.
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.

errors and omissions and to correct these when possible. It involves the careful security of
questionnaires. Editing is done assure that the data are accurate, consistent with other facts
gathered, uniformly entered as complete as possible and have been well arranged to facilitate

It refers to the process of assigning numerals or oilier symbols to answers so that responses
can be put into a limited number of categories or classes. Such classes should be appropriate to
the research problems under consideration. They must posses the characteristics of
exhaustiveness, mutual exclusive and unidimensionality. It is done at the designing phase of
questionnaire.
Classification:
It is the process of arranging data in groups or classes on the basis of common
characteristics. Data having a common characteristic are placed in one class and in this way
the entire data is divided into a number of group or classes.
Tabulation:

Statistical analysis helps us to identify important findings and they are eye catch which makes
easy for readers to understand the facts properly and quickly.
Pie charts:
Pie charts are frequently used type of graph. They are appropriate for displaying
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.
Bar chart:
Bar charts are the most flexible type of graphs. Many things that cannot he shown or
effectively shown, with other type of graphs can readily be shown with bar charts. In bar charts
we make use of rectangles to present the given data.
