III. ABSTRACT
The project is accepted to carry out under the direction of SUZUKI a discount
retail store located at Patna City.
The major reason for the projects to catch out the Customer relationship
management will affect the customer view towards the particular goods in
the store. As for the need of the study I have taken a partly secondary data
and primary data.
11 | P a g e
IV EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The study widely concentrates on the level of satisfaction amongst customers for which I did
Exploratory Research to check the satisfaction level amongst the customers of Suzuki Access
. This research was conducted in the Patna city.
An extensive search of relevant literature from news articles, internet, books. This
step guided the development of the methods and instruments for collecting data.
Designing the questionnaire.
Survey has been carried away by, one-on-one interviews. The Survey
included open-ended questions, dichotomous questions, and multiple choice
question.
12 | P a g e
To know the most popular media for advertisement
To check the loyalty of the consumer towards the Suzuki brand
To know the most motivating factor for purchasing the bike
To know the preferable price from the customer
During this research it was found that Suzuki’s launched Access 125 has increased its
market share by attracting new customers and helped to retain its old customers.
SMPIL, a company that is known for combining technology, quality and performance in their
two wheeler, had taken an initiative to introduce some of their performance driven two
wheeler in India this year. Suzuki has reported a growth of 47.66% in sales in the month of
December ‘09 at 14806 units compared to 9986 units same month last year. This increase of
sales is attributed to the tremendous response from the new product GS150R and ACCESS
125.
Suzuki would have to constantly innovate and come up with new products to maintain its
dominance in the segment.

CHAPTER -1
1.1.2 MY INTERNSHIP
SUZUKI is the part of automobile business through participating some of the Indian most
popular retail journey. It aims to establish long lasting and mutual relationship with the
customers which will increase customer value and optimize profitability.
• To know the consumer buying performance and expectation in the direction of CRM.
• To know the different features that influence the purchaser buying actions.
• To find out how to keep hold of and maintain the customer with creative and good
looking CRM.
14 | P a g e
• To know what make the customer shop at the SUZUKI.
• To record Customer purchases and to deliver the desired products quickly in the hands of
their customer.
• By applying CRM , a retailer can know there most profitable and less profitable customer.
1.2 OBJECTIVES :
CRM can help you eliminate redundancies in your marketing campaigns by allowing
you to intuit which stage of the purchasing process each returning customer is in.
You can send out marketing materials that are targeted to specific interests and
purchasing abilities, rather than transmitting general messages that are far less likely
to generate an optimal amount of attention. Given that branding is one of the most
costly and time-consuming aspects of building your business and garnering more
attention for it, seeking to improve overall efficiency in a way that will foster a better
reputation is a vital addition to your top CRM objectives and goals.
15 | P a g e
It is important to note that CRM is not just for managing the customers you already
have. A CRM program that is linked to a high-quality knowledge management
platform will allow you to stay in contact with prospects that have yet to convert. It
will also allow you to identify commonalities and relationships among the clients that
you already have, so that you can hone and improve your future efforts in outreach.
A larger customer base will allow for increased continuity in profits, even in a
seasonal industry.
One of the most important CRM objectives to consider is enhancing your team. By
better learning the needs of the people you service, you can become increasingly
adept in identifying the right talent to provide these services. Talent management
software, HR management software and other cloud-based tools can help you
increase the value of your trained employees. Much like your current customers,
your talent is among your top assets.
More importantly, CRM will give you a guideline for any professional development
plans that you wish to implement and make mandatory among all employees.

CHAPTER – 2
LITERATURE REVIEW
Customer Relationship Management (CRM) has become one of the most dynamic technology
topics of the millennium.
CRM is not a concept that is really new but rather due to current development and advances
in information and enterprise software technology, it has assumed practical importance. The
root of CRM is relationship marketing, which has the objective of improving the long-term
profitability of customers by moving away from product-centric marketing.
Bose (2002) noted that CRM was invented because the customers differ in their preferences
and purchasing habits . If all customers were alike, there will be little need for CRM. As a
result, understanding customer drivers and customer profitability, firms can better tailor their
offerings to maximize the overall value of their customer portfolio (Chen and Popovich) .
The attention CRM is currently receiving across businesses is due to the fact that the
marketing environment of today is highly saturated and more competitive (Chou et al, 2002) .
17 | P a g e
support and other functions that touch customers (Chou et al, 2002) . They further stated that
CRM is a notion regarding how an organization can keep their most profitable customers and
at the same time reduce cost, increase in values of interaction which then leads to high
profits. The modern customer relationship management concept was shaped and influenced
by the theories of total quality management (Gummesson) and by new technological
paradigms (Zineldin, 2000). There is however, a perceived lack of clarity in the definition of
customer relationship management, although all accepted definitions are sharing marketing
strategy, customer retention, personalization (Zineldin 2000). However, while academics
debate the subtitles of various definitions, the practitioners have developed a wealth of
applicative papers analyzing the concrete challenges and opportunities of implementing the
systems (Bacuvier et al. 2001). CRM in some firms is considered as a technology solution,
considering of individual databases and sales force automation tools and sales and marketing
functions so as to improve targeting effort.
argued that other organizations view CRM as a tool, which has been particularly designed
for one-to-one customer communications, which is the function of sales, call centres or the
marketing departments. Accordingly Frow and Payne (2004) added that CRM stresses two-
way communication from the customer to the supplier to build the customer over time. The
two-way communication has been enhanced greatly by advances in technology particularly
the Internet. In term of information technology (IT), CRM means an enterprise –wide
integration of technologies working together such as data warehouse, web site, and
intranet/extranet, phone support system, accounting, sales, marketing and production. Kotler
(2000) assured that CRM uses IT to gather data, which can then be used to develop
information acquired to create a more personal interaction with the customer. In the long-
term, it produces a method of continuous analysis and reinforcement in order to enhance
customer’s lifetime value with firms.
believes that CRM is not merely technology applications for marketing, sales and services
but rather when it is successfully implemented ; it enables firms to have crossfunctional ,
customer-driven , technology-integrated business process management strategy that
maximses relationships. Chin et al (2003) stated that that due to many technological solutions
18 | P a g e
available for CRM automation, it is often misconstrued as a piece of technology. But they
maintained that in recent times many companies have realized the strategic importance of
CRM, and as a result, it is becoming a business value-effort rather than technology- centric
effort. Using information technology as an enabler, CRM strategy leverages key functional
areas to maximize profitability of customer interactions (Chen and Popovich, 2003). It has
been recognized that technological advancements and innovations , keen competitive
marketing environment , coupled with the internet are main drivers of present and future
customer profitability which makes it possible to appropriately and proportionately allocate
firm’s resources to all functional areas that affect customer relationship ( Chou et al , 2003).
For customers, CRM offers customization, simplicity and convenience for completing
transactions irrespective of the kind of channel of interaction used (Gulati and Garino, 2000).
Many businesses today realize the importance of CRM and its potential to help them achieve
and sustain a competitive edge (Peppard, 2000). This view was further boosted by Bose
(2002) that as a result of changing nature of the global environment and competition, firms
cannot compete favorably with minor advantages and tricks that can easily be copied by
competing firms .The implementation of CRM is an enabled opportunity to rise above minor
advantages with real focus on developing actual relationships with customers. Firms those are
most successful at delivering what customers want are the more likely to be leaders of the
future.

SUZUKI
MOTORCYCLES
GLOBAL HISTORY
Suzuki produced its first motorcycle in 1954 called the Colleda (90cc). Suzuki built
small capacity bikes during the 50s and 60s and had only small export
success until the introduction of the X6 (T20 super six), which gave Suzuki
much name credibility. In 1962 Using MZ’s technology, Suzuki wins the
newly created 50cc class in the World Championship.
1971 The GT7The Water Buffalo was introduced in 1971 in America and
the Kettle in Britain - both the same GT750 bike and the start for Suzuki to
enter the super bike market. The GT750 wasn't a very impressive machine
and also couldn't match the other bikes in the market at the time. Once again
the production kept going based on its demand for good price and reliability.
In 1974 The RE5 is the first Japanese motorcycle with a rotary engine. It
cost a fortune to develop and, while not bad, it’s a commercial disaster. After
two years, the company abandons the project, and there are rumors the
tooling was dumped into the sea so that Suzuki managers would never have
to see it again.

2.13 CUSTOMER SATISFACTION IN 7 STEPS
It's a well known fact that no business can exist without customers. In the business of
Website design, it's important to work closely with your customers to make sure the site or
system you create for them is as close to their requirements as you can manage. Because
it's critical that you form a close working relationship with your client, customer service is of
vital importance. What follows are a selection of tips that will make your clients feel valued,
wanted and loved.
This is the most daunting and downright scary part of interacting with a customer. If you're
not used to this sort of thing it can be a pretty nerve-wracking experience. Rest assured,
though, it does get easier over time. It's important to meet your customers face to face at
least once or even twice during the course of a project. Suzuki believes that if a potential
client spends over half the meeting doing the talking, you're well on your way to a sale. In
SMPIL always face to face dealing with customer
This goes without saying really. We all know how annoying it is to wait message and you'll
contact them about it as soon as possible. Even if days for a response to an email or phone
call. It might not always be practical to deal with all customers' queries within the space of a
few hours, but at least email or call them back and let them know you've received their
you're not able to solve a problem right away, let the customer know you're working on it.
Suzuki always listen customer problem and solve his queries and always have
communication with customer.
32 | P a g e
3. BE FRIENDLY AND APPROACHABLE:
It's very important to be friendly, courteous and to make your clients feel like you're their
friend and you're there to help them out. There will be times when you want to beat your
clients over the head repeatedly with a blunt object - it happens to all of us. It's vital that
you keep a clear head, respond to your clients' wishes as best you can, and at all times
remain polite and courteous.
In Suzuki showroom all workers are trained and well behave with customer. Suzuki
showroom’s staff very friendly with clients.
This may not be too important when you're just starting out, but a clearly defined customer
service policy is going to save you a lot of time and effort in the long run. If a customer has a
problem, what should they do? If the first option doesn't work, then what? Should they
contact different people for billing and technical enquiries? If they're not satisfied with any
aspect of your customer service, who should they tell?
There's nothing more annoying for a client than being passed from person to person, or not
knowing who to turn to. Making sure they know exactly what to do at each stage of their
enquiry should be of utmost importance. So make sure your customer service policy is
present on your site -- and anywhere else it may be useful.
In Suzuki all terms & conditions are clearly mentioned so that no doubt in customer mind.
Have you ever received a Happy Birthday email or card from a company you were a client
of? Have you ever had a personalized sign-up confirmation email for a service that you could
tell was typed from scratch? These little niceties can be time consuming and aren't always
cost effective, but remember to do them.
33 | P a g e
Even if it's as small as sending a Happy Holidays email to all your customers, it's something.
It shows you care; it shows there are real people on the other end of that screen or
telephone; and most importantly, it makes the customer feel welcomed, wanted and
valued.
Suzuki has keep detail of all customers and make them happy on specific occasion.
Sometimes this is easier said than done! However, achieving this supreme level of
understanding with your clients will do wonders for your working relationship.
Suzuki always tries to know about customer needs and make the product according to
them.
It's possible this is the most important point in this article. The simple message: when you
promise something, deliver. The most common example here is project delivery
dates.Clients don't like to be disappointed. Sometimes, something may not get done,
or you might miss a deadline through no fault of your own. Projects can be
late, technology can fail and sub-contractors don't always deliver on time.

CHAPTER -3
The report has been prepared on the basis of information collected from different
sources. In order to achieve the objective of the project proper research method
was applied. After giving through brain storming session, objectives were selected
and the set on the base of these objectives, A questionnaire was designed major
emphasis of which was gathering new ideas or insight so as to determine and bind
This study is a mix of explorative and formal methodologies adopting monitoring and
observing to study the dealerships in Patna city and communication to elicit
responses from customers. This is a cross sectional
study done during the months March-May.
The study also aims at findings out the customer satisfaction level of
SUZUKI ACCESS 125cc.For the customer satisfaction study a questionnaire was
formulated containing 22 questions which were sent out for response mainly through
personal interviews of customers. Results of this step formed the basis of the
recommendations given to the company.
35 | P a g e
3.3 SOURCE OF DATA
The report has been prepared as per the information obtained from two
sources. They are:
Primary data
Secondary data
1 PRIMARY DATA:
The primary data is that which details we collect first time from the market and also used
first time in the research. To collect the primary data structured non disguise questionnaire is
prepared. Primary Data was very crucial to collect so as to know various past & present
consumer views about bikes/scooter and to calculate the market share of this brand in
regards to other brands. Fresh primary data was collected by taking direct filling of a
questionnaire from customer which involved face to face, all the Suzuki
customer who visited the dealership showroom for the service of their
bikes/scooters were questioned in order to find out the behavior of customer.
2 SECNDARY DATA :
Secondary data are those which has been collected by some one else and2. SECONDARY
DATA: which already have been passed through statistical process. When the
secondary data are sufficient, the researcher has to be satisfied with the primary sources of
data. Secondary data can be used as bases for comparison with primary data have been
collected by questionnaire. Secondary data has been taken from internet, newspaper,
magazines and companies web sites.
Researcher instruments is the tool by which the researcher can do research on specific
problems or objective. The most popular researcher instrument for collection data is
“Questionnaire” for a particular investigation. It is simple for a moiled set of questions
presented to respondents for their answers. Due to this flexibility, it is most common
instrument used to collect the primary data. During the pre- testing of questionnaire, I
seen the reaction of respondents and suggestions required to make change in
research instrument. The questionnaire contains three types of question.
36 | P a g e
1) OPEN-ENDED QUESTION :
It is helpful in knowing what is uppermost in the mind of the
respondents. It gives complete freedom to the respondent.
2) DICHOTOMOUS QUESTION:
It has only two answers in form ‘yes’ or ‘no’,2)
DICHOTOMOUS QUESTIONS:-
‘true’ or ‘false’, ‘use’ or ‘do not use’. So the respondent is offered two or more
choice.
3) MULTIPLE-CHOICE QUESTION:
In this, the respondent is offered two or more choice.3)
SAMPLE DESIGN
SAMPLING PLAN:
Data collected has been analyzed and interpreted by using simple percentage
method and finally the data is presented in graphs and charts.
SAMPLING FRAME :
SAMPLE SITE:
SAMPLING UNIT:
It means “Who is to be surveyed”. Here target population is decided and it is who are
interested to purchase “Scooter” and sampling frame is developed so that every one in the
target population has known chance of being sampled. So the survey is conducted
particularly in Patna City.
37 | P a g e
SAMPLE SIZE:-
SAMPLING METHOD :-
A Stratified random sample is one where the population is divided in to mutually
exhaustive strata or sub-group and then a simple random is selected within each of strata
on age groups, occupation etc. It may be noted that stratification does not means absence
of randomness. I use a simple random sampling method.

As we can see here the major promotional tool which is influencing the customers is
advertisements which is around 49%, after that the major source of awareness among
customers, is Family 24% & friend’s 20%.
So here we can say that Suzuki should produce better advertisements like Access 125 and
they should link their ads with the emotions of the customers so that the brand recognition
by the customers will be for long time. The customers can still recall the punch lines of Bajaj
and Hero Honda such as HAMARA BAJAJ or HERO HONDA DESH KI DHADKAN. such should
also use such kind of heart loving lines.

5.4 : LIMITATIONS
The study is restricted only to the organized sector of two wheeler industry.
54 | P a g e
The seriousness of the respondents and their ability to justify their answers may
also be a limitation.
All interview questions are undisguised or direct. Hence there is a scope for the
respondents to be biased or pretentious.
During the survey most of the respondents contacted had newly purchased the
motorcycle thus they could not respond accurately i.e. their satisfaction level and
defects in the motorcycles.
The research is directly concerned with the study of human preference and
behavior and achieving absolute mathematical accuracy towards this was not
possible.
