EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Retail seems to be the buzzword for the Telecom Companies, the reasons are many right
from the legal threat to the alternative channels like Direct Sales to the zeal to make the
product available to the potential user who is expected to be of comparatively lower SEC
and largely includes first time users, all in all there exists a well defined logic for the
newly found Retail Focus amongst the Telecom Companies.
IDEA cellular wishes to strengthen the presence of its Postpaid Connections in the Retail
Channel which currently contributes only 12% to 14% of the total sales of Postpaid, for
this a comprehensive market research was conducted with the following objectives
1. To find out reasons and solution to address to lesser contribution to Postpaid Sales
from the Retail Channel across the industry.
2. To compare IDEA with Airtel and Hutch with an objective of finding solution to
match and exceed the performance of its retail channel over a period of time.
Since the research project was allotted to a Management Summer Trainee there was aneed for an exploratory study to understand the working of the Retail Channel and to
identify the factors which need to be validated though a quantitative study to be carried
out across nine regions in which postpaid market of Delhi Circle is divided with sample
sizes adequate to fulfill minimum requirement for data of a particular region to be called
Normal.

At the end of the study it was found out that retail was fundamentally different from the
Direct Sales Channel as Customers visit the shop with an intent to buy there is
considerably more information search at customers end which means most of them have
some preferences even if they are not very clear, this highlights the relevance of Brand
Pull which is an Area of weakness for IDEA, however the company has started working
on the aspects of Service Delivery and Quality which is a fundamental of Brand
Quality in Telecom, however this is a long term investment plan and the effects would be
seen only in due course of time.
It was found that for Postpaid intensity of the channel is selective as only around 60%
of the retailers dealing in Mobile connections dealt in the Postpaid Variety, however only
29% of the Non-Telecom shops dealt in Postpaid which clearly implies that Telecom
Shops present a larger potential for the Postpaid connections and hence defines the focus
area, the logic to this lies in the fact that Postpaid is a much more complex product
than Prepaid, and is a product that needs to be pushed as the demand for it is
constantly decreasing.
The product is very dynamic in nature the number of plans for individuals has gone up
from 20 in 2004-05 to 150 in 2006-07, for Retail itself plans keep on changing tin order
to meet the need of customization from the users, in such situation Dealer has to be
supported by providing him solutions to explain the product to the customer, small cards
indicating the key benefits and the customer segment addressed would provide logistical
ease to the distributor and a solution to dealers problem of keeping plan update another
alternative is to initiate a service called Dealer Helpline wherein dealer can
immediately enquire Plan Details as and when a customer walks in . In such
circumstances it becomes essential to maintain close knit relation with the dealer as he
usually recommends a brand for which he remembers the Tariff Plans.

More number of dealers recommends Prepaid than do Postpaid despite of a greater
commission in Postpaid. There are a few major reasons for this, which are as follows
1. Difficulty of updating product knowledge
2. Lack of Trust on Bill
3. Prepaid Customer keeps revisiting the shops. And acts as a potential for cross
selling.
There was an immense need to make the bill clear which can be very easily done by
mentioning the plan details on the bill this will make it easy for the user to cross check
the bill and will go on to improve trust levels on bill over a period of time, also it was
found that customers face a problem locating payment center so it was found to be a good
idea to indicate five nearest bill payment options in the users vicinity on the bill itself.
Dealers were not motivated to sell Postpaid as their role ends as they close the sale while
in Prepaid there is a long term relationship with customer as he keeps visiting the shop
for recharge coupons and top-ups, and provides retailer long term earning and a potential
for cross selling, therefore to solve this problem company is trying to implement a model
where in dealers can be provided an option to activate and deactivate Add On packages,
this is expected to work in two ways i.e. apart from solving the above mentioned
problems this will highlight Flexibility as a USP of Postpaid and remove the tag ofProduct for High Usage group only.
All in all it is a market that has only two major pillars Dealer Service and
Fundamental Brand quality.

INTRODUCTION
IDEA cellular is the fourth operator amongst the GSM operators in the Delhi Market, and
intends to focus on the retail market for the sales of Postpaid Connections, currently the
major chunk of the sales comes from the corporate sales channel and the Direct Sales
Channel which contribute around 30% and 55% of the sales respectively, while retail
has been contributing a meager12% to 14% of the total sales of Post paid connections.
Retail is the upcoming trend in distribution of Telecom as researches show that new
customers will come from the lower SECs and the potential customers are those who
have not used mobiles or even telephones earlier Retail will be the best channel to
penetrate to this user group and apart from this reason to create value of availability for
potential user the legal threat hovering around the future of the Direct Sales Channel is
also a cause of concern for the telecom companies which has facilitated the retail focus.
Looking at it carefully there exist two key issues, primarily the retail channels
contribution to the sales of Postpaid is 15% to 20% across the industry and specific to
IDEA, its performance in retail is worse than the other two major players which
constitute a strong competition in the market, Doing a comparative analysis Hutch theleader in retail reaps around 22% to 25% of the total Postpaid sales from this channel,
whereas Airtel is at a comparatively lesser 18% to 20% of the total Postpaid Sales from
retail.

The major reason for the poor results achieved from this channel is the complicated
nature of the product which is highly dynamic and requires intense information flow
across the channel, consumers expectation from the dealer is that of Full Service1
wherein they expect the dealer to assist in both Comparison and Selection, in such a
situation dealer needs expertise on the product which is tough to achieve considering its
highly dynamic nature, in such a situation it is very important to maintain strongly knit
relationship to continuously assess the need of the retailer and give him support as and
when required.
Another important issue is that Ideas performance is significantly lesser compared to
Airtel and Hutch, which is a major cause of concern. Fundamentally, the retail channel is
different from the direct sales channel as one it is a channel shared by all the brands
which gives the retailer options and makes him powerful which increase the retailers
expectations for service from the operator on the other hand because a customer buying
from retail is expected to have done more information search as compared to a customer
targeted through Direct Sales who may or may not have planned to purchase a connection
and hence there exist more chances that the customer coming to retail shop would have
developed a preference based on the information collected through various sources, thiswe call as Brand Pull which in Delhi Market and specially for Postpaid is the least for
IDEA when compared to Airtel and Hutch. This can be due to various reasons but
Service Delivery and Quality seems to be the most dominant as according to a research
by TNS Mode for Ideas Womens Card 73% of the potential buyers source there
information from Family and friends who are currently using a particular service.

COMPANY PROFILE
Idea Cellular MISSION:
Innovate. Stimulate. Liberate.
Through Continuous innovation, Idea Cellular seeks to liberate customers from the
shackles of time and space.
IDENTITY:
Idea Cellular antecedents dates back to 1995, when the Aditya Birla Group and AT&T
(through Birla AT&T Communications Maharashtra & Gujarat circle) and the Tata
Group (through Tata Cellular - Andhra Pradesh circle) set up cellular networks. Both the
above companies were amongst the first in India to commercially start operation in
circles other than metros and achieve financial closure in Indian Telecom industry.
In the year 2000, the historic path-breaking merger of Tata Cellular with Birla AT&T
Communications and the subsequent acquisition of RPG Cellular - (Madhya Pradesh
circle) in the year 2001 helped the company to aim even further and led to the
formation of Birla Tata AT&T Limited. In year 2001, company won fourth cellular
license for Delhi circle and in year 2002 company introduced common brand !DEA
and changed the name to IDEA Cellular Limited.
Since then, there has been no looking back for IDEA Cellular. The company launched
Delhi operations in year 2002 and added a record 100,000 subscriber within one month of
launch.
In 2003, the company achieved the largest financial closure in Indian Telecom for its
entire circle. In 2004, the company entered into definitive agreement to acquire Escotel
Mobile Communications (existing operator in Haryana, Kerala and UP (W)) and Escorts

Telecommunications (cellular licensee holder for UP (e), Himachal Pradesh and
Rajasthan)

EXPLORATORY STUDY RETAIL CHANNEL OF POSTPAID
The objective of exploratory study was to understand the model of operation of
retail channel and there by identify key factors which can be further validated
through a quantitative study, this qualitative study will therefore form the base
while formulation of questionnaire for the extensive quantitative study.
1. The Factors that could be identified through the interviews with the Area Sales
Managers.
Players in the market are trying to increase the penetration of sales and customer
service through exclusive outlets, while IDEA has been slow in adopting the
concept.
Hutch has 28 exclusives in East Delhi, while IDEA has 2
Hutch has 43 exclusives while IDEA has 3.

IDEA has just recently come up with the concept of IDEA ZONE that is an
IDEA Exclusive for Sales, Collection and Customer Care.
Commission and regular contact are hygiene factors, which are just the bare
minimum that the dealer deserves.
Dealer Helpline can help us differentiate in terms of Dealer Service
Dealer Helpline becomes all the more important considering, IDEA is
following Push Strategy.
Weaker Postpaid infrastructure
In North Delhi Hutch has 800 Drop Boxes while IDEA has 32
Lack of Commitment and ownership of Dealer sales on the end of the SEFO
(Senior Executive Franchise Officer) leading to delayed activations and there by
dissatisfied dealers.
Customer Care availability and product knowledge of the customer care
executives.
Timelines for activation of services like VAS.
2. Factors Identified after Interviewing the Distributors
Customer Care is a major issue.
Ill-Effects the walk in Sales by affecting the Showroom Ambience.
Summer Internship - Idea Cellular Ltd. 20
-
8/8/2019 Arvind Kumar Choubey , Final Project on Idea 2
21/88
Creates Post- Purchase Dissonance.
POP support to the dealers
Timely supply (to efficiently utilize the strength of a plan)
Quantity, considering the market scenario reduces the shelf life of posters
to less than a day.
3. Factors Identified after Interviewing the Dealers
Lack of Brand Pull (most dealers said customer nai mangta to hum kya kar sakte
hain)
Fundamental Problems- Network (partly a perception) and Customer Care
(Quantitatively improving quality still an issue)
Customer Care can go a long way in creating a pull as there will be
positive word of mouth through the existing customer.
Dealer Perception is a much more critical factor.
Dealer perceives risk in selling IDEA (N/W and CC)
He anyways is not too keen to sell postpaid (less difference in terms of
commission)
POP for dealer is a solution, helps him explain the schemes to customer
Dealer is largely not concerned with posters
He mainly wants material which can help him to explain schemes to the
customer, this is one of the factors which gives Airtel and Hutch an edge)

8/8/2019 Arvind Kumar Choubey , Final Project on Idea 2
22/88
Dealer service is the most critical issue for the dealer
In most markets visited it was good and the dealers were happy,
however said that Either Customer Care is not available or thecommitment made by the Customer Care Executives is
imprudent
Brand Shops:
It is very good, as a concept however requires neighborhood marketing.
Dealers were largely found to be comfortable with the plans and offerings,
however did seek POP support.
Location is very critical as viewing from a perspective of Postpaid sales, location
of Brand Shop is critical (as some markets do not support Postpaid sales)
Our Customer Care and all public sources like the website should highlight the
Brand Shops
Most Critical Factors Identified can be listed as:
1. Weaker Brand Pull
2. Network Problems and Customer Perception related to this.
3. Exclusive Outlets - Penetration4. Dealer Service-An opportunity to differentiate through facilities like
Dealer Helpline
5. POP - Timely Delivery that is delivery at a time at which plan can be
effectively utilized

6. POP - Quantity - Considering the fact that life cycle of posters is less than
a day).
7. POP as a source of providing solution to the Dealer
8. Customer Care - an opportunity to improve fundamental Brand Quality
9. Retailer Perception - relating to network and Customer Care.
QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS AND VALIDATION OF DATA
INTENSITY OF DISTRIBUTION
We now look at various existing scenarios in the Retail Channel with an objective of
finding out a solution to improve the efficiency of the channel and thereby, increase its
contribution to the total pie of sales of postpaid connections
The first question that comes to the mind is who are the dealers and is every shop dealing
in mobile connections will also be dealing in the post paid variety; the following analysis
will give an answer

Figure 1
Postpaid as a product is thinly spread as compared to prepaid as visible from the fact that
only 60% of the dealers who deal in telecom connections deal in the Postpaid variety, this
generates a need for identifying the potential dealers for a focused retail expansion plan.
The following analysis is an indicative of the scenario in both telecom and non telecom
shops for postpaid connections.

We get a clear indication that the Telecom Shops present a much better potential for
Postpaid Connection as a product, we will understand the reasons for this as we go
through this analysis as there are many more comparisons of performance of Telecom
and Non-Telecom shops.
Another important aspect we need to know is about the reasons, why postpaid is
comparatively thinner in its presence in the market compared to prepaid; we get a
few answers when we look at the reasons for which the dealers were not dealing in
postpaid.

The top three reasons which the dealers recalled without prompting were:
1. Lack of Demand- 56% of the dealers mentioned this as a reason for not dealing
in postpaid.
2. Lack of Trust on Billing 35% of the dealers mentioned this as a reason for not
dealing in postpaid.
3. To keep update of plan is tough 37% of the dealers for not dealing in postpaid.
Lack of Demand means that the particular dealer does not have the clientele for
postpaidor if we link it up with the other two reasons it may also be the case where
because of poor product knowledge he does not want to create customers for postpaid or
because of threat of imprudent bill he does not want to sell the postpaid connections.
Telecom market is a sort of market where the role of the distribution channel is extremely
significant not only for availability but also for spread of information and various

different distributors handle Dealer Sales in different zones.
Table 1
(CPV is the process of verification which is to check if the details furnished by the
customer at the time of applying for a postpaid connection are genuine done with the
intention of ascertaining the customer identity and payment security)
This regional analysis will help in understanding the performance of the existing
Distribution channel in terms of expanding the market, by convincing more dealers to
deal in postpaid the dominant factors may vary across the nine regions, this is of critical
importance for determining the focus of effort in a particular region

NORTH DELHI:
CPV problem and the difficulty of updating the product knowledge were the
reasons recalled by maximum number of dealers in North Delhi.

the overall trend.
CPV problem is a much bigger concern for the Dealers in this region, as a
significantly larger percentage of the dealers recalled this as a reason for not
dealing in postpaid.
WEST DELHI:
In this region the problem of Updating Plan Knowledge is Very Significant.
Lack of demand is not the top reason for not dealing in postpaid but it is still a
significant concern as 50% of the dealers said this while the average percentage
across Delhi and NCR is 56%
Schemes like Lifetime are also much more significant in this region as a much
higher 29% of the dealers mentioned this as a reason to avoid postpaid while
average percentage across Delhi and NCR is only 8%.
CENTRAL DELHI:
Lack of Demand was mentioned by 66% Dealers in this region which is inline
with the overall scenario.
Belief that Postpaid sells through Exclusives is quite significant in this region.
Lack of Trust n Bill and Updation of Product Knowledge are not as significant in
this region which is a deviation from overall averages.
EAST DELHI
Lack of Trust on Bill the reason mentioned by the maximum 75% Dealers while
overall average stands at 35%.

as is the case as reflected in the overall averages; however it is still very strong for
consideration as 62% of the dealers mentioned it.
37% of the dealers said they do not deal in Postpaid as they are better sold
through Exclusive Outlets which is significantly higher than the overall recall of

Lack of demand is the reason stated by maximum number of dealers
29% of dealers did not deal in postpaid as they said that it sells from exclusivecounters which are significantly higher than overall 15%.

It was found through aided testing that the four major reasons for which the dealers were
not dealing in postpaid in the descending order of there significance were, as follows
1. Lack of demand for postpaid
2. Problem of updating with continuously changing plans.
3. Fear of complaints like wrong billing
4. Takes time to sell postpaid
The revelation made through the aided testing was that although none of the
dealers mentioned that it takes time to sell postpaid is a reason why he does not deal
in the product however it was found significant when dealer was prompted.

Highlights of the regional analysis for the ratings given to the factors (for not
dealing in postpaid) across the nine regions.
1. The Results of factor rating are largely in line with the Results for Unaided
Questions
2. Fear of CPV negative is a concern in North and Faridabad
3. Lack of proper documents amongst customers is significantly more important in
North Delhi as the belt covered is a one dominated by students (Area near Delhi
University)
4. Problem of updating with continuously changing plans is very important in West
Delhi as indicated by a healthy rating of 4.5 on a 5 point scale.

Problem of Continuous Updation of Product was rated significantly higher in
Non- Telecom Shops; this is because Telecom is not their main business.
The Non-Telecom shops are significantly more concerned about time it takes to
Sell Postpaid, again that is because it takes time out of their main business

Another statistic that proves this is that a good 22% of the dealers across Delhi and NCR
say that they analyze the usage of the customer before recommending a plan.
This Implies that dealers are playing the role of Advisors, it will not be wrong to say that
dealers are becoming consultants
This further enhances the role of providing better information support to the dealers
and it will be beneficial to provide visual presentation material (like planners and plan
detailers).

WHAT DOES THE DEALER RECOMMEND PREPAID OR POSTPAID
Considering the fact postpaid is a product which requires push and customers generally
do not come with a determined intention to buy postpaid, dealers recommendation
becomes very significant in figure 6 we observed that only 25% of the dealers across
Delhi and NCR recommend postpaid lets analyze the dealers recommendations in detail

An exceptionally high percentage of Dealers recommend Postpaid in Ghaziabad
and Faridabad (greater than 50% at both the places which is a huge deviation from
overall 25% overall)
An exceptionally low 9% and 13% of the dealers in Central Delhi and West Delhi
respectively recommend postpaid this is way below the overall mean percentage
of dealers recommending postpaid.

In Delhi East Delhi was the most open to the idea of postpaid as visible from
figure 7. A good 25% dealers recommend postpaid.

It is clear from figure 8 that NCR market is more favorable to postpaid than the Delhi
Market as we go further we will be able to relate it to the sales of postpaid in the
respective markets, and also the reasons for this wide gap will flow in from various
analyses.
WHY IS THE DEALER RECOMMENDING A PARTICULAR CATEGORY?
Now having understood what the dealers are recommending in this market lets try to
understand why the dealers are generally recommending prepaid over postpaid, figure 6

The top three reasons for recommending prepaid over postpaid as recalled by the dealers
across Delhi and NCR are
1. Lack of trust in bill
2. Keeping update of ever changing plans is tough
3. Control on usage in prepaid.
The strange thing that comes out of this is that the top two of the top three reasons for
recommending prepaid indicate problems of promoting postpaid more than intent to pushprepaid the main reason for this is the fact that postpaid is a more lucrative product to sell
in terms of monetary benefits and also the fact that prepaid will anyways sell and does
not need much of a push from the dealers side.

which give an opportunity to make a targeted action plan to resolve the core issue in a
particular region.
