;hortly the first a!!earance of the car folloed in India. As the century turned,

three cars ere im!orted in Mumbai. 1ithin decade there ere total of &)(+ cars

The dan of automobile actually goes back to B)) years hen the first heel as

used for trans!ortation in India. In the beginning of &+th  century, @ortuguese

arri0ed in china and the interaction of the to cultures led to a 0ariety of ne

technologies, including the creation of a heel that turned under its on !oer. %y

&>))s small steam8!oered engine models as de0elo!ed, but it took another 

century before a full si:ed engine !oered 0ehicle as created.

%rother Charles and frank /uryea introduced the horseless carriage in the year 

&D*=. It as the first internal combustion motor car of America, and it asfolloed by enry ford's first e9!erimental car that same year.

5ne of the highest rated early lu9ury automobiles as the &*)* rolls Royce sil0er

and hood, and an aluminum body.

Chauffeurs usually dro0e it and em!hasis as on comfort and style rather than

s!eed. /uring the &*()s, the cars e9hibited design refinements such as balloon

tires, !ressed steel heel, and four heel brakes.

7raham @aige /C !haeton of &*(* featured an D cylinder engine and an aluminum

1. LITERATURE OF T!E STUDY

;ales are the acti0ities in0ol0ed in selling !roducts or ser0ices in return for money

or other com!ensation. It is an act of com!letion of a commercial acti0ity. The

Pdeal is closedP, means the customer has consented to the !ro!osed !roduct or 

ser0ice by making full or !artial !ayment #as in case of installments$ to the seller.

Academically, selling is thought of as a !art of marketing, hoe0er, the to

disci!lines are com!letely different. ;ales often form a se!arate grou!ing in a

cor!orate structure, em!loying se!arate s!ecialist o!erati0es knon as  salesmen

#singular2 salesman$. ;ales are considered by many to be a sort of !ersuading PartP.Contrary to !o!ular belief, the methodological a!!roach of selling refers to a

 systematic process of  repetitive and measurable milestones, by which a salesman

relates his offering of a  product or service in return enabling the buyer to achieve

his goal in an economic way.

A sale is com!leted by the seller, the oner of the goods. It starts ith consent #or 

agreement$ to an ac<uisition or a!!ro!riation or re<uest folloed by the !assing of 

title #!ro!erty or onershi!$ in the item and the a!!lication and due settlement of a

 !rice, the obligation for hich arises due to the sellerQs re<uirement to !ass

onershi!, being a !rice he is ha!!y to !art ith onershi! of or any claim u!onthe item. The !urchaser, though a !arty to the sale does not e9ecute the sale, only

the seller does that. To be !recise the sale com!letes !rior to the !ayment and gi0es

rise to the obligation of !ayment. If the seller com!letes the first to abo0e stages

#consent and !assing onershi!$ of the sale !rior to settlement of the !rice the sale

is still 0alid and gi0es rise to an obligation to !ay.

research effort, it can be internal data, such as e9isting sales tracking information,

or it can be research conducted by someone else, such as a market research

com!any or the .;. go0ernment.

@. DATA #OLLE#TION MET!OD

/ata collection took !lace ith the hel! of filling of <uestionnaires. The

<uestionnaire e method has come to the more idely used and economical meansof data collection. The common factor in all 0arieties of the <uestionnaire method

is this reliance on 0erbal res!onses to <uestions, ritten or oral. I found it essential

to make sure the <uestionnaire as easy to read and understand to all s!ectrums of 

 !eo!le in the sam!le. It as also im!ortant as researcher to res!ect the sam!le time

and energy hence the <uestionnaire as designed in such a ay, that its

administration ould not e9ceed B8+ mines. These <uestionnaires ere !ersonally

administered.

The first hand information as collected by making the !eo!le fill the

<uestionnaires. The !rimary data collected by directly interacting ith the !eo!le.

The res!ondents ere contacted at sho!!ing malls, markets, !lace that ere

shorooms and near to shorooms of the consumer durable !roducts etc.

The data as collected by interacting ith B) customer and &+ em!loyees

res!ondents ho filled the <uestionnaires and ga0e me the re<uired necessary

information. The res!ondents consisted of housei0es, students, businessmen,

 !rofessional etc. the re<uired information as collected by directly interacting ith

these res!ondents.

B. POPULATION

It is a descri!tion of the characteristics of that grou! of !eo!le from hom a course

is intended. It attem!ts to describe them as they are rather than as the describer 

ould like them to be. Also called the audience to be ser0ed by our !rojectincludes key demogra!hic information. The s!ecific !o!ulation intended as

 beneficiaries of a !rogram. This ill be either all or a subset of !otential user, such

as adolescents, omen, rural residents, or the residents of a !articular geogra!hic

area. To!ic areas go0ernance, accountability and e0aluation, o!eration

management and leadershi!.

A !o!ulation to be reached through some action or inter0ention may refer to

grou!s ith s!ecific demogra!hic or geogra!hic characteristics. The grou! of 

 !eo!le you are trying to reach ith a !articular strategy or acti0ity. The target !o!ulation is the !o!ulation I ant to make conclude an ideal situation the

sam!ling frames to matches the target !o!ulation. A s!ecific resource set that is the

object or target of in0estigation. The audience defined in age, background, ability,

and !references, among other things, for hich a gi0en course of instruction is

intended. I ha0e selected the sam!le trough sim!le random sam!ling.

C. SAMPLING MET!OD

This in0ol0es figuring out ho many sam!les one need.

The numbers of sam!les you need are affected by the folloing factors

I ha0e targeted B) customer and &+ em!loyees in the age grou! abo0e (& year for 

the !ur!ose of the research. The target !o!ulation influences the sam!le si:e. The

target !o!ulation re!resents the gurgaon, %ikaner regions. The !eo!le ere from

different !rofessional backgrounds. The details of our sam!le are e9!lained in

cha!ter named !rimary research here the di0isions are e9!lained in demogra!hics

section.

;. DATA #OLLE#TION INSTRUMENT

The instrument used for !re!aring my !roject is <uestionnaire.

Suestionnaire is a de0ice or tools of marketing research to collect

information. It is a techni<ue of communication ith the res!ondent. It may be

sim!ly defined as F(ra) )ist (f usti(s +sig+ t( gat7r if(rati(

fr( rs,(+t ( a gi- t(,ic3.

A ell8drafted <uestionnaire brings success to inter0ie and inter0ieers.

It o0ercomes resistance on res!ondents. A <uestionnaire should be com!lete,

concise and clear.

A <uestionnaire may consist2

&. 5!en8ended <uestions

(. Multi8choice <uestion

5!en8ended <uestions ha0e no fi9ed alternati0e to hich the anser must

confirm. The res!ondent ansers in his on ords and at length he chooses.

 Multi!le <uestions are one, hich !ro0ides se0eral objecti0es to anser

In this !roject ork the <uestionnaire both, the ty!e of <uestions ere used to
