suggestions to improve the same. The project also gives insights into the various
financial terms, norms of the sales and service departments as per the guidelines of
the telecom industry.
The project was designed after detailed discussion with the company officials on
three parameters i.e. distribution network, service network and sales functioning.

Interviews & Discussions with the company officials, dealers and Sales people.
Questionnaires were used to record data.
LIMITATIONS:
It was difficult to ask for time required for a detailed discussion on the
questionnaire & therefore several aspects of the questionnaire were answered
briefly.
The company officials did not divulge details about competitive sales policies,
strategies & certain financial terms with dealers as they find it to be a confidential
piece of information of the company.

of a dealer is solely depended on the discretion of the company officials.
