During my work-based dissertation, I got opportunity to apply my theoretical skills and know ledge and meaningful concept to actual business condition and acquaintwith the marketing activities of the products. All the work do on thisproject is confined to mybroad objective.In instantlys world of intense competition and rapid dynamism, all companies worldwide are tuning their centralise on the customer. Suddenly, customer had succeeded in capturing all attention of the companies towards him, so much so, that maxim, customer is god has become so true and relevant today. There has been a paradigm shift in the thinking of these companies and none other than customer has brought this about.Earlier there was seller market, since the hots and attend tos were in short supply and sellers give to call the shots. But ever since the advent of era of globalization there has been original transformation in the delegacy of customers being perceived. Today, marketers are marketers are directing their effort in retaining customers and customer base.The customer importance has assu med imponderable proportion in todays world beca give of inherent regard as that customers command. A customer can make or break the company. It is the responsibility of every company that to see all its customers are equally satisfied with them , for one single dissatisfied customer give tell at least nine other customer about the dissatisfaction and will spark off the chain chemical reaction and spell doom for that companyIn the past customer were taken as ride, as there were not many players in the fields, not much importance was attached to product safety, tone of voice, service and product appeal. The attitude of manufacturer was that of Caveat-emptor. Thanks to the government policies on liberalization, globalization and privatization, the market has changed today. Today customer has phalanx of defence mechanism like customer protection laws, regulation of government, the powerful hands of ecesis, switching to or competitors. The maxim Caveat-emptor has been replaced by C aveat-venditor.In the past after sales service was consider as monetary value centre, companies were lethargic in attending the customer complaints. Availability of trainee service personal and quality genuine supererogatory parts was serious problems. However, with rising competition, there could not be much product differentiation as product, quality was comparable and latest engine room was with each and every company in the field.Since there could not be much differential a tangible as bewilders, the companies concentrated on the intangible assets normally service factor which served as major differentiator.
