CHAPTER-2 INTRODUCTION
2.1
meeting customers for my project work. I joined the company as a Sales Executive. The selection of the topic was to know how the company generates business through them. Sales Executives are those sources of a company who have their own relations and personal contacts among common public that they use to generate business through. Company has certain criteria to recruit these sales executives. The steps are as follows: He should be at least graduate. He should have good personal contacts. He should have convincing power. He should be above 21 year old.
Once he through all these steps of recruitment, he becomes the sales executive of the company and reserve the right to sale the various products to any prospect client also he is paid the commission a certain percentage. There are some reward and tour package also.
2.2
Sales Executives are one of the most powerful, efficient and effective channel through which the company sales its various types of financial products. It is really difficult to convince customers and sell a single product but since these executives have their own personal contacts which make the entire task easier to sell a product. Whereas in my entire project work I found my interest in working in a team, dealing with customers and finally convincing them to open an account with the bank.

The project opportunities provided was market segmentation and identifying prospective customers in potential geographical location and convincing them to open an account so that new Business Opportunities of the bank can be explored. Through this project, it could be concluded that people are not much aware about the various products of the bank and many of them not interested to open an account at all.
Services was considered as unsought good which require hard core selling, but in changing trend in income and people becoming financially literate, the demand for banking sector is increasing day by day. According to my findings companys promotional activities for recruiting sales executives are also very less.
So, at last the conclusion is that there is tough competition ahead for the company from its major competitors in the banking sector.

Last but not the least I would like to thank HDFC Bank for giving me an opportunity to work in the field of Marketing. I hope the company finds my analysis Relevant.
7.2 SUGGESTIONS: Finally some recommendations for the company are as follows: To make people aware about the benefit of becoming HDFC Banks sales executive, following activities of advertisement should be done through 1. Print media. 2. Hoarding & banners. 3. Stalls in trade fares 4. Distribution of leaflets containing details information. The bank should provide life time valid ATM card to all its customers. Minimum balance for savings account should be reduced from Rs 5000 to Rs 1000, so that people who are not financially strong enough can maintain their account properly. The company should provide a pass book to all its customers. Make people understand about the various benefits of its products. Company should organize the program in the society, so that people will be aware about the company and different products of the bank. Company should open more branches in different cities.
