2.1.1 AUTOMOBILE SECTOR IN INDIA

Earlier ,the only cars that were shining on the Indian roads were Ambassador and the premier

padmini. Locally assembled Fiat 1100 was premier Padmini, where as Ambassador is a replicate

of the Morris Oxford –an old British Car. But now we have so many makes and models that it is

very difficult to remember them all.

It was in the year 1983,a joint venture between the government and Suzuki motors of Japan that

paved the way for a renaissance in the Indian automobile sector and gave birth to Maruti Suzuki

800 from the hatch back segment. and from then outwards were was no looking back for the

Indian car industry. Today India is the second largest two-wheeler market, the fourth largest

commercial vehicle market and eleventh largest passenger car market in the world.

Now we have so many foreign car market pouring in with different new, attractive and luxurious

models to meet the growing demands for cars ,these car manufacturers have set up their base in

India. Name of car such as –Audi, BMW ,Chevrolet Fiat, Honda, Hyundai, Mahindra,

Mercedes-Benz, Skoda, Suzuki, Toyota Volkswagen, and Volvo. some of the makers like Ford

are playing to make India a regional hub that will allow exports of both small cars as well as

engines.

Maruti Suzuki is leader by far, but the No 2 spot in the Indian passenger vehicles could be

anybody’s game in the next couple of years, with at least four car makers in the race for that

position, reports.

It was previously one of the fastest growing markets globally, but it is currently experiencing flat

or negative growth rates. In 2009, India emerged as Asia's fourth largest exporter of passenger

cars, behind Japan, South Korea, and Thailand, overtaking Thailand to become third in 2010. As

of 2010, India was home to 40 million passenger vehicles. More than 3.7 million automotive

vehicles were produced in India in 2010 (an increase of 33.9%), making India the second fastest

growing automobile market in the world (after China).

3.1 INTRODUCTION OF AFTER SALES SERVICE

MEANING OF AFTER SALES SERVICE

“Periodic or as-required maintenance or repair of equipment by its manufacturer or supplier,

during and after a warranty period.”

Providing outstanding customer service after the sale may not only win you a customer for life,

but you’ll be more likely to receive customer referrals that can lead to more business.

I’m always baffled at why so many sales people fail to realize this as it’s one of the easiest ways

to generate more sales.

If you fail to provide personal customer service to your client, the next time he needs a product

or service your company sells, he’ll be more inclined to look elsewhere.

It may be a cliché but it’s true: It’s easier to keep a client you have that to find a new one

Disappearing after the sale is a huge mistake. As someone who has worked on both sides of the

fence, I know how frustrating it is for the customer when the salesperson they’ve built up a trust

with no longer decides they’re important enough to spend time with once the sale is closed. Or at

least they make it seem that way.

1.CustomerSatisfaction

2.CustomerLoyalty

Currently AKL Beijing’s after-sales cover the entire country. Each of these 30 centers is owned;

operated and trained under one complete operating system, lead by AKL’s teams at Beijing

Headquarters.

The importance of providing a window for direct face to face communications has proven vital

for the business development of AKL’s partners over the years. Superior customer service

including product troubleshooting and basic repairing services has ensured both high customer

satisfaction as well as controlled after-sales service costs, completing AKL’s company motto, To

Care To Understand for both companies and their customers.

What is After Sales Service ?

“After sales service refers to various processes which make sure customers are satisfied with the

products and services of the organization.”

The needs and demands of the customers must be fulfilled for them to spread a positive word of mouth. In

the current scenario, positive word of mouth plays an important role in promoting brands and products.

After sales service makes sure products and services meet or surpass the expectations of the customers.

After sales service includes various activities to find out whether the customer is happy with the products

or not? After sales service is a crucial aspect of sales management and must not be ignored.

Why After Sales Service ?

After sales service plays an important role in customer satisfaction and customer retention. It generates

loyal customers.

Customers start believing in the brand and get associated with the organization for a longer duration.

They speak good about the organization and its products.

SVERI’s COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING, PANDHARPUR, MBA (2015-2016) Page 26

Page 27: Comparative study of maruti suzuki and tata motors with reference to after sales service

SOLAPUR UNIVERSITY, SOLAPUR

A satisfied and happy customer brings more individuals and eventually more revenues for the

organization.

After sales service plays a pivotal role in strengthening the bond between the organization and customers.

After Sales Service Techniques

Sales Professionals need to stay in touch with the customers even after the deal. Never ignore

their calls.

Call them once in a while to exchange pleasantries.

Give them the necessary support. Help them install, maintain or operate a particular product.

Sales professionals selling laptops must ensure windows are configured in the system and

customers are able to use net without any difficulty. Similarly organizations selling mobile sim

cards must ensure the number is activated immediately once the customer submits his necessary

documents.

Any product found broken or in a damaged condition must be exchanged immediately by the

sales professional. Don’t harass the customers. Listen to their grievances and make them feel

comfortable.

Create a section in your organization’s website where the customers can register their complaints .

Every organization should have a toll free number where the customers can call and discuss their

queries. The customer service officers should take a prompt action on the customer’s queries. The

problems must be resolved immediately.

Take feedback of the products and services from the customers. Feedback helps the organization

to know the customers better and incorporate the necessary changes for better customer

satisfaction.

Ask the customers to sign Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC) with your organization. AMC is

an agreement signed between the organization and the customer where the organization promises

to provide after sales services to the second party for a certain duration at nominal costs.

The exchange policies must be transparent and in favor of the customer. The customer who

comes for an exchange should be given the same treatment as was given to him when he came for

the first time. Speak to him properly and suggest him the best alternative.

Production

The industry produced a total 1,909,327 vehicles including passenger vehicles, commercial

vehicles, three wheelers and two wheelers in April 2015 as against 1,861,874 in April 2014,

registering a marginal growth of 2.55 percent over the same month last year.

technology in their product.
