    LIMITATIONS

    Sample size is small so sampling error may becommitted

    Many questionnaires were through telephonicconversation

    Authorized Dealers of ABB switches in northernregion is very less

    Since study time was less, so so my study area waslimited to northern zone(excluding Delhi and NCR)

    Consumers were scattered very far off so I courier

    them, to which many didnt replied The research area is limited to Punjab,Haryana(Karnal, Yamunanagar, Ambala), Jammu &Kashmir, and Himachal Pradesh, so the resultscannot be generalized.

    FINDINGS:-

    About ABB switches many customers are unaware,it is in ratio 50:50

    80% of dealers of ABB have Legrand also with them

    Dealers are not satisfied with the brand ABB.(This

    is as per overall ratings)

    Market share of Legrand is the highest and many

    dealers of ABB have the sales of ABB in 0-20% and

    10% dont have any share of ABB in their sales.

    Which means ABB as a brand in switches is not

    doing good With the prices of ABB dealers are not satisfied.

    Even though other brands have nearly same prices

    as ABB but still they are preferred over ABB

  • 8/3/2019 ABB Market Report

    61/71

    Even with ABB looks (aesthetic) and durability

    dealers are not satisfied. Legrand enjoys the

    leadership here.

    SSK is another brands which is getting

    comparable rating to ABB

    The main problem of ABB is with unawareness of

    brand- ABB Switches. This problem is faced by

    dealers while selling the product. As customers

    are not aware about the product so convincingthem is a tedious task.

    Quality is another major problem being faced by

    dealers

    RECOMENDATIONS As the competition in this field is very much so the major

    stress should be on creating the brand awareness, throughadvertisement, campaigns, promotional schemes to dealersand to the customers

    Legrand is the market leader so to be in the competition ABBneed to re construct its design part/ improve its design to

    attract customers. The prices need to be lower than customers, to attract new

    customers.

    In every city representative of ABB must be there to keepaccount of sales in routine, and to study the needs of thatparticular region. This will help in boosting up the sales

    After sales services of company need to be improved byappointing engineer for every zone.

  • 8/3/2019 ABB Market Report

    63/71

    For the prompt handling of queries, complaints and

    requests, it is suggested that one more person should

    be employed in every zone. It is recommended that training programs should be

    organized frequently and dealers should be informed

    and persuaded to participate in this so that handling

    of problems and complaints by customers can be

    handled by dealers and employees in more quickly and

    delay is not made.

    In switches segment company should award the

    highest seller of the month/ or year. This will motivate

    the dealers

  • 8/3/2019 ABB Market Report

    64/71

    More contests should be floated to keep thedealers motivated it will help in raising the salesmany fold.

    Lastly, it is also strongly advised that companymust resolve the issues and pay heal tosuggestions given by dealers in thequestionnaires so that this project does notbecome a futile exercise.

    It was also found during survey that company ishaving 2-3 dealers in every city, but more than 50% do not keep Domestic switches. To improveupon the sales of switches to company shouldencourage them to keep switches in their stores,

    this will help increase the brand awareness andalso the sales will increase.
