Internship Report On Transcom Digital
Internship Report On Transcom Digital
0 Introduction
A multitude of companies today has already identified the need to create a loyal customer base and acknowledges that maintaining existing customers and extending business with them is significantly less expensive than acquiring new customers. Empirical proof of the proliferation of such customer loyalty efforts in the business world is e.g. provided in the form of loyalty programs, which many companies have installed during the past years. By engaging in efforts aimed at creating customer loyalty, which in turn fosters financial success in monetary terms firms react to increasing competitive challenges. Within research, the investigation of customer loyalty gained importance when the classic marketing paradigm with its instrumental and transactional orientation proved unsuitable in the context of longerterm business relationships. Instead, the relationship marketing approach, which is specifically concerned with the study of relational ex-changes, gained importance within research, serving as a conceptual foundation for the majority of customer loyalty researchers. The question of how loyalty develops has been subject to an abundance of research, leading to an expansive body of literature on loyalty determinants. The extant literature exploring different factors and their constituent effects on loyalty, however, reveals a strong focus on consumer goods and industrial equipment settings, while industrial services have received relatively little attention so far. In addition, the majority of articles incorporates merely a few potential determinants and thus fails to draw a comprehensive picture of the mechanisms of customer loyalty formation. Finally, this study will investigate in how far different relationship conditions influence the development of customer loyalty. For this purpose, important relationship characteristics will be identified and their moderating influences on the customer loyalty model will be examined. This will provide information on the robustness of the customer loyalty model versus relational contingencies and will suggest if it is necessary to differentiate customer loyalty efforts accordingly.
1.4 Scope
The report work is a comprehensive study of the marketing activities about the TEL. The report focuses on the overall customers buying behavior, the customers satisfaction on the Transcom Digitals services and their products. This research is restricted with the customer of Transcom Digital outlets in Dhaka city
1.5 Rationale
This report is a part of academic program. The internship program is required course for the students who are completing BBA from ASAUB. It is a program with duration of 3 months. I did my internship program from Transcom Electrical Ltd. for 3 months. This report is an exploratory research for understanding the consumers buying behavior from the Transcom Digital outlet. Basically this report insight, detail understanding about consumers buying behavior. This report will help to identify their problem about consumers buying decisions.
7 steps of influencing consumer buying behavior are: 1. Encourage Face-to-Face Dealings: This is the most daunting and downright scary part of interacting with a customer. If you're not used to this sort of thing it can be a pretty nerve-wracking experience. Rest assured, though, it does get easier over time. It's important to meet your customers face to face at least once or even twice during the course of a project. 2. Respond to Messages Promptly & Keep Your Clients Informed: This goes without saying really. We all know how annoying it is to wait days for a response to an email or phone call. It might not always be practical to deal with all customers' queries within the space of a few hours, but at least email or call them back and let them know you've received their message and you'll contact them about it as soon as possible. Even if you're not able to solve a problem right away, let the customer know you're working on it. 3. Be Friendly and Approachable: A fellow Site Pointer once told me that you can hear a smile through the phone. This is very true. It's very important to be friendly, courteous and to make your clients feel like you're their friend and you're there to help them out. There will be times when you want to beat your clients over the head repeatedly with a blunt object- it happens to all of us. It's vital that you keep a clear head, respond to your clients' wishes as best you can, and at all times remain polite and courteous. 4. Have a Clearly-Defined Customer Service Policy: This may not be too important when you're just starting out, but a clearly defined customer service policy is going to save you a lot of time and effort in the long run. If a customer has a problem, what should they do? If the first option doesnt work, then what? Should they contact different people for billing and technical enquiries? If they're not satisfied with any aspect of your customer service, who should they tell? There's nothing more annoying for a client than being passed from person to person, or not knowing who to turn to. Making sure they know exactly what to do at each stage of their enquiry should be of utmost importance. So make sure your customer service policy is present on your site -- and anywhere else it may be useful. 5. Attention to Detail (also known as 'The Little Niceties'): Have you ever received a Happy Birthday email or card from a company you were a client of? Have you ever had a personalized sign-up confirmation email for a service that you could tell was typed from scratch? These little niceties can be time consuming and aren't always cost effective, but remember to do them.
Even if it's as small as sending a Happy Holidays email to all your customers, it's something. It shows you care; it shows there are real people on the other end of that screen or telephone; and most importantly, it makes the customer feel welcomed, wanted and valued. 6. Anticipate Your Client's Needs & Go Out Of Your Way to Help Them Out Sometimes this is easier said than done! However, achieving this supreme level of understanding with your clients will do wonders for your working relationship. 7. Honor Your Promises: It's possible this is the most important point in this article. The simple message: when you promise something, deliver. Clients don't like to be disappointed. Sometimes, something may not get done, or you might miss a deadline through no fault of your own. Projects can be late, technology can fail and sub-contractors don't always deliver on time. In this case a quick apology and assurance it'll be ready ASAP wouldn't go a miss.

WEAKNESSES OF TRANSCOM
1. No nationwide own customer care set-up 2. Existing Competitors in the market 3. Unable to capture the lower income group.
5.1Summary of Findings
After analyzing the data and observing the outlets, I have found the following things: 1. In Gulshan outlet brand is the most important part of buying decision. They look for branded product and most of the customers are satisfied with the product and the behavior of the staffs. 2. The maximum number of customer thinks the price is fair and reasonable in the Gulshan outlet. 3. Transcom Digital targets middle income level or upper income group thats why lower income group cannot purchase from there. 4. There are no electronic advertising media, while surveying most of the respondent replied that TV and bill board is best advertising media, which is not done by Transcom digital. 5. The lack of knowledge of the Transcom digitals sales person. 6. There is no better promotional program. 7. There are shortages of products availability in Transcom digital. 8. Chinese product is capturing the market by reducing the prices of their same product. 9. Location is much important to some people; they want a good location along with good environment. 10. Transcom digital is good in the quality of product said the respondents. 11. Transcom Digital does not have individual customer care services.
5.2 Recommendations
1. Transcom Digital should introduce some individual customer care services, so that their after sale service becomes much better so that customer can be satisfied. 2. Transcom Digital should give the installment scheme for the lower income group on some of the product so that they could get a good quality product on their income level, they can also afford it as well. 3. The advertising media helps to gather information about the product company and as well as their promotions and discounts, it increases customer awareness. Transcom Digital should go for huge advertisement. 4. The advertising media that stimulate the respondents are TV and bill board. Transcom digital should start advertising on TV mostly and then they can try for bill boards so that customer notice the brands offered by them. 5. The price of the product are expensive according to the respondents the price of some product should be reduced or the product of low price range should be kept side by side in the showroom with the expensive products. 6. The staffs should be proper trained for this they can continue monthly or half yearly training session for the staffs. Since the consumers wants knowledgeable staff who can give full information about the product and can convince the consumer to purchase the product. 7. The products of different varieties should be kept in a showroom; a customer must not be disappointed with the selection of product since this is another important fact for the consumers. 8. There should not be any lacking or shortage of same kind of product in the outlet. 9. They should introduce the new model of the product as soon it gets old in competition with others, the more they reflects new product the more they will lead the competition. 10. The location is good of Transcom so they can increase more outlets in different areas so that they can handle more customers in Bangladesh.
5.3 Conclusions
Consumers around the world vary greatly in age, income, education level and tastes. Understanding how these differences affect consumer buyer behavior is one of the biggest challenges marketers face. Consumer buyer behavior is influenced by four key sets of buyer characteristics: cultural, social, personal and psychological. This study investigates in how far different relationship conditions influence the development of customer loyalty. At the end of the report, I can say that there are lots of reasons for Transcom to be in the leading position keeping aside the problems, the problems can be solved. The company has been running its business
with good reputation and will be running in future with great pride.
To conclude I must say that Transcom Electronic has immense potential in Bangladesh. It is evident that Transcom Electronics will be maintaining its growth by implementing innovative strategies in the coming years as it is demanded by the highly competitive business environment.
