Introduction
Customer satisfaction is a marketing term that measures how products or services supplied
by a company meet or surpass a customer's expectation. Customer satisfaction is important
because it provides marketing marketers and business owners with a metric that they can use to
manage and improve their businesses.
Customer satisfaction is a term frequently used in. It is a measure of how products and
services supplied by a company meet or surpass customer expectation. Customer satisfaction is
defined as "the number of customers, or percentage of total customers, whose reported
experience with a firm, its products, or its services (ratings) exceeds specified satisfaction
goals."
It is seen as a key performance indicator within business and is often part of a Balanced
Scorecard. In a competitive marketplace where businesses compete for customers, customer
satisfaction is seen as a key differentiator and increasingly has become a key element of business
strategy.
"Within organizations, customer satisfaction ratings can have powerful effects. They focus
employees on the importance of fulfilling customers' expectations. Furthermore, when these
ratings dip, they warn of problems that can affect sales and profitability.... These metrics
quantify an important dynamic. When a brand has loyal customers, it gains positive word-of-
mouth marketing, which is both free and highly effective."
8|Page
Therefore, it is essential for businesses to effectively manage customer satisfaction. To be
able do this, firms need reliable and representative measures of satisfaction.
"In researching satisfaction, firms generally ask customers whether their product or service
has met or exceeded expectations. Thus, expectations are a key factor behind satisfaction. When
customers have high expectations and the reality falls short, they will be disappointed and will
likely rate their experience as less than satisfying. For this reason, a luxury resort, for example,
might receive a lower satisfaction rating than a budget motel even though its facilities and
service would be deemed superior in 'absolute' terms."

defined attributes.

Initially project started with the intension of developing loyalty program for the channel partners
& existing customers. Later it included brand awareness and channel management in its scope as

The real estate sector is one of the most globally recognized sectors. In India, real estate is the
second largest employer after agriculture and is slated to grow at 30 per cent over the next
decade.
The Indian real estate market has become one of the most preferred destinations in the Asia
Pacific as overseas funds accounted for more than 50 per cent of all investment activity in India
in 2016, compared with just 26 per cent in 2015.
The real estate sector comprises four sub sectors - housing, retail, hospitality, and commercial.
The growth of this sector is well complemented by the growth of the corporate environment and
the demand for office space as well as urban and semi-urban accommodations.
10 | P a g e
The construction industry ranks third among the 14 major sectors in terms of direct, indirect and
induced effects in all sectors of the economy.
It is also expected that this sector will incur more non-resident Indian (NRI) investments in both
the short term and the long term. Bangalore is expected to be the most favored property
investment destination for non-resident Indian (NRI), followed by Ahmadabad, Pune/PCMC,
Chennai, Goa and Delhi.
Real estate plays a crucial role in the Indian economy. It is the second largest employer after
agriculture and is slated to grow at 30% over the next decade. It is expected to touch $180 billion
by 2020. The housing sector alone contributes to 5% -6% of the country’s GDP. Retail,
hospitality and commercial real estate are also growing significantly, providing the much-needed
infrastructure for India’s growing needs.
Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) is internationally known and acclaimed for
its progressive and sustainable approach to real estate development. The model of urbanization

4. Hospitality
5. SEZ
The real estate sector in India has come a long way by becoming one of the fastest growing
markets in the world. It is not only successfully attracting domestic real estate developers.
Real estate in India continues to be a favored destination globally for investors, developers and
non-resident Indians (NRIs), driven largely by investor-friendly government policies and increasing
globalization.
According to the report by CRISIL, the country's economic growth is major boosting for the
increased demand of real estate in India. Expected Demand for residential space is to grow at a
compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19 per cent between 2010 and 2014 - Tier 1 metropolitan
cities are expected to account for about 40 per cent of this.
The top three cities - Mumbai, the NCR and Bangalore account for 46 per cent of total demand
for office space in India.
Foreign direct investment (FDI) of up to 100 per cent is allowed with government permission for
developing townships and settlements. FDI of up to 100 per cent is also allowed in the hotel and tourism
sector through the automatic route.
28 | P a g e
The Government of India (GOI) has raised the housing loan limit to US$ 52,080 for priority
sector lending. Further, US$ 833 million has been allocated for rural housing fund (RHF) in FY13
budget.
Growing requirements of space from sectors such as education and healthcare provide opportunities in
the real estate sector. Emergence of nuclear families and growing urbanization has given rise to several
townships.
The growth of the industry is attributed mainly to a large population base, rising income level, and
rapid urbanization. The cities and towns in India are expanding and the space requirement for education,
healthcare and tourism provides opportunities in the real estate sector.
The industry in India contributes about 6.3 percent to the country's GDP. It is recognized as one
of the key sector contributing to the country's economic development. Playing an important role in the
Indian economy, as it is the second largest employer after agriculture.
Over the years demand and supply for Residential properties has been increased in both Urban as
well as Rural India. Below graph shows the shortage of residential properties in Urban and Rural areas
over the years.
29 | P a g e
The gap between demand-supply has been decreased due to huge supply by local builders as well
property developers. It has resulted in reduced shortage of residential properties.
Significant increase in real estate activity in cities like Indore, Raipur, Ahmadabad, Jaipur and
other two-tier cities; this has opened new avenues of growth for the sector. It has resulted in major real
estate players launching new projects in Tier-II cities, due to huge demand.
Increased demand in real estate sector is result of rapid urbanization, decreasing household size,
easy availability of home loans, increase in per capita income, repatriation of NRIs and HNIs etc.
In this project the company is used to generate leads form the online portals such as 99acres.com and
magicbricks.com. After generation of leads they give these leads to CRM groups or to some employees
they suppose to do cold calling, this business it totally based on cold calling. Cold calling means
understanding the customer needs according to their need we have to give detail information about the
project of various builders. After that we have to ask for their time to visit the project. If the customer
like the project than the customer has to give token amount to the builder than our half task is
done.When the customer got possession of that property than our task is complete. Our company
provides full service to the customer form booking to possession.

PCMC Area”
Introduction:
To understand the customer satisfaction level by services and facilities provided by builder in
PCMC area.
To evaluate various facilities provided by the builder and its problem areas.
To find out the scope for providing different services to the customers.
To provide contribution to the company to gain better in sight into customer’s mind.
Literature Review:
Customer satisfaction is a marketing term that measures how products or services supplied by a
company meet or surpass a customer's expectation. Customer satisfaction is important because it
provides marketers and business owners with a metric that they can use to manage and improve their
businesses.
Customer satisfaction is a term frequently used in marketing. It is a measure of how products and

31 | P a g e
The Marketing Accountability Standards Board (MASB)endorses the definitions, purposes, and
constructs of classes of measures that appear in Marketing Metrics as part of its ongoing Common
Language in Marketing Project. In a survey of nearly 200 senior marketing managers, 71 percent
responded that they found a customer satisfaction metric very useful in managing and monitoring their
businesses.
It is seen as a indicator within business and is often part of a Balanced Scorecard. Ina competitive
marketplace where businesses compete for customers, customer satisfaction is seen as a key
differentiator and increasingly has become a key element of business strategy.

Q. Why Have I Chosen This Company?
Wisteria Real Vision Pvt. Ltd. is the most trusted real estate marketing company in Pune & PCMC
Wisteria specializes in the development and implementation of marketing programs for new and
existing residential housing for prospective buyer. I have a keen interest to start my career in real estate
sector and this company is a newly established company back in Sep 10, 2010 and is growing rapidly.
Thus I believe this startup company would give me an opportunity to learn new concepts in real estate
sector.
“A Study of Customer Satisfaction with Reference to Wisteria Real Vision Pvt. Ltd. in Pune
PCMC Area”
Customer satisfaction is backbone of every business. It tells you about your strengths and
weaknesses in the services provided by the company. I chose this topic because I was interested to know
which elements affect the customer satisfaction in the real estate sector. Besides it allowed me to
enhance my analytical skills, communication skills, and also understand current market scenario.
Real estate plays a crucial role in the Indian economy. It is the second largest employer after
agriculture and is slated to grow at 30% over the next decade.
Research Framework:
Our project was divided into the following three main sub parts
33 | P a g e
Market Penetration:
Wisteria properties are an old and well-established player in the Real Estate industry. This
company has a strong hold in east and west Pune and currently we are promoting more than 20 Lacks
Sq. Ft. retail projects.
According to wisterias past experience, they believe that majority i.e. around 80 per cent of their
sale of houses/units take place through Real Estate Agents and Brokers who are in Professional terms
called as Channel Partners.
To know more about these Channel Partners and they build a good relationship with developers
as well as customer
The Interns (Management Trainees) were sent out on field to meet the clients in their respective
location and give them to all the respective information about properties and convince to them to buy
the properties.
Lead Generation:
Firstly, I get a lead about client list who want to buy properties and cheeked on Magic bricks
&99acres. After getting lead I called to customer and ask to customer about properties requirement and
according to that guide them.
After that arrange meeting with customer pitched and given all the information on all the ongoing
and upcoming project of that particular location and then side seen or presentation of that particular
project. Give them all that information of the properties. And fulfill customer requirement. Then after
3/4 days, take feedback of that client about those particular properties.
This is how leads were generated by these registered Channel Partners which in turn resulted in
sale of flats.
These Channel Partners are given 2/3 percent Brokerage if the lead they generate finalize and
book the flat/unit in any project.
34 | P a g e
Competitor Analysis:
We had to visit top upcoming or under construction projects in Pune as Mystery Clients/
Customers, find out their flat specifications such as rate per square feet, total flats available, their area
along with proper cost sheet and brochures of the site visited.
The other purpose of competitor analysis was to have a basic idea about the competitor project
planning, size, technology, quality and financial aspect and to get to know the challenges and
opportunities in the current business environment
On daily basis, the data collected above from Registration of real estate agents and brokers as
channel partners and Competitor Analysis had to be entered into ERP system. We would first enter it in
an excel sheet and send it to the team in the corporate office who would then enter it into the ERP
system.
Benefit of Study
Real estate companies have realized the importance of distribution network as being widely used
by other sectors like FMCG, Telecommunication etc. To increase the company’s distribution channel,
company has realized the importance of channel partners in increasing the brand’s reach to more
customers.
In real estate industry channel partners are one of the biggest medium of sales generation, as more
than 50% of the builder’s revenue comes from the deals converted by channel partners. Channel
partners are being paid by organization for completing a deal.
One of the biggest gaps in real estate industry is limited direct access to the customer. Opening
more offices and hiring more sales personnel will incur heavy cost to builders and might not result in
desired improvement in sales. To fill this gap, builders have to highly depend on channel partners.
Reaching out to more channel partners and educating them about Organization and its current projects
will help company in reaching out to maximum customers.
Another challenge faced by company is to establish the loyalty of the channel partner towards the
company. As equal or more commission along with other benefits is being paid by the local builders to
the channel partners. It has resulted in channel partners promoting other competitors projects due to
more personal gain for them.
35 | P a g e
Primary objective of this study is to generate awareness about the brand among its channel
partners to increase company’s distribution channel. It aims to create and implement loyalty program
for its channel partners. Benefit of this study to the company is that company will be able to increase its
distribution channel and will be able do segmentation of its channel partners, according to their
potential, area of operation and various other attributes. It will in turn help company in achieving its
target of increasing its sales three-fold.
As developers more than 50% sales comes through channel partners, its loyalty program for the
Channel partners will help company in retaining their existing Channel Partners and will also help in
attracting new channel partners. This study will provide company deep knowledge of reasons on basis
of which channel partners recommend a project to their customers.
For the past 7 years, company has adopted conservative approach in its marketing strategy as well
as in developing its distribution channel. It gave advantage to its competitors and resulted in aggressive
sales by competitors.
This study will help company in engaging with maximum clients, and educating them. Spreading
information about company’s ongoing current projects.
36 | P a g e
For the Intern
It will provide intern complete understanding of the entire life cycle of sales in real estate
industry. It will also help intern in understanding the know-how of real estate sector and how marketing
and sales is done for this particular field.
Marketing in real estate sector is different from other products, as in most of the cases live product
is not available for the customer to feel and understand it. Convincing customer to buy a particular
property depends on many factors like brand image of builder, channel partner network of builder and
many other factors.
This study will help intern in finding the gaps in marketing strategy of the wisteria properties &
also to understand the area of improvements in its complete process.
Intern will also have a chance to know the actual importance of channel partner in Real Estate, as
it is believed that they contribute towards more than 50% of total sales of the projects.
This project also helps in understanding customer behavior, with the some of the following factors
such as
Location of project
Brand perception by Customer
Brand perception by channel partner
Price of project by developer,
Vastu integrated in flats
Profile of people living in the property
Proximity to important places (such as station, airport, beach, relatives, office etc.)
Amenities (such gym, swimming pool etc.) that contribute towards buying a property and
closure of a deal.
Convincing power of channel partner
Importance of show flat
Status of project(ongoing/complete/incomplete)
37 | P a g e
Lock in period of property
The intern would have a huge scope of learning the core marketing strategy being implemented
by the company to improve its channel distribution and customer base to improve its sales.
The channel partnership can be a great way for the Real estate agents to build a professional
relationship and think of long-term gains. If the Channel partners promote and market the projects of
our company, not only will they develop trust from their customers but also get repeat customers.
This will help the Channel partners in generating Leads for all the projects of the company. They
can enjoy the flexible business terms with the company and reap the benefits. They can play an active
role in generating new business opportunities.
This can in-turn helps the company to extend its footprint to new geographies.
The Channel partners will get access to the world-class projects of the company in various cities
and they can build on their revenue from the commissions.
Company can expect a significant increase in Marketing and Promotional activities for its
projects and can achieve its sales targets quickly
Channel partners have good knowledge of the local markets and can easily sell properties as
compared to an outstation person.
Channel partners have a database of customers and have more information about customers who
normally buy into high-end properties so that they can approach them if a high-end property is set for
launch in another city from a company of high repute and brand value.
There are a few establishments who have a separate team of Marketing & Sales, a separate set of
38 | P a g e
members for tele-calling, advertising team and a full-fledged office with many employees. They carry
out all the required processed to convert the Leads to actual sales.
Marketing Strategy:
The real estate developers keep on aligning its marketing strategy to lure customers, channel
partners etc.
Company is creating TOMA (top of the mind awareness) in customers and Channel partners
mind, by reaching out to maximum possible channel partners and customers with company details.
Aggressive reach out plan will help in increasing distribution channel of company.
The Methodology is differently followed for all segments and is illustrated as below
Customers:
Firstly, a survey is conducted among the existing booked customer through wisteria with Loyalty
Benefit Questionnaire. These data are feed into the customer relationship management system. This
helps us to understand the customer better and accordingly the loyalty programs would be developed
according to the preference of the customers based on the analysis of the survey.
Some of the most common techniques or loyalty programs which are being used to reach
customers are:
20:80 Schemes:
With sales drying up, developers are attempting to lure homebuyers through the lucrative 20:80
home loan scheme.
It involves the buyer having to just pay just 20% of the total amount up front, and put
in the remaining 80% after getting possession.
39 | P a g e
Waiver:
Instead of 2/3 BHK flats now to lure potential flat owners by building 1 BHK flats.
Small flats are which most of the middle class can afford.
Free Gifts:

Learning From This Project
I have come to realized that real estate distribution network is as big as sectors like FMCG,
Telecommunication etc. Distribution Channel plays an important role in increasing brand's reach
to more customers. One of the biggest gaps in real estate industry is limited direct access to the
customers. To fill this gap, builders have to highly depend on channel partners.
Customer Satisfaction is the backbone of real estate business. I choose this topic because i
was interested to know which elements affect the customer satisfaction in the real estate sector.
Besides, it allowed me to enhance my analytical skill to understand daily market scenario. This
project helped to measure how product or services supplied by company meet or surpass a
customer's expectation.
In the current scenario increased demand in real estate is result of rapid urbanisation, decreasing
households size, easy availability of home loans, increase in per capita income, repatriation of
NRIs and HNIs etc.

SUGGESTIONS
62 | P a g e
Suggestions
Though people are satisfied there is large scope for various service providers to improve services
in different areas. Builders need to take initiatives to improve and provide numerous facilities in
multi-storey apartments. Due to increase in population, area gets congested and large number of
service are needed by the people and if all service are available to them at their doorstep they are
will be more than happy which will ultimately benefit the developer:

Conclusion
From the study, it can be concluded that the satisfaction of customer towards facilities and
services provided by builders in PCMC area to residents are satisfactory. Although, there is a
scope of improvement which has been detailed in the suggestion’s section.
Investment in house is a one time and a huge investment; the real estate sector should realize that
they are in an important profession which happens to be a big part of the consumer’s life
experience. The experience to given has to be delightful so the word of mouth publicity is more.
