EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
If the development capital is what establishes a business, sales & development
management is what keeps it going. One of the most common problem of every business is
the selection of wrong channels and wrong strategy. What is important is not just the size of
operating costs, but the management function of managing sales & distribution i.e.,
increasing sales volume & the flow of regular customers by selecting the most
complimentary channel. Thus sales & distribution management is of prime importance.
The project is small attempt to study the sales & distribution management in Gentech
India Pvt. Ltd. Added to this fact that mechanization level in India is currently very low as
compared to the world standards.
This project report is based on financial data up to 2009-11only.

INTRODUCTION
Sales refer to the exchange of goods or services for an amount of money or its equivalent in
kind. Selling helps an organization to achieve its business goals. Thus, managing sales in an
organization is an important activity. A sales manager needs to ensure that the salespeople are
motivated continuously so that the organization is able to attain its goals the way it wants.
The sales team or the sales manager must monitor the continuous changes taking place in the
external environment regarding competitors, customers, government and other regulatory
agencies, advances in technology, and industry trends. This provides the sales personnel with
vital information regarding trends in organizational sales, product development, and budgets.By offering the management vital inputs pertaining to such information, the sales team helps
the management to develop plans regarding sales, production, and design according to the
situation. Over the years, substantial changes have taken place in the selling environment,
leading to changes in the sales function.
The trends that have shaped the sales function include shorter product life cycles, longer and
more complex sales cycles, reduced customer loyalty, intense competition among
manufacturing firms, rising customer expectations, increasing buyer expertise, electronic
revolution in communications, and the entry of women into the sales force.
The third element in marketing mix is to find out appropriate ways through which goods are
to be made available to the markets. It is a management function and a decision in the matter
is required to be taken before the commercial production is undertaken. The entire function of
getting goods into the hands of the consumer is often referred to as distribution.
Importance of Sales Management
Importance of sales management is vital for any commercial organization. Expanding
business is not possible without increasing sales volumes, and the goal of an effective sales
management is to organize sales team work in such a way that ensures a growing flow of
regular customers and increasing amount of sales.

DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS
A Channel of Distribution (sometimes called a marketing channel) is a group of individuals
and organisations that direct the flow of products from producers to customers.
In its broadest sense this function includes transportation as well as the middlemen who
handle the goods and help to transfer title to the goods. The term channel of distribution is
used to denote the middlemen engaged in moving goods form place of production to the used
to denote the middlemen engaged in moving goods form place of production to the place of
consumption. This is risky. This is in fact is a 'channel' through which goods are made to
move as smoothly as possible to the desired places. In other words, the route through which
goods move from the place of production to the place of consumption is termed as 'channel
of distribution'.
Channels of distribution are the means employed by manufacturers and sellers to get their
products to market and into the hands of users. Channels are management tools used to move
goods form production to consumption, they are means by which title to goods is transferred
from sellers to buyers. The process of transferring title is not so simple especially in present
day markets that are characterized by heterogeneity on both the demand and the supply sides.
This means that there is a wide variety of goods produced for sale, while on the other side,
there are highly varied and complex desires of consumers.
In addition to having a strong sales function companies should also minimise their Selling &
Distribution Overheads as these can be minimised, companies should also have efficient
distribution channels to make the products available to the end consumer. Management of
distribution channels involves efficient channel design, conflict management and
implementation of sophisticated channel information systems which will enhance the process
of making the products available to the end consumer in a timely manner.
Thus, Sales and Distribution Managementprovides an overview of the sales and distribution
function. It discusses various aspects of the sales function ranging from various sales
organization structures to the role of the sales manager in improving sales by hiring, training,
motivating and leading the sales force. It also provides the distribution function and discusses
logistics and channel management.

IMPORTANCE OF DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL
As we know that a channel of distribution is a group of individuals and organisations that
direct the flow of products from producers to customers. A channel of distribution performs a
no of functions:
Transfer of title of the goods involved Physical movement from the point of production to the point of consumption Storage functions Communication of information concerning the availability, characteristics and price of
the goods in transit, inventory and on purchase
Marketing creates various utilities to the products. Most of these utilities are, in fact,created by performing the functions of physical distribution promptly and efficiently.
The importance of these functions varies depending upon the nature of the goods themselves.
Thus, the company or organization must find a correct distribution channel for its product. It
is always said that an organization must find a right product for its customer instead of
finding a right customer for its product.

COMPARISON OF GENTECH WITH MAJOR
PLAYERS
Power Backup
Overview
Indias thrust on achieving higher economic growth rate has intensified construction
activities all across the country. This has also created huge demand for power supply.
According to some market research, there is a demand-supply gap of about 17% in power
generation. This has thrown open huge market opportunities for the power backup
providing companies. The power backup market in India is growing at an annual rate of 15-
20%, varying within the three different segments generators, UPS and inverters.
Industry Structure
The Generator Industry has large number of players especially in the lower range. The
estimated size of the market is Rs. 1,100 crores. The generator industry of India is
heterogeneous in nature. Major players like Kirloskar Oil Engines Ltd (KOEL), Mahindra-
Powerol, Cummins India, Greaves Cotton, Ashok Leyland, Eicher, Caterpillar, MTU and few
other imported brands are seeing huge market potential to grow in India. Indias power
market is growing faster than most other countries. With an installed generation capacity of
147 GW, generation of more than 600 billion kWh, and a transmission and distribution
network of more than 6.3 million circuit kms, India is now the fifth largest power market in
the world. The per capita electricity consumption in the country is around 665 units which is
envisaged to increase to 1,000 units by 2011-12, good opportunity will continue to exist in
power sector in India due to growing gap between demand and supply. The demand for
power is typically driven by sectors such as Telecom, Commercial construction, IT, ITES,
Retail, etc. KOEL is into manufacturing air cooled and liquid engines/ diesel Gensets with
power output covering from 5kVA to 625kVA and 1800kVA to 6300 kVA. The domestic
Genset market (inclusive of Telecom sector) is about two lakh per annum in the range from
10kVA to 2000kVA. According to industry estimates, the DG set market in India (15-2000
kVA range) was estimated at Rs 60,253 million with 147,040 units in financial year 2006-07.
That is now projected to grow to Rs12,2230 million with sales of 205,450 units.

KIRLOSKAR A MARKET LEADER IN INDIA
Engines
upto 25 hp: A market leader in this segment with 36% market share.
Engines 20 to 300 hp for Construction and Material Handling. In this segment, kirloskar is
market leader with 50% market share against competition from players like Cummins,
Caterpillar, Hino, IVECO, Leyland, Perkins and Tata. We are second largest manufacturer of
engines for Agri Tractors with over 20% share of th India Tractor Market.
Power GenerationEnjoys single largest market share in the worlds largest gensets market
i.e., India. Kirloskars market share in the 15 to 250 kVA segment is 40%. Exceeds world
players like Cummins, FG Wilson, Leyland, Perkins, and IVECO by an impressive margin.
Engine Bearings Kirloskar is the Single largest player in engine bearings with share
exceeding 38%.
Kirloskar engines are known for lower operating cost, higher reliability and longer life. We
manufacture engines that are not only emission complaint and eco-friendly, but are also
manufactured in an environment friendly way. KOEL engines and diesel generator sets are
certified for the stringent noise and exhaust emission norms made mandatory by Central
Pollution Control Board.
KOEL is a major player in India with about 27% market share. We foresee our market
share to grow up to 35% in next couple of years. Diversifying into the power generation
sector, Mahindra & Mahindra, another player to have its strong presence, had launched its
Mahindra Powerol brand in the Indian market in 2001. The company realised huge potentialin the segment and decided to start manufacturing and supplying complete DG sets under
the new brand. This has helped them to grow their business to Rs1010 crore in 2009 from its
earlier revenue of Rs51 crore in 2005. The company manufactures engines which can power
Diesel generating sets ranging from 5kVA to 320kVA.
In Telecom segment KOEL have 42% market share whereas it holds 21% market share in
retail segment. In volume term, KOEL had sold 52,000 DG sets in financial year 2008-09.
Besides Telecom, DG sets are also powering customers from a diverse cross-section of
8/3/2019 Final Project Ready
23/31
23
industries such as banks, building & construction, public sector units, hospitals, hotels,
homes and manufacturing units.
Mahindra had also launched B100 bio diesel generator sets for the Indian market. Mahindra
Powerol engines and diesel generator sets are certified for the stringent noise and exhaust
emission norms made mandatory by the Central Pollution Control Board, India.
The unorganized sector remains a challenge to the branded players owing to the lack of
consumer awareness. The Indian genset segment is divided mainly into two sectors
Organized and Unorganized sector. India has a huge presence of unorganized manufacturers
across the genset, inverter, and UPS product segments. These players primarily compete on
price by providing cheaper alternatives to branded products. Organized manufacturers are
therefore under pressure to maintain or reduce their prices to effectively compete also
consumer knowledge and selection criteria for power backup products is poor.
In India the major leader in genset industry are Kirloskar 40%, BPSL (Birla Power Solutions
Limited) 32%, Cummins India 20% and Others 8%.

In market research study, the collection of correct data and other relevant materials are
required but the data collection depends upon the researcher and the respondents to that
data. Although every effort has been made to collect the relevant information through the
sources available, still some relevant information could not be gathered.
Non-cooperative respondents: The concerned executives were having very busyschedule because of which they were unwilling to give appointment. Some times
it happens that even after taking appointment they refuse to meet due to work
overload, lack of time or any other reasons.
Unawareness: Executives were unaware of many terms related to study whileasking to them. In some cases it was observed that after asking questions to
concerned person wrong answer to the question was given.
E.g.maintenance manager does not know KVA rating at the diesel generator
and the year of purchase.
Time: The time duration could not provide sufficient opportunity to study everydetail of Sales and Distribution management of the company.
Confidential Information: As the company on account of confidential report hasnot disclosed some figures. Moreover, in some cases separate accounts of division
are not separately maintained thereby, leading to restrictions in study.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Automatic diesel generators have lesser market share as compared to manual dieselgenerators. One major reason responsible for this is approximately 10% higher cost of
automatic diesel generators with respect to manual diesel generators. But if the
customers are made aware of the advantage of automatic diesel generator that it can
help them work uninterrupted even for a single minute, then surely the automatic
diesel generators will gain an edge over their manual counterparts in terms of market
share.
Gentech & Kirloskar is lagging in more than 100 KVA rating diesel generators. So ithas to focus on this segment. While Cummins, caterpillar & greaves have to focus on
less than 100 KVA rating diesel generator sets, as they are weaker in this segment.
If you have to achieve good market share only quality of product is not enough, youhave to give good service to your customer.
There is enough scope for customer relationship management and customer retention.This can be done by keeping customer data bank, routine follow up on dates of
renewal, dos and donts to be included as a regular feature and by providing
customer education. This will lead to customer satisfaction and customer loyaltytowards company.
There is a good growth of industries in this region and due to scarcity of electricitythere is a good scope for the diesel generator manufacturing companies. But due to
continue increase in diesel prices, the generator cost with diesel generator is Rs 11-13
per KW. Manufacturers need to address the cost issue by exploring alternate source
like Natural gas/Biogas/Biodiesel/Propane etc.
