Introduction

B2B is short for “business to business.” It indicates sales made to other businesses, rather than

sales to individuals. The latter is referred to as “business to consumer” sales. The process by

which businesses employ a multi-layered strategy consisting of web communications, email,

media campaigns, and relationship management for the purpose of converting targeted

business prospects into customers.

B2B sales often take the form of one company selling supplies or components to another.

Wholesalers often sell their products to retailers, who then turn around and sell them to

consumers. Supermarkets are a classic example: they buy food from wholesalers and then sell

it at a slightly higher price to individuals.

Business-to-business sales can also include services. Attorneys who take cases for business

clients, accountant firms that help companies do their taxes, and technical consultants who set

up networks and email are all examples of B2B service providers.The Indian retail brokerage

market is showing phenomenal growth. Though the Indian trading industry has been

consolidating over the past years, the share of top brokers has risen. In this fragmented

market, leading players like ICICI Direct, Kotak Mahindra, Anand Rathi, Sharekhan,

Indiabulls apart from many small players, compete on the basis of low brokerage fees and

customer service.

The major growth drivers for the brokerage houses in terms of revenue and trading volume

are as follows:

i. Continuous fall in brokerage fees.

ii. Adoption of technology- Screen based trading, electronic matching and paperless

securities.

iii. Centralized operations, effective risk management and control on large interconnected

operations scanning multiple locations.

iv. Increasing access to capital and the ability to provide margin finance.

The evolution of exchanges in India in the last few years has led to a big change in

functioning of brokerage companies. Brokerage for both retail and institutional customers

now works in very different ways as compared with the status years ago. Brokerage today is a

keenly competitive industry which can scale up to nationwide operations is a high technology

driven activity and brokerage companies face considerable risks through bankruptcy on the

part of their customers.

Page 5: Priyanka Tiwari SIP Report Dr. J Sharma

Recent Trends

i. Brokers are downsizing and cutting costs to remain profitable in the new

screen based environment.

ii. Brokers have much less loyalty to one particular exchange.

iii. Large players are getting direct access to the futures markets therefore have

less need for brokers.

iv. There is increasing interest by brokers in harnessing their clearing services to

generate profits from this sector.

v. Micro brokers are growing. This has been through either a large brokerage

service organization providing all administrative services for a number of

smaller brokers or having a small broker buy a complete brokerage facility

through internet and using this service to offer futures trading products.

vi. Futures exchange and stock exchange are merging due to growing competition

and need to get overhead competition costs down.

vii. The old structures of member, membership organization and exchanges are

disappearing. The center of a market is no longer the exchange but the

multitude of dealing screens of brokers and end user‟s dealing rooms.

Objective of the Study

The main objective of this internship was to sell RapidRupee software in Nagpur. As I got in

to B2B sales I was required to build my own pipeline of targets and customers and sell the

machines. There were various other aspects I worked on. I had to identify the scope and future

potential on theRapidRupee. During my internship I also had to tell my mentor the main

reasons which were stopping people from accepting this so there were various barriers I had

to identify and think of ways to overcome them and increase the sales of the Software.

I also had to analyze the Indian retail brokerage industry, taking into account the capital

markets and the intensity of competition among the brokerage houses.

Rupeeseed, being a new entrant in the brokerage industry, is struggling hard to make its mark

in the industry. Although the company is providing various products and services to its

clients, however the company, with the reference of this report, can improve upon its services

which would enable it to compete with the existing as well as well established firms in the

industry.

The Indian brokerage industry is driven by many factors such as decreasing brokerage

charges,more personalized services to the clients, use of technological advances. Since the

brokerage industry is a complete service based industry, hence the report will enable the

company to attract more customers as well as improve their service to attract more

prospective clients in the future.

Brief description of the concepts / models introduced in the study

Investment

The money you earn is partly spent and the rest saved for meeting future expenses. Instead of

keeping the savings idle you may like to use savings in order to get return on it in the future.

This is called Investment.

Why invest?

One needs to invest to: earn return on your idle resources

generate a specified sum of money for a specific goal in life

make a provision for an uncertain future

One of the important reasons why one needs to invest wisely is to meet the cost of Inflation.

Inflation is the rate at which the cost of living increases.The cost of living is simply what it costs

to buy the goods and services you need to live. Inflation causes money to lose value because it

will not buy the same amount of a good or a service in the future as it does now or did in the past.

Interest

When we borrow money, we are expected to pay for using it – this is known as Interest. Interest

is an amount charged to the borrower for the privilege of using the lender‟s money.

Various options available for investment

Physical assets like real estate, gold/jewellery, commodities etc.

Financial assets such as fixed deposits with banks, small saving instruments with post

offices, insurance/provident/pension fund etc. or securities market related instruments like

shares, bonds,debentures etc.

Stock Exchange

The Securities Contract (Regulation) Act, 1956 [SCRA] defines „Stock Exchange‟ as anybody of

individuals, whether incorporated or not, constituted for the purpose of assisting, regulating or

controlling the business of buying, selling or dealing in securities. Stock exchange could be a

regional stock exchange whose area of operation/jurisdiction is specified at the time of its

recognition or national exchanges, which are permitted to have nationwide trading since

inception. NSE was incorporated as a national stock exchange.

‘Equity’/Share

Total equity capital of a company is divided into equal units of small denominations, each called

a share. The holders of such shares are members of the company and have voting rights.

Page 7: Priyanka Tiwari SIP Report Dr. J Sharma

7

Derivative

Derivative is a product whose value is derived from the value of one or more basic variables,

called underlying. The underlying asset can be equity, index, foreign exchange (forex),

commodity or any other asset.

Index

An Index shows how a specified portfolio of share prices are moving in order to give an

indication of market trends. It is a basket of securities and the average price movement of the

basket of securities indicates the index movement, whether upwards or downwards.

Depository

A depository is like a bank wherein the deposits are securities (viz. shares, debentures, bonds,

government securities, units etc.) in electronic form.

Dematerialization

Dematerialization is the process by which physical certificates of an investor are converted to an

equivalent number of securities in electronic form and credited to the investor‟s account with his

Depository Participant (DP).

Securities

The definition of „Securities‟ as per the Securities Contracts Regulation Act (SCRA), 1956,

includes instruments such as shares, bonds, scrips, stocks or other marketable securities of

similar nature in or of any incorporate company or body corporate, government securities,

derivatives of securities, units of collective investment scheme, interest and rights in securities,

security receipt or any other instruments so declared by the Central Government.

Which are the securities one can invest in?

Shares

Government Securities

Derivative products

Units of Mutual Funds etc., are some of the securities investors in the securities market

can invest in.

Why does Securities Market need Regulators?

The absence of conditions of perfect competition in the securities market makes the role of the

Regulator extremely important. The regulator ensures that the market participants behave in a

desired manner so that securities market continues to be a major source of finance for

corporate and government and the interest of investors are protected.

Page 8: Priyanka Tiwari SIP Report Dr. J Sharma

Who regulates the Securities Market?

The responsibility for regulating the securities market is shared by Department of Economic

Affairs (DEA), Department of Company Affairs (DCA), Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and

Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).

SEBI and Its role

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) is the regulatory authority in India

established under Section 3 of SEBI Act, 1992. SEBI Act,1992 provides for establishment of

Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) with statutory powers for:

(a) protecting the interests of investors in securities

(b) promoting the development of the securities market

(c) regulating the securities market. Its regulatory jurisdiction extends over corporates in the

issuance of capital and transfer of securities, in addition to all intermediaries and persons

associated with securities market.

SEBI has been obligated to perform the aforesaid functions by such measures as it

thinks fit. In particular, it has powers for:

Regulating the business in stock exchanges and any other securities markets

Registering and regulating the working of stock brokers, sub–brokers etc.

Promoting and regulating self-regulatory organizations

Prohibiting fraudulent and unfair trade practices

Calling for information from, undertaking inspection, conducting inquiries and audits

of the stock exchanges, intermediaries, self –regulatory organizations, mutual funds

and other persons associated with the securities market.

Primary Market

A market that issues new securities on an exchange. Companies, governments and other

groups obtain financing through debt or equity based securities. Primary markets are

facilitated by underwriting groups, which consist of investment banks that will set a beginning

price range for a given security and then oversee its sale directly to investors.

Secondary Markets

A market where investors purchase securities or assets from other investors, rather than from

issuing companies themselves. The national exchanges - such as the New York Stock

Exchange and the NASDAQ are secondary markets.

Futures

A financial contract obligating the buyer to purchase an asset (or the seller to sell an asset),

such as a physical commodity or a financial instrument, at a predetermined future date and

price. Futures contracts detail the quality and quantity of the underlying asset; they are

standardized to facilitate trading on a futures exchange. Some futures contracts may call for

physical delivery of the asset, while others are settled in cash. The futures markets are

characterized by the ability to use very high leverage relative to stock markets.

Page 9: Priyanka Tiwari SIP Report Dr. J Sharma

Options

A financial derivative that represents a contract sold by one party (option writer) to another

party (option holder). The contract offers the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to buy

(call) or sell (put) a security or other financial asset at an agreed-upon price (the strike price)

during a certain period of time or on a specific date (exercise date).

Face Value of a share/debenture

The nominal or stated amount (in Rs.) assigned to a security by the issuer.For shares, it is the

original cost of the stock shown on the certificate; for bonds, it is the amount paid to the

holder at maturity. Also known as par value or simply par. For an equity share, the face value

is usually a very small amount (Rs. 5, Rs. 10) and does not have much bearing on the price of

the share, which may quote higher in the market, at Rs. 100 or Rs. 1000 or any other price.

For a debt security, face value is the amount repaid to the investor when the bond matures.

Premium and Discount in a Security Market

Securities are generally issued in denominations of 5, 10 or 100. This is known as the Face

Value or Par Value of the security as discussed earlier. When a security is sold above its face

value, it is said to be issued at a Premium and if it is sold at less than its face value, then it is

said to be issued at a Discount.

Making Franchisee

Franchisee is the party in a franchising agreement that is purchasing the right to use a

business's trademarks, associated brands and other proprietary knowledge in order to open a

branch. In addition to paying an annual franchising fee to the underlying company, the

franchisee must also pay a portion of its profits to the franchisor. In a simple term franchisee

are channel partners or sub-brokers. They are one of the key intermediaries which reach out

to investors and advice them on investments. Franchisees are also known as authorized

person. A franchisee can be an individual, Sole proprietorship firm, partnership firm or a

company registered under the companies act. If a franchisee is already registered with some

other broker then on that name a new franchisee account cannot be taken. In such scenarios

ask the franchisee to take sub broker-ship in the name of a family member or partnership

firms.

Types of Franchisees:

Most of the franchisees are traders who trade based on news and information and advice their

clients also to trade. The more the trade, the more the brokerage hence revenue.

Some franchisee act as financial advisors and they do portfolio management for clients. They

diversify the client‟s portfolio and invest across various asset classes.

Some franchisees are big clients who do their own trading and trading for their own group

(family and friends).

There exists a different type of franchisee called master-franchisee. They earn their revenue

by bringing in more franchisees under their network. The sharing for master-franchisee is

different. They are paid not more than30%of the share of commission which the broker earns

from the franchisee under the master-franchisee.

Methodology

Prospecting

Searching for prospects and leads prospecting is an essential part of a sales cycle it is a

separate form of activity and should be focused upon to produce a quality list of

potential buyers to enable to start the sales process. It helps in achieving long term

success in sales. I spent a lot of time in prospecting. My mentor had given me different

regions in Nagpur, which I had to visit. I kept 2 days a week for cold calling my

prospects.

I used various methods to prospect for new clients.

Cold calling via telephone-My mentor assigned me specific regions on a daily basis.

We were targeting sub brokers.

Door to door cold calling –this technique implies calling face-to-face for the first time

without an appointment at Offices. In essence cold calling is the art of approaching

someone, professionally, openly and meaningfully, with a sensible proposition. I went

directly to companies without any prior appointment at times. A lot of times I couldn‟t

get through the sub brokers on the phone because of which I had to go meet them and

the other times we walked in straight and spoke to them. If the meeting went right they

would agree to meet me again. This helped me in building stronger relationships.

Asking for referrals – Sub-brokers, who were interested in buying Rapid Rupee,

would recommend this to their sub broker friends. Some strong leads were generated

through these referrals.

The prospecting method used was quiet simple. A study suggests that you have 18

seconds to capture someone‟s attention and an additional 100 seconds to convince them

why they should continue a conversation or schedule a follow-up call or meeting. I was

trained by Rupeeseed manager about the software and my mentor explained me a few

questions the customers generally ask. So when I met a prospect I would give them a brief

company introduction and then tell them about why they should shift to RapidRupee and

explain them the features of the same. I used various mediums to contact them and keep in

touch mostly it included via telephone, email and visiting them personally.

Page 16: Priyanka Tiwari SIP Report Dr. J Sharma

16

Targeting

Deciding how to allocate their time between prospects and customers.

As we had broadly decided on Sub brokers , our target market was really clear. I

started with targeting all big sub brokers but I soon realized that they had already

purchased other softwares and are unwilling to change. This gave me an idea of

another target customers I could approach these being the new sub brokers coming up.

Communicating

Communicating information about the company‟s product and services.

The various mediums used by me helped in staying in touch with my potential target

throughout. I was meeting potential customers on a daily basis. I used to call the

targets that showed interest in the software on a regular basis to remind them about our

product. To make them understand our product in the best possible way we used to

demonstrate the working of the software in front of them and make a demo account for

them which was free of cost and active for seven days so that they can themselves

access it and check for themselves.

Selling

There are various steps involved in a successful selling process. Such as approaching,

presenting, answering questions, overcoming objections and closing sales through out

the internship this step was of at most importance. This software is a bit expensive so

clients were a little apprehensive of purchasing it. My selling approach was

methodological. My mentor helped me with this. I used to first approach the respective

clients and then there was product presentation. Product presentation basically meant

explaining the product its features, benefits and needs. The prospects always had a lot

of questions about its working process and the technology involved in it. I had to be

very thorough with my knowledge of the same. There were always a lot of

negotiations on the final price of the Software.

Conclusion

The SIP done by me at Rupeeseed has been a great learning experience. Working as a B2B

sales person has given me an insight into the marketing of an organization.

Following are few of my observations:

While doing the sales job, many were not aware of Rupeeseed brand and its services.

Investors are showing a greater inclination towards investment in the capital markets either

individually or through mutual funds. They perceive mutual funds as less risky because of

their professional managers.

Many investors want to invest in capital markets but they don‟t have time to keep a check on

their portfolio all the time. This is where Rupeeseed can help as you don‟t have to check on it

all the time and can set buy and sell price as per your wish.

This SIP was very helpful in learning the deep insights and concepts of financial markets. The

knowledge I gathered helped me to advice my clients in a better way

Page 18: Priyanka Tiwari SIP Report Dr. J Sharma

Recommendations

Here are some important recommendations and suggestions to the organization based on the

experience gained by me. I hope organization finds it useful.

Brokerage

This is considered as one of the most important factors that drives the brokerage industry.

During meeting with the sub brokers it was realized that the brokerage rate is a little high from

few others. .Rupeeseed being a new entrant in the industry must reduce it to attract more

clients.

Promotion

This has become a very important mantra for the success of any business. Rupeeseed

has not promoted its products as other firms do because of which awareness is not

there and attracting new customers is much more difficult.

Print Media, Electronic Media etc can be easily used for the promotion purposes.

New Schemes

Though the degree of differentiation in these products is low in this industry, so

Rupeeseed can attract new customers by introducing new and innovative schemes like

targeting housewives who have a substantial amount of saving and want to spend

somewhere to get good returns. Schemes targeted to college students as well as small

shopkeepers can give Rupeeseed an edge over others.

Corporate Tie-ups

The organization can focus on more and more corporate tie-ups and employees of

those organizations can be targeted. This helps the company in building good

relationship with their employees, our organization in generating business and the

employees will get services at their doorstep without any effort.

Knowledge Workshops

Relationship managers have direct contact with the investor and it is them who

recommend them to invest in a particular way. It is very important that they should

have proper knowledge about the market, various investment options in full detail. So,

it is recommended that the company can have knowledge workshops every weekend

to build the knowledge and exposure of the relationship manager.

Page 19: Priyanka Tiwari SIP Report Dr. J Sharma

19

Limitations

Stated below are the limitations of the project taken up by me.

Time Limit

The time available for the project was just 2 months and this field is too vast. There

are so many stocks, Mutual funds, policies, real estate etc. to study and number of sub

brokers to visit in this duration which was very difficult to convert and give services in

this duration.

Fluctuations

At the time of my SIP, market was fluctuating a lot because of which sub brokers were

very apprehensive of buying this software as well as were de-motivating me for trying

to sell it.

Acceptability

The software is not easily accepted as Rupeeseed being a late entrant although better

than many other softwares, was poorly accepted because sub brokers were already

satisfied with the existing software they had.

Lack of Decision Making power

Maximum sub brokers in Nagpur area are representatives of big firms around. They

don‟t have the power of decision making for the company to change software or make

franchisee. Even though they liked the product, they recommended it to their friends

but could not buy it.

Page 20: Priyanka Tiwari SIP Report Dr. J Sharma

Scope for future improvements

In the Indian retail brokerage industry, the regulatory framework and investing guidelines

have been clearly stated by SEBI. The brokerage firms compete with each other on the basis

of few factors such as

Brokerage Charges

Technological Advances

Providing personalized services to the clients etc.

However, some other factors remain uncovered.

Greatness of Research data

Clients still have not been able to fully trust the tips given by the research

development of Rupeeseed. While interacting with them I found out that they won‟t

trust one single analytics for all the components involved. This can b improved by

giving the best in every field in a single platform.

Number of Branches in the Country

The increase in number of outlets across the country would give rise to high brand

recognition and also creation of brand equity. Since the company is a new entrant, it is

very important for the company to promote its products and services, as well as

increase its brand awareness.

Gearing towards frequent visitor

The main stress of business at the present stage is concentrating on the number of

accounts of the existing clients. However many of them may not be active. Thus more

emphasis should be laid in future on concentrating on frequent investors and also

reactivating off dead accounts lying with the office.
