- 12. Findings Company product NIMBOOZ is very popular in HALDWANI. PEPSI is providing more schemes to the retailer as compare to Coco-cola. Competition with coco-cola and local juice counters. Untimely distribution of product in few routes. Coco-cola has provided on an average bigger visi-cooler to retailer as compare to the Pepsi. Coco-cola visi-coolers are more pure as compare to Pepsi visi-cooler. Found some dead or useless cooler of company. Found so many outlets which want company’s double door visi-cooler and deep fridge. Found so many outlets which do not have company visi-cooler but there name are also in the list. There is communication gap in distribution channel so the retailers were not getting advantage of discounting and trade scheme. Distributor salesmen are not well trained. Shortage of manpower in Haldwani.
- 13. Suggestions Company should ensure its product availability in the market and on self by accurately demand forecasting. Because product availability builds brand and store loyalty, which increase RIM selling. Company should maintain close relationship with the retailers by improved downward communication. This can be done by visiting outlets regularly by company C.E. Company C.E must visit different route on weekly basis and take proper feedback from the retailers and solve their service related problem. The sales executive should try to avoid making false commitment for realizing short term goals. Shortage of manpower in Haldwani. Haldwani is big market and company has only one Executive which is not sufficient. Company should keep at least two Executives in Haldwani or make an RSPM in this area. Company should take quick action to solve retailer’s services related problems like visi-cooler complain .Because in this competitive world if we don’t take care of our customer quickly someone else will.
- 14. Company should ensure that the distributor’s salesmen are providing regular schemes to the retailer when it is there by surprise checks or visits. Company should provide proper and regular training to the distributor salesman at least twice in a year because they are the one who are representing the company in this market. Company should provide some incentive as motivation to the distributor salesman on the following basis: Sales volume: whose sales volume is more? Number of new account open: Those who open more new accounts. Visi- cooler purity and charging: salesman whose route visi-cooler were more pure and charge with company product. Company can outsource two – three employees during season time in Haldwani to ensure the visibility of company product. In order to motivate retailer to keep company visi-cooler pure. Company can provide some motivation like gifts, discount or schemes to retailer keeping pure visi-cooler this can be done on monthly basis.
- 15. Conclusions Pepsi has more number of visi-cooler in the market. Most of the retailers were selling both Pepsi and Coco-cola product. There are certain gaps in company sales and distribution in Haldwani which are as follows: Company product availability is average. Relationship of salesman with the retailers was very formal instead of close relationship. No merchandising by salesman in outlets. Untimely distribution of product in certain routes like Rampur Road. Lack of communication between company and retailers. Services of cooler maintenance staff are not satisfactory. There is good opportunity for the company to introduce Tele-selling and Pre-selling in Haldwani. Coco-cola visi-coolers are more pure as compare to Pepsi or any other company. Because they have more manpower as compare to Pepsi.
