SUGGESTIONS AND CONCLUSION
6.1 SUGGESTIONS:
• Company should launch special and innovative postpaid
schemes for students.
• Representative should avoid forced misselling & misbehave
with customers.
• Should have proper track on transaction of all customer
• Should improve service provided by the company to customer
6.2 CONCLUSIONS
The telecom industry is facing great competition; during SIP I came to
realize how to market the postpaid services to different customers
working in government sector, banking sector and various
companies. I also got the training how strategic level of management
responds to the strategies of other companies, how to interact with
strangers, how to promote our product by listening their complaints.
From this SIP I get the knowledge that those who are working
somewhere prefers to get connection of Idea because they provide
best network amongst others. Large customer base belongs to
private companies and the connections are provided by the
organizations. According to my survey maximum customers are
satisfied with the network system provided, call rates, postpaid
services. Maximum customer prefers cash payment and very few
prefer cheque and credit card payment and customers are not aware
about ECS (Electronic Clearing Service). Even though there are some
problems in Idea postpaid service like customers facing problem to
convert prepaid number to postpaid number, some customer faces
problem for activation. Those who are using ISD service facing
problem.
