It4s depending upon them whethe" they a"e inte"ested to do so o" not. It4s time consuming as well money consuming p"ocess. %!te" collecting these data we have to contact them and ask them to buy the p"oduct which is going to o!!e" them. -hen we have data in ou" hand it4s easy to do ou" task.

% ?esea"ch design is the a""angement o! conditions !o" collection and analysis o! in a manne" and aims to combine "elevance to the "esea"ch pu"pose with economy in p"ocedu"e. In !act the "esea"ch design is the conceptual st"uctu"e within which "esea"ch I conducted. ?esea"ch is needed because it !acilitates the smooth sailing o! the va"ious "esea"ch ope"ations the"eby making "esea"ch as e!!icient as possible yielding ma6imum in!o"mation with minimal e6penditu"e o! e!!o"t, time and money. ;ince the aim is to obtain the accu"ate in!o"mation about the custome" in te"ms o! his inte"est towa"ds investment in stock secto". I have used the techniIues o! Iuestioning custome" in o"de" to know thei" consume" behaviou", thei" inte"est ,thei" needs and etc. It is ve"y impo"tant !o" the sales e6ecutive to study the mind o! the custome" so that the pe"sonal visit would not be a waste o! time, money and e!!o"ts.

-esear&h +ethodology:?esea"ch methodology is way to systematically solve the "esea"ch p"oblem. It may be unde"stood as a science o! studying how "esea"ch is done scienti!ically. In it we study the va"ious steps that a"e gene"ally adopted by a "esea"che" in studying in "esea"ch his "esea"ch p"oblem along with logic behind him. -hy a "esea"ch study has been unde"taken, how a "esea"ch p"oblem has been de!ine in what way and why the hypothesis has been !o"mulated, what data have been collected and what pa"ticula" method has been adopted, why pa"ticula"

'.1 Su""ary of .earning /4!erien&e:-

Ma"ket: plays an impo"tant "ole in eve"ybody4s li!e di"ectly o" indi"ectly. ;omewhe"e down the line it a!!ects the li!e o! eve"yone, no matte" how insigni!icant the pe"son may be. I came to know about it only when I !aced the "eal ma"ket and inte"acted with the actual custome"s. It has been a good lea"ning e6pe"ience and the ma"ket taught a lot o! things which I neve" thought o!. he awa"eness level o! people about news pape".

he wo"king e6pe"ience at Mail oday was mi6ed. %s mentioned in p"o!ile I had to contact "aw p"ospects then making them awa"e o! my o"ganization and p"oducts. ;ometimes they we"e inte"ested sometimes they we"en4t. 3ut one thing I got at eve"y single time, and that was con!idence and the numbe" o! Iue"ies. hose Iue"ies p"epa"ed me bette" !o" the ne6t times. %s I monito"ed, the"e we"e many clients who used to "ely mo"e on the salesman "athe" than the company. -hile ma"keting the p"oduct, I also came in contact with seve"al people who wish to have some b"and name associated with thei" investment which made ou" 8ob a bit easie". $ence, it could be concluded that !utu"e o! this indust"y is b"ight and p"ope" knowledge in this pa"ticula" !ield may help one to e6plo"e new heights in his ca"ee".

'.2 Con&lusions and -e&o""endations:-

1.

he company must enhance the knowledge o! people about thei" p"oducts i.e. they should do p"ope" ma"keting o! thei" p"oducts as well as thei" b"and, 8ust like thei" competito"s a"e doing. @o" e6ample, Mid /ay, $industan imes, imes o! India Etc.

0.

he 2ompany must also inc"ease thei" pace to sp"ead thei" dist"ibution channel o! vendo".

'. (.

he company must p"ovide a wide" "ange se"vice to the custome"s. he positioning o! thei" p"oducts must be based on thei" p"oducts, "athe" than thei" custome" segmentation.
