INTRODUCTION
A dealer is a business who buys products and services not for consumption but for resale and
commercial purpose. As such, dealers play a vital role in the economic system of a nation.
Without dealers demand, producers would lack one of the key motivations to produce: how they
can get to the end consumer. The dealers are the forms part of the chain of distribution.
Dealer satisfaction is a term frequently used in marketing. It is a measure of how products and
services supplied by a company meet or surpass dealers expectation.
It helps in understanding:
In the market, the roofing business largely depends on the company’s promotion and the
satisfaction given to the end consumer satisfaction. Consumer Satisfaction is of utmost
importance in today’s fiercely competitive scenario. A company seeking to win in today’s
market must keep a track on their consumer’s expectations and wants and work in that direction
to ensure consumer satisfaction. If a consumer wants a particular product the dealers have to
store that product in their store.
Consumer is the key person who can affect the movement of a particular brand of courier
service. Thus the marketer needs to have thoroughinformation regarding the consumer’s
satisfaction on different factors.

5.1. TITTLE OF THE STUDY:
Dealer Satisfaction is the decision processes and acts of people/prospective dealer involved in
buying and using services. If any Company seeks to win in today’s market, they must keep a
track on their prospective dealers and their needs and strive to understand their expectations from
a product or service offering and simultaneously perceive to improve the company’s
performance and ensure dealers satisfaction. Therefore, the need has been felt to study this topic
in order to keep pace with the changing tastes and wants of the consumers as this are better
known by the dealers in order to be able to provide them with customized service in order to
satisfy their wants in a more effective and efficient way.
The research design for the study is descriptive in nature. Descriptive research is used to
describe the characteristics of a population or phenomenon being studied. It doesn’t answer

characteristics used to describe the situation or population is usually some kind of categorical
scheme also known as descriptive categories.
Descriptive research cannot describe what caused a situation. Thus, descriptive research cannot
be used to as the basis of casual relationship, where one variable affects another. It is used for
frequencies, average and other statistical calculations.

The main purpose of this project has been to study the dealers satisfaction regarding our
company products and services as well as the products.
To complete the project, both favorable and unfavorable responses from the respondents have
been received. The need was identified in the form of findings and suitable suggestions have

cater that they have to build a good relationship with the dealers to increase the business.

company, margin given to the dealers and various other factors also play an equally important
