1.Introduction

Relationship with customers has existed since the advent of trade and business. Companies that need customers in order to build a profit need to have a system in place that effectively and successfully manages the customer/client relationship. Client profiling and Client Relationship Management has become a strategic initiative in most companies today. Client profiling and Client relationship management enables an organization’s capability to manage and nurture its one to one relationship with its customers. In order to generate clients and to maintain good relations with them organizations are realizing the importance of client profiling and client relationship management. Moreover companies are more attentive for relationship building due to growing competition to attract customers.

1.1 Scope of the project

Client profiling involves identifying the customer, gathering information about the customer and finally providing him/her with a product or service which is need driven. The information could relate to age, gender, occupation, income, status, lifestyle, savings etc. After the process of client profiling comes client relationship management. This includes Promoting a client-oriented product/service providing successful client support , handling client complaints, building a long term relationship.

Client Relationship Management systems are also important to the top management because it provides crucial data like customer satisfaction and efficiency of service by the frontline crews. Customer Profiler helps organization find new customers for the business. It will extract people and/or businesses that match the profile of the current customers. This will provide with a list of prospective customers

[Type the document title] [Year]

As the economy is growing, the demands and expectations of the customers are also growing at a much faster rate, so the need is to concentrate on the needs and requirements of the various customers and accordingly deliver superior product or service qualities which fulfills the customer’s expectations, it is the customer service levels that really matters and this is where customer relationship management (CRM) plays an important role. CRM is a strategy that is desired to develop a stronger relationship with customers, especially the most profitable ones.

1.2 Objective of the project

The aim of the project is also to identify future scope of Client Profiling and Customer Relationship Management (CRM), the project also includes studying various CRM methods and techniques which a particular company adopts to attract the new customers and retain the existing customers. For example-use of technology, use of software’s for building CRM and to have a firm relation with the custom. Objective includes:

to understand the need of the corporate clients for the company To identify the optimal customers To analyze the buying patterns and behavior and gain a greater

understanding of consumer motivations. To analyze the factors that affect the customers relationship with

organization To recommend the company the ways for maintaining long term

relationship with the clients

1.3 Scope of the study

By applying profiling techniques, an organization can fully exploit data about customers buying patterns and behavior and gain a greater understanding of consumer motivations. Customer Profiling helps to dramatically increase response rates of marketing campaigns by micro targeting the right customer with the right product. Businesses today are using profiling to reduce fraud, to anticipate demand, to increase new customer acquisition and customer

loyalty. Customer profiling is also used to develop lifelong relationships with Customers by anticipating and fulfilling their needs. Consumers appreciate a personal touch and something they can act on. When the message matches the need, the conversion rates for sales can skyrocket.

1.4 Limitations

Primary data collecting was time consuming The sample size selected will be limited to draw any strong

conclusion Bias on the part of the respondent will be a major drawback. The response of prospects was slow due to financial year ending. Due to recession and slow moving market many prospective clients

are hesitating in investing.

1.5 Data collecting methods

The data is collected through primary methods as well as secondary methods

2. Economy Analysis

The economy of India is as diverse as it is large, with a number of major sectors including manufacturing industries, agriculture, textiles and handicrafts, and services. Agriculture is a major component of the Indian economy, as over 66% of the Indian population earns its livelihood from this area. In Purchasing Power Parity GDP, the figure for India was 1.5 trillion US Dollars in 2008. The per capita income of India is 4,542 US Dollars in the context of Purchasing Power Parity. This is primarily due to the 1.1 billion population of India, the second largest in the world after China. In nominal terms, the figure comes down to 1,089 US Dollars, based on 2007 figures. According to the World Bank, India is classed as a low-income economy. Ranked by the exchange rate of the United States Dollar, the Indian economy is the twelfth largest in the world.

12

Page 13: Edelweiss Project

[Type the document title] [Year]

Agriculture sector lifted India’s economic growth to 9% in 2007-08 from the earlier projection of 8.7%. This will be the third year in a row, when the Indian economy grew at the rate of 9% and above. In 2005-06, the economy grew at 9.4% followed by 9.6% in 2006-07. It is now projected that economy will grow at a possible rate of 7% in 2008-09

In 2007-08, India attracted an investment of 37.5% of GDP— up by around 9.3 percentage point from the investment figure of 28.2% in 2003-04. With the improved productivity and rising investment, India can continue to grow at around 9% if all goes well.

India has been one of the best performers in the world economy in recent years, but rapidly rising inflation and the complexities of running the world’s biggest democracy are proving challenging.

India’s economy has been one of the stars of global economics in recent years, growing 9.2% in 2007 and 9.6% in 2006. Growth had been supported by markets reforms, huge inflows of FDI, rising foreign exchange reserves, both an IT and real estate boom, and a flourishing capital market.

Like most of the world, however, India is facing testing economic times in 2008. The Reserve Bank of India had set an inflation target of 4%, but by the middle of the year it was running at 11%, the highest level seen for a decade. The rising costs of oil, food and the resources needed for India’s construction boom are all playing a part.

India has to compete ever harder in the energy market place in particular and has not been as adept at securing new fossil fuel sources as the Chinese. The Indian Government is looking at alternatives, and has signed a wide-ranging nuclear treaty with the US, in part to gain access to nuclear power plant technology that can reduce its oil thirst. This has proved contentious though, leading to leftist members of the ruling coalition pulling out of the government.

As part of the fight against inflation a tighter monetary policy is expected, but this will help slow the growth of the Indian economy still further, as domestic

13

Page 14: Edelweiss Project

[Type the document title] [Year]

demand will be dampened. External demand is also slowing, further adding to the downside risks.

The Indian stock market has fallen more than 40% in six months from its January 2008 high. $6b of foreign funds has flowed out of the country in that period, reacting both to slowing economic growth and perceptions that the market was over-valued.

2.1 Change in the outlook

It is not all doom and gloom, however. A growing number of investors feel that the market may now be undervalued and are seeing this as a buying opportunity. If their optimism about the long term health of the Indian economy is correct, then this will be a needed correction rather than a downtrend.

The Indian government certainly hopes that is the case. It views investment in the creaking infrastructure of the country as being a key requirement, and has ear-marked 23.8 trillion rupees, approximately $559 billion, for infrastructure upgrades during the 11th five year plan. It expects to fund 70% of project costs, with the other 30% being supplied by the private sector. Ports, airports, roads and railways are all seen as vital for the Indian Economy and have been targeted for investment.

Further hope comes from the confidence of India’s home bred companies. As well as taking over the domestic reins, where they now account for most of the economic activity, they are also increasingly expanding abroad. India has contributed more new members to the Forbes Global 2000 than any other country in the last four years.

2.2 Recent Growth Trends in Indian Economy

India’s Economy has grown by more than 9% for three years running, and has seen a decade of 7%+ growth. This has reduced poverty by 10%, but with 60% of India’s 1.1 billion population living off agriculture and with droughts and floods increasing, poverty alleviation is still a major challenge.

14

Page 15: Edelweiss Project

[Type the document title] [Year]

The structural transformation that has been adopted by the national government in recent times has reduced growth constraints and contributed greatly to the overall growth and prosperity of the country. However there are still major issues around federal vs state bureaucracy, corruption and tariffs that require addressing. India’s public debt is 58% of GDP according to the CIA World Fact book, and this represents another challenge.

During this period of stable growth, the performance of the Indian service sector has been particularly significant. The growth rate of the service sector was 11.18% in 2007 and now contributes 53% of GDP. The industrial sector grew 10.63% in the same period and is now 29% of GDP. Agriculture is 17% of the Indian economy.

Growth in the manufacturing sector has also complemented the country’s excellent growth momentum. The growth rate of the manufacturing sector rose steadily from 8.98% in 2005, to 12% in 2006. The storage and communication sector also registered a significant growth rate of 16.64% in the same year.

Additional factors that have contributed to this robust environment are sustained in investment and high savings rates. As far as the percentage of gross capital formation in GDP is concerned, there has been a significant rise from 22.8% in the fiscal year 2001, to 35.9% in the fiscal year 2006. Further, the gross rate of savings as a proportion to GDP registered solid growth from 23.5% to 34.8% for the same period.

2.3 India Economy: Effects of the US Financial Crisis in India

It is often said that when the US sneezes the rest of the world catches a cold. This three-part series looks at how India, China, and Russia have been affected by the US financial crisis. Before we get into detail about how much this US problem is spreading globally, we should understand the severity of it and the possible consequences in the US. How sick is the US?

15

Page 16: Edelweiss Project

[Type the document title] [Year]

Some have compared the situation in the US with the Great Depression of 1929, but this situation is far from a depression – in fact it’s not even a recession. In the Great Depression there was no work and there was widespread poverty. People struggled through the winter with no heating and no food. We are not seeing such extensive suffering in the US.

In the US, August 2008 unemployment figures were at 6.1%, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. In the Great Depression unemployment was higher than 25%. The Commerce Department reported that GDP growth was at 2.8%, hardly indicative of a recession, although this was revised down from the 3.3% figure it projected a month ago.

But one cannot ignore yesterday’s 777 point drop in the Dow Jones Industrial Average after the $700 billion bailout plan failed to pass through Congress. These paper losses of more than a trillion dollars may be the sneeze that disrupts global markets.

Even before this controversial rescue plan was shot down, Indian markets took a dive of their own on Monday 29 September. The stock market sank to an 18-month low and the rupee a 5-year low. The stock market dropped 5.3% to 12,595.75.

According to Business Standard, vice-president of Karvy Stock broking Ambareesh Baliga, said, “We are advising our clients to stay away from trading till selling by Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) stops. Also, there is no support to the markets from any domestic institution. While markets are below their fundamental levels, fear has gripped investors and there is panic selling.”

While US investors and consumers are concerned about who will foot the bill for this $700 billion plan, to Indian and non-US markets that doesn’t matter. They just want it to happen so as to restore confidence and of course liquidity.

Sify.com reported Jagannadham Thunuguntla, head of the Delhi-based SMC Group saying, "The first major point of nervousness is that the US bailout plan will now be in three tranches of $250 billion, then $100 billion and

16

Page 17: Edelweiss Project

[Type the document title] [Year]

finally $350 billion and the second and third tranches will require further Congressional approval. This means effectively, only $250 billion is now available for buying troubled assets of banks instead of $700 billion outright. This doesn't really solve the problem of liquidity."

The 2007-2008 Indian Economic Survey has projected inflation to be just above 4% for 2008. However the rapid rise in food, oil and other commodities prices pushed inflation above 11% by July 2008. But with the global slowdown affecting the global demand and simultaneous downfall in oil prices has caused inflation to fall drastically. From the high of 13%, it fell down to 0.18% for the week ended 16th April2009. India’s inflation rate continued its southward journey after a short break and edged down to 0.48 percent for the week ended May 2.

However, in 2008-09, due to uncertainties in the global economy, the downward risks were much higher than in the previous year.

3. Industry AnalysisAnalysis of Indian Financial Sector reveals that it is at present going through a phase of stable growth rate which is experiencing a upward swing. The rise can be maintained over a long period by keeping the inflation down. The financial sector in India has experienced a growth rate of 8.5% per annum. The rise in the growth rate suggests the growth of the economy. The financial policies and the monetary policies are able to sustain a stable growth rate. The reforms pertaining to the monetary policies and the macroeconomic policies over the last few years have influenced the Indian economy to the core.

With sustained deregulatory measures, exposure to international financial markets and the introduction of new products and services, the Indian financial sector is charting an impressive growth path.

According to global research data from Macquarie, India is the most preferred stock market in terms of portfolio allocation owing to current lucrative valuations and the government fiscal measures taken to boost liquidity in the economy.

The market is also expected to undergo a structural transformation with organised players increasing their market share. As a measure to ease the

18

Page 19: Edelweiss Project

[Type the document title] [Year]

present liquidity situation and boost market volumes, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) will be allowing cross-margining norms to all the participants in the market.

In a previous move in May 2008, SEBI had permitted institutional investors to avail this facility. According to SEBI, "In order to improve the efficiency of the use of the margin capital by market participants, it has now been decided to revise the existing facility of cross-margining and to extend it across cash and derivatives segments to all categories of market participants."

In a recent move, the government has permitted liquidity support for non-banking finance companies (NBFCs) through a subsidiary of state-run lender Industrial Development Bank of India (IDBI). The liquidity support would be worth approx. US$ 3.94 billion–US$ 4.93 billion and can be utilised by the NBFCs only to repay active liabilities. The measure is expected to look after the liquidity needs of the NBFCs for around the first six months of 2009.

According to a MasterCard survey, Mumbai leads the pack of strategically important commercial centre in emerging nations, ahead of Shanghai and Kuala Lumpur.

"In terms of financial services environment, Mumbai ranks one among all 65 cities covered by the index. It received the top score in the dimension of banking services and currency exchange regulations, and ranked highly on the volume of financial services traded," said the report. In all, eight cities from India found a place in the list.

Furthermore, foreign pension funds are bullish on India, with over 40 such funds (endowments and university and family foundations) getting registered with the SEBI, during the last few months. One of the reasons for this was the simplification of regulations by SEBI.

3.1 Future of Indian Financial Service Sector:

India’s financial services sector will enjoy generally strong growth during coming years, driven by rising personal incomes, corporate restructuring, financial sector liberalization and the growth of a more consumer-oriented,

credit-oriented culture. This should lead to increasing demand for financial products, including consumer loans (especially for cars and homes), as well as for insurance and pension products.

Interpretation: Y- axis represents no of persons and X-axis represents in instruments in which people invest. Respondents either preferred shares or fixed deposits. This might be because of their interest in shares and safety in fixed deposits. Lack of knowledge about mutual fund and bonds made them to stay from these instruments. Investment insurance was moderate.

Interpretation: Y- axis represents the no of respondents who use Edelweiss

services or not. X-axis represents corresponding response of “yes” or “no”.Out of 41 respondents who invests only 6 respondents uses Edelweiss services. So we can infer that penetration of Edelweiss services is very low.

7. Findings from the data

Out of the total respondents percentage of investment from females was very less in comparison to male.

Income distribution was heavily towards less than 5000 category. There were only 3 persons who earn more than 30000. This implies there were very few respondents who could invest heavily.

Savings of the respondents was not as much so that they can invest heavily. Most of the respondents saved less than 3000 per month

Most of the respondents were aware of the investment instruments available. Out of 50 respondents 41 already invested. This implies respondents were aware of the investment opportunities in market.

40

Page 41: Edelweiss Project

[Type the document title] [Year]

Among the investment options, mostly respondents preferred shares and fixed deposits. The reason being lack of knowledge about other investment instruments.

8. Conclusions

After going through all the aspects of client profiling and client relationship management, it can be inferred that client profiling and client relationship management is very much necessary to survive in the fiercely competitive market. In order to give clients the best product and maximum satisfaction, it is indispensable to do their profiling first. Customer Profiling helps in finding new customers for business. It will extract people and/or businesses that match the profile of our product. For example, we wouldn't try to sell a fur coat to an animal activist or a pack of cigarettes to a health advocate.

Therefore client profiling should be first thing to be done by Edelweiss before approaching any of the client. Customer profiling is one of the best prospecting tools. By applying profiling techniques, you can fully exploit data about customers buying patterns and behavior and gain a greater understanding of consumer motivations. Customer Profiling helps to dramatically increase response rates of your marketing campaigns by micro targeting the right customer with the right product.

I applied the concept of client profiling and I used it to profile the employees of Mphasis Tele Perphormence. Accordingly I approached them with the product that suits them best.

Client Relationship management also helped me to build long term relations with my customers. This kind of harmonious relationship will further bring new business opportunities to Edelweiss in the form of new clients. Through continuous follow up of clients I could built personal and healthy relationship with my clients.

With the economy showing signs of consolidation and recovery, it is now even more important for Edelweiss to attract new customer as the market is expected to do well in coming months. To do so it is of utmost importance for Edelweiss to use client profiling and client relationship management.

9. Recommendations

During my project I came across certain aspects about Edelweiss. These aspects are as follows:

More accessibility- Edelweiss has only one branch in Madhya Pradesh. In order to increase its reach Edelweiss needs have more no. of branches so that as much as clients can be converted into new business opportunities.

More promotional activities- Since Edelweiss has recently started its retail broking business; it needs to aggressively make itself aware to the common public. Although Edelweiss has done well in HNI sector, but to do well in retail sector it needs to do more of the promotional activities.

Customized Seminars for working persons –As per my experience with Tata Motors Finance & Shanchi Milk federation prospective clients are busy in their own job. Most of the retail clients are either employed or professionals who don’t have time to think about investment planning. Edelweiss needs to cater to their needs by arranging seminars on weekends, so that prospective clients can come and gain insight about the company and investment avenues.

Effective sales time- Since market conditions is improving its important to capture those clients who are not active due to bad financial market. For this Edelweiss needs to have more dedicated and effective sales team.
