 PREFRACE

Without practical training, management education is meaningless so long with the theory;
practical training is provided to management students to expose them to the actual working
environment of any organization. Such training provides a framework of knowledge relating to
the concepts and practices of the assigned topics in the organization.

The summer training is an integral

part of the course curriculum of Bachelor of Business Administration (B.B.A. 5thSem). In this the
student is in the position to analyses the integral working of an organization with mature eyes
and understand the dynamics in a much better manner.

This particular project has been conducted at HDFC Bank. In the first phase of the research
project, there is an introduction of Banking, company profile and products of HDFC Bank are
given. After that a market research is performed with a sample size of 250 people. The research
study was limited to Nautanwa. Here, in my survey, I have contacted the respondents through
personal interviews with the help of questionnaires.

The main objective of the research is to know the customer relationship management level and
their perception regarding Banking Services and to know the customer awareness regarding the
Banking Services.

HDFC Bank should lay more stress on advertisements, both in print as well as in other media. Both
new and existing players will have to explore new distribution and marketing channels. Potential
buyers for most of Banks lie in the middle class. Competitors must segment the market carefully to
arrive at appropriate products and pricing. Recognizing the potential, in the past three years, the
nationalized Banks have already begun to target niches like pensions, women, children and rural
peoples.
OBJECTIVES

Though the main objective is to prepare myself in such a manner as though I can develop myself
with the practical field as well as I will be able to know the different aspect of the banking sector
and to evaluate how a bank is performing in Loans and Advance sector. In addition, the study
seeks to achieve the following objectives:

Introduction to CRM

Before we begin to examine the conceptual foundations of CRM, it will be useful to

define, what is CRM? A narrow perspective of customer relationship management is database
marketing emphasizing the promotional aspects of marketing linked to database efforts. Another
narrow, yet relevant, viewpoint is to consider CRM only as customer retention in which a variety
of after marketing tactics is used for customer bonding or staying in touch after the sale is made.
Shani and Chalasani define relationship marketing as an integrated effort to identify, maintain,
and build up a network with individuals consumers and to continuously strengthen the network
for mutual benefit of both sides, through interactive, individualized and value-added contacts
over a period of time. The core theme of all CRM and relationship marketing perspectives is its
focus on co-operative and collaborative relationships between the firm and its customers, and/or
other marketing actors.

CRM is based on the premise that, by having a better understanding of the customers
needs and desires we can keep them longer and sell more to them.

CRM (customer relationship management) is an information industry term for

methodologies, software, and usually Internet capabilities that help an enterprise manage
customer relationships in an organized way. For example, an enterprise might build a database
about its customers that described relationships in sufficient detail so that management,
salespeople, people providing service, and perhaps the customer directly could access
information, match customer needs with product plans and offerings, remind customers of
service requirements, know what other products a customer had purchased, and so forth.

The essence of the information technology revolution and, in particular, the World Wide
Web is the opportunity to build better relationships with customers than has been previously
possible in the offline world. By combining the abilities to respond directly to customer requests
and to provide the customer with a highly interactive, customized experience, companies have a
greater ability today to establish, nurture, and sustain long-term customer relationships than ever
before. The ultimate goal is to transform these relationships into greater profitability by
increasing repeat purchase rates and reducing customer acquisition costs. Indeed, this revolution
in customer relationship management or CRM.1 as it is called, has been referred to as the new
mantra of marketing.2 Companies like Siebel, E.piphany, Oracle, Broadvision, Net
Perceptions, Kana and others have filled this CRM space with products that do everything from
track customer behavior on the Web to predicting their future moves to sending direct e-mail
communications. This has created a worldwide market for CRM products and services of $34
billion in 1999 and which is forecasted by IDC to grow to $125 billion by 2004.3 The need to
better understand customer behavior and focus on those customers who can deliver long-term
profits has changed how marketers view the world.
 Traditionally, marketers have been trained to acquire customers, either new ones who
have not bought the product category before or those who are currently competitors customers.
This has required heavy doses of mass advertising and price-oriented promotions to customers
and channel members. Today, the tone of the conversation has changed from customer
acquisition to retention. This requires a different mindset and a 3 different and new set of tools. A
good thought experiment for an executive audience is to ask them how much they spend and/or
focus on acquisition versus retention activities.

While it is difficult to perfectly distinguish the two activities from each other, the answer
is usually that acquisition dominates retention.

According to one industry view, CRM consists of:

Helping an enterprise to enable its marketing departments to identify and target their best
customers, manage marketing campaigns with clear goals and objectives, and generate
quality leads for the sales team.

Assisting the organization to improve telesales, account, and sales management by

optimizing information shared by multiple employees, and streamlining existing
processes (for example, taking orders using mobile devices)

Allowing the formation of individualized relationships with customers, with the aimof
improving customer satisfaction and maximizing profits; identifying the most profitable
customers and providing them the highest level of service.

Providing employees with the information and processes necessary to know their
customers, understand their needs, and effectively build relationships between the
company, its customer base, and distribution partners.

CRM--Customer Relationship Management--has entered the mainstream. Despite the

uncertainty of the economy, CRM is being thrust into corporate budgets and talked about as a
critical initiative by hundreds of Fortune 1,000 and tens of thousands of other companies. It has
gone from being an important edge in the business world to a necessary tool for survival. The
notion of the customer as king or queen is once again the rule. How you treat this is a mission-
critical business issue.

But, what is CRM and how does it change the way companies do business? The changes
in the world have been so dynamic and so dramatic that the path is not necessarily all that
obvious. How CRM impacts that business path is a continuing source of debate in the world of
corporate management.

Managing relationships with customers has become a critical organizational competency.

Get winning strategies for acquiring and retaining customers by leveraging the latest advanced
technologies. This course will teach you how to select the right tools for your business-- so it can
grow today--and on into the future. Lagging means lost customers, which means damage to the
bottom line. But how do you not lag when customers are moving lightning fast to demand
constant changes in the speed to complete their transactions? How do you keep your customers
when the move to another company is nothing more than a mouse click and a minute away?

CRM is the answer. Customer Relationship Management, a strategy that leverages very
advanced technologies is the way to cut to the 21st Century business chase.

Definition: -

CRM is concerned with creating improved value through the use of customer centric business
processes and the development of appropriate relationships with consumers.

Implementing CRM:

CRM requires an integration of a firm's resources; people, operations and marketing

capabilities to deliver added value to the customers. CRM should provide businesses and
organizations with a single view of their customers and across irrespective of the interactive
channel or medium through which the customer accesses the service or product. For example, a
business (e.g. hotel) customers profile and personal references should be accessible to the
business (or hotel) irrespective of channel i.e. whether the customer books online, calls in or
walks into any location should not make a difference to the service provided based on the
personal profile of the business client.

It is enabled through:

Information
Processes
Technology
Applications

A firm that wants to implement CRM must align it's business processes cross-
functionally in the best possible way to allow increased customer focus with an aim to deliver
added value to the customer.

To implement CRM, the following steps must be followed:

Develop a CRM framework

Align current business processes
Design new cross-functional business processes (where required)
Develop Functional Specifications (client-side services)
Develop Technical Specifications
Match Technical Specifications to available technology (Systems, software, etc)
Product Configuration
 Data Migration and Integration
Staff Training

Customer Segmentation: For CRM to be effective, the organizations customer base must
be stratified into segments based on commonalities amongst customers. This also
requires the organization to have strategies to target consolidated customer segments.

Reduced Cost of Service: a customer relationship strategy should reduce the cost of
service for both the organization and its customers and increase satisfaction levels.

Service as a differentiator: The more competitive a market becomes the more a business
will need to rely on its superior product quality and quality of service to differentiate
itself from other businesses and providers.

Tie-ins over time: The greater the effort a customer spends on a relationship over time,
the greater the customers stake in helping to ensure that the relationship works and the
more convenient and loyal the customer becomes.
 Customer relationship management

Customer relationship management is the process and manner by which a business develops,
establishes, and maintains relationships with its customers. Businesses rise and fall through the
support of their customer bases. Consequently, it is absolutely essential that you develop
effective customer relations. On a practical level, customer relations are effectively
communicating with your customers and promptly addressing complaints and treating them as
opportunities for improvement. In other words, listen to your customers.

Key motivating drivers for the development of more innovative CRM strategies are Web
technologies and a sharpened global focus on customer loyalty.

CRM also

Provides a way to directly evaluate customer value. For example, a business that is
genuinely interested in its customers is rewarded with customer and brand loyalty.
Because CRM is mutually advantageous, market share viability advances at a sound pace.

Provides cross-selling opportunities, where, based on customer approval, a business may

pitch proven marketing or brand strategies to more than one clients.

Maintaining a loyal base involves building relationships with customers by acknowledging them.
It is difficult to attract customers, and a key aspect of customer relations is retaining a loyal base
of customers who keep coming back to the company.

The primary goal of customer relationship management systems is to integrate and automate
sales, marketing, and customer support. Therefore, these systems typically have a dashboard that
gives an overall view of the three functions on a single customer view a single page for each
customer that a company may have. The dashboard may provide client information, past sales,
previous marketing efforts, and more, summarizing all of the relationships between the customer
and the firm.

Customer Relationship Management in Banks

Customers are considered as the fundamental non-core financial asset by the banks across the
globe in the present-day scenario. Courteousness, correctness and rapidity are the imperative
factors in the efficient running of a bank. A highly satisfied customer will market for the bank
and bring in more new customers to increase the business of the banks.

The banks should adopt novel strategies and policies to decide on what to offer, whom to be
focused, when to approach, how to promote and be unique in product and service offerings to
increase their profitability. Banks need to make a difference in them by offering general products
to meet the general demands of the customers and to offer customized services for the specific
requirements of the customers. There is a revolution happening in the banking industry. The
customers are occupying the Centre stage outshining other factors. The customers are flooded
with lot of information and becoming more tech savvy. This has increased the competition
among the bankers. The competitive forces over the years are compelling the banks to
concentrate more on increasing the number of customers and in providing better service quality.
In other words CRM has become a major focus for the banks.
The banks in the present era are facing stiff competition and they are struggling to find a place in
the industry. They have realized the fact that CRM is a powerful tool to achieve success in their
business. CRM is an effective tool for the bankers to acquire new customers and to retain the
existing ones. CRM in the banking sector is of strategic importance
The present study concentrates on the various issues of CRM practices of the Public Sector, New
Private Sector, Old Private Sector and Foreign Banks.
The banks are confronting numerous problems in attracting new customers and in maintain the
existing customer base. The technology advancement has led to knowledgeable customers and as
a consequence, the customers loyalty is facing a down trend.
Two strategies are identified for increasing a banks market penetration; one is to concentrate on
acquiring new customers and the other is to maintain the existing customers. In spite of applying
the above strategies, not all the customers are retained and as a result, the organizations need to
identify those customers at risk of leaving in order to reduce defections becomes vital .
Implementation of CRM poses a greater challenge to the banks after acquiring the customers.
The various ways and means through which CRM is implemented by the banks determine the
success or failure of the entire concept.
The banks should concentrate highly on the valid elements of their CRM strategy for generating
customer satisfaction and customer loyalty. This will be possible only with the help of effective.

OUTCOMES OF INTERNSHIP
It is great experience for me for doing internship in bank here I will learn many about how bank
will and basic of banking system although my tropic was customer relationship management.
The staff of the bank are very good but they dont have enough time to tell me about their job
and how they will do. But I will observe all the activity in the bank how all the staff are doing
their job. Here I will learn how to talk with customer and how to solve their problem related to
bank and how to approach for new product to the customer and how to retained their customer if
any customer wants to closed his/her account by offering him offer related to their account. My
branch was small with seven staff .So the function of this bank is only related to opening of
account and providing loan to the customer although its facilitates many services like providing
many product like credit card and auto loan it does not provide home loan and the account will
open with minimum fifteen thousand and you have to maintain 5000 in your account in saving
account and in current account its start with 75000 thousand and you have to maintain at least
25000 in your current account .The bank will also offer de-mat account in bank and it is only the
bank in my city which offer de-mat account. They will also provide information related to offer
by telephonic communication related to offer related to loan, chequebook and credit cards etc.

I was also making call to the customer and filling saving account form and current account form
for the customer and many activities like this. I am also going for account opening, insurance and
pos machine. Pos machine is the machine at which we make instant payment to the shopkeeper
by our debit card and credit card. My town is small town and very backward area people in this
area does not have knowledge about credit card and pos machine so it is tough to sell all these
kinds of product related to bank. The image of this bank is also very high people think that this
bank is only for high class family because the opening of account in this bank start with fifteen
thousand. People will think if you open in this bank it is necessary to save 5000 in your saving
account and if you dont do they will charge for that.

CONSTRANTS/CHALLENGES

A. Identified/observed in the organization for internee

Most of the tasks are done by man power, whether they still use online process to
complete those tasks so sometimes I get bored due to too much handwriting like
as desk pass of office documents.
Banks dont have any guideline book for customers about their products so I have
to talk too much with the customers for giving information about their products.
The bank personnel were very busy with their activities, sometimes they failed to
co-operate me to complete this report.
Here is reason for disappointing me because sometimes officers dont co-operate
well with the uneducated account holder rather than the educated account holder.
Here I think that the customer is a customer and I promise to give better service
than whether he is educated or not.
Due to low configuration of PCs posting and other procedures sometimes take too
much time and for this lengthy processing time sometimes customers get angry
and I face the situation.
In this bank space are small so I have no specific space for doing my work.
 Sometime bank staff so pressurize by the senior staff that they do unethical work
like doing of RD, life insurance without his/her permission.

Recommendations
Many Web sites also make recommendations to customers. Customers may find these useful, be
ambivalent, or find them a waste of time and space. Why? Because, to state the obvious again,
the better we know our customers, the more we can directly address their needs. And sometimes
we don't know them as well as we think we do.

So we can make recommendations on what we know we know, and find out what we don't know,
before making recommendations. For example, we do know what a customer has done on our
Web site (well, we should). If we base our recommendations on a good dose of Web site
behavior, then we might have a better chance of being useful. Also, if we ask customers to select
the things that they find important, or identify with, before we start making recommendations,
we will also have a better chance of being useful.

In general, if customers' needs are not well understood, it is better to provide customers with
adequate, quality information and leave it up to them to make their own decisions, rather than
take the liberty of second-guessing their needs.
 CONCLUSION
The main objective of the report has been to assess the current state of the CRM development within
Indian credit institutions and to evaluate its organizational impacts.

The study has identified issues that need to be assessed if CRM is to be used more productively to take
advantage of new opportunities.

STEPS THAT BANKERS CAN FOLLOW TO BULID UP LONG-TERM RELATIONSHIP WITH

THEIR CUSTOMERS:

IMPORTANT DATES TRACK ALARM

CRM should be viewed neither as a new competitive tool nor as a cluster of technologies, but rather as a
set of business processes that help manage client credit institutions relationships and improve internal
credit institutions workflow. CRM in fact, is a process that helps to maximize medium to long term profits
as a result of a better customer knowledge, customized treatment of customers or a perception of it, and
improved fulfillment of customer needs. These goals can be better reached by adoption of enabling ICTs.
Ideally, an effective CRM project needs to be very well integrated in the credit institution organization.

Implementing a CRM process means gathering flows of information concerning actual and potential
customers. Information flows coming from delivery channels should ideally be consolidated into a
customer database in order to develop customer profiles that enable banks to improve customer services
CRM based on ICT can strengthen the marketing strategy of the financial organization by making more
effective the management of all the information concerning customers.

The exploitation of CRM appears to have a positive impact on the quality and quantity of information
conveyed to customers. This is particularly relevant for the most sophisticated customers, i.e. those who
are used to dealing with new technological tools and are not afraid of interacting with the bank through
the telematics channels. Nevertheless, distant interaction is not as effective as personal interaction
between customers and their bank. Therefore, according to almost all of the bank representatives, e-
business supports low value information needs, while more sophisticated requests for information can be
addressed only through personal interaction between the bank and the customer that usually takes place at
the branch.

Almost all the credit institutions have adopted the strategy of launching their e-business services as an
additional service rather than as an alternative to offline services. The impact of e-business in banks is
being limited by their strategic decision not to cannibalize their branches. This research highlights how
some of the credit institutions which had originally invested only in the development of a virtual channel
had to drastically re-define their customers or by opening a call centre. The credit institutions
representatives argued that their customers want a choice of channels and they are adopting a multi-
channel strategy. Most of the banks consider that since Internet and telephone are most useful for
managing operational and low value added tasks, the traditional delivery structure still has a fundamental
role and can be developed to specialize in high added value tasks and consultancy services.

Most financial suppliers believe that customer support services are a core business in the financial
industry. Most of the financial organizations choose to internalize the customer support contact center,
whereas others choose to outsource front-office customer care tasks to contact center companies. But the
final elaboration of data on customers and their exploitation for CRM strategy is maintained in house and
involves the bank management personnel.

The customer retention is the result of an increasing degree of product personalization and differentiation.
Credit institutions apparently prefer to compete on quality (product information, broader range of product
and services) rather than on price (meant as product acquisition cost to the customer: price, mode of
payment, delivery). Therefore, product innovation (cross-selling, product differentiation and
personalization) seems to be the crucial issue of the CRM strategy.

Financial institutions have to realize the importance of the technology scalability as well as the
reengineering of the business processes.

A medium to long term CRM strategy requires significant innovation in the organization of the banks
flow of information.

Ideally, CRM technologies and processes could make the slogan the right customer with the right
product at right place and in the right moment possible.
But many banks face the problem of having multiple database with customer information, so that multiple
entries refer to the same customer if he/she holds more than one product with the company. This makes it
difficult for sales people or relationship managers to have a full view of their customers. A number of
CRM deployments have failed because of inconsistent customer data. This problem results in companies
sending, for example, the same offer twice to the same customer.

Hence CRM is a vital tool for financial institution to prosper.
