• We see that connectivity is
given the most importance
followed by the service as
these are the two main
parameters that corporates
look for.
• Price and brand name do
not play a vital role in this
case.
• Companies are ready to pay
a good price and prefer any
brand if they get a good
connectivity and proper
service.

18. ANALYSIS 2
• We see that Tulip has not
been able to satisfy even
50% of their clients.
• The reason being that it
concentrates on its bigger
clients who helps Tulip to
generate huge amount of
revenues rather than
focussing on the smaller
ones as well.

• The satisfied clients believe
that they prefer Tulip over
other companies just
because of the global
connectivity and the great
service that it provides.

those big companies which
help Tulip generate more

to satisfy them in each and
every way.

23. CONCLUSIONS
From the work that we had been assigned, it can be
concluded that in a telecom market it is the Service and
Connectivity that matters the most.
The demand for security and high speed bandwidth will
only increase and thus the market will continue to grow
at a fast pace. With a wide reach Tulip is well placed to
benefit from this growth.
Tulip should constantly implement new strategies with
respect to CRM to sustain in the market as well as to
challenge the degrees of rivalry existing in the market.
23
25. RECOMMENDATIONS
• Appointing a few coordinators, who will coordinate the
sales team and manage corporate relationships.
• Having a separate collection department.
• Starting the SMS service to update clients.
• Monthly collection of feedbacks from its existing clients.
• Giving equal importance to both the bigger and the
smaller clients.
25
26. LIMITATIONS
• Limited time to interact
with the customers.
• Information collected
may be biased.
• Information collected
may not be accurate.
• Many clients hesitated to
give away any response.
• Time and resource
constraints.
