implement.
• To follow the prospects at that particular date and note down their remarks after that we
called them to the dealership and then explained about our product if customer is satisfied
then we do retail process after that delivery.
As we met many farmers in customer meet activity we supposed to take the follow
up of the existing records. I got the work from the sales officer that to meet the hot
prospects from the nearby areas and take their reviews and inform them about executive
series. I met with many farmers during field visit in Nashik taluka, I found that there were
many farmers who willing to buy rotary tiller for interculture operation. There were many
farmers who wanted to exchange their old one. I met them personally and told them about
the benefits of the Executive series.
I also the follow up customer who buy new tractor. After follow up of prospect the
hot prospects who want to purchase a implement were informed to come for final deal of
implement. After deal implement was delivered to the customer. Before delivering a
implement all the necessary process for warranty was completed.
PDI stands for pre delivery inspection of implement. PDI is taken place at
distributor and dealer level. In this inspection all the implement is inspected under various
parameters to avoid future damage or failure of implement. During training I had carried
out PDI of implement in showroom stock with the help of salesman and mechanic.
