Queens, in New York City, on Oct. 22, 1938. He spent years trying to sell his invention without success. Business executives and entrepreneurs didn't believe there was a market for a copier when carbon paper worked just fine. And the prototype for the copier was unwieldy and messy. Some 20 companies, IBM and General Electric among them, met his invention with what Carlson called "an enthusiastic lack of interest." The Xerox India Limited story can be divided into 1. The Start-up years (1983 - 86) 2. The Take-off Phase (1986 - 89) 3. Maturing of the Partnership (1989 - 91) 4. Evolution into The Document Company (1991 - 95) 5.

Haloid coined the word "Xerox" for the new copiers, and in 1948, the word Xerox was trademarked. Inspired by the early, modest success of its Xerox copiers, Haloid changed its name in 1958 to Haloid Xerox Inc. The company became Xerox Corporation in 1961 after wide acceptance of the Xerox 914, the first automatic office copier to use ordinary paper. September 2004 marked the 45th anniversary of the Xerox 914. More than 200,000 units were made around the world between 1959 and 1976, the year the company stopped production of the 914.

In 1963, Xerox announced its first desktop plain paper copier. Ten years later in 1973, a color copier was introduced. In 1971, Gary Stark weather a researcher tried to modify a Xerox copier which resulted in the evolution of the first laser printer in 1977. Xerox was revived in the 1980s and 1990s with better quality in design and enhanced product line. It was in the 1980s that Apple considered purchasing Xerox. However, not able to strike a deal, Apple copied the GUI idea of Xerox for its own personal computers. Xerox's case was dismissed as it had passed the three year statute limitation and was too late to file the suit. The 1990s saw a complete new look to its product line. High quality printers, scanners, etc made Xerox a market leader. In the year 2000, Xerox bought Tektronix color printing and imaging division for US$925 million. Four years later in September 2004, Xerox proudly celebrated the 45th anniversary of Xerox 914. After selling over 200,000 units across the globe from 1959 to 1976, the product was finally called off by the end of 1976. Today, Xerox 914 is a part of American History as an aircraft in Smithsonian Institution.

Suspect The sales cycle starts from a suspect. The suspect is a new door. To be sure that the new door has a suspect behind it, the salesman must go and see for himself. To convert the suspect into a prospect, the salesman requires information. The information can only be gained with the eyes and so the salesman must go and look. Most of the salesmans information will however come from asking questions of the people he meets when he calls on the suspect.
Prospect The suspect is identified as a M.A.N. and qualifies as a prospect. The business of a prospect will need the services and solutions offered by Xerox. We need to make the prospect recognize these needs and educate him on the same.
Approach The prospect is approached at this stage of SPANCO sales process. The approach is done through a business appointment that is convenient to the prospect. Even the prospect is open for a Demo of the product through which his need can be met. At the end of this step a proposal of business is submitted to the identified prospect which includes the primary quotation. Negotiation Negotiation is your opportunity to demonstrate your commitment (and your company's) to long-term relationships to maximize value for both parties (for those who sell to businesses, value is ultimately synonymous with profit). Negotiation in sales can be a formal event, at a specific time and on a specific date, or it can be an ongoing theme at different points of the sales process. Negotiation is beyond price. Negotiation includes the entire value proposition. As a sales Professional you're seeking mutually beneficial relationships with prospects and customers which means you're going to seek a true win/win solution. Practiced
15 Vishwa Vishwani Institute of Systems & Management.
and applied, negotiation skills can increase the level of trust and credibility you and your company have with your prospects and customers.
The Art of Closing: 1. Closing stage of a skillfully run and executed sales process. 2. Natural culmination of everything in sale that has preceded it. 3. Successful closing depends on a sales persons ability to effectively investigate customer needs and demonstrate the machine capability and ability to effectively seek and obtain customer commitment.
The Closing Process 1. Summarize the benefits the customer accepted during the call. 2. Formulate an action point requiring customer commitment. ExampleCustomer: This machine is perfect to our requirement. Salesperson: We have agreed that the machine we have offered offers excellent copy quality and correctly fits into your budget. Lets go and complete the paper work right now.
Order This is the final step of SPANCO sales process. In this stage the order is processed within the turnaround time assured by the company. The delivery is made during this stipulated time period and the machine is installed at the customer site for productivity. The Order stage is followed by the collection as per the agreement made during the negotiation stage

Xerox use following methods for promotion1 MRE activities 2 Road shows conduct 3 Advertisements 4 Invitations 5 Maintaining activities
Customer service-For high end Customer Company sell their equipments through channel. Xerox has appointed Authorized service provider (Tricom telecom) for any services. After sale also Tricom telecom is providing services to the customer directly. Distribution network- It is operating through tier -1 distributors i.e, Redington, Esys, Global.

Xerox is a technology and services corporation. Xerox has a strong corporate brand, which is synonymous with its products i.e. copiers, printers, fax machines which it provides a range of document equipment, software solutions and services. In addition the company provides paper services offering its customers 100% recycled paper
They develop efficient working solutions for companies worldwide, both by providing technical support and environmental initiatives helping companies to meet their environmental targets
The company has a strong environmental focus which it has developed internally into a strategy of operations focused on environmental initiatives which has saved the company hundreds of millions of dollars.
It invests heavily in Research and Development to keep up with market requirements for ever evolving products featuring both environmental and technological benefits and features
The organization has a reputation for innovation and high quality management The company has developed an internal policy of recycling copiers and other equipment i.e. toners, paper etc, which it also offers the benefits of these environmental solutions to its customers
18
Weaknesses:
The company operates in an ever changing, fast paced market dynamic which puts an increasing pressure on product development focusing on innovative feature design
As a Group they only invest 1 2 % of Research and Development budget on environmental developments on their product line, choosing to focus more on the main driver of the market which is feature advancement Opportunities:
Competitive edge could be gained in the marketplace through more focus on research and development centered on the environmental features of products, meeting higher environmental product grade
Xerox as a Group already offer support for companies to meet their environmental commitments. These could be added more as a benefits package for companies to manage their environmental stratagem. Threats:
Growing pressure on companies to become carbon neutral and have efficient and tangible environmental strategies in operation impact on every level of the supply and demand chain in every business. This in turn may lead to Xerox having to invest more in the research and development of environmentally focused products and components which may determine and provide them with greater competitive edge in attracting tomorrows customer.
Due to the economic conditions being experienced in all business sectors at the present and indeed the foreseeable future, companies and corporations are seeking to reassess, realign and streamline their operations, seeking to reduce the operating costs of their practices thus as a consequence reducing budgets across the board, this in turn may impact on the purchase of office solutions,
19 Vishwa Vishwani Institute of Systems & Management.
office equipment and technical support. This combined with environmental commitments companies may choose to reuse and recycle as opposed to renewing current products
Financial constraints due to a downturn in sales and new business may put pressure on and restrict budgets for innovation, design and development of new product features and environmental research and development which are issues and features that are becoming more important to todays corporate and retail consumer as the emphasis on all products going to market are on both its technical features and its capacity to be recycled and reused.

LITERATURE REVIEW
Doing my Internship program it was really an opportunity for me, when I had a chance to convert my theoretical knowledge into practical and of real world type. Fortunately, the company I got is a true follower of the various principles of management and also one of the leading companies in its segment of the industry. The working environment that I was being provided was extraordinary and helped me a lot in delivering my work properly and with full potency of mine. Xerox India Limited is one of the renowned names in the Office documentation solution industry. The graph of sales of these respective product lines is the best in the industry as compared to their competitors. I did my summer training project at Xerox India Limited Somajiguda Hyderabad (A.P), where I found all the professionals are very much committed to their work as well as they were all professionals enough. This helped me a lot in getting a good deal of exposure. As I had to consult the Channel partners, I felt myself, in the beginning, in a bit problem. But the Cooperation of my superiors at the work induced confidence in me to deal with my problems whenever they came.

FINDINGS
1 -: Most of the customers are not aware about the products and services offered
by Xerox India Limited. Even most of the people dont know that Xerox is the brand name, Xerox is the company, they think that Xerox means only photocopy. I met a customer he said just before some days I purchase a Xerox machine of Canon brand, that means name is Xerox but instead of it Canon machine is being sell. 2-: After survey the customers are giving priority to quality, price is not a consideration, even though they are hesitating to purchase Xerox products, is the reason behind Xerox products usage or word of mouth for Xerox is not good. Compare to HP and Canon products, Xerox products are not displayed widely in market. 3-: HP is the market leader in each of its offered printing product in market whether it printer, scanner, fax or else MFP device, excepted photocopier. 4-: Canon is market leader in photocopier segment. 5-: Customers are willing to purchase quality product. Price is not a
consideration. 6-: Now days customers are not giving that much importance to brand name. 7-: Xerox has appeared in the market like an English vocal. 8-: Existing customers of XEROX are not satisfied with service quality. 9-: customers are happy with their existing brand devices.
60
RECOMMEANDTIONS-
Market awareness- Xerox needs advertisement and promotional strategy to create awareness of its product and services. Concentrate on pricing strategy Xerox need to focus on pricing strategy because of competitors pricing strategy. Retaining to existing customers - Xerox must retain its existing customers by giving best service quality.
After sale service- Xerox after sale service is very poor, if they improve on this ground, then it will recover its market share again. the customers are switching over to other companies due to this reason only. Measuring customer satisfaction- Xerox is lagging behind in the market because of this reason. If they focus on measuring customer satisfaction, then they can again achieve its position. Complaint department- Xerox should introduce a complaint department. As it is having only servicing centers they are not responding properly as said by the customers. So they should make a point on this. New offers time to time- Xerox being a brand, never allow any discounts or offers. To make customers, or sell the products, they must introduce some offers or discount plans to increase sales graph. Attracting to new customers- Company can give attractive gifts to attract new customers.
