1. INTRODUCTION
1 THE TOPIC:
1.1 OPENING SAVINGS ACCOUNTS BY MEETING
CUSTOMERS
At HDFC Bank, I was assigned with the topic as “Opening Savings Accounts by
Meeting Customers” for my project work. I joined the company as a Sales
Executive. The selection of the topic was to know how the company generates
business through them. Sales Executives are those sources of a company who have
their own relations and personal contacts among common public that they use to
generate business through. Company has certain criteria to recruit these Sales
Executives.
The steps are as follows.
1.He should be at least 12th passed.
2.He should have good personal contacts.
3.He should have convincing power.
4. He should be above 18th year old.
Once he through all these steps of recruitment, he becomes the Sales Executive of
the company and reserve the right to sale the various products to any prospect
client also he is paid the commission a certain percentage. There are some reward
and tour package also.

2. 1.2 REASON FOR SELECTION OF THIS TOPIC:
The financial sector is one of the booming and increasing sectors in India. The
Sales Executives are one of the most powerful, efficient and effective channel
through which the company sales its various types of financial products. It is really
difficult to convince customers and sell a single product but since these executives
have their own personal contacts which make the entire task easier to sell a
product. Whereas in my entire project work I found my interest in working in a
team, dealing with customers and finally convincing them to open an account with
the bank.
1.3 IMPORTANCE TO THE COMPANY:
The ultimate purpose of giving me this topic was to know about the customers
perceptions about the different products of the bank, how these products can attract
them and how the company can generate maximum profit by convincing them
through sales executives.
1.4 LEARNING FROM THE STUDY:
The process of recruitment for Sales Executives of HDFC Bank.
Different products and services provided by the bank.
Customers perception about the different products.
The brand image of the bank.
What are the problems faced by these sales executives daily basis.
How to communicate with the customers.
Different techniques of dealing with the customers.
How to convince and convert a customer into a real customer.

3. 2. COMPANY PROFILE
2.1 Banking Industry
A banking company in India has been defined in the Banking companies
Act, 1949 as one “which transacts the business of banking which means the
accepting, for the purpose of lending or investment, of deposits of money from the
public, repayable on demand or otherwise and withdrawals by cheque, draft, order
or otherwise ”Banking is an important element of economy’s Indian
banking system overt past few decades, it has played very effective role
in mobilization of savings of the economy, spreading in banking habit to the
furthest corner of the country and large entrepreneurial base. Indian banks have
multiplied their activities in volume, variety and geographical base to meet
the growing needs of the society. The old methods and techniques replaced by new
techniques of viability need based formation of finance schemes and marketing
Instead of working for profits, they are required to participate in nation building
activities and help in bringing socio economic change. Banks are new centre of
trade, commerce and business in a country. Banking plays a very i mp o r t a n t

European countries in 18 th a n d 1 9 th centuries would not have taken place
without the evolution of good banking system. Banking is life blood of modern
commerce. It is very important to study the concept of services as banks are
categorized into service sector: service as deeds, processes and performances. The
service sector of an economy is going through a period of almost revolutionary
proportion in which established ways of doing business continue to be shunted
aside.
The banking system in India constitutes the core of the financial sector. It plays a
significant role in the process of economic growth of the country. Its efficiency and
development thus are vital for the country’s economic progress.
Commercial banks are the hub of the Indian financial system. Indian
commercial banks are organized as the joint stock banks, both in the public
sector and private sector.

happens, it would be the largest merger in the private sector banking space in
India. HDFC Bank was looking for an appropriate merger opportunity that would
add scale, geography and experienced staff to its franchise. This opportunity arose
and we thought it is an attractive route to supplement HDFC Banks organic
growth. We believe that Centurion Bank of Punjab would be the right fit in terms
of culture, strategic intent and approach to business.´
Mr. Aditya Puri, Managing Director, HDFC Bank
said, ³These are exciting times for the Indian banking industry. The proposed
