INTRODUCTION
1.1 What is a Sales Strategy?
A product or service must be promoted to the target market in addition to being sold. It is
crucial to clearly position the product to appeal to more customers; this process is known as
sales strategy.
The goal of the strategy is to assure that customers will purchase the product by carefully
developing and implementing rules, practices, and procedures. The company's financial
success is its ultimate goal. Each business's sales strategy takes into account its target market,
client profile, go-to-market positioning, sales methods, and distribution networks.
Keys to Developing a Sales Strategy
The purpose of a company's sales strategy is to market and sell a good or service to potential and
qualified customers. It should explain why a product is superior to its rivals and serve as
guidance for the sales staff at the same time. The following details must to be included in an
efficient sales strategy:
i. Specific and measurable organizational goals.
ii. Detailed customer profile and product offering that can answer to the
customers’ problems.
iii. Plan on how to increase product awareness and generate market
demand.
iv. Sales activities, presentation, and challenges.
v. Procedure on tracking the performance of sales individuals and sales
Team.
vi. Sales process timeline.
8. 2
1.1 Sales Strategy Examples
There are no hard and fast rules when it comes to sales strategy. A company’s strategy
must have some flexibility, depending on the company’s objectives, needs, and
environment. The following are some sales strategies which have been proven to be
effective:
• Position a product based on how it can solve the customers’ problems. Showcase
what is in it for the customers before going right into the price, package, and
promotional offers.
• Target a small market niche. It will help a company focus and specialize in a
particular product that can answer consumer needs.
• Be flexible and adapt to changes when new demands from customers come up. As
problem-solvers, the company’s sales team must open the door of possibilities for
customers to gain their trust.
• Give undivided attention to customers and listen to what they have to say. The
customers are the most important people who make the companies run and live.
Thus, customers must get the most special treatment they can have to ensure that
they will remain loyal to a brand.
• Use storytelling to communicate with prospective buyers. It is easier for people to
retain information through entertaining communication, rather than hard facts
alone.
1.2 Sales Strategies for Conversion
Companies aim not only to retain their existing customers but to get new ones. So how do
sales strategies influence customers of competitors to convert in buying their products
instead? Sales processes, sales plays and the management of sales pipelines detail the
strategies and tactics used for conversion. Effective sales coaching can also make
individual and sales teams sell better. However, here are some of the general approaches
business may undertake to get new customers:
9. 3
• Know and be aware when a prospective client is “interested” in the product.
• Keep the “interest” of prospective customers by engaging them through tailored
marketing that nurtures prospects.
• Explore different sales growth strategies until the appropriate one is found.
Videos, emails, demos, free offers, personal meetings, and appointments can be
used by a company to reach new markets.
• Monitor the prospective customers and observe how they behave as consumers.
1.3 Distribution strategies
Prior to designing a distribution system, the planner needs to determine what the
distribution channel is to achieve in broad terms. The overall approach todistributing
products or services depends on a few factors including the type of product, especially
perishability; the market served; the geographic scope of operations and the firm's overall
mission and vision. The process of setting out a broad statement of the aims and
objectives of a distribution channel is a strategic level decision.
1.4 Strategically, there are three approaches to distribution:
• Mass distribution (also known as an intensive distribution): When products are
destined for a mass market, the marketer will seek out intermediaries that appeal
to a broad market base. For example, snack foods and drinks are sold via a wide
variety of outlets including supermarkets, convenience stores, vending machines,
cafeterias and others. The choice of distribution outlet is skewed towards those
that can deliver mass markets in a cost-efficient manner.
• Selective distribution: A manufacturer may choose to restrict the number of
outlets handling a product. For example, a manufacturer of premium electrical
goods may choose to deal with department stores and independent outlets that can
provide added value service level required to support the product. Dr Scholl
orthopedic sandals, for example, only sell their product through pharmacies
because this type of intermediary supports the desired therapeutic positioning of
the product. Some of the prestige brands of cosmetics and skincare, such as Estee
Lauder, Curlicue and Clinique, insist that sales staff are trained to use the product
range. The manufacturer will only allow trained clinicians to sell their products.
10. 4
• Exclusive distribution: In an exclusive distribution approach, a manufacturer
chooses to deal with one intermediary or one type of intermediary. The advantage
of an exclusive approach is that the manufacturer retains greater control over the
distribution process. In exclusive arrangements, the distributor is expected to work
closely with the manufacturer and add value to the product through service level,
after sales care or client support services. Another definition of exclusive
arrangement is an agreement between a supplier and a retailer granting the retailer
exclusive rights within a specific geographic area to carry the supplier's product.
1.5.1 Retailer
Conventional retailers are supermarkets, malls, and outlet stores. However, convenience
and user experience have made online retail and hybrids more accepted and popular.
1.5.2 Wholesaler
Retailers get products from wholesalers; wholesalers buy the products in bulk at lower
prices. A wholesaler stores products and delivers them to retailers.
1.5.3 Distributor
A distributor performs the same functions as wholesalers, plus a bit more. Distributors are
expected to help companies, manufacturers, and producers sell products.
1.6 Strategic models
Marketing participants often employ strategic models and tools to analyze marketing
decisions. When beginning a strategic analysis, the 3Cs can be employed to get a broad
understanding of the strategic environment. An Ansoff Matrix is also often used to convey an
organization's strategic positioning of their marketing mix. The 4Ps can then be utilized to
form a marketing plan to pursue defined strategy.

with your audience through video. It’s also a great place where you can attract new
customers, and drive traffic to your website.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Choosing a marketing channel is one of the most significant decisions that management
must make today. In fact, if one examines the four main marketing mix strategies
(product, price, promotion, and distribution), distribution has the greatest potential to gain
a competitive edge right now (Obasi, 2011). One of the four components of the marketing
complex, distribution is a crucial component of all marketing choices, including those
pertaining to how to get products to consumers. Numerous marketing experts (Berman,
1999; Kim, 1996; Delton, 1997; Frazier, 1999; Kotler, 2003; Rosenbloom, 1999; Stern,
2006, etc.) have examined the distribution challenges, placing a significant emphasis on
the development of the marketing channel design techniques (Gudonaviciene &
Alazocine, 2008).
Distribution remains an untapped area for competitive success, particularly if great care is
used to create and manage top-notch marketing channel systems that deliver top-notch
customer service. However, creating creative distribution strategies, operating channel
systems effectively, and establishing the best marketing channel systems to increase sales
are not easy tasks. (Obaji, 2011) The very first formal ideas of marketing channels were
centered on the roles played by a distribution system, as well as the associated usefulness
of both these roles and the system as a whole. They are reflected in industrial and
transitional architecture.
In economics, the group of interconnected businesses involved in the process of making a
good or service available for use or consumption came to be known as marketing
channels (Coughlin, Anderson, Stern, & El-Ansary, 2001).
Institutional in nature
25. 19
The participants of the distribution system who are involved in the delivery of goods and
services from the point of conception to the point of consumption are highlighted by
perspective, including wholesalers, distributors, retailers, etc (Anderson & Coughlan,
2002). Such institutions are managed through marketing channel management, which
entails the organizing, coordinating, directing, and controlling activities of channel
participants (Gundlach et al, 2006).
The concept of distribution generally refers to the locations and methods through which
goods and services will be made available for purchase, as well as the logistical and other
supports required for the transfer of goods and services to clients (Stern et al, 2006). In
order to satisfy the desired consumer, a successful marketing channel makes sure that the
desired product is disseminated in the desired volume to the chosen channel (Kotler &
Keller, 2009).
The defining problem is one of the initial issues that arises when the topic of integrated
distribution is explored. There is no one "model" distribution system that can fit all
commercial firms. Similar to other company roles, the distribution function must be
created within the confines of the management philosophy and resources that each
organization has to provide. In the 1960s, three distinct or distinguishable methods of
integrated distribution management have arisen. Management of physical distribution,
management of supplies, and logistics for businesses. (La Lunde, Graber, and Robeson
(1993).
Research devoted to channel management has played an important role in the marketing
discipline for over 40 years. Two main areas of channels research in marketing have
evolved. First, how channels are organized or structured has been a focal point, centering
26. 20
on the level of channel integration, reliance on multiple channels, distribution intensity
and organizational policies relating to centralization, formalization, standardization, and
surveillance (cf. Dwyer & Oh, 1988; John & Weitz, 1988; Fein & Anderson, 1997;
Sherwani, Frazier & Talegalla, 2007). Second, how ongoing channel relationships are
coordinated in a behavioral sense has been even more prominent, dealing with methods
of channel governance, including the impact of contracts, the development and
application of interfirm power, communication approaches, levels of control and conflict,
and the attainment of trust and commitment (cf. Frazier, 1983; Anderson & Weitz,
1992; Boyle, Dwyer, Robichaud and Simpson, 1992; Morgan and Hunt, 1994;
Kumar, Sheer and Steenkamp, 1995; Lusch and Brown, 1996).
2.1 Development of Channel Structure
A channel of distribution can be defined as the collection of organization units, either
internal or external to the manufacturer, which performs the functions involved in
product marketing. These functions are persuasive and include buying, selling,
transporting, storing, grading, financing, market risk bearing and providing marketing
information. A channel member is an individual organization unit institution or agency
that performs one or more of the marketing functions and by doing so has an active role
in the channel of distribution (Lambert, 1978).
The marketing channels literature has given considerable attention to the study of channel
structure. Early researchers discussed channel structure in terms of the functions
performed by channel members (Millen, 1973). The basic idea was that these functions
could be allocated in different mixes among the various channel members depending on
27. 21
the characteristics of the channel. As structure research evolved, several common
elements emerged, which were seen as varying across different channels, including: the
number of channel levels (i.e., number of intermediaries involved), the intensity at the
various levels (the number of intermediaries at each level of distribution), and the types
of intermediaries at each level (i.e., retailers, wholesalers, distributors) (Rosenbloom B.,
1987). Thus, channel structure was essentially treated at a micro level, rather than
examining the more macro issues such as: how firms decide who will perform what
activities, the costs and trade-offs involved in using various channel strategies, and
various extraneous factors affecting channel relations.
Starting from the 70’s, tremendous strides have been made in the understanding of how
firms should organize and manage their channels of distribution. Still, the researchers
have barely touched the surface of all the managerial issues that have been addressed.
Furthermore, many issues of managerial importance relating to the organization and
management of channels of distribution have received no attention in empirical research
(Frazier, 1999).
More recent research in channel structure examines both macro and micro issues. Most of
the current research on channel structure focuses on one of two broad operationalizations
of structure: transactional form or bureaucratic form. Though it could be argued that the
degree of rationalism also reflects the structure of the relationship, transactional form and
bureaucratic form are the most widely accepted (Brent, 2007).
2.2 Physical distribution
Physical distribution has been acknowledged as being an important component of
channel management (cf. Frazier, Speakman & O’Neal, 1988, Coughlan Anderson,
Stern
28. 22
& El-ansary, 2006). However, relatively little attention has been paid to
physical distribution function in channels research within the marketing
literature. The general topic has received more emphasis in other literatures,
such as in operations management, logistics, transportation, purchasing and
information technology, with a general focus on how product orders can be
efficiently and effectively processed, and then delivered to channel members
and end-customers. Among the main areas of interest have been inventory
management, the number placement, and design of warehouses or distribution
centers, the use of technology to aide in processing orders, delivery options to
customers, and customer payment methods (cf. Innis and Lalonde, 1994;
Emerson and Grimm, 1996; Giannakos and Groom, 2004; Junipero,
Hooker, Joseph-Matthews, Yoon, and Brooding, 2008).
The lack of attention to physical distribution in channels research in marketing
is unfortunate. Physical distribution functions will impact both channel
organization and the way channel relationships are coordinated over time.
More clarity is necessary on the role of physical distribution functions within
the general domain of channel management (Frazier, 2009).
2.3 The role of power in distribution channels
Channels of distribution can be viewed as social systems comprising a set of
interdependent organizations, which perform all the activities (functions),
utilized to move a product and its title from production to consumption (Stern
& Heskett, 1969; Stern, 1971). Because of this interdependency there arises a
need for some form of co- operation between channel members and co-
ordination of activities. This co-operation and co-ordination is necessary in
29. 23
order to ensure predictability and dependability between members which will
allow individual organizations to plan effectively. Also, conflict arises in
channels, because members sometimes have incompatible goals, differing
ideas as to the functions each should perform, and differing perceptions of
reality. This conflict needs to be controlled so that it does not disrupt channel
functioning (Wilkinson, 1996). Power or, rather, the use of power by
individual channel members to affect the decision making and/or behavior of
one another (whether deliberate or not), is the mechanism by which the
channel is organized, and orderly behavior preserved. This is not meant to
imply that organizations necessarily set out deliberately to organize the
channel, but that this organization of the channel arises out of individual
organizations adjusting their behavior to one another in relation to the
power they each have and use. However, in some channels, firm(s) may
assume a leadership role and make deliberate attempts to organize the
channel, making use of their power. Power is how cooperation between
individual channel members' activities are coordinated and how any conflict
between firms is controlled (Stern & Heskett, 1969; Stern,1971; Wilkinson,
1973).
2.4 Strategic choice in distribution channels
Although the marketing industry as a whole has embraced a strategic approach,
distribution channels have been rather hesitant to do so. The study of channel techniques
has received less attention than studies on methods to manipulate power and influence.
Decisions on marketing channel strategies are significant because of 1) their long-term
effects naturally occurring and 2) the opportunities and limits they bring (Dwyer & Welsh,
1985). The Relationship building in a marketing channel frequently requires a lot of time
and effort. Any actions taken in connection to these relationships thus have greater
strategic weight. Given this, applying strategic management theory to the research on
distribution channels is particularly important (Brent, 2007).
30. 24
2.5 Multiple channels
Given the fragmentation of markets, technological improvements, and increased Interbrand
competition, among other factors, the use of various channels of distribution is now more
common than not. Interbrand competition and intracanal conflict may become serious issues,
leading to decreased levels of support in the firm's direct and indirect channels even while
numerous channels have the ability to boost the firm's penetration level and raise entry
barriers. These options are mainly untapped. Only Dutta et al. (1995) have focused an
empirical investigation on the construct, while John and Weitz (1988) and Klein et al. (1990)
did some examination of the utilization of numerous channels. Their main result is that adding
a direct channel to an indirect channel enhances the manufacturer's capacity to control the
indirect channel (Frazier, 1999).

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
The purpose of this chapter is to comprehend the research process by building a
framework for the evaluation and reevaluation of primary and secondary sources. The
methods and ideas employed in primary research to get the conclusions are also covered
and logical inferences are drawn from them towards the analysis and results.
3.1 RESEARCH DESIGN
This study used an exploratory research methodology. Exploratory research involves
learning about an issue that we don't yet understand in order to begin working on a
solution. In contrast, descriptive research requires us to identify the issue and then
identify a remedy. Descriptive research designs are typically used following exploratory
research designs. After conducting secondary research, we discovered the general
consensus regarding retail baking, but in the following step, we sought to identify the
differences and the grounds upon which the banks differ from one another.
3.2 OBJECTIVE OF RESEARCH
• To study about the age distribution of the respondents in the research area.
• To know how the company is achieving the competitive advantage through
promotional activities.
• To analyse competitor’s strength and weakness.
• To offer suggestions for improving Promotional places of Gorakhpur
District for increasing sales of UPL.
3.3 SAMPLING TECHNIQUE
Random sampling technique were employed for the study.
Fact expressed in quantitative from can be termed as “data”. Data may be classified as
either “primary data or secondary data”.
Sample Size: 85 (customers are taken as the sample)
32. 26
3.4 SOURCE OF DATA
3.4.1 PRIMARY DATA:
The primary data was collected with the help of a structural questionnaire targeting the
customers. The questionnaire consists of 15 and these questions involve the impact of
promotional activities on UPL sales as well as customer purchase behavior and the
benefits more which they are desired
3.4.2 SECONDARY DATA:
The secondary data implies the data that is already available, collected, analyzed, and
other information in form reports, journals, newspapers and magazines. The secondary
data required for the study is obtained from the main office and websites.
3.5 DATA COLLECTION TOOLS
Many several methodologies can be used for data collection and analysis.
These include –
Interviews.
Photography
Surveys
Questionnaires
To know the response. I have used the questionnaire method in sample survey. If one wishes to find
what people think or know, the logical procedure is to ask them. This has led marketing researchers
to use the questionnaire technique for collecting data more than any other method.
3.6 DATA ANALYSIS
For analyzing the data various statistical tools are used the arithmetic mean, median, mode etc.
for displaying the data, Graphs, m,s excel, figures, pic-charts were used.
3.7 LIMITATIONS OF STUDY
The respondents were limited and cannot be treated as the whole population.
The research is done on a small area.
The major constraint is the time.
The research is done based on one time data.

FINDINGS
1. Most of the respondents were farmers because farmers are the major users of UPL and
Other products and hence can give better feedback for the research study.
2. Maximum respondents belong to the age group of 20-30, this may be due to the fact
because youth are the maximum users of UPL and Other products and hence can give best
feedbacks regarding the products.
3. Most of the respondents were students because we have seen in the above Graph.
Maximum respondents belong to the age group of 20-30 and this age group comprises of
students only.
4. People buy either of UPL or other products due to the parameter “brand”.
5. It was found out that UPL is more used than other products by the respondents. This
indicates that UPL is more popular than other products.
6. Majority of the respondents get their information about UPL through the Television
Ads, indicating that television ads of UPL are popular.
7. We can conclude that Television Ads is a strong medium to convey information.
8. Television ads build strong brand image and convince customers to make a purchase.
9. Most of the people are aware of Print Ads of UPL.
10. A reasonable number of the people are aware of Print Ads of Other products conveying
information that print ads of UPL are popular.
11. As we can see that print ads of other products are not so popular but print ads of UPL are
popular, we can conclude that print ads of UPL are influential.
12. Video Ads of UPL are more attractive and convincing than the Video Ads of Other and
when compared to TVC of other products it was found out that TVC of UPL are more popular.
13. A reasonable number of the people are aware of sales promotion of UPL. Sales Promotions
of UPL are attractive and have a positive influence on customers.
14. We can conclude that sales promotions of UPL are not so popular as the TVC and Print ads of
UPL.
47. 41
15. Less number of the people are aware of Internet Ads of Other. Internet Ads of both UPL
and Other products have made a neutral influence on the respondents.
16. The promotional strategy of UPL is more attractive and convincing and is mostly approached
as my analysis on my respondents.
17. From the above findings we can conclude that:
a. The promotional strategies of UPL which include print ads, video ads, sales
promotions and internet ads are popular
b. These promotional strategies attract and influence customers.
c. These promotional strategies build positive brand image of UPL.

48. 42
5.1 CONCLUSION
UPL has a history, much like a number of other rival businesses. The business has been
cultivated from the beginning to rank among the top exporters in the world today. The
business has launched a global campaign centred on sustainability and is a supporter of
farmers. The business is putting up strategies for digital transformation to connect with
and engage with its target audiences in light of the rapidly expanding use of digital
marketing worldwide.
In conclusion, the internship experience at United Phosphorus Ltd. was excellent overall.
I have a lot of opportunities thanks to UPL to look outside my immediate environment
and breathe in some new air. I traveled to Gorakhpur district in Uttar Pradesh for my
internship, a region I was unfamiliar with and where no one knew me. I visited several
villages, mandis, and farmers' fields in temperatures between 45 and 48 degrees Celsius. I
interacted with farmers, and they were all really encouraging. The farmers' kind
demeanor helped me feel at ease in the strange environment. All of the questions I asked
them were thoroughly answered by them. Some farmers were upset and anxious about
their losses over the previous two years, and they readily communicated their issues. I
also spoke with a lot of merchants and distributors. They helped me, too. They were
quick to respond when I inquired about the many UPL items they have on hand at their
stores. They described to me the many compounds that make up UPL, such as fertilizers,
weedicides, insecticides, and fungicides. They not only create a genuine brand image but
also persuade clients to buy. The online marketing and sales promotions used by UPL
must be effective. According to my poll, I have discovered that UPL's marketing
approach has encouraged other businesses to emphasize what can be viewed as
shortcomings in their own advertising. The marketing tactics employed by UPL
49. 43
demonstrate its concern for farmers and the welfare of their crops. A consequence of
these promotions for
5.2 SUGGESTIONS
As we can see, UPL has success with its print and video advertisements but struggles with its
internet advertisements. following suggestions can be made for the internet ads:
1. The company should come up with attractive and influential internet advertisements.
2. The company should do promotions through social media.
3. The company should create search engines.
4. The business should think carefully about its pricing approach.
UPL also has to work on its sales promotions Following suggestions can be made for sales promotions:
1. There should be attractive and influential sales promotions.
2. The creation of new marketing channels for businesses, such as internet sales, is crucial.
3. held additional farmer meetings while traveling from village to village.
4. The company should conduct loyalty programs etc.
5. There should be wall paintings, posters, etc. in semi urban areas.
