Recently China Mobile Company in Pakistan after replacing the code 0304 with 0314
now introduced its new brand called “ZONG” formally “paktel”. With introductory
slogan “Say everything” or “Sub Kah Do” and started its advertising campaign at
popular print and electronic media outlets. ZONG is the first international brand of
China Mobile being launched in Pakistan. The company often cited as China Mobile
Pakistan. It meant to empower and liberate the people of Pakistan in every nook and
corner of country. It will become a part of their hearts, their minds and bring about a

2.1.2 Weaknesses of ZONG Customer Service Center
Weaknesses are defined as any activity the organization does not do well or the
resources the organization needs but it does not posses. According to my point of
view following are the some weaknesses of ZONG Customer Service Center:
Number of CSR is not sufficient here in CSC Sahiwal, customer some time
should have to wait for their turn a bit.
The staff of CSC is not involved in more outdoor activities.

3.2 Accomplishments
As far as my accomplishments are concerned I was given a target of sales, my
target was to sell minimum 30 SIMs with 100 recharge any where in the country. For
completing this I had to do a lot. I went to my city where I thought I can make more
sales. I established stall there and tried to sell my product and also I go nearby cities
45
Giving number to a non personal SIM
31
to sell my SIMs and miniload, and I also did one to one marketing in many areas to
increase my sales. It had a good impact on sales. More over me worked with my
friends and newly opened franchise in my city Ali Pur.
NOTE: my sales data and revenue analysis is attached.
As I told that I was given a target of sales I learn a lot during my internship how to
deal, who to avoid difficult situations and how to create demand for your product. I
myself make many policies to make sales because selling a SIM46 was not a difficult
task to do customer is ready to take SIM from you but to sell him recharge of Rs.100
was a bit difficult, so keep in view the cost of SIM and load I make many polices to
sell. Even I sold free SIMs too (get number of your choice in Rs.160 with 160
balance) and many more policies like this.
I face those problems very well, and I was able to neglect those problems. But in
sale you should have to be cool and clam because nobody wants to loss his
customers. I also do this because in between sale was stopped than I came with one
46
Subscriber identity module
32
to one marketing go to the customer to sell my product and was very much
successful doing this.
Another problem was that customer was ready to take SIM but with out recharging, it
was a very difficult thing to convince that customer to recharge at the spot.
It was a great experience in the field, before the completing my studies I got a
chance to get in the market and do some work. When I will get in my practical life
soon after completing my degree this experience will go whit me and will be very
beneficial for me in the field. Because in the any kind of job in marketing or sales
department in Pakistan you should have to interact with the customer and try to fulfill
the needs and wants of the customers.
