andorder history from the finance department, the companyinventory levels from the warehouse
module, production capacity from production planning and control department, and then the shipping
trucking schedule from the logistic module. This biggest management challenge in the new
millennium of liberalization and globalization for a business is to serve and maintain good
relationship with the king the customer. In the past producers took their customers for granted,
because at that time the customers were not demanding nor had alternative source of supply or
suppliers. But today there is a radical transformation. The changing business environment is
characterized by economic liberalization, increasing competition, high consumer choice, demanding
customer, more emphasis on quality and value of purchase etc.All these changes have made todays
producer shift from traditional marketing to modern marketing. Modern marketing calls for more than
developing a product, pricing it, promoting it and making it accessible to target customer. It demands
building trust, a binding force and value added relationship with the customers. The process of
developing a cooperative and collaborative relationship between the buyer and seller is called
customer relationship management shortly called CRM. According to Ashoka dutt head of Citi Bank
the idea of CRM is to know the individual customer intimately, so that the company has a
customized product ready for him even before he asks for it.
Kohinoor textile mill to follow these strategies for maintain the long term relations with their
customers which is so simple and easy to implement.
1. Every part of the companys marketing effort should be geared towards building lifetime
relationships.
2. People want to do business with friendly people. To have effective relations a friendly attitude must
permeate in the organization.
3. Information technology developments should be positively used to serve the customers.
4. The company should always be flexible to bend its rules and procedures in the clients favour.
5. The company should communicate with its customers even when it is not trying to sell something.
6. The company can communicate and develop stronger customer bonding by providing financial and
social benefits.
7. The company should try to know all its customers including their lifestyles, hobbies, likes and
dislikes etc.
8. The company should make it a point to deliver more than what is promised.
Kohinoor textile mill believes that the CRM is a new technique in marketing where the marketer tries
to develop long term relationship with the customers to develop them as life time customers. CRM
aims to make the customer climb up the ladder of loyalty.
Kohinoor textile mill first tries to determine who likely prospects i.e. are. The people who have a
strong potential interest in the product and ability to pay for it. The company hopes to convert many
of its qualified prospect into first time customers and then to convert those first time customers into
repeat customers. Then the company tries to convert these repeat customers into clients they are
those people who buy only from the company in the relevant product categories. The next challenge
for the company is to convert this client into advocates. Advocates are those clients who praise the
company and encourage others to buy from it. The ultimate challenge is to convert these advocates
into partners where the customers and the clients work actively together to discover ways of getting
mutual benefit. Thus in CRM the key performance figure is not just current market share but share of
life time value by converting customers into partners.
In CRM the company tries to identify that small percentage (20%) of key account holders whose
contribution to the company revenues is high (80%). So from this point of view, CRM is also known
as KEY ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT.

maintaining interaction with the customers regularly and providing good quality product etc.

sale per customer has increased 15% over the last two years. Customer response rate towards
marketing activities is also improving. There are various factors affecting the customer relationship
management like working environment of the company, support from top management and
coordination among the departments of the company. Information technology is not used as much as
it should be. The company is using traditional tools of CRM like quantitative research, personal
interviews. The company should modern tools like data mining, contact centre, e-CRM and web based
survey tools.
In textile industry one company sell its product to another company. For example a yarn
manufacturing company sells to fabric manufacturing company. A fabric manufacturing company
sells fabric to apparel company. The main customers of the companies in the textile industry are the
wholesalers. And the final product is sold to the wholesalers and retailers. In this industry the
customers are few and profit margins are high. So CRM is very much necessary and relevant in this
industry. There is a high degree of uncertainty on the part of the buyers; the likelihood of customers
seeking a relationship is increased. If the firm loses its customer it would be major loss to the firm.
The product in the textile industry is complex and quality is an important factor. One of the major
values the customer expects from vendors is quality. No customer will tolerate average quality.
According to GEs chairman John quality is the best assurance of customer allegiance and strongest
defence against competition and the only path to sustained growth and earnings. If the product is not
of good quality the customer will not be satisfied and the firm may lose its customer. Moreover there
is a scope of customization in the product. The seller has to customize the product according to the
need of the customer. Customization is changing the product
