2. When the mail from 2-M Hydraulics was received by Rahul Deshpande, the CEO of
RK Consultant, he immediately talked on the intercom to his vice president, Arun
Pande, to personally handle the enquiry. ?If you succeed to get this order and execute
the same to the complete satisfaction of 2-M Hydraulics, it would open doors for many
more orders in future,? said the CEO.
?Yes, I agree with you, but for that I will fly down to Bangalore immediately to meet
with key people in 2M-Hydraulics to understand clearly their needs, before submitting
our proposal,? responded Arun.
?Why not, go ahead, and let me know if you need any help from me,? said Rahul and
hung up. Arun looked at the website of 2-M Hydraulics and gathered information that
the company had a technical tie-up with a German company and wanted to
manufacture and market hydraulic valves, pumps and other accessories in India. The
company had decided on a distribution strategy of selling its products through dealers,
who were expected to design, assemble, sell and service hydraulic power packs
required for various applications for material movements. Arun spoke with Srinivas
Rao, general manager of 2-M Hydraulics, and fixed an appointment to meet with him.
Arun gathered information about market potential in major metros and cities,
competition, and requirement of 2-M Hydraulics. His doubt about ?can we get dealers
in India performing so many tasks? was answered by German manager, ?If we can get
them in Germany, why not in India.?
Arun came back to his office at Pune, discussed with Rahul, and sent his proposal to
Srinivas Rao. Within one week, Arun received a call from Srinivas Rao, asking Arun
to come over to Bangalore for a presentation to a team of senior executives to be
followed by negotiation.
a) How was RK consultants approach to the customer?s requirement?
b) If you were Arun Pande, which presentation method, negotiation style and closing
