  1. These figures do not come as a surprise to me at all.

    The questions that would come to the minds of most industry watchers would be that while Maruti has been able to build sales Tata has lost ground.

    Being a brand TATA loyalist my own assessment and experience has been:

    * frontline sales professionals – do not have adequate product knowledge and quality of manpower does not complement the brand image.

    * sevice setup – when the customer needs the brand most the company miserably fails the minimum expectations of the client. The Brand needs to gear up on the systems being followed, delivery of experience and value for money to the meet the customer expectations.

    My personal relationship with the brand over a period of time has been on multiple product categories and somehow my experience during servicing in each of these product categories has been similar and thus when I need to buy a new product would carefully weigh other options for trail and in case the experience if better probably change brand loyalties. However, the brand needs to understand that an unhappy customer would surely share their experiences with friends and family and thus influence buying decisions of multiple consumers.

    The choice of reversing the trend is in the hands of the brand and brand custodians only.
