About GENPACT
Genpact has a unique heritage, which has contributed to our deep understanding of
process. We began in 1997 as a business unit within GE, building the Company from the
ground up. Our charter was to provide business process services to GE’s businesses, with
the goal of enabling outstanding efficiencies. During the eight years that followed, we
earned the opportunity to manage a wide range of processes from the simple to complex,
operating across GE’s financial-services and manufacturing businesses. In January 2005,
we became an independent company bringing our process expertise and unique DNA in
Lean Six Sigma to clients outside the GE family. Our new name, Genpact, conveys the
business impact we generate for our clients. In August 2007, Genpact was listed on the
NYSE under the symbol ‘G’. Since then we have grown rapidly, expanding our range of
services and diversifying our client base.

3) Research Methodology
The main purpose behind framing a methodology is to desirable the research procedure
which includes research design, data sources, data collection method, research
instructions, and sampling plan.
The population for study consists of the call centers located in Hyderabad. The data for
the study was collected with the help of Open ended questionnaire and Depth Interview.
The questionnaire was self-administered. To develop a list of items for framing a
questionnaire, existing literature was revised, brainstorming was done.

Literature Review
Benchmarks: Telesales Metrics
As the cost of face-to-face sales calls keeps rising, software marketers have been slowly
rethinking the telesales model. Telephone selling to consumers still has a bad reputation
(usually well-deserved), but in business-to business segments a well-run telesales group
can usually generate as much revenue as a more expensive field sales force—and at lower
cost. There’s just one hitch: A telesales effort takes intensive management, in part
because telesales reps typically burn through large numbers of leads every month.
Keeping track of leads, close rates, and other internal metrics is not a trivial job; if the
process breaks down, telesales can quickly become an expensive boondoggle. As a result,
telesales managers tend to be hardcore metrics mavens, measuring and comparing
everything in sight. This wealth of internal data, however, doesn’t help managers answer
the broader question of how a company’s telesales effort compares against industry
benchmarks. In fact, telesales benchmarks are notoriously difficult to develop. Terms like
“inquiry” and “lead” vary widely in meaning from one sales organization to another and
some telesales groups routinely hand over bigger deals to the field sales force or to
resellers, so “close rates” become especially tricky to compare.
Still, it’s possible to define at least some rough benchmarks for telesales performance. We
recently collected data from 86 software companies about their telesales efforts, and
we’ve summarized our findings here and in the accompanying charts:
PRODUCTIVITY METRICS
14
Despite broad differences in products and lead generation metrics, the most common
denominator for most telesales productivity is revenue generation.
And it’s especially helpful to compare revenue generation and productivity metrics in
terms of the size of the telesales group:
Average transaction size: The sweet spot for telesales deals seems to fall around
$25,000, a transaction size that’s usually too large for direct response and Web
channels, and too small for face-to-face direct sales.
Sales rep productivity: The average telesales rep spends about four hours a day
on the phone, handles some 500 “qualified” leads per year, and generates $1,500
in revenue per day. Mid-sized groups (3-6 reps) seem to be the most effective in
terms of revenue generation, producing over $4,000 in sales per day for each rep.
However, large groups (7+reps) tend to have the best close rates: They get at least
some revenue from 9.3% of the prospects they contact. (This higher close rate is
offset by the lower average transaction size that prevails among larger telesales
groups.)
LEAD GENERATION
Keeping the sales pipeline filled with leads represents a huge hidden cost for most
telesales groups—in fact, lead generation generally represents a bigger per-rep cost than
salaries and commissions.
Cost per lead: Lead generation costs tend to rise with average transaction size:
Not surprisingly, marketers are willing to invest more to acquire a lead that might
convert to a big-ticket sale than they will for smaller deals. Thus, companies with
transaction sizes under $10,000 typically spend $75,000 per year to provide a rep
15
with more than a thousand leads, each costing about $67. At the other end of the
transaction spectrum, companies with average transaction sizes over $100,000 will
spend $133,334 to produce only 370 leads per year at a median cost of $273.
Moreover, high-end companies also seem to invest more effort in the selling
process: The close rate for transactions worth more than $100,000 is 10%,
compared to 5% for deals under $10,000.
Qualified lead ratio: Ideally, telesales efforts should target prospects that have
shown a definite interest in buying—for example, people who requested
information, responded to an offer, or were former customers. Finding enough of
these “qualified” prospects, however, is usually too difficult or too expensive. To
keep the lead pipeline full, most companies give their telesales reps a substantial
number of less-qualified leads, which may include magazine bingo card leads,
names from directories, or people who just dropped off business cards during a
trade show contest. Finding enough qualified leads is a problem at all levels of
transaction size, and it helps explain why software telesales groups tend to be
much smaller than their consumer counterparts.
COMPENSATION
Salaries and commissions represent the other major expense of operating
a telesales group, but—unlike field sales reps—telesales reps are relatively inexpensive
employees. Overall median pay (base pay plus commissions) for the reps in our survey is
16
$51,000; half earn between $40,000 and $75,000. There’s some increase in pay in larger
sales organizations, but it’s not dramatic: Median pay in the large telesales groups is
$55,000. Not surprisingly, higher performance translates into significant pay premiums
for most telesales jobs. The top-performing one-third of telesales reps earn more than
40% more than average performers; the worst-performing one-third earn about 12% less.
But even the best telesales reps are still remarkably affordable—in fact, only the top 25%
of the best-performing one-third earn more than $100,000.

Training Practices
There will usually be two aspects to the training of telesales staff:
1. Telesales training and general sales skills: Refresher courses on sales skills are
essential to stop sales people going stale. These courses should be run at least
twice a year.
2. Product training: Telesales staff must have a good understanding of the direction
in which development of the product suite is going, as well as a good
understanding of the product themselves. While a relatively basic technical
understanding of the products is all that is required, it is very important that the
telesales staff understand how features relate to benefits for the buyer, and also
how future releases are planned to bring additional benefits.

38
Genpact gives Monthly Target to its Telesales Executives whereas its
competitors give Daily/Weekly/Monthly target to its Telesales Executives
Genpact incentive structure does not give instant recognition to its Telesales
Executives whereas its competitors give instant cash reward to its Telesales
Executives
Genpact doesn’t call back the non Interested customers in order to find out
whether the issue is resolved or not
Genpact should call the executives of the client to conduct sessions regularly
Things which are Ethical for one company can be Unethical for the other
company
7) Limitations
39
Being new to Hyderabad only those call centers are covered whose details are
given on the internet and names referred to me by the Industry guide
Companies are only ready to share General information because of their
confidential contract with the client
Very limited number of companies provide Telesales support in Hyderabad
Excel is not used because data do not contains numbers
Numbers are not there because this project is related to the practices which
telesales companies are following
Recommendation is based on my personal observation , while sitting on the floor
monitoring calls
Questionnaire doesn’t contains scales because scales are used to measure attitude
and in my project I was asked to have open ended questions
Two Questionnaires are prepared, one for getting it filled from the companies and
one for my reference purpose
Research Methodology is based on the process given in G C Beri
List of table and list of graph is not there because project is related to the practices
followed by telesales companies
40
8) Suggestions and Recommendations
Survey should be conducted once a month , so that feedback can be received can
be received from the agents
Fun related activities should be conducted on the floor, as the part of employee
engagement pactices
