receive Enquiry letter of FES, EPC, Distributor or end user Then, they will sort all the enquiries to find the suitable orders, which ABB factory Hanoi can sell its product The second step is that sales person will transfer the order to Design department, designer will calculate the cost to manufacture a transformer, and then designer will send back cost calculation to Sales man, He/she will use this calculation to complete the Full cost model template The third step is to get all signatures of all department related (Sales manager, LBU controller, and CEO) The forth step is very important, sending the budget quotation to customer and negotiate until customer accept the price When customer approve the deal, they will send to ABB Sales man a Letter of Award, seller must check the information in this Letter of Award whether it meets all the requirements negotiated before If it proper, seller sends back to customer a letter named Order Acknowledgement as well as transferring all the order documents to Project Management Department The last step of Sales man is to set up a meeting to explain all about the order to Project manager Page 17 Figure The Sales distribution channel End user FES Factory sales EPC End user Distributor End user EPC End user Distributor End user End user 2016 strategy/ objectives to improve sales performance  Increase Direct Sales and reduce distribution channel Selling directly to customer will save time, cost and can easily conduct the negotiation process  Find more market to sell  Increase Sales revenue by 10% ( From USD 40 million to USD 45 million) Factory Sales End user Based on your real experience, the factor plays the most important role in a successful tender/ a successful sales process (price, market research, marketing, maintenance…?) With ABB product, the most important factor is Price coordinated with Technical Specification and Quality Page 18 What is the most frequent issue that Sales team meet? To compete with our global competitors such as Siemens from Germany, Sneider from France, GE from The United States, Altom from France; ABB also meets the challenges with the Factory Delay in shipping due to miss deadline of manufacture; Pricing negotiation and technical clarification always take time and cost a lot; Oil leak is the most frequent fault of the ABB product How ABB Ltd Sales team resolve customers’ problems? To win project/tender from our competitor, it is very important to quickly gather information from customer and from FES, then the step of pricing negotiation requires a lot of skills and flexibility, another thing always need central focus is that, when we lost a tender, it is necessary to find the reason and improve it in the next time In addition, Keeping contact with customer frequently need a lot of effort and time Delay in shipping will be solved as our DTR Sales and Marketing manager, Mr Teemo said: “We need more workload, pressing the operation guys, give those more compensations…” About Oil leak issue, ABB Maintenance team must be able to support customer especially customer outside Vietnam In the real case, Mr Vinh from our team flied to Mexico to support our Mexican customer In some cases, we also exchange the product having error or sell the new one with competitive price Is there anything we need to change to improve the Sales process? ( in your point of view) I am in charge of Indonesia market And If I can ask to change something, I need more Marketing budget to this market Indonesia with ABB is always a challenging market Indonesia market is very competitive and need more relationship with local customer For example, Electricity Project in Vietnam, Page 19 we have budget USD 1- 1.5 billion while in the same case, Indonesian budgets USD 0.9 million ABB Transformer is more expensive than others but it has a lot of add-on benefit, saving environment is one of them (Dong, 2016) 2.4 Sales performance analysis and assessment 2.4.1 ABB Business operating result in market from 2012 - 2016 Figure Sales order value (from 2012 to 2015 and 2016 to be updated in ABB Vietnam divided by market) (kUSD) (Duong, 2016) The bar chart compares how the customers from 10 markets allocates different total sales order value from 2012 to 2015 and 2016 budgeting In general, the total value order decreases slightly from 2012 to 2015 And Sales revenue in 2016 is forecasted to increase more than 5,000 kUSD (48,136) Page 20 Vietnam market had the highest total sale orders, 22,328 kUSD in 2015, followed by Myanmar and Philippine, with 6,225 and 5,059 kUSD, respectively Australia from 2012 to 2013 was quite a big market for us, however, the number of order received have declined significantly from 2013 to 2015 In 2016, it has more positive signals that the Sales administrative expect the order will increase to 4,834 kUSD, times as high as order in 2015 Similarity, Sales order in New Zealand will boost from 1,117 to 8,024 kUSD as Sales man forecast As discussed in 2.2, Indonesia is always a challenging market for ABB The value of sales order in this country was the lowest one And the trend seems to be negative due to the consecutive decrease in order from 2012 to 2016 Other markets such as Newly Associated States, Sea Others countries and Africa from where we used to have low order, now develop dramatically and are expected to order more from us Page 2.4.2 DTR Sales Department result in 2015 21 Figure DTR Sales in 2015 2015 DTR Result Feb Order Mar Order Apr Order May Order Jun Order Jul

actual order value was approximately times as high as the forecasting order Besides, there were only two months: February and March, we could say that we meet our goal The reason was the real orders were closed to what we had expected Specifically actual sales was 2,217 kUSD while budget sales was 2,218 kUDS; actual sales in March was 2,186 kUSD while budget sales was 2,218 kUSD April, August, September, October and November were a positive month for us, especially, these last month of the year, the actual sales went down because of some reasons: firs, AU market was quite silent because this market started return to holiday season, Solar Philippines had funding problems and in Myanmar they raised more package secured Page 22 CHAPTER 3: INTERNSHIP GOALS & JOB PERFORMANCE DISCRIPTION &
