During a retailing course while I was studying bachelors, we were supposed to do a project on selling; the basic idea of the project was to sell products to a target group which was limited to college students who usually were from the age group of 18-25, the skills and strategies that were being taught on selling were to be implemented to gain customers from the target group within a limited budget and a competitive profit was to be generated.
We were divided into group consisting of 5 members (3 male 2 females), I was not elected as the leader but being the first one to organize the group and come up with ideas and strategies that would help us achieve the objective made me leader by default. I had been leading mates in earlier projects and presentations. Earlier I had been efficient in structuring and motivating group members and instructed them to work in a disciplined way and fulfill the requirement of any task that had been given.
In order to be competitive we had to come up with products which would be our competitive advantage over others. In other words the products offered had to be unique and the ideas should strictly entertain the target age group. There were numerous views discussed by the group, each members’ content of cognition was different than others. Final decision made was to sell customized T-shirts; every customer could choose their design or phrases to be drawn on shirts for any color of a t-shirt with a low price and to hire a cartoonist who would make cartoon sketches of customers within 20minutes. A week before the project started I divided the group according to the responsibilities they had been given. They were divided into operations, finance, sales and designing. The first step was to design the stall and make it attractive to
