CHAPTERI

INTRODUCTION OF THE TOPIC

CUSTOMER SATISFACTION

Introduction:

Satisfaction is a persons feelings of pleasure or disappointment resulting from

comparing products perceived performance (or outcome) in relation to his or her expectations.

Many companies are aiming for high satisfaction because customers who are just

satisfied still find it easy suits when better offer comes along. Those who are highly satisfied aremuch less ready to switch high satisfaction or delight credits an emotional dignity with the brand,

not just a relational preference. The result is high customer loyalty. Their expectations are

influenced by their past buying experience, friends and associated advice, marketers,

competitors information and promises. If marketers raise expectations too high, the buyer is to

be disappointed.

Definition:

Satisfaction is a function of perceived performance and expectations. If the performance

falls short of the expectations the customer is satisfied. If the performance matches the

expectations the customer is satisfied. If the performance exceeds expectations the customer is

highly satisfied or delighted.

Cautions in measuring customer satisfaction:

When customer rates their satisfaction with an element of the companys performance,

the delivery company needs to recognize that how the customer defines the good delivery. This

could mean an early delivery, on time delivery, order completeness and so on. Yet the company

had to spell out every element in detail, customer would face a huge questionnaire. The company

must also realize that two customers can report being highly satisfied for different reason.

Companies should also know that mangers and sales people can manipulate their

ratings on customer satisfaction. They can be especially nice to customers just before the survey.


7/55

7

Another danger is company will go out of the way to please to customer; some customers may

express high satisfaction classification (even satisfied) in order to receive more concessions.

Delivering customer value and satisfaction value chain:

The value chain as a tool for identifying ways to create more customer value, every firm

has a collection of activities that are performed to design, produce market deliver and support it

products. The value chain identifies nine strategically relevant activities. This nine value creating

activity consists of five primary activities and four support activities.

The primary activities represent the sequence of bringing materials into the business.

Converting them into final products, shipping out final products, marketing them and providing

service. The support activities procurement, technology development, human resource

management and firm infrastructure.

Valuedelivering network:

To be successful the firms also need to look for competitive advantage beyond its own

operations, into the value chain of its suppliers, distributors and customers. Many companies

today have partnered with specific suppliers and distributors to create a superior value delivery

network

Attracting and retaining customers:

In addition to attracting the new customers and retaining the existing customers many companies

are intent on developing stronger bonds and loyalty in the supply chain

Cellular telephony was introduced in India during the early 1990s. At that time, there were only

two major private players, Bharti (Airtel) and Essar (Essar) and both these companies offered

only postpaid services. Initially, the cellular services market registered limited growth.

10

Moreover, these services were mostly restricted to the metros. Other factors such as lack

of awareness among people, lack of infrastructural facilities, low standard of living, and

government regulations were also responsible for the slow growth of cellular phone services in

India.

Although the cellular services market in India grew during the late 1990s (as the number

of players increased and tariffs and handset prices came down significantly) the growth was

rather marginal. This was because the cellular service provides offered only postpaid cellular

services, which were still perceived to be very costly as compared to landline communications.

Following this realization, the major cellular service providers in India, launched pre-

paid cellular services in the late 1990s. The main purpose of these services was to target

customers from all sections of society.
