It´s  expensive  and  the  size  is  too  Little,  besides  the  time  we  to  wait  is  too  much,  and  sometimes  they  asked  us  for  the  change  and  when  they  gave  us  the  pizza,  they  asked  us  for  another  type  of  change.  The  images  are  not  in  accordance  with  the  real  food,  they  have  poor  ingredients  in  the  pizzas  and  they  invest  too  much  in  publicity.  

 Improvement Analysis

They should:

Cook  the  size  of  the  pizza  in  accordance  to  the  price.  Have  a  fast  way  of  cooking  with  the  same  quality.  Improve  the  quality  of  the  service.  Prepare  pizza  with  more  cheese  and  good  quality  of  ingredients.  Invest  more  in  the  food  than  in  publicity.

KFC AND MONICA SAMAAN

In 2005, Monika Samaan, a 7-year old girl from Sydney, Australia, was left brain damaged and now must use a wheel chair to get around after she ate a salmonella-tainted KFC chicken twister. Samaan and her entire family were sickened with salmonella poisoning, but she was the only one who didn’t recover and fell into a coma for about seventh months.

Because of this, an Australian court ordered KFC to pay her and her family 8 million dollars, but the famous company refused to pay it.

“We feel deeply for Monika and the Samaan family, however, we also have a responsibility to defend KFC’s reputation as a provider of safe, high quality food.”

.

After seven long years, Monika and her family won the case, and KFC finally paid them what they deserved

KFC A  successful  Chicken  Fast  Food  Company  linked  with  some  of  the  chicken  ingredients  that  can  cause  cancer and diabetes,  for  example  monosodium  glutamate.  Chicken´s  growth  process  is  cruel  and  prohibited  in  many  countries.    They  are  treated  and  killed  in  an  inhuman  way.  Their  legs  break  due  to  their  heavy  weight.  Some  effects  on  us  are:  Alzheimer´s  disease,  high-­‐blood  pressure  and  ____kidney  problems.

Reflection  

This  case  is  about  not  100%  beef  meat  hamburgers.  It  has  been  said  that  some  of  its  patties  include  horse meat! A  guardian  reported  that  some  patties  in  Ireland  were  trained  with  horse  meat,  and  the  company  was  deeply  troubled.  Some  studies  shown  that  some  hamburgers  even  have  more  than  20%  of  horse  meat  in  their  structures.  

In conclusion, it  is  important  to eat everything in moderation  and  take  care  of  our  portions,  but  also  know  the  ingredients  of  what  we  are  eating,  the  process  and  the  future  consequences  that  they  will  cause  in  our  bodies  in  order  to  keep  a  good  health!  Eat healthy and value your health!  

It   was   difficult   for   me   choosing  two   cases   between   all   the   topics  my   classmates   talked   about,   but   I  picked   KFC   and   BURGUER KING  cases.  The  word  “health”  was  not  in  both   of   them.   Health   is   important  to  people,   and   in   order   to  have   it,  we   have   to   eat   healthy   food,   but  sometimes  we  do  not  realize  what  we   are   eating   or   what  consequences   some   ingredients  are   going   to   have   in   our   bodies.  This   text   is   about   how   big   fast  foods   companies   have   their   dark  sides.

Reading Comprehension A Although people do not expect much from the internet these days, this will change in the future. B The managers recognise that customers find them impersonal and unnatural. C First National is also preparing to adopt this personal approach to its internet banking. D They have the attitude that some skills, such as keyboard skills and so on, can be taught, but a member of staff can’t be taught to be a nice person. E Telephones are very personal because staff are speaking to people on their own territory. F And if customers try to contact the bank by telephone, they are put through to a call centre in another country where they have to speak slowly in order to be understood. G Not everyone wants a chatty, friendly service.  

Customer Service in Banks

The banking profession doesn’t have a very good reputation for customer service at the moment, and it’s not just due to loss of savings. High street branches are shutting down and where banks are available, their opening hours are inconvenient. Staff at the desks are

surly, increasingly under-qualified and often unable to answer questions F. Astonishingly, however, 86% of the customers at one bank are either ‘extremely satisfied’ or ‘very satisfied’ with the service they receive. And what is even more surprising is that the bank in question has no High Street outlets at all.

First National bank is run entirely through the telephone and the internet. And its success shows that customer service is just about face-to-face contact with clients. The primary

concern of the bank is recruiting the right people. D. So they only recruit people who already exhibit good communication skills.

And unlike other services that operate primarily over the telephone, the staff at First

National do not use scripts. B What this bank asks for is that staff be themselves and

establish a rapport with their customers. Part of this is recognizing people’s needs. G Some want the process to be swift and efficient. The member of staff has to pick up on the caller’s mood and react accordingly.

C The idea that customer service can be improved on a medium where there is no actual contact with a member of staff may seem strange at first. However, the website designers at First National spend a great deal of time understanding their customers and offering

services which meet their needs. A First National is already taking steps to fill this demand. They already offer a service in which customers receive a text when funds are received or when their account falls below a certain level. In the future, online systems may pre-empt customers’ needs in even more sophisticated ways.

The Ultimate Goal

The ultimate goal of customer service is to create customer loyalty. This is NOT Customer Loyalty  

� Customer  satisfaction  alone  (they  could  be  satisfied  today  but  not  loyal  in  the  future).  

� A  response  to  some  offer  or  temporary  special  incentive  (loyalty  must  be  earned  not  bought).  

� Large  market  share  (competition  could  be  deficient  and  your  prices  more  attractive).  

� Repeated  buying  (some  buy  for  habit,  convenience  ,or  price:  seeking  alternatives).  

This is Customer Loyalty  

� Driven  by  an  Overall  Satisfaction    

� Involves  Commitment  to  make  a  sustained  investment  in  an  ongoing  relationship  with  the  company.  

 

W R Resistance to switch to a competitor

Willingness to recommend the company to

others

Repeated buying

Retailing   giant   Costco   has   enjoyed  substantial   success   at   building   customer  loyalty.     the   warehouse   outlets   spend  almost   nothing   on   traditional   advertising  but   have   grown   dramatically   largely   by  word   of   mouth.     in   short,   enthusiastic  Costco  customers  tell  other  people.  

Costco,   the  wholesale  club  company,   is   a   real-­‐life  example  of   how   great   customer   relationships   generate   economic  benefits.     More   than   80   percent   of   customers   report   a  willingness   to   recommend   Costco   to   their   friends   and  associates.      

Costco`s   success   funds   a   generous   compensation   package  for  its  employees.    New  hires  start  at  $10  an  hour—high  for  the   retail   industry—and   progress   to   $40,000   a   year   after  three   years.     They   receive   a   benefits   package   virtually  unequalled  in  the  industry.  

Costco s̀ earnings have grown at about 12 to 17 percent a year!

Finally,

Customer service is the ability, a tool to have customers and keep them. It is important to take care of facts like : personal space because it depends on the culture and region. Also, having a nice and patient personality with everyone. Gestures and postures are essential to be a good business man or woman. The golden rule is that customer service is a battleground where winners and losers will be quickly sorted out!

Differ from customer loyalty, and what is not customer loyalty is difficult. But keep in mind that customer loyalty involves commitment, repeated buying not because of a specific sale but excellent service and good word of mouth!

Word of mouth is an essential part of Customer Service. Costo company has grown more than 80% by word of mouth. Word of mouth is the 63% of all the ways of advertising. E-commerce is also important, to keep your company competitive! Social networks will help your business to grow and develop!

Some of the most interesting words I have learned are: rapport (sympathetic relationship), demand (the act of requering something), outlets (a passage outside a store, and shut down (become closed spaces).

I also watched “Cover Boss Subway”, which is an incredible program because it shows how important it is to be a good person in business. Many of the subway employees won prices because they were nice, intelligent and patient. They were Efrain, Duane, Sherri and Jesse.

In unit one, I will not forget to eat healthy and appreciate my mom´s food. I will avoid fast food as KFC and Burger King. Eat everything in moderation, value your health and value your body!
