P.KOTLER.
Although the customer centered firm seeks to create high customer
satisfaction that is not its main goal. If the company increases
customer satisfaction, by lowering its price increasing its services, the
results may be lower profit. When customers rate their satisfaction
with an element of companies performance-say, delivery-the need to
recognize that customers vary in how they define goods delivery. It
could mean early delivery, on-time delivery, order completeness, and
so on. Yet if the company had to spell out every element in detail,
customers would face a huge survey questionnaire. The company
must also that two customers can report being highlysatisfied for
different reasons. One may be easily satisfied most of the time and
other might be hard to please but was pleased on this occasion.
Companies need to be specially concerned today with their
customer satisfaction level because today technology provides a tool
for consumers to spread bad word of mouth as well as good word of
mouth to the rest of the word.

Todays companies are facing their
toughest competition ever. The companies can outperform the
competition if they can move from one product and sales philosophy
to a marketing philosophy.

DEFINING CUSTOMERVALUE ANDSATISFACTIONOver 38 years ago, Peter Drucker observed that a companys first task is to
create customers. However, customers face a vast array of product and
brand choices, prices, and suppliers. How do they make their choices? We
believe that customers estimate which offer will deliver the most value.
Customers are the value maximizers, within the bounds of search, cost and
limited knowledge, mobility and income. They form an expectation of value
and act upon it. Whether or not the offer lives up to the value expectation,
affects both satisfaction and repurchase probability.
MARKET POTENTIALThe principles of determining market share and market potential are
the same for all geographical areas. First determine a customer
profile (who) and the geographic size of the market (how many). This
is the general market potential. Knowing the number and strength of
your competitors (and then estimating the share of business you will
take from them) will give you the market potential specific to your
enterprise.

Market potential data measures the
likely demand for the product or the service. The data base projects
the expected number of customers and provides market potential
indexes [MPI]. An MPI compares a demand for the specific productor service in a trade area to the national demand for that product or
service nationally. The index is tabulated to represent a value of 100
as the average demand. A value of more than 100 represents high
demand, and a value of less than 100 represents low demand.
Determining what potential exists for a product or service is a vital
component to a strategic plan.
