INTRODUCTION:

Satisfaction is a persons feelings of pleasure or disappointment resulting from comparing a products perceived performance (or outcome) in relation to his or her expectations. Whether the buyer is satisfied after purchase depends on the offers performance in relation to the buyers expectations. If the performance falls short of the expectations, the customer is dissatisfied. If the performance matches the expectations, the customer is satisfied. If the performance exceeds expectations the customer is highly satisfied or delighted. A company would be wise to measure customer satisfaction regularly because one key to customer retention is customer satisfaction. A highly satisfied customer generally stays loyal longer, buys more as the company introduces new products and upgrades existing products, talks favourably about the company and its products, pays less attention to competing brands and is less sensitive to price, offers product or service ideas to the company, and costs less to serve than new customers because transactions are routine. When customers rate their satisfaction with an element of the companys performance - say, delivery. It could mean early delivery, on-time delivery, order completeness, and so on. The company must also realize that two customers can report being highly satisfied for different reasons. One may be easily satisfied most of the time and the other might be hard to please but was pleased on this occasion. A number of methods exist to measure customer satisfaction. Periodic surveys can track customer satisfaction directly. Respondents can also be asked additional questions to measure repurchase intention and the likelihood or willingness to recommend the company and brand to others. Companies that do achieve high customer satisfaction ratings make sure their target market knows it. For customer centered companies, customer satisfaction is both a goal and a marketing tool. Although the customer-centered firm seeks to create high customer satisfaction, that is not its ultimate goal. If the company increases customer satisfaction by lowering its price or increasing its services, the result may be lower profits. The company might be able to increase its profitability by means other than increased satisfaction (for example, by improving manufacturing processes or investing more on R&D). Also, the company has many stakeholders, including employees, dealers, suppliers and stock holders. Spending more to increase customer satisfaction might divert funds from increasing the satisfaction of other partners. Ultimately, the company must operate on the philosophy that it is trying to deliver a high level of customer satisfaction subject to delivering

acceptable levels of satisfaction to the other stakeholders, given its total resources.

About Bajaj
The Bajaj Group is amongst the top 10 business houses in India. Its footprint stretches over a wide range of industries, spanning automobiles (two-wheelers and three-wheelers), home appliances, lighting, iron and steel, insurance, travel and finance. The groups flagship company, Bajaj Auto, is ranked as the worlds fourth largest two- and three- wheeler manufacturer and the Bajaj brand is well-known in over a dozen countries in Europe, Latin America, the US and Asia. Founded in 1926, at the height of India's movement for independence from the British, the group has an illustrious history. The integrity, dedication, resourcefulness and determination to succeed which are characteristic of the group today, are often traced back to its birth during those days of relentless devotion to a common cause. Jamnalal Bajaj, founder of the group, was a close confidant and disciple of Mahatma Gandhi. In fact, Gandhiji had adopted him as his son. This close relationship and his deep involvement in the independence movement did not leave Jamnalal Bajaj with much time to spend on his newly launched business venture. His son, Kamalnayan Bajaj, then 27, took over the reins of business in 1942. He too was close to Gandhiji and it was only after Independence in 1947, that he was able to give his full attention to the business. Kamalnayan Bajaj not only consolidated the group, but also diversified into various manufacturing activities. The present Chairman and Managing Director of the group, Rahul Bajaj, took charge of the business in 1965. Under his leadership, the turnover of the Bajaj Auto the flagship company has gone up from Rs.72 million to Rs.46.16 billion (USD5 936 million), its product portfolio has expanded from one to and the brand has found a global market. He is one of Indias most distinguished business leaders and internationally respected for his business acumen and entrepreneurial spirit.

NEED OF THE STUDY

Hero Honda, Bajaj Auto and Enfield motorcycles have come out tops in the customer satisfaction ratings in the 2007 TNS Motorcycle Total Customer Satisfaction Study conducted by TNS Automotive. The study says that newly launched motorcycles including the Splendor NXG and CBZ Extreme from Hero Honda, Discover 135 from Bajaj Auto and Bullet 350 from Enfield have been ranked highest in their respective segments. The study was conducted by compiling responses of more than 7,000 new motorcycle buyers as regards the performance of more than 50 models across parameters like sales satisfaction, product quality, motorcycle performance and design, after-sales service, brand image, and cost-of ownership. The index score provides a measure of satisfaction and loyalty that a given model or brand enjoys among its customers. Pradeep Saxena, senior VP, TNS India - Automotive said: "The continued efforts of the industry in bringing down the cost of ownership and providing a good sales experience have clearly borne fruit. A trend that has been continuing for the past couple of years is the strong performance of new models. They tend to get high ratings on performance and design, an indicator of the growing design capability of the Indian industry ". Saxena adds, "The upper executive segment is a big contributor to the overall development of the Indian two-wheeler market. The right mix of performance, product design and cost of ownership is making this the preferred option among a large segment of Indian motorcycle owners who plan to buy a motorcycle in future". The study also found that the expectation of the buyer of standard motorcycles (entry level bikes) has gone up from the previous level, now the buyer also expects similar attention and commitment as the buyer of higher value bikes. Styling of the bikes in executive segment is gaining importance in overall customer satisfaction. In transacting with the service dealer, competitive pricing and explanation have gained importance as well as have high impact on

retention. For the upper executive segment latest technology and style have gained importance. Explanation of feature and benefit gained in terms of state importance while Salesperson knowledge impacts largely on retention. Premium segment buyers are at the center of focus for all of the manufacturers that have educated the customer and empowered him to buy consciously after comparing all the options, now he expects manufacturers to give him the best technology, he questions salesperson and look for the best financing options available and demands quick service. For future purchases the preference for motorcycles with high engine capacity (150cc and above) is seen in all four regions of the country however it is almost 70% in south closely followed by west. Across the country, close to 24% of current motorcycle owners intend to upgrade to a four-wheeler as their next vehicle. The propensity to upgrade to a car is higher in the north as compared to other parts of the country.

SCOPE OF THE STUDY

Bajaj CT100, Hero Honda Splendor+, Honda Unicorn, and Royal Enfield Bullet 350 Delight their Customers According to the findings of the 2005 total customer satisfaction (TCS) study released on 23rd June 2005, by market information provider TNS, the newly launched Bajaj CT100 and Honda Unicorn rank highest in their respective segments, while Hero Honda Splendor + leads the competitive 'executive' bikes. Royal Enfield continues to dominate the niche 'cruiser' bikes with its Bullet 350 recording segment-best ratings. The TCS study was conducted from April through June 2005 across 21 centres: Ahmedabad, Ahmednagar, Bangalore, Bhopal, Chandigarh, Chennai, Cochin, Coimbatore, Delhi (NCR), Gorakhpur, Hyderabad, Indore, Jaipur, Kolkata, Lucknow, Ludhiana, Mumbai, Patna, Pune, Surat, and Trivandrum. Representing the responses of more than seven thousand new-motorcycle buyers towards the performance of 40 models in the key areas of sales satisfaction, product quality, motorcycle performance and design, aftersales service, brand image, and cost-of-ownership, the 2005 Motorcycle Total Customer Satisfaction (MTCS) study conducted by TNS specialist division, TNS Automotive, is the largest syndicated motorcycle study in India. The TCS index score provides a measure of satisfaction and loyalty a given model or brand enjoys with its customers. "The overall industry average TCS score remains unchanged compared to 2004," said Rajeev Lochan, General Manager - Asia Pacific of TNS Automotive. "The gains recorded by most premium and cruiser bikes are nullified by the lack of improvements in the high volume standard and executive segments," he added. A commonly observed trend is the strong performance of new models such as Bajaj CT100, Honda Unicorn, TVS StaR, and Yamaha Fazer. The common differentiator for all these models is evident in their relatively higher ratings on product performance & design. "Among the new models, Honda Unicorn receives the best ratings to overtake Bajaj Pulsar in the premium segment," comments Lochan. "Product quality and cost of ownership perception emerge as Unicorn's key strengths." "While newness generally has a positive rub-off on customer perceptions, this phenomenon is not universally true," mentions Lochan. "Hero Honda Splendor+ defies the general trend with a strong performance on all measures of customer satisfaction. Splendor's universal appeal is also evident from its consistent ratings across regions and over time."The Indian market is extremely sensitive to mileage/ fuel efficiency - a trend seen since TNS' inaugural study in 2003. While this sensitivity is generally seen among all types of owners, it is particularly relevant for 'standard' and 'executive' bikes where customers attach a high importance to fuel efficiency.

"Bajaj CT100 benefits from its segment leading rating on fuel efficiency with its owners also reporting industry-best mileage of 70 kilometers per liter," adds Lochan. "However, it is important to diffuse focus from fuel efficiency due to the heightened customer expectations. This is reflected by TVS Centra's performance where satisfaction with fuel efficiency is relatively lower despite strong mileage figures reported by its owners." In addition to the customer evaluations on various aspects of their ownership experience, this study also examines key trends in the industry. Some of the significant observations are: 14% of the motorcycle owners surveyed indicate their preference for a car in the next 3 years. Among those intending to buy a car, the average budget varies from about rupees 3.6 lacs for 'standard' and 'executive' bike owners to over 4 lacs for other bike segments; While small car manufacturers such as Maruti, Hyundai, and Tata Motors finds the strongest preference among this group, the preference for Honda, Chevrolet, and Toyota too is significant. 28% of the current motorcycle owners intend to buy an additional or replacement motorcycle in the future; While a majority of these owners prefer Hero Honda and Bajaj, there is a growing preference for Honda. "The shift in four-wheeler market composition is already evident with car owners upgrading from two-wheelers accounting for a higher proportion of the market compared to 3-5 years back," observes Lochan. "The current findings validate that this growth will continue given the rapidly increasing base of motorcycle owners. Car manufacturers offering premium compact models are likely to benefit most from this trend."

Scooty Pep Plus & Pleasure Lead Customer Satisfaction Ratings Female Riders more Satisfied than their Male Counterparts TNS 2006 Scooter Total Customer Satisfaction Study Contrary to the popular belief, women are not as tough a customer as they are made out to be in a male-dominated world. They are the ones who are easier to satisfy compared to their male counterparts. According to Scooter Total Customer Satisfaction Survey carried out by TNS Automotive, women have

consistently given higher satisfaction scores to the scooter models they use barring a few exceptions here or there, which are not significant. Representing the responses of new-scooter buyers towards the performance of 18 models in the key areas of sales satisfaction, product quality, scooter performance and design, after-sales service, brand image, and cost-of-ownership, the 2006 Scooter Total Customer Satisfaction (STCS) study conducted by TNS Automotive, is the largest syndicated scooter study ever done in India. It comes close on the heels of the 2006 Motorcycle Total Customer Satisfaction (MTCS) study released by TNS Automotive a few days ago. ''TNS has been conducting MTCS for last five years in India which covers only male customers. For the first time, a syndicated study has been conducted to measure and highlight the expectations and satisfaction of women riders vis-a-vis men for the scooter category," says Pradeep Saxena, Senior Vice President, TNS Automotive. The TCS index score provides a measure of satisfaction and loyalty that a given model or brand enjoys among its customers. "Though scooters are touted as a declining segment of the two-wheeler industry in comparison to a far more active motorcycle segment, it is clearly delivering higher satisfaction to its buyers. This is true even for the men who buy scooters. Is this an omen for the future?" asks Chris Bonsi, Regional Director, TNS Automotive. Comparing the companies, which make motorcycles as well as scooters, ironically Bajaj Auto, the erstwhile scooter king, is the only company whose scooter customers are less satisfied than its motorcycle customers. In contrast Hero Honda, which has entered the scooter market recently is able to delight those who bought its maiden offering Pleasure. As a company, it leads the satisfaction scores among motorcycle owners as well as scooter owners. Even Kinetic, whose motorcycles are much lower than competition models, have higher satisfaction than Bajaj when it comes to scooters. The trend is very similar for TVS and Honda Motorcycle and Scooters (HMSI).But, all is not lost for Bajaj. When it comes to geared scooters, even Honda finds it difficult to beat 'Hamara Bajaj'. In this segment, Chetak 4S shares the top honours with Honda Eterno. Though Eterno scores far higher on Quality, Chetak 4S makes up with a much higher score on sales satisfaction. Clearly, Bajaj scooter customers are being treated far better than in the earlier days but the product required a change. Among the ungeared scooters Hero Honda Pleasure tops the rankings followed by Honda Activa. "Interestingly though both products share the same broad platform, Pleasure scores higher on 'Performance & Design' as well as 'Quality', In addition, it

rides on the strong brand image of Hero Honda," explains Pradeep Saxena. However, Pleasure is not 'Just4her', its male buyers are a tad more satisfied than its female owners. In the scooter segment, TVS Scooty Pep Plus is the king or may be we should call it the queen. This indigenously developed product takes on the high mighty and is the top scoring model in the entire scooter industry. It says a lot about the capability of its designers in understanding the needs of their customers as it is the only model achieving a three digit score on Performance & Design in 2006 among all two-wheelers. However, Chris Bonsi adds a word of caution here for the scooters manufacturers. "As per the study, the satisfaction with scooters drops much faster with their age (ownership period) compared to scooters, geared or ungeared. Manufacturers must pay attention to this as this steep fall happens in the case of 'Quality' and 'Cost of Ownership' - an area very close to the heart of Indian consumers." The study also shatters a popular myth that north India is enamoured with geared scooters. In fact, it is the South India that provides the highest satisfaction scores to this category. On the converse, North Indians are more satisfied with ungeared

scooters.

LIMITATIONS

1. During the survey most of the respondents contacted had newly purchased the motorcycle thus they could not respond accurately i.e. their satisfaction level and defects in the motorcycles. 2. The research is directly concerned with the study of human preference and behavior and achieving absolute mathematical accuracy towards this was not possible. 3. Secondary data about MaliniSri motors was rarely found as this firm was new and not much has been written about it. The researcher had to depend on the discussion made with the manager of the unit. 4. Some data like abbreviations and detailed promotional activities were scarce even on internet.

CHAPTER 2

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Survey research is the systematic gathering of information from respondents for the purpose of understanding and/or predicting some aspects of the behaviour of the population of interest. It is the most common method of collecting primary data for marketing decisions. Survey can provide data on attitudes, feelings, beliefs, past and intended behaviour, knowledge, ownership, personal characteristics and other descriptive items. Survey research is concerned with administration of questionnaires (interviewing). The survey research must be concerned with sampling, questionnaire design, questionnaire administration and data analysis. The administration of questionnaire to an individual or group of individuals is called an interview. A questionnaire is simply a formalized set of questions for eliciting information. As such, its function is measurement and it represents the most common form of measurement in marketing research. The report has been prepared as per the information obtained from two sources. They are: 1. Primary data 2. Secondary data 1.Primary data: The primary data included the information collected from the 1. Proprietor, manager and employees of MALAINI SRI BAJAJ motors. 2. Structured questionnaire 3. Personal interview with customer

2.Secondary data: Secondary data includes a. Data from various magazines esp. bike magazines. b. Internet c. Brochures d. Books

e. Newspapers etc
Sampling plan: Data collected has been analyzed and interpreted by using simple percentage method and finally the data is presented in graphs and charts. Sampling frame : 1. Customers visiting showrooms for servicing their motorcycles 2. Shopping malls, Supermarket, Markets, College parking etc Sampling unit: Motorcycles owners esp. Bajaj Pulsar motorcycle owners Sampling method: Simple random sampling method was used. Desired sample size: A sample size of 60 motorcycle owners was specified.

DATA ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION

SWOT Analysis:
Market trends must be considered as the company the company develops its marketing strategies. 1. Strengths:

 "Bajaj" is a well established Brand name in the scooter segment. Bajaj Auto is a cost-effective producer in the two wheeler market. It has a huge market share in the scooter segment of the two-wheeler industry. This acts as a cushion for the company in their efforts of foraying into the motorcycle segment. Bajaj has established a wide distribution network for the scooter segment which will favor them in their efforts in the motorcycle segment. Marketing has been a strength for Bajaj since inception. Strengths are internal capabilities that can help the company reach its objectives Bajaj can build three important strengths: 1. Style 2. Pick up 3. Speed

2. Weaknesses: Bajaj has become a generic name associated with the scooters and that needs to be changed in the minds of the consumers before it could expect a great success in the motorcycle segment. Bajaj is dependent on its foreign counterparts for technological support. This needs to be addressed as it might be crucial when the foreign players enter the Indian market directly. Weaknesses are internal elements that may interfere with the companys ability to achieve its objectives. The weaknesses evaluated after the study are: 1. Heavy weight of the motorcycles 2. Mileage 3. Costly spare parts 3. Opportunities: The motorcycle segment is expected to grow at a considerable rate and this would provide a good opportunity for Bajaj Auto to increase its

market share in this segment. Kawasaki of Japan, when it comes to India, can help Bajaj enhance its product portfolio in the motorcycle segment as Kawasaki plans to use Bajaj's manufacturing base for its global operations. Opportunities are areas of buyers needs or potential interest in which the company might perform profitability. They are all external factors. Bajaj can take advantage of three major market opportunities: 1.Increasing demand for high speed motorcycles. 2. Launching low cost motorcycles especially for Indias large number of middle class which is more than 60% of total population. 3. Reaching the towns through dealership as the middle class living in this area is getting rich and their purchasing power is also increasing. 4. Threats: The market share in the scooter segment has taken a beating from TVS Suzuki's entry into this segment. Entry of Multinational companies, especially Chinese ones, in the motorcycle segment will stiffen the competition and will hamper the efforts of Bajaj to establish itself in the motorcycle segment. Threats are challenges posed by an unfavourable trend or development that could lead to lower sales and profit. They are external factors. Bajaj faces three major threats in future:
1. Increasing competition 2. Launch of cheaper motorcycles by competitors 3. Launch of cheaper cars by TATA whose price is equivalent to Bajajs Pulsar segment

STATISTICAL TOOL

Chi Square Analysis Chi-Square test are conducted to test wheather two or more attributes are associated or not. It describes the magnitude of the discriptancy between theory and observation. Chi-square can only be used if the experimental data or sample observation are independent of each other. The data collected must be drawn at random from the universe or population they use the folloeing formula for calculating the value of chi-aquare. X^2= (O - E)^2 E Where O = observed frequency E = expected or theoretical frequency The degree of freedom is calculated from the frequency table called contingency table by using the formula d. f = (C-1)*(R-1) Where, c = no. of cell frequencies in columns; r = no. of frequencies in rows. Chi Square data is done for owing motorcycle and owing Bajaj motorcycle. 1.Null Hypothesis(H0) : There is no significant relationship between owingmotor cycle and owing Bajaj motorcycle.

FINDINGS

FINDINGS:

The study was conducted and the findings are given in the following text:

1. Market presence:
Automobile companies like HeroHonda, TVS, Honda are already present in the market. But Bajaj was present with more than 60 % of high displacement segment like Pulsar.

2. Market share:

Market share of Bajaj is alright but it is no.2 in leadership. Its market share is 34%.

3. Customer perception of quality and style:

Customer satisfaction of quality and style was high on pulsar. The research proved that customers see Bajaj as the company manufacturing stylish and quality motorcycles.

4. Most effective factor for influencing the customers:

26.67% of respondents commented that advertisement was the main source of information which influenced them to buy a particular brand of Bajaj i.e. Pulsar. Even Bajaj has not signed for any celebrity endorsement advertisement influences people. But still Bajaj should sign a celebrity as its brand ambassador.

SUGGESTIONS

& RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Increase in advertising in mass media to promote its sales. 2. Manufacture fuel efficient motorcycles. 3. Manufacture motorcycles which can withstand for long time on Indian roads. 4. It should appoint a brand ambassador and also sponsor entertainment and sports events so that the name of the company remains in the minds of the people. 5.Company should implement new marketing strategies to compete with cheaper cars like NANO recently launched by TATA as it is one of the threat to automobile industry.

ANNEXURE
Customer satisfaction, a business term, is a measure of how products and services supplied by a company meet or surpass customer expectation. It is seen as a key performance indicator within business and is part of the four perspectives of a Balanced Scorecard. Measuring Customer Satisfaction You want people to be satisfied with your website right? Measuring customer satisfaction is subjective it tells you what they say they like and dont like about your site, not necessarily what they do on your site. But it will tell you whether they happy or not, when they used your site, how likely they are to return, whether theyll recommend your site to others, and much more. Organizations are increasingly interested in retaining existing customers while targeting non-customers measuring customer satisfaction provides an indication of how successful the organization is at providing products and/or services to the marketplace. Customer satisfaction is an ambiguous and abstract concept and the actual manifestation of the state of satisfaction will vary from person to person and product/service to product/service. The state of satisfaction depends on a number of both psychological and physical variables which correlate with satisfaction behaviors such as return and recommend rate. The level of satisfaction can also vary depending on other options the customer may have and other products against which the customer can compare the organization's products. Because satisfaction is basically a psychological state, care should be taken in the effort of quantitative measurement, although a large quantity of research in this area has recently been developed. Work done by Berry (Bart Allen) and Brodeur between 1990 and 1998 defined ten 'Quality Values' which influence satisfaction behavior, further expanded by Berry in 2002 and known as the ten domains of satisfaction. These ten domains of satisfaction include: Quality, Value, Timeliness, Efficiency, Ease of Access, Environment, Inter-departmental Teamwork, Front line Service Behaviors, Commitment to the Customer and Innovation. These factors are emphasized for continuous improvement and organizational change measurement and are most often utilized to develop the architecture for satisfaction measurement as an integrated model. Work done by Parasuraman, Zeithaml and Berry (Leonard L) between 1985 and 1988 provides the basis for the measurement of customer satisfaction with a service

by using the gap between the customer's expectation of performance and their perceived experience of performance. This provides the measurer with a satisfaction "gap" which is objective and quantitative in nature. Work done by Cronin and Taylor propose the "confirmation/disconfirmation" theory of combining the "gap" described by Parasuraman, Zeithaml and Berry as two different measures (perception and expectation of performance) into a single measurement of performance according to expectation. According to Garbrand, customer satisfaction equals perception of performance divided by expectation of performance. The usual measures of customer satisfaction involve a survey with a set of statements using a Likert Technique or scale. The customer is asked to evaluate each statement and in term of their perception and expectation of performance of the organization being measured. Ways to Measure Customer Satisfaction Many agencies use online customer satisfaction surveys, focus groups, and email feedback forms to gauge customer satisfaction and expectations. Some agencies have developed their own surveys, sometimes using a contractor to compile and analyze the data. Others purchase commercial satisfaction surveys that use a standard methodology across multiple websites. If youre looking to purchase your own online survey tool, you can start by doing a web search for online surveys or customer satisfaction online surveys.

Requirements for Customer Surveys If you put a survey on your site, you need to comply with the Paperwork Reduction Act, which requires federal agencies to have OMB approval before collecting information from the public. This includes forms, general questionnaires, surveys, instructions, and other types of collections. If you have a survey, you must display the current OMB control number. Examples Department of Educations customer survey -- in-house survey, which allows visitors to view analysis of the over 6,000 responses received to-date
1.

EPAs customer survey -- in-house survey used to learn about site visitors, what theyre looking for, and how satisfied they are
2.

Forest Service online survey -- uses the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) survey. They provide a notice on their site telling visitors about the survey and how the data will be collected and used.

This includes forms, general questionnaires, surveys, instructions, and other types of collections. If you have a survey, you must display the current OMB control number. Methodologies The University of Michigan's American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) is a scientific standard of customer satisfaction. Academic research has shown that the national ACSI score is a strong predictor of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth, and an even stronger predictor of Personal Consumption Expenditure

(PCE) growth. On the microeconomic level, research has shown that ACSI data predicts stock market performance, both for market indices and for individually traded companies. Increasing ACSI scores has been shown to predict loyalty, word-of-mouth recommendations, and purchase behavior. The ACSI measures customer satisfaction annually for more than 200 companies in 43 industries and 10 economic sectors. In addition to quarterly reports, the ACSI methodology can be applied to private sector companies and government agencies in order to improve loyalty and purchase intent. The Net Promoter score is a management tool that can be used to gauge the loyalty of a firm's customer relationships. It serves as an alternative to traditional customer satisfaction research. Companies obtain their Net Promoter Score by asking customers a single question (usually, "How likely is it that you would recommend us to a friend or colleague?"). Based on their responses, customers can be categorized into one of three groups: Promoters, Passives, and Detractors. In the net promoter framework, Promoters are viewed as valuable assets that drive profitable growth because of their repeat/increased purchases, longevity and referrals, while Detractors are seen as liabilities that destroy profitable growth because of their complaints, reduced purchases/defection and negative word-of-mouth. Companies calculate their Net Promoter Score by subtracting their % Detractors from their % Promoters. The Kano model is a theory of product development and customer satisfaction developed in the 1980s by Professor Noriaki Kano that classifies customer preferences into five categories: Attractive, One-Dimensional, Must-Be, Indifferent, Reverse. The Kano model offers some insight into the product attributes which are perceived to be important to customers. Kano also produced a methodology for mapping consumer responses to questionnaires onto his model. SERVQUAL or RATER is a service-quality framework that has been incorporated into customer-satisfaction surveys (e.g., the revised Norwegian Customer Satisfaction Barometer) to indicate the gap between customer expectations and experience. J.D. Power and Associates provides another measure of customer satisfaction, known for its top-box approach and automotive industry rankings. J.D. Power and Associates' marketing research consists primarily of consumer surveys and is publicly known for the value of its product awards. Other research and consulting firms have customer satisfaction solutions as well. These include A.T. Kearney's Customer Satisfaction Audit process, which incorporates the Stages of Excellence framework and which helps define a companys status against eight critically identified dimensions. One of the newest and most innovative customer satisfaction measurement methodologies is called Gustometria. Gustometria is realtime measurement of customer and employee satisfaction. Customers are invited to answer a short survey by touching the "gustometer" screen with their fingers. The responses

are collected immediately by the Gustometria servers which tabulate the results in real time. Management can then log into their private website and use the sophisticated business intelligence reports which are built in to the Gustometria system. Most innovative contact centers make increasing use of multi-media surveys including web, email and telephone surveys. Although extremely challenging, many have introduced automated voice surveys at the end of a call, provided by companies such as VIRTUATel. These use IVR technology, whether hosted or on-premise, to collect the valuable feedback data collection. However, the real power of such surveys is in making use of sophisticated data analysis techniques and comparison indicators such as Advocacy Index to drive powerful Performance Management to increase customer retention and revenue percustomer rates. Improve Your Customer Service

1. Stay in contact with customers on a regular basis. Just as it is bad news to send out too many emails to customers, it is just as bad to not stay in contact with them. Customers don't want to feel abandoned. So don't. Here are three things to help you stay in touch: - Offer them your ezine subscription. - Ask customers if they want to be updated by e-mail. - Follow-up after each sale to see if they are satisfied with their purchase. Send an e-mail out a few days after their purchase, another in a week or two, and then another in a month. 2. Create a customer focus group by inviting 10 to 20 loyal customers to meet regularly. Alternatively, send out a monthly survey to this group asking for ideas and input on how to improve your customer service. Give them a reward. Pay them, give them a gift certificate, or send them free product. 3. Have a web site that is easy to navigate. Add a frequently asked question's "FAQ" page and explain anything that might confuse your customers or visitors. Follow-up with an electronic survey with questions on how to increase your site's user-friendliness. 4. Resolve customer complaints quickly and completely. Answer all e-mail and phone calls within a few hours. This will show your customers you really care about them.

5. Don't make your customers or visitors hunt for your contact information. Make it easy for them to contact you. Offer as many contact methods as possible. Hyperlink all your e-mail addresses so they don't have to find or type it. Offer a toll free number. 6. If you have strategic alliances or employees, make sure they are familiar with your customer service policy. Give your employees bonuses or incentives to practice excellent customer service. Tell employees to be flexible with each individual customer, each one has different concerns, needs and wants. 7. Give your customers more than they expect. Send thank you gifts to long time customers. E-mail them greeting cards on holidays or birthdays if you have their address or online cards if you only have their e-mail address and name. Give bonuses to your customers who make a big purchase or multiple purchases. 8. U-welcome, please, and thank you and can never be over used. Be polite no matter what. Admit and apologize for mistakes quickly and make it up to them in BIG ways if you want them to continue being a customer. 9. Reward in points -- give customers a point for every dollar they spend. Set up a points-earned sheet. E-mail the customer an update monthly. If they send you a referral they get 10 points, if they buy something add 10 more points. 10. If your business is local, invite customers to your office for lunches, parties, barbecues, dances, seminars or other special events. It isn't what you perceive as valuable but what customers see from their eyes. Yet, sometimes, you just can't please some folks. If that occurs, do you best and then let it go. You don't want them for clients anyway.

THE PROBLEM: AVERAGE CUSTOMER SATISFACTION, RETENTION AND LOYALTY

Customer service is the cornerstone of a solid, thriving business. It costs six to thirty times more to get a new customer than it does to service and maintain the satisfaction and loyalty of an existing customer. Companies struggle to cut costs without realizing that customer attrition might be the single largest cost they have. Keeping customers happy has the same bottom line effect as cutting costs. Increase your customer retention by 5%, and you could increase your profits 25% to 100%. But you wont get there by providing the same average service as everyone else.

THE CHALLENGE: KEEPING CUSTOMERS HAPPY AND LOYAL The key to customer satisfaction, loyalty and retention is to consistently deliver a level of customer service that exceeds and even anticipates the customer's expectations for value. Good customer relationship management entails thoughtful customer care and customer experience design. Customer satisfaction and loyalty are directly tied to the quality of your customer relationship management. The customer has to feel good about doing business with you. Companies looking to thrive in the 21st century are investing in customer service training programs, customer relationship management and call center training programs that sharpen their customer focus and build customer satisfaction, loyalty and retention with every experience.
