EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Successful customer satisfaction surveys maximize the retention of current
customers, and help enterprises to better position themselves among prospective clients.
However, customer satisfaction surveys that do not uncover customer perceptions or
needs, improve customer loyalty, or help the enterprise to make improvements are
essentially useless. To develop successful customer satisfaction surveys, IT and line of
business (LOB) executives and their staffs should learn how to plan, design, implement,
and manage survey questions that lend themselves to effective trend analysis. This will
help ensure that customers are completely satisfied with enterprise offerings and/or
support, and identify areas of potential improvement.

highly many companies are aiming for high satisfaction, because customers who are just
satisfied still find it easy to switch when a better offer comes along. Those also are
highly satisfied are much less ready to switch high rates faction or delight creates
unemotional bond with the brand, net just a rational preference the result is high
customer loyalty.
Buys again
Talks favorably to others about the company
Pays less attention to competing brands and advertising
Buys other products from the same company
One Japanese businessman told the magazines "our aim goes behind satisfying the
customers, our aim is to delight the customer". In fact, this is higher the great marketers.
They go behind meeting the mere expectations of the customers, when they delight a
customer, the customer talks to even more acquaintances about the one company. The
Page 8
delighted customers are more effective adventurous than advertisement placed in the
Media.
Now let us consider what happen when the company creates a dissatisfied
customer. Whereas we have pointed out, a satisfied customer tells three people about a
good product experience, a dissatisfied customer gripes to eleven people. In fact, in one
study, 13% of the people who had a problem with an organization complain about the
company to more than 20 people.
What is after sales service?
After sales service refers to various processes which make sure customers are
satisfied with the products and services of the organization. The needs and demands of
the customers must be fulfilled for them to spread a positive word of mouth. In the
current scenario, positive word of mouth plays an important role in promoting brands
and products.
After sales service makes sure products and services meet or surpass the
expectations of the customers. After sales service includes various activities to find out
whether the customer is happy with the products or not? After sales service is a crucial
aspect of sales management and must not be ignored.
Why after sales service?
After sales service plays an important role in customer satisfaction and customer
retention. It generates loyal customers. Customers start believing in the brand and get
associated with the organization for a longer duration. They speak good about the
organization and its products.
Page 9
A satisfied and happy customer brings more individuals and eventually more
revenues for the organization. After sales service plays a pivotal role in strengthening the
bond between the organization and customers.
There are six parts to any customer satisfaction programmed:
1. Who should be interviewed?
2. What should be measured?
3. How should the interview be carried out?
4. How should satisfaction be measured?
5. What do the measurements mean?
6. How to use customer satisfaction surveys to greatest effect?
Some products and services are chosen and consumed by individuals with little
influence from others. The choice of a brand of cigarettes is very personal and it is clear
who should be interviewed to find out satisfaction with those cigarettes. But who should
we interview to determine the satisfaction with breakfast cereal? Is it the person that
buys the cereal (usually a parent) or the person that consumes it (often a child)? And
what of a complicated buying decision in a business to business situation. Who should
be interviewed in a customer satisfaction survey for a truck manufacturer the driver,
the transport manager, the general management of the company? In other business to
business markets there may well be influences on the buying decision from engineering,
production, purchasing, quality assurance, plus research and development. Because each
department evaluates suppliers differently, the customer satisfaction programme will
need to cover the multiple views.
Page
10
The adage in market research that we turn to again and again is the need to ask the
right question of the right person. Finding that person in customer satisfaction research
may require a compromise with a focus on one person - the key decision maker; perhaps
the transport manager in the example of the trucks. If money and time permit, different
people could be interviewed and this may involve different interviewing methods and
different questions.
The traditional first in line customer is an obvious candidate for measuring
customer satisfaction. But what about other people in the channel to market? If the
products are sold through intermediaries, we are even further from our customers.
Page
11
Customer satisfaction surveys are often just that surveys of customers without
consideration of the views of lost or potential customers. Lapsed customers may have
stories to tell about service issues while potential customers are a good source of
benchmark data on the competition. If a survey is to embrace non-customers, the
compilation of the sample frame is even more difficult. The quality of these sample
frames influences the results more than any other factor since they are usually outside
the researchers control. The questionnaire design and interpretation are within the
control of the researchers and these are subjects where they will have considerable
experience..
Working out what questions to ask at a detailed level means seeing the world from
the customers points of view. What do they consider important? These factors or
attributes will differ from company to company and there could be a long list. They
could include the following:

It is expected that by 2030, the Indian car market will be the 3rd largest car
market across the globe. The main encouraging factors for the success story of the car
market in India are the increase in the opportunity for new investments, the rise in the
GDP rate, the growing per capita income, massive population, and high ownership
capacity. The liberalization policies followed by the Indian government had been
inviting foreign players to participate in the car market in India.
The car Market in India is crowded with all varieties of car models like the small
cars, mid-size cars, luxury cars, super luxury cars, and sports utility vehicles. Initially
the most popular car model dominating the Car Market in India was the Ambassador,
which however today gave way to numerous new models like Hyundai, Honda,
Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Bentley and many others. Moreover, there are many other
models of cars in the pipeline, to be launched in the car market in India. Some of the
leading brands dominating the car market in India at present are
Hindustan Motors, Reva Electric Car Co., Fiat India Private Ltd., Daimler
Chrysler India Private Ltd, Ford India Ltd., Honda Siel Cars India Ltd., General Motors
India, Hyundai Motors India Ltd., Skoda Auto India Private Ltd., and Toyota Kirloskar
Motor Ltd. Since the demand for foreign cars are increasing with time, big brands like
Mercedes Benz, Volkswagen, Aston Martin, Ferrari, and Rolls-Royce have long since
made a foray into the Indian car market.

SUZUKI SWIFT
The Suzuki Swift is a subcompact car produced by Suzuki in Japan since
2000. Prior to this, the "Swift" nameplate had been applied to the Suzuki Cultus in
numerous export markets.
Maruti Suzuki India Limited has again made it to the headlines by
introducing the updated version of its bestselling hatchback, Swift in the automobile
market. The upgrades are mostly regarding technical specifications and its features,
which helps it to be more competitive in this lucrative hatchback segment.

The automaker has retained all the variants in this model series, while
adding a new 'LXi Option' trim in the lineup. Hence, this hatchback is now available in a
total of four petrol and three diesel variants for the buyers to choose from. The
automaker has also retained the same petrol and diesel engines, but has made some
tweaks to improve its overall fuel efficiency.
All the petrol variants are equipped with the same 1.2-litre engine, which is now
capable of giving away 20.4 Kmpl mileage.
On the other hand, its diesel trims are fitted with a 1.3-litre Multijet engine that
can produce an impressive mileage of 25.2 Kmpl. In terms of exteriors, it gets a
redesigned bumper with pronounced air dam along with silver inserts on fog lamp
console. Apart from this, it also gets a new honeycomb radiator grille along with a newly
designed alloy wheels. In addition to these, this model series is now available with three
new exterior paint options including Mysterious Violet, Granite Grey and Fire Red as
well. Its interiors too have been tweaked with an improved color scheme, which is
Page

further emphasized by sporty silver accents in addition to these, the seats have also been
tweaked with improved support for back and thighs. As far as its comfort features are
concerned, the entry level variants are now available with split folding rear bench seat
that is also incorporated with a couple of adjustable headrests. While the mid range trims
are now equipped with a music system along with electrically adjustable outside mirrors.
On the other hand, its top end version is equipped with advanced features like Bluetooth
connectivity, rear parking sensors and push button engine start as well, which certainly
makes it more desirable in its segment. On the other hand, in terms of safety aspects, its
mid range trim has been blessed with the proficient anti lock braking system along with
EBD as a standard fitment.

CONCLUSION
Careful consideration must be given to what the organization hopes to
accomplish, how the results will be disseminated to various parts of the maruti suzuki
and how the information will be used. There is no point asking customers about a
particular service or product if it wont or cant be changed regardless of the feedback.
Conducting a customer satisfaction survey program is a burden on the
organization and its customers in terms of time and resources. There is no point in
engaging in this work unless it has been thoughtfully designed so that only relevant and
important information is gathered. This information must allow the organization to take
direct action. Nothing is more frustrating than having information that indicates a
problem exists but fails to isolate the specific cause. Having the purchasing department
of a manufacturing firm rate the sales and service it received on its last order on a survey
scale of 1 (terrible) to 6 (magnificent) would yield little about how to improve sales and
service to the manufacturer.
The lesson is twofold. First, general questions are often not that helpful in
customer satisfaction measurement, at least not without many other more specific
questions attached. Second, the design of an excellent customer satisfaction surveying
program is more difficult than it might first appear.
