Huge chunk of data collected through primary sources will continue to be in the
raw form until it is processed analyzed.
The data processing has two parts:
a) Data analysis
b) Interpretation of the data
1) Data Analysis:
Data analysis is done in the study of organize the data in a particular manner
which servers the purpose of study.
First, the data collected through questionnaire will be edited to correct
the errors that might have occurred due to illegibly or incompletely
filled questionnaire.

that is ready for analysis and to speed up the tabulation process.
Third, tabulation is done i.e. number of data falling into different
categories are counted. Then the results are summarized in tabular
format.
2) Interpretation of data:
From the analyzed data a conclusion is drawn. To do so relevant statistical tools
are used.
1. (Lin & Chung-Yueh, 2017), The survey states that due to uncertainty of customers
having further contact with the service providers, there exist a wide scope of
expectations that they should hold a serious relationship. The aim of this inquiry is to
look into the how a company can deliver the expected services to retain the customers
in future by developing their technology and quality of their service delivery. There
will be a everyday development in building a relationship with the customers. The study
also gives knowledge about that effect of customers’ expected future role on customer
retention.
2. (Xevelonakis, 2017), The study deals with service providing companies are failing to
develop their customer retention activities that will very beneficial in future. This is
common to occur as the companies fall short in the capability to develop productive
customer strategies for clients’ profitability. It’s just not enough reducing the attrition
4
rate in industry. The companies should work and develop some strategies in order to
improve profitability in both company and clients prospective. In study this short come
is addressed and a productive customer strategies based on customer behavior is
developed.
3. (van Triest, et al., 2017), The study is done on b2b context and analysis is done on the
effect of expenses with respect to customers oriented and the main aspect of doing
marketing is for the repletion and profitability. Retention rates are higher for customer’s
targeted service through the interacting with the customers. The study indicated effect
on the large clients profit and expenses on the customer profit for the satisfaction.
Hence, targeted marketing expenses are the tools for maintaining relationship and not
for just maintaining customers.
4. (Ranaweera & Prabhu, 2016), The study analyzes the blended on satisfaction effects,
the factors that customer look into the service for retention. It advocates that such an
avenue discovers the service providing company how they are neglecting customer
satisfaction and the ways to keep the existing customers for the company. The study
results in indicating that there is a positive barrier for the customer to change the
company rather than retaining with company it may be because of the trust factor or the
satisfaction factor for which company has to look after the strategies to retain the
customers.
5. (Hall, 2017) In any service providing companies among all the initiatives, retention is
one of the most striking initiative. Retention is make-or-break approach because.
Defection has occurred is coming into existence because company will consider
retention as a separate strategy rather than if the company provide service quality to the
best is very important. Mistaking retention for loyalty, company follow some myths to
retain the customer and for satisfaction. A discourse is presented debunking 6 retention
myths.
6. (Stone & Liyanearachchi, 2017), This paper looks into there is no important part in
retaining the customer. The company should not look as satisfaction as a separate aspect
it should be within the delivery of the service to customers. There is a problem in
maintaining the old customers and also it is very difficult to maintain the new
customers. The research collects data that how a company struggles to maintain the
service quality in delivering the service. However, the company look after different
levels of growth in managing the retention and satisfaction.
5
7. (Fuller, 2017), The attrition of Customer retention has continued to be a problem in
most of the service companies, one company delivers a service based on the competitor
and also the company needs. There is a difference of attrition changed from 12% to
18%. Maintaining the old customers or clients are better than bringing new customers
to the company. The cost may increase to two or three times more. It will takes nearly
eight months to get a profit margin from the new customers.
8. (Echols, 2017), Over the last decade, there has been a drastic change in the
implementation of CRM systems. Nevertheless, a fundamental strategy is to establish
and strengthen customer relationships for the success of any CRM. Customers want it
to be easy to manage business with their insurance company, resulting in accurate
solution for problems. The information gathered from individual interaction with
clients is invaluable to understanding the entire client base and identifying trends in
behavior.
9. (Klie, 2016), This study looks at the basic customer contribution towards the profit of
the company. In every sector the customers are treated as profitable assets. Thera are
many tools in the industry to measure the customer relationship management. As the
industry experiences more profit there are several software which helps the company
to know their customers who are potential and who are new to the company. Before
implementing any strategies in the company it should analyze and then take decisions
by this the company will not incur loss.
10. (Collings & Baxter, 2017), In this article they mentioned more about loyalty which
causes the relationship with the company for an extent or for a long period. There is a
link between the customer loyalty, retention and satisfaction. If the customer satisfies
then he will retain and if the company is loyal to the customer needs then satisfaction
comes in another hand. Serving the customers 24/7 is very important in the company
so that the company can satisfy the customers whenever they needed even in critical
conditions.

3.1 THEORITICAL BACKGROUNG OF THE STUDY
SERVICES:
Service is defined as the deeds, performance and process delivered by the company to
the customer. Basically services are intangible in nature but it’s important for any service
providing company and also manufacturing industry. Services can be measured by knowing
the quality of the service delivered by the organization. Sometimes service plays a major role
in an organization because in a product based company there are certain measures to measure
the product like colour, quality, size and shape etc., where as in service provider company it
is important to deliver the service based on the interest of the customers.
Service can be measured using the service quality dimensions. The company should
follow some quality in delivering the services to the customers.
1. Reliabi1ity.
2. Responsiveness
3. Empathy
4. Assurance
5. Tangible
For the study the researcher used first four of the service quality dimensions which are
reliability, responsiveness, empathy and assurance.
1. Reliability: It can be defied as how well the service is rendered or delivered to the
customers again and again. It also deals with the accuracy of the services delivered to
the customers by the organization. Reliability deals with in the study are,
What is the exact specifications of the customers and those expectation are reached or
delivered to the customers, company delivers maintains the time and finishes the work
on time which helps the clients will be committed with other works, the reports are
free from errors which helps in maintaining the accuracy and next time the clients will
believe to give work to the organization and update of the service time to time after
receiving the feedback from the clients.
14
2. Responsiveness: It means what is the interest and willingness of the service providers
to serve the customers or clients and provide the service accordingly. Responsiveness
also means how an organization will respond to the customer needs, how fast the
assignment given to the company finishes on time and mainly how the company
maintains the information confidentially it is important because every company has
their own secrets and their business plan. If one company reveals the other company’s
secrets the trust factor will be gone and in future the company won’t receive any
assignment.
3. Empathy: The one word by which an empathy can describe is personal attention. It is
important for the company to maintain an empathy with the customers because the
customers feel that they are provided with the personal or individual attention by the
company, also the company should follow some aspects like they should know the
need of the clients that is the company should understands what the customer wants
from the company, interest in delivering the services to the customers or else there
will be possible of losing a customer and also the company should keep the
convenience timings for meeting the service providers. All these things results in
positive image in the minds of the customers.
4. Assurance: One of the important and difficult service quality dimensions. It deals
with two words those are trust and confidence. It also refers the information which are
provided by the service providers should be updated with the proper information, in a
service providing company safety plays a prominent role in transaction, the company
should be clam and courteous while delivering the service to the customers and the
main criteria is the company should deliver the organized work for the customers or
clients.
OVERALL SATISFACTION:
15
customers are happy with the service providers they will be satisfied and main aspect is the
company should not lose their quality in service at any time. By all these factors the company
can make the customers happy and satisfied.
CRM is a set of strategies or activities that are followed by any company to analyse and
manage the customer likes and dislikes, satisfaction and dissatisfaction and other qualities.
Company follow these strategies for a definite goal which is customer retention and to build a
long term relationship with the customers. It also give information about the customer’s
personal tastes or interests by which the company can serve the customers based on it.
The main intention in adopting the CRM practices in the company to retain the
customers and maintain the customer data. The leads are bought by the marketing team or client
management team all the information about the clients are stored in CRM and serve according
to the needs.
By the CRM adoption the company have several benefits like, by CRM the clients can
build the relationship with the company and they can give more assignment for the company,
company practices are known to the clients by it so that if there are any new changes adopted
by the company, clients will be informed by it. Website is the one media by which the clients
will be knowing about the company and by this company maintains the website information in
CRM and by which the clients will be knowing better about the changes. The company
practices to maintain the confidentiality about the changes and about the information about the
charges so the clients will be knowing about the company only through it. By CRM the
company can convey the new or updated measures adopted by the company and by it the clients
can ask queries and company will respond quickly through CRM strategies.
B2B RELATIONSHIPS
Business to business relationships plays a major role for a company like careator. It is
because they serve the clients if the clients are satisfied then the company builds the network
and from it the company can establish quickly. This type of transaction is between
manufacturers to wholesaler, wholesaler to retailer. It mainly deals with the companies to
companies rather than serving to customers. It is totally different from B2C where they can
find lot of customers but in B2B the company can find less number of customers.
16
Nowadays B2B companies are grown drastically as the many service providers will feel
please to work for other companies. Maintain the relationship with the companies is very
difficult. For this the company should be deliver the given work with quality and also low price
than the competitors. It mainly deals with new information about the product or the services
should be informed to the customers which includes changes in the services. As the researcher
said earlier price plays a vital role in service it should be charged nominal compared to
competitors. Not only in price the company must provide better and qualified services than
other companies. The services which are given by the company helps in development of other
and their companies. For any relation face to face dealing is important and the company should
not make clients to avoid for meeting the company head at any instance and by all these there
will be a relationship with the clients and in future they will refer a client for the company it is
because there is a positive image in minds of the customers.
