It>s a well known fact that no business can exist without customers. In the business of
$ebsite design, it>s important to work closely with your customers to make sure the site
or system you create for them is as close to their reuirements as you can manage.
Because it>s critical that you form a close working relationship with your client, customer
service is of vital importance. $hat follows are a selection of tips that will make your

his is the most daunting and downright scary part of interacting with a customer. If
you>re not used to this sort of thing it can be a pretty nerve/wracking experience. ?est
assured, though, it does get easier over time. It>s important to meet your customers face to
face at least once or even twice during the course of a pro!ect.
)y experience has shown that a client finds it easier to relate to and work with someone
they>ve actually met in person, rather than a voice on the phone or someone typing into an
email or messenger program. $hen you do meet them, be calm, confident and above all,
@
8/12/2019 Customer Satisfaction- In Idea Celluar Ltd Satya
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/customer-satisfaction-in-idea-celluar-ltd-satya 9/60
take time to ask them what they need. I believe that if a potential client spends over half
the meeting doing the talking, you>re well on your way to a sale.
2< Re*o: o "e**age* P7o,.9 % =ee Yo7 C./e* I8o7,e:
his goes without saying really. $e all know how annoying it is to wait days for a
response to an email or phone call. It might not always be practical to deal with all
customers> ueries within the space of a few hours, but at least email or call them back
and let them know you>ve received their message and you>ll contact them about it as soon
as possible. #ven if you>re not able to solve a problem right away, let the customer knowyou>re working on it.
( good example of this is my $eb host. hey>ve had some trouble with server hardware
which has caused a fair bit of downtime lately. (t every step along the way I was emailed
and told exactly what was going on, why things were going wrong, and how long it
would be before they were working again. hey also apologi"ed repeatedly, which was
nice. Aow if they server had !ust gone down with no explanation I think I>d have been
pretty annoyed and may have moved my business elsewhere. But because they took time
to keep me informed, it didn>t seem so bad, and I at least knew they were doing
something about the problems. hat to me is a prime example of customer service.
3< Be F7/e:.9 a: A7oa4a>.e
( fellow Site 'ointer once told me that you can hear a smile through the phone. his is
very true. It>s very important to be friendly, courteous and to make your clients feel like
you>re their friend and you>re there to help them out. here will be times when you want
to beat your clients over the head repeatedly with a blunt ob!ect / it happens to all of us.
It>s vital that you keep a clear head, respond to your clients> wishes as best you can, and at
all times remain polite and courteous.

his may not be too important when you>re !ust starting out, but a clearly defined
customer service policy is going to save you a lot of time and effort in the long run. If a
customer has a problem, what should they do If the first option doesn>t work, then what
Should they contact different people for billing and technical enuiries If they>re not
satisfied with any aspect of your customer service, who should they tell here>s nothing
more annoying for a client than being passed from person to person, or not knowing whoto turn to. )aking sure they know exactly what to do at each stage of their enuiry should
be of utmost importance. So make sure your customer service policy is present on your
site // and anywhere else it may be useful.

ake this as an example you>re working on the front/end for your client>s exciting new
ecommerce endeavor. Fou have all the images, originals and files backed up on your
desktop computer and the site is going really well. Guring a meeting with your client
heHshe happens to mention a hard/copy brochure their internal marketing people are
developing. (s if by magic, a couple of weeks later a CG/?7) arrives on their doorstep
complete with high resolution versions of all the images you>ve used on the site. ( note

5i, you mentioned a hard/copy brochure you were working on and I wanted to provide
you with large/scale copies of the graphics I>ve used on the site. 5opefully you>ll be able
to make use of some in your brochure.
Four client is heartily impressed, and remarks to his colleagues and friends how very
helpful and considerate his $eb designers are. )eanwhile, in your office, you lay back in

It>s possible this is the most important point in this article. he simple message when you
promise something, deliver. he most common example here is pro!ect delivery dates.
Clients don>t like to be disappointed. Sometimes, something may not get done, or you
might miss a deadline through no fault of your own. 'ro!ects can be late, technology can
fail and sub/contractors don>t always deliver on time. In this case a uick apology and

Customer service, like any aspect of business, is a practiced art that takes time and effort
to master. (ll you need to do to achieve this is to stop and switch roles with the customer.

Customer satisfaction, a business term, is a measure of how products and services

Scorecard.
In a competitive marketplace where businesses compete for customers, customer

$hether the buyer is satisfied after purchase depends on the offers performance in
relation to the buyer%s expectations. In general satisfaction is a person%s feelings of
pleasure or disappointment resulting from comparing a products perceived performance
in relation to his or her expectations.
(s this definition makes clear, satisfaction is a function of perceived performance and
expectations. If the performance falls short of 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.
)any companies are aiming for high satisfaction because customers who are !ust
satisfied still find it easy to switch when a better offer comes along. hose who are highly
satisfied are much less ready to switch. 5igh satisfaction or delight creates an emotional
bond with the brand, not !ust a rational preference. he result is high customer loyalty.
Jerox%s senior management believes that a very satisfied or delighted customer is worth
1&
8/12/2019 Customer Satisfaction- In Idea Celluar Ltd Satya
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/customer-satisfaction-in-idea-celluar-ltd-satya 13/60
10 times as much to the company as a satisfied customer. ( very satisfied customer is
likely to stay with Jerox many more years and buy more than a satisfied customer will.
5ow do buyers form their expectations -rom past buying experience, friends and
associates advice and marketers and competitors information and promises. If marketers
raise expectations too high, the buyer is likely to be disappointed, -or example, 5oliday
Inn ran a campaign a few years ago called KAo Surprises% Fet hotel guests still
encountered a host of problems, and 5oliday Inn had to withdraw the campaign.
5owever, if the company sets expectations too low, it won%t attract enough buyers
8although it will satisfy those who do buy9.
Some of today%s most successful companies are raising expectations and delivering
performances to match. hese companies are aiming for CS/ total customer satisfaction.
Jerox for example, guarantees Ktotal satisfaction% and will replace at its expense any
dissatisfied customer%s euipment within a period of three years after purchase. Cigna
advertises :$ell never be 100L satisfied until you are, too.; (nd one of 5onda%s ads
says :7ne reason our customers are so satisfied is that we aren%t.; Aissan invites
potential infinity buyers to drop in for a :guest drive; 8not a :test drive;9 because the
4apanese word for customer is :honored guest.; =ook at what high satisfaction can do
Saturn In the late 1@0s, Saturn 8Meneral )otors% newest car division9 changed the whole
buyer N seller relationship with a Aew Geal for car buyers here would be a fixed price
8none of the traditional haggling9D a +0/day guarantee or money backD salespeople on
salary, not on commission 8none of the traditional hard sell9. 7nce a sale is made, the
sales staff surrounds the new owner for commemorative photo, with everyone smiling.
he company%s fifth anniversary celebration at the ennessee headuarters was attended
by more than 000 Saturn from all across the country. Said Saturn%s president :Saturn is
more than a car it%s a whole new way of doing things, of working with our customers and
with one another.;
( customer%s decision to be loyal or to defect is the sum of many small encounters with
the company. Consulting firm -orum Corporation says that in order for all these small
1+
8/12/2019 Customer Satisfaction- In Idea Celluar Ltd Satya
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/customer-satisfaction-in-idea-celluar-ltd-satya 14/60
encounters to add up to customer loyalty, companies need to create a :branded customer
experience;. 5ere%s how Canadian 'acific 5otels, a chain with &< properties, did !ust
that.
1<2<1 A**7/g C*o,e7 Sa/*8a/o+
hose who enter to buy, support me. hose who come to flatter, please me. hose who
complain, teach me how I may please others so that more will come. 7nly those who hurt
me are displeased but do not complain. hey refuse me permission to correct my errors
and thus improve my service. / )arshall -ield.
he attitude of the professional is summed up in this statement. It establishes the
customer as the person to whom you are responsible. Customers support youD therefore,
they deserve OI' treatment.
$hen your customers are happy, you are happy. $hen they complain, you are unhappy,
but you examine the complaint calmly and see it as an opportunity to learn as well as
satisfy their needs. he uote echoes the fear that customers will not vocali"e their
dissatisfaction, but instead take their business elsewhere.
here>s another uote that>s even more important to salespeople and companies
immediately upon making a sale//
he Sale Begins $hen the Customer Says...Fes.
In the old days, It used to be, he Sale Begins $hen the Customer Says...A7, but that>s
a totally Inappropriate attitude to embrace in today>s customer/driven business
environment.

Buyer>s remorse refers to the regret that a buyer feels after making a purchase. It could
be caused by selective perception, user error, or the client>s error. $hatever the reason,
the full benefits of the product are not reali"ed.
Buyer>s remorse can also be caused by the economics of the purchase until the benefits
prove themselves to be cost effective, a buyer regrets having made the purchase. It is the
responsibility of the salesperson to assuage these fears by assuring the client that his
investment is wise and sound. ?eiterate some of the selling points that convinced him to
buy it originally, present data, and put him at ease.
1.&.+ 5andling Customer Complaints
$hether your customer>s complaint is legitimate or not, follow it up with a service call.
$henever possible, do it personally instead of sending someone from the customer
service department. It provides the personal service that your customer appreciates and it
may obviate the need for a technician or serviceman to call. (s an alternative, both of you
can go together to handle customer complaints. Peep the following guidelines in mind
1. Gon>t procrastinate making the call.
7ften the problem is not as serious as it sounds. Some customers read the riot act when
they call about a complaint. ( delay in responding will only irritate your client more.
&. (dmit mistakes and apologi"e.
4ust because you made the sale does not mean you can become defensive about your
company, product or service. #ven the most reputable companies make mistakes and
have problems with their products. Fou may want to restate the customer>s complaint to
show that you are listening and have an understanding of the problem.
+. Show compassion for your customer.
16

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/customer-satisfaction-in-idea-celluar-ltd-satya 17/60
$hether the complaint proves to be true or false, show your customer that you are
concerned and will investigate the problem immediately. 5elp the customer calm down
by saying, I can understand why you feel the way you do.
. (ctively listen to your customer>s complaint.
alking will make him feel less anxious about it. =et your customer vent his feelings
before you react to the situation. Be sympathetic and encourage the customer to blow
up. (fterward, he>ll feel betterD this means he>ll be in a better frame of mind.
3. Gon>t pass the buck to your company or someone else within it.
his may take the blame off you, but it undermines the integrity and organi"ation of the
company, and your customer will lose confidence in your firm.
1.&. )aintaining Customer Satisfaction
he philosophy behind maintaining your customers is simpleD now that you have them,
maintain them. $hen you consider the amount of time and money invested in them, you
cannot afford to lose them. his investment goes beyond your personal expenditures. It
also includes your firm>s advertising and marketing costs to reach that particular market
segment. Four customers, therefore, should be treated as if the life of your business
depended on them / which it doesE
1.&.3 13 $ays to Peep Four Customer Satisfied
1. Show them that you think of them.
Send them helpful newspaper clippings or articles, cartoons related to their business and
5ere>s an idea I thought you>d en!oy notes. Send your clients ChristmasHAew Fear>s
cards, birthday cards, and thank you notes.

(lways make an appointment before making your callE ?espect your clients> time as you
do your own.
+. 7ffer a sample gift to enhance the use of your product.
See how they are utili"ing your product or service and suggest other ways that they can
benefit from it. hey may not be reali"ing its full potential.
. 7ffer customer discounts on new products or services to encourage additional
business.
3. $hen new employees are hired, offer to train them free of charge in the use of your
product.
6. ?epay or compensate them for lost time or money caused by problems encountered
with your product.
If you pinch pennies, your customer may do the same.
<. Be personal.
?ecord details about your client>s life and enter these in your file. It>s so much nicer to
say to someone, 5ow is Bob rather than, 5ow>s your husband
@. ell the truth.
=ies have a way of coming back to haunt you.

and victories.
$hat all of this comes down to is that you should be willing to go the extra mile foryour accounts. hey extra effort you expend now will be repaid handsomely in the future.
he bottom line in maintaining your clients is service, service and more service. Be there
for your customers and they>ll want to stick with you. If you meet their needs, they>ll
think twice before switching to another company, even if they>ve voiced some serious
concerns. )ake new clients, but keep the old. 7ne is silver and the other gold. Gevelop
the gold you have and the silver may take care of itself.

Measuring customer satisfaction
7rgani"ations are increasingly interested in retaining existing customers while targeting
non/customersD measuring customer satisfaction provides an indication of how
successful the organi"ation is at providing products andHor 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 productHservice to
productHservice. he state of satisfaction depends on a number of both psychological and
physical variables which correlate with satisfaction behaviors such as return and
recommend rate. he level of satisfaction can also vary depending on other options the
customer may have and other products against which the customer can compare the
organi"ation>s products.
Because satisfaction is basically a psychological state, care should be taken in the effort
of uantitative measurement, although a large uantity of research in this area has
recently been developed. $ork done by Berry, Brodeur between 10 and 1@ defined
ten >2uality Oalues> which influence satisfaction behavior, further expanded by Berry in&00& and known as the ten domains of satisfaction. hese ten domains of satisfaction
include 2uality, Oalue, imeliness, #fficiency, #ase of (ccess, #nvironment, Inter/
departmental eamwork, -ront line Service Behaviors, Commitment to the Customer and
Innovation. hese factors are emphasi"ed for continuous improvement and organi"ational
change measurement and are most often utili"ed to develop the architecture for
satisfaction measurement as an integrated model. $ork done by 'arasuraman, *eithaml
and Berry between 1@3 and 1@@ 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. his provides the measurer
with a satisfaction gap which is ob!ective and uantitative in nature. $ork done by
Cronin and aylor propose the confirmationHdisconfirmation theory of combining the
gap described by 'arasuraman, *eithaml and Berry as two different measures
&

8perception and expectation of performance9 into a single measurement of performance
according to expectation. (ccording to Marbrand, customer satisfaction euals perception
of performance divided by expectation of performance.
he usual measures of customer satisfaction involve a survey with a set of statements
using a =ikert echniue or scale. he customer is asked to evaluate each statement and
in term of their perception and expectation of performance of the organi"ation being
measured.
Methodologies
he Qniversity of )ichigan>s (merican Customer Satisfaction Index 8(CSI9 is the
scientific standard of customer satisfaction. (cademic research has shown that the
national (CSI score is a strong predictor of Mross Gomestic 'roduct 8MG'9 growth, and
an even stronger predictor of 'ersonal Consumption #xpenditure 8'C#9 growth. 7n the
microeconomic level, research has shown that (CSI data predicts stock market
performance, both for market indices and for individually traded companies. Increasing
(CSI scores has been shown to predict loyalty, word/of/mouth recommendations, and
purchase behavior. he (CSI measures customer satisfaction annually for more than &00
companies in + industries and 10 economic sectors. In addition to uarterly reports, the
(CSI methodology can be applied to private sector companies and government agencies
in order to improve loyalty and purchase intent. wo companies have been licensed to
apply the methodology of the (CSI for both the private and public sector C-I Mroup,
Inc.applies the methodology of the (CSI offline, and -oresee ?esults applies the (CSI to
websites and other online initiatives.
he Aet 'romoter? 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 Aet 'romoter Score by asking customers a
single uestion 8usually, 5ow likely is it that you would recommend us to a friend or
colleague9. Based on their responses, customers can be categori"ed into one of three
groups 'romoters, 'assives, and Getractors. In the net promoter framework, 'romoters
are viewed as valuable assets that drive profitable growth because of their
repeatHincreased purchases, longevity and referrals, while Getractors are seen as liabilities
&3
8/12/2019 Customer Satisfaction- In Idea Celluar Ltd Satya
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/customer-satisfaction-in-idea-celluar-ltd-satya 26/60
that destroy profitable growth because of their complaints, reduced purchasesHdefection
and negative word/of/mouth. Companies calculate their Aet 'romoter Score by
subtracting their L Getractors from their L 'romoters.
he Pano model is a theory of product development and customer satisfaction developed
in the 1@0>s by 'rofessor Aoriaki Pano that classifies customer preferences into five
categories (ttractive, 7ne/Gimensional, )ust/Be, Indifferent, ?everse. he Pano model
offers some insight into the product attributes which are perceived to be important to
customers. Pano also produced a methodology for mapping consumer responses to
uestionnaires onto his model.
S#?O2Q(= or ?(#? is a service/uality framework that has been incorporated into
customer/satisfaction surveys 8e.g., the revised Aorwegian Customer Satisfaction
Barometer9 to indicate the gap between customer expectations and experience.
4.G. 'ower and (ssociates is another measure of customer satisfaction, known for its top/
box approach and automotive industry rankings. 4.G. 'ower and (ssociates> marketing
research consists primarily of consumer surveys and is publicly known for the value of its
product awards.
7ther research and consulting firms have customer satisfaction solutions as well. hese

Sadly, mature companies often forget or forsake the thing that made them successful in
the first place a customer/centric business model.
hey lose focus on the customer and start focusing on the bottom line and uarterly
results. hey look for ways to cut costs or increase revenues, often at the expense of the
customer.
hey forget that satisfying customer needs and continuous value innovation is the only
path to sustainable growth. his creates opportunities for new, smaller companies to
emulate and improve upon what made their bigger competitors successful in the first
place and steal their customers.
C*o,e7 Eea/o*
Customer is defined as anyone who receives that which is produced by the individual or
organi"ation that has value. Customer expectations are continuously increasing. Brand
loyalty is a thing of the past. Customers seek out products and producers that are best
able to satisfy their reuirements. ( product does not need to be rated highest by
customers on all dimensions, only on those they think are important.

By Brian racy
he purpose of a business is to create and keep a customer. If a business successfully
creates and keeps customers in a cost/effective way, it will make a profit while
continuing to survive and thrive. If, for any reason, a business fails to attract or sustain a
sufficient number of customers, it will experience losses. oo many losses will lead to the
demise of the enterprise.
(ccording to Gun and Bradstreet, the single, most important reason for the failure of businesses in (merica is lack of sales. (nd, of course, this refers to resale%s as well as
initial sales. So your company%s !ob is to create and keep a customer, and your !ob is
exactly the same. ?emember, no matter what your official title is, you are a salesperson

oday, it would be difficult to find a company that doesn>t proudly claim to be acustomer/oriented, customer/focused, or even/customer driven enterprise. But look closer
at how these companies put their assertions into practice, and often you discover an array
of notions and assumptions that range from superficial and incomplete to misguided.+
Some examples of customer satisfaction illusion include
• believing that by conducting market surveys and focus groups you know all there
is to know about your customers
• believing that investing in awareness programs for employees and putting
customers> pictures on the cover of your annual report is enough to achieve customer
satisfaction
• believing that the !ob of C#7 is done by giving his or her direct phone number to
some valued customers

(ll these approaches are well intentioned, but all of them offer, at best, partial solutions
to their customer satisfaction, and all, as a result, fall short.+
here is nothing wrong with the notion of customer satisfaction per se. he problem
comes with its pursuit, which if fraught with peril. )ost plans to improve customer
satisfaction stand on two shaky N and dangerous N assumptions. $hat they create is an

satisfaction are misleading N they tell you very little about where you are, and they can>t

I have had a couple of my readers on my Give site email me saying how they had
contacted a particular Give shop that I recommended, only to get a blunt negative
response.
Fou see they rang the shop to get more information # mailed to them as they were too
busy to get in for themselves. 7ne of these gentlemen was going to spend in excess of
+000.00 and to get the response that he did was very off putting, not to mention making
me ending up looking a bit stupid for the ?ecommendation.
his annoys me no end as I hear how tight and how hard some shops have had it over the
winter period only to be treated like this really makes me start to wonder. 5ere are a few
uestions that I would like to put forward to the Give Shops of Aew *ealand.
5ow important are your customers to you
$ould you not do your best to provide info that could lead to a repeat customer
5ow many shops would not email information to a potential customer
(re your customers only important to you when you are not busy
Go you think summers coming so no worries now
$hy complain about how slow things are then not trying to do your best to please a
customer
'lease send me your opinions as I will eagerly await your replies.
$hen I am asked for advice on what Give Shops are best to deal with I look at all the
shops in the local area and recommend the closest to the customer that I know will
provide a good service. aking this very negative feedback I have had it will be
interesting to see this shops response.
Give 'lanet aims to build a one on one relationship not only with business owners but
also the potential customers that freuent these services. I spend on average 1@ hours a
day on the computer and Internet 6 days a week with -our hours a day responding to my
visitors. his is not a way of earning money as I am doing my best to promote my
country to the world.
)y firm belief is to build solid relationships, friendships and trust. 7nce you have these
key factors in place and maintain a good rapport both with customers and businesses, will
you be able to make small profits along the way.
