Quality of product
Time issues, such as product availability, availability of sales assistance, time waiting at
checkout, and delivery time
In a survey of nearly 200 senior marketing managers, 71 percent responded that they found a customer
satisfaction metric very useful in managing and monitoring their businesses.
In researching satisfaction, firms generally ask customers whether their product or service has met or
exceeded expectations. Thus, expectations are a key factor behind satisfaction. When customers have
high expectations and the reality falls short, they will be disappointed and will likely rate their
experience as less than satisfying. A business ideally is continually seeking feedback to improve
customer satisfaction.

Majority of HNI and JK Bank Corporate plan customers fall within the age group of 20-40
years , however , Aircel Dongle has lesser penetration in the same age group irrespective of
the vast importance of internet in the age group of 20-40
Majority of HNI and Dongle customers have been using Aircel from over a year, whereas, JK
Bank customers who are availing the service of Aircel from over a year is not much significant
Majority of the customers across the three segments have revealed that they are very satisfied
with Aircel as a service provider
Majority of customers across the three segments are very satisfied with the tariff of their
Aircel connection
A considerable percentage of HNI and Dongle customers of Aircel have revealed that they are
facing certain problems with Aircel , with poor network coverage and poor internet speed
being the most prevalent
Majority of the customers across the three segments use telephone as a medium for contacting
Aircel incase of any issues
Dongle customers have revealed that the waiting time for getting connected to customer care
representative is much longer
Majority of Aircel customers said that they would repurchase and recommend Aircel to others
Among the suggestions, majority of the customers have suggested to improve Network
coverage, provide faster internet speed and improve customer care service
SUGGESTIONS
During the project it came to light that there is unawareness among majority of JK Bank
employees about the presence of a dedicated corporate plan from Aircel exclusively for them.
Therefore steps should be taken to improve awareness of JK Bank Corporate plan among the
employees of JK bank
Network coverage must be improved as early as possible because it was a problem area
revealed by majority of customers. If steps in this direction are not taken , it can be a threat for
company as it has become easy for the customers to switch to some other service provider with
the introduction of MNP(Mobile Number Portability)
Missed call alert should be offered by Aircel for free. Customers understand that network
improvement cannot be done overnight. But if missed call alert service is offered free of cost
the existing customers may compromise with the current situation Thus, dissatisfaction may
reduce regarding network problems.
Speed of internet & its network coverage must be improved as it is one of the major problems
faced by the customers across all the three segments.
People are the most important elements in any service organization, as majoriy of the
customers in such cases evaluate an organization on the basis of functional specifications
because of their inability to evaluate on technical specifications.
Keeping this in mind, Aircel executives at all the customer touchpoints especially customer
care executives must be given proper training so that they can handle the customers properly
and provide them the best solutions.
There must be a separate helpline number for Dongle customers because the nature of their
problems is different and must be handled by a person of technical knowledge. This initiative
