PREFACE

This is well known saying “knowledge without application is a waste”.

So it is very necessary to provide the practical knowledge along with

the theoretical knowledge. It is very easy to study the fundamental of

management. But is some how to implement them with in the through of the

actual atmosphere of business. No doubt classroom study is in important part

for the knowledge of Business Environment, but practical exposure provide

some extra knowledge about the rhetorical concept.

My project is directed towards “CUSTOMER SATISFACTION”. For

this I have conducted the survey and find out the relevant information.

CHAPTER-I
INTRODUCTION TO CUSTOMER SATISFACTION

Customer satisfaction is one of the main objectives of any organization.


Every organization tries to know the customer satisfaction about their
products. So a study on customer satisfaction helps the organization as well
as me to gain a vast knowledge over the real world tastes and preferences of
customer

Whether 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.

As 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. 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 who are highly satisfied are
much less ready to switch. High satisfaction or delight creates an emotional
bond with the brand, not just a rational preference. The result is high
customer loyalty. Xerox’s senior management believes that a very satisfied or
delighted customer is worth 10 times as much to the company as a satisfied
customer. A very satisfied customer is likely to stay with Xerox many more
years and buy more than a satisfied customer will.

How do buyers form their expectations? From 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

7
disappointed, For example, Holiday Inn ran a campaign a few years ago
called ‘No Surprises’ Yet hotel guests still encountered a host of problems,
and Holiday Inn had to withdraw the campaign. However, if the company
sets expectations too low, it won’t attract enough buyers (although it will
satisfy those who do buy).

Some of today’s most successful companies are raising expectations and


delivering performances to match. These companies are aiming for TCS-
total customer satisfaction. Xerox for example, guarantees ‘total satisfaction’
and will replace at its expense any dissatisfied customer’s equipment within a
period of three years after purchase. Cigna advertises “Well never be 100%
satisfied until you are, too.” And one of Honda’s ads says: “One reason our
customers are so satisfied is that we aren’t.” Nissan invites potential infinity
buyers to drop in for a “guest drive” (not a “test drive”) because the Japanese
word for customer is “honored guest.” Look at what high satisfaction can do

Saturn In the late 1980s, Saturn (General Motors’ newest car division)
changed the whole buyer – seller relationship with a New Deal for car buyers
There would be a fixed price (none of the traditional haggling); a 30-day
guarantee or money back; salespeople on salary, not on commission (none of
the traditional hard sell). Once a sale is made, the sales staff surrounds the
new owner for commemorative photo, with everyone smiling. The
company’s fifth anniversary celebration at the Tennessee headquarters was
attended by more than 4000 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.”

A customer’s decision to be loyal or to defect is the sum of many small


encounters with the company. Consulting firm Forum Corporation says that
in order for all these small encounters to add up to customer loyalty,

8
companies need to create a “branded customer experience”. Here’s how
Canadian Pacific Hotels, a chain with 27 properties, did just that.

1.2.1 Assuring Customer Satisfaction:

"Those who enter to buy, support me. Those who come to flatter, please me.
Those who complain, teach me how I may please others so that more will
come. Only those who hurt me are displeased but do not complain. They
refuse me permission to correct my errors and thus improve my service." -
Marshall Field.

The attitude of the professional is summed up in this statement. It establishes

the customer as the person to whom you are responsible. Customers support

you; therefore, they deserve VIP treatment.

When your customers are happy, you are happy. When 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. The quote echoes the fear
that customers will not vocalize their dissatisfaction, but instead take their
business elsewhere.

There's another quote that's even more important to salespeople and


companies immediately upon making a sale--

"The Sale Begins When the Customer Says...Yes."

In the old days, It used to be, "The Sale Begins When the Customer
Says...NO," but that's a totally Inappropriate attitude to embrace in today's
customer-driven business environment.

9
1.2.2 Keeping Your Customers Happy

Since your first concern is customer satisfaction you should be aware of some
emotional stumbling blocks in your path: selective perception, user error and
buyer's remorse.

Selective perception is the process in which a person sees only selected


details from the entire picture. This attention to detail is sometimes petty. For
example, a customer may have a new copying machine that works like a
charm, but he is irritated by the sound of the motor. He focuses only on what
is wrong rather than what is right.

This occurs because buyers expect their purchases to be perfect. Regardless


of the purchase price, they figure that for what they spent, they deserve
perfection. When you encounter someone who practices selective perception,
evaluate the situation to determine if the complaint is reasonable or
exaggerated.

If it is exaggerated, try to resolve the problem by pointing out benefits and


features that compensate. Put the negative detail in a different perspective for
your client so that it becomes one small part of the total picture.

Many sales involve the installation of a new system or piece of equipment,


and the buyer or their employees must be trained to use it. Their successful
use of the equipment depends upon the effectiveness of the training, and it is
imperative that the salesperson follows through after the training period to
make sure the client uses the purchase properly.

It is not uncommon for people to forget 75 percent of what they hear after
two days. This can cause "user error", which will significantly affect the
outcome of your test and may prevent your client from reaching his success
criteria.

10
Often a client will be unhappy about a purchase and not realize that it is due
to improper operation. The more complex something is, the more training it
requires using it properly. In the interest of implementing the product
quickly, users may settle for incomplete training or become sloppy in their
application of good training. In any case, look for user error whenever a
success criterion is not reached.

"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. Whatever the reason, the full benefits of the product are not realized.

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. Reiterate
some of the selling points that convinced him to buy it originally, present
data, and put him at ease.

1.2.3 Handling Customer Complaints

Whether your customer's complaint is legitimate or not, follow it up with a


service call. Whenever 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. As an alternative, both of you can go together to handle
customer complaints. Keep the following guidelines in mind:

11
1. Don't procrastinate making the call.

Often the problem is not as serious as it sounds. Some customers "read the
riot act" when they call about a complaint. A delay in responding will only
irritate your client more.

2. Admit mistakes and apologize.

Just because you made the sale does not mean you can become defensive
about your company, product or service. Even the most reputable companies
make mistakes and have problems with their products. You may want to
restate the customer's complaint to show that you are listening and have an
understanding of the problem.

3. Show compassion for your customer.

Whether the complaint proves to be true or false, show your customer that
you are concerned and will investigate the problem immediately. Help the
customer calm down by saying, "I can understand why you feel the way you
do."

4. Actively listen to your customer's complaint.

Talking will make him feel less anxious about it. Let your customer "vent"
his feelings before you react to the situation. Be sympathetic and encourage
the customer to "blow up." Afterward, he'll feel better; this means he'll be in a
better frame of mind.

5. Don't pass the buck to your company or someone else within it.

This may take the blame off you, but it undermines the integrity and
organization of the company, and your customer will lose confidence in your
firm.

12
1.2.4 Maintaining Customer Satisfaction

The philosophy behind maintaining your customers is simple; now that you
have them, maintain them. When you consider the amount of time and money
invested in them, you cannot afford to lose them. This investment goes
beyond your personal expenditures. It also includes your firm's advertising
and marketing costs to reach that particular market segment. Your customers,
therefore, should be treated as if the life of your business depended on them -
which it does!

1.2.5 15 Ways to Keep Your Customer Satisfied

1. Show them that you think of them.

Send them helpful newspaper clippings or articles, cartoons related to their


business and "Here's an idea I thought you'd enjoy" notes. Send your clients
Christmas/New Year's cards, birthday cards, and thank you notes.

2. Drop by to show them new products and brochures and offer additional
services.

Always make an appointment before making your call! Respect your clients'
time as you do your own.

3. Offer a sample gift to enhance the use of your product.

See how they are utilizing your product or service and suggest other ways
that they can benefit from it. They may not be realizing its full potential.

4. Offer "customer discounts" on new products or services to encourage


additional business.

5. When new employees are hired, offer to train them free of charge in the
use of your product.

13
6. Repay 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.

7. Be personal.

Record details about your client's life and enter these in your file. It's so much
nicer to say to someone, "How is Bob?" rather than, "How's your husband?"

8. Tell the truth.

Lies have a way of coming back to haunt you.

9. Accept returns without batting an eyelash.

In the long run, they are much less expensive than finding a new customer.

10. Be ethical.

Keep all your information about the account confidential.

11. Be certain that your company follows through on its commitment.

This includes delivery, installation, packaging, and so on.

12. Show your appreciation for their referrals by reporting back to them on
the outcome.

13. If your company has a newsletter, obtain permission from your successful
clients to write about them in it.

Naturally, you would send them a copy.

14. Keep track of their results with your product and meet periodically to
review the entire picture (their business, industry, trends, competition, etc.)

15. Keep the lines of communication forever open.

As in any relationship, you must be able to exchange grievances, ideas


praises, losses, and victories.

14
What all of this comes down to is that you should be willing to "go the extra
mile" for your accounts. They extra effort you expend now will be repaid
handsomely in the future.

The 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. "Make new clients, but keep
the old. One is silver and the other gold." Develop the "gold" you have and
the silver may take care of itself.

1.2.6 Customer satisfaction measurement:

In the final phase of the project, research findings will be used to build a
model of customer satisfaction management for each customer segment.
Ultimately, QIC will be able to give its members an objective measurement
of the industry's quality as perceived by the customer. That overall index will
serve as a benchmark on the state of quality for the P/C industry. Members
will also be able to use this information to determine which areas of product
and service performance have the greatest impact on overall quality, and will
be able to target improvement efforts in an informed and efficient manner.
For the first time, the industry as a whole will have addressed customer-
perceived value, as other sectors of the U.S. economy have done.

"Voice of the system" preliminary research results

Surveys and in-depth interviews with industry leaders revealed general


agreement that the market is in a tumultuous state, with pricing very soft for
all but the most catastrophic coverage. As revenue thins, expense concerns
rise. Leaders cite inefficiencies in technology and product delivery both
within and across firms. Coupled with this internal change, customer
demands and expectations for value and service continue to evolve.

15
The senior managers expressed genuine concern for customer-perceived
quality and value, as well as the need to better understand and measure it.

1.2.7 Customer Satisfaction in 7 Steps


It's a well-known fact that no business can exist without customers. In the
business of Website 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 requirements as you can manage. Because it's critical that you form a
close working relationship with your client, customer service is of vital
importance. What follows are a selection of tips that will make your clients
feel valued, wanted and loved.

1. Encourage Face-to-Face Dealings

This 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. Rest 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 project.

My 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. When you do meet
them, be calm, confident and above all, 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.

16
2. Respond to Messages Promptly & Keep Your Clients Informed

This goes without saying really. We 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' queries 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. Even if you're not able to
solve a problem right away, let the customer know you're working on it.

A good example of this is my Web host. They've had some trouble with
server hardware which has caused a fair bit of downtime lately. At 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.
They also apologies repeatedly, which was nice. Now if they server had just
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. That to me is a prime example of customer
service.

3. Be Friendly and Approachable

A fellow Site Pointer once told me that you can hear a smile through the
phone. This 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. There will be times when you want to beat your clients over the head
repeatedly with a blunt object - 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.

17
4. Have a Clearly Defined Customer Service Policy

This may not be too important when you're just 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 enquiries? If they're not satisfied with any aspect of your
customer service, whom should they tell?

There's nothing more annoying for a client than being passed from person to
person, or not knowing who to turn to. Making sure they know exactly what
to do at each stage of their enquiry should be of utmost importance. So make
sure your customer service policy is present on your site -- and anywhere else
it may be useful.

5. Attention to Detail (also known as 'The Little Niceties')

Have you ever received a Happy Birthday email or card from a company you
were a client of? Have you ever had a personalized sign-up confirmation
email for a service that you could tell was typed from scratch? These little
niceties can be time consuming and aren't always cost effective, but
remember to do them.

Even if it's as small as sending a Happy Holidays email to all your customers,
it's something. It shows you care; it shows there are real people on the other
end of that screen or telephone; and most importantly, it makes the customer
feel welcomed, wanted and valued.

18
6. Anticipate Your Client's Needs & Go Out Of Your Way to Help Them
Out

Sometimes this is easier said than done! However, achieving this supreme
level of understanding with your clients will do wonders for your working
relationship.

Take this as an example: you're working on the front-end for your client's
exciting new ecommerce endeavor. You have all the images, originals and
files backed up on your desktop computer and the site is going really well.
During a meeting with your client he/she happens to mention a hard-copy
brochure their internal marketing people are developing. As if by magic, a
couple of weeks later a CD-ROM arrives on their doorstep complete with
high-resolution versions of all the images you've used on the site. A note
accompanies it, which reads:

"Hi, 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.
Hopefully you'll be able to make use of some in your brochure."

Your client is heartily impressed, and remarks to his colleagues and friends
how very helpful and considerate his Web designers are. Meanwhile, in your
office, you lay back in your chair drinking your 7th cup of coffee that
morning, safe in the knowledge this happy customer will send several
referrals your way.

7. Honor Your Promises

It's possible this is the most important point in this article. The simple
message: when you promise something, deliver. The most common example
here is project delivery dates.

19
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. Projects can
be late, technology can fail and sub-contractors don't always deliver on time.
In this case a quick apology and assurance it'll be ready ASAP wouldn't go
amiss.

Conclusion

Customer service, like any aspect of business, is a practiced art that takes

time and effort to master. All you need to do to achieve this is to stop and

switch roles with the customer. What would you want from your business if

you were the client? How would you want to be treated? Treat your

customers like your friends and they'll always come back.

CHAPTER-II
INDUSTRY PROFILE

In India, there are so many companies, which manufacture IT

Products. The main competitors of HCL are around 5 companies, which

manufacture IT Products. They are as under:

 DELL

 SONY

 SAMSUNG

 LENOVO

 APPLE

Over years competition has increased considerably with

mushrooming of several manufactures in every state consequently resulting

in pressure on profitability.

HCL infosys Limited has introduced completely self-protected

Products again as a part of strategy to fight competition and obtained a

sizable share of market.

22
Company profile:

At a time when India had a total of just 250 computers, Shiv Nadar, the
founder of HCL, led a young team of eight people who passionately believed
in the growth of the IT industry. That vision in 1976, born out of a Delhi
“barsaati”, (akin to a garage start-up), resulted three and a half decades later
into a global transformational technology enterprise.

Over the years, HCL witnessed many firsts which legitimized its status as a
pioneer in modern computing providing innovative technology solutions. The
most significant of these was the development of the first indigenous micro-

23
computer in 1978 - at the same time as Apple and three years before IBM's
PC. This micro-computer virtually gave birth to the Indian computer industry.
The 80's saw HCL developing several know-hows in multiple areas of
technology. HCL's in-depth knowledge of UNIX led to the development of a
fine grained multi-processor UNIX in 1988 - three years ahead of Sun and
HP.

HCL’s journey of 35 years has been truly transformational with the enterprise
creating valuable Joint Ventures and alliances with marquee partners such as
Hewlett Packard, Cisco, Perot Systems, Deutsche Bank and NEC
Corporation, amongst others, to drive strategic growth.

After a strong focus on manufacturing for over two decades, HCL


Technologies was spun off as the software services and information
technology company of the enterprise, with listing in 1999.

Presently, HCL Enterprise comprises two companies listed in India, HCL


Technologies (www.hcltech.com) and HCL Infosystems
(www.hclinfosystems.in). Over a period of time, both HCL Infosystems and
HCL Technologies have emerged as institutions in their own right with HCL
Technologies emerging as a leading software development company in the IT
services sector.

Today, HCL is a $6.2 billion leading global technology and IT enterprise


comprising two companies listed in India - HCL Technologies and HCL
Infosystems. Founded in 1976, HCL is one of India's original IT garage start-
ups. A pioneer of modern computing, today, HCL is a global transformational
outsourcing company. Its range of offerings includes product engineering,
custom & package applications, BPO, IT infrastructure services, IT hardware,
systems integration, and distribution of information and communications

24
technology (ICT) products across a wide range of focused industry verticals.
The HCL team consists of over 95,000 professionals of diverse nationalities,
who operate from 26 countries including over 500 points of presence in India.

HCL Infosystems has a long standing history of being involved ever since the
inception of the IT Industry in the country. When government was seeking
collaboration, HCL Infosystems were one of the first to partner in laying
down the IT infrastructure in India from something as basic as introducing a
computer in the remotest part of the country. In a developing country like
ours where we are leapfrogging to match the pace of developed global
economies, ICT is rapidly becoming the core of any intelligent infrastructure
and HCL Infosystems has developed customised & efficient system
integration solutions designed to fuel the Indian growth engine. With
relentless efforts to fuel the PC market, HCL Infosystems has been acting as a
catalyst for affordable & economical computing.

Today HCL Infosystems has become one of the leading System Integration
Company in the country, implementing several turnkey Systems and
Networking Integration projects nationwide and across most of the vertical
business segments. HCL Infosystems is uniquely poised today in the market
making it the only company with India as its primary focus, offering state of
the art technology solutions to empower a host of Defence, Homeland
Security frameworks, social sectors and government schemes for Nation
building. HCL Infosystems has being powering numerous projects across
sectors like Defence, Homeland Security, Airport & Railways Intelligent
Infrastructure, Telecom, Banking, Public Distribution System, E-governance,
Education, NREGA etc. With global expansion and sharing best practices
with the world and in particular developing markets, the company is today
strategically expanding in markets like Middle East, Southeast Asia and

25
Africa. The company has developed more than 30 IP products to serve
different segments of the markets backed by various hardware and software
services.

HCL today has India's largest vertically integrated computer manufacturing


facility with over three decades of electronic manufacturing experience &
HCL desktops is the largest selling brand into the enterprise space. With
India’s largest ICT services network that reaches to every corner of India,
HCL’s award winning Support Services makes it the preferred choice of
enterprise and consumers alike. HCL Infosystems has a 100% subsidiary that
addresses the physical security technology system integration market. The
subsidiary leverages technology to build a security framework called ‘Safe
State’ that safe guard’s life, infrastructure & society.

LITERATURE REVIEW

Doing the survey, it was really an opportunity before me when I could


convert my theoretical knowledge into practical and of real world type.
Fortunately, the company I got is a true follower of the various principles of
management and also one of the leading companies in its segment of the
industry. HCL Infosystems Ltd is one of the renowned names in the Software
and Hardware sector of computer industry.

The graph of sales of these respective product lines is the best in the industry
as compared to their competitors. I did my summer training project at HCL
Infosystem, where I found all the professionals are very much committed to
their work as well as they were all professionals enough. This helped me a lot
in getting a good deal of exposure. As I had to consult the Channel partners, I
felt myself, in the beginning, in a bit problem. But the cooperation of my
superiors at the work induced confidence in me to deal with my problems
whenever they came.

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 organizations
products. Because satisfaction is basically a psychological state, care should

34
be taken in the effort of quantitative measurement. 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. The basis for the measurement of customer
satisfaction is by using the gap between the customers expectation of
performance and their perceived experience of performance. This provides
the measurer with a satisfaction "gap" which is objective and quantitative in
nature customer satisfaction equals perception of performance divided by
expectation of performance. Marketers in recent times have realized the
importance of marketing orientation, and this is being reflected in the
application of marketing mix elements. Consumer’s needs are fundamental to
the formulation of any marketing strategy, from developing a communication
plan. It may be worthwhile to explore the intricate aspects of Customer
satisfaction level which focuses on ‘consumer needs’. These concepts enable
marketers to analyze the acceptability of strategies planned by them.
Even though we cannot know everything that is to be known, we do need
some in depth knowledge about the consumers, starting with who is he. Is
there a real Indian customer or there is a set of stereotype. All the
conventional wisdom in market research tends to favor the view that that
there are distinct types, and we need to isolate them according to some
parameter and label them. Customer satisfaction as the key element for
success in business is a major concern for any industry. In this paper I have
tried to propose a how customer satisfaction level can affect the performance
of an organization. Customer satisfaction, a business term, is a measure of
how products and services supplied by a company meet or surpass customer

35
expectation. It is seen as a key performance indicator within business and is
part of the four perspectives of a Balanced Scorecard. In a competitive
marketplace where businesses compete for customers, customer satisfaction
is seen as a key differentiator and increasingly has become a key element of
business strategy. There is a substantial body of empirical literature that
establishes the benefits of customer satisfaction for firms. Measuring
customer satisfaction 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. Selecting Target
Market A review of marketing opportunities often helps in identifying
distinct consumer segments with very distinct wants and needs. Identifying
these groups, learning how they behave and how they make their purchase
decisions enables the marketer to design and market products or services
particularly suited for their wants and needs.

all of them equally which results in increasing discontentment among new channel
partners because its not possible for company to support all of them equally. Company

increasing with tremendously fast pace.

 Proper attention should be paid for advertisement planning otherwise it may lead to
problem for dealer as well as for company.

 Company should tie up with some event management company to organize various
promotional activities like canopy, Carnival.

 Company should make policy for fixed end user price for all dealers so that fair game
will be played & dealer would not to compromise on their margin.
