As we all know customers are the core of any business in one way or the other. Without our customers, we would be nothing. So, it would be a wise decision to make sure all of our customers are properly taken care of and satisfied when they do business with us. Listed below are ten ways we can begin to secure our customers happiness and satisfaction. 1. Always be attentive towards the customer. Be sure to listen to them when they tell you what they want or of any problems they are having with your products and/or services. Never dismiss their opinions or questions. 2. Reward regular customers and new potential customers. I like to treat my regular customers but be sure not to neglect potential and new customers. They deserve special treatment as well. Offer special discounts, free gifts, points towards more free gifts, coupons, money-saving bundles or packages, etc. The more options you provide, the more sales you will probably get. 3. Respect your customers! I cannot stress this one enough. Treat your customers, one and all, like they were your family. Give them all the respect and care they need from you and then some. 4. Earn their trust and respect! If you promise something, deliver! If you say you will give them a special deal, deliver. Always be true to your word and do not make false claims or promises. People are not stupid and they will see through deceptive marketing practices. 5. The customer is always right. Unfortunately this is not true. The customer is sometimes wrong and in that case, you should handle it properly. Be calm, polite, supportive and helpful. Explain the problem and let the customer know what you will do to rectify the situation. Your calm demeanor can sometimes calm the customer. Never lose control of your emotions.

6. Don't make your customers feel like an annoyance. I have been to some places where the person taking care of me has acted like he/she didn't want me there. This is not how you want your customers to feel! Talk to your customers, not at them. Smile and be friendly and courteous at all times. Just because your kids are acting up that day, it is no reason to take it out on your customers. Always separate your business from your problems in your own life. 7. Don't make your customers jump through hoops! Make their experience with you and your business as easy and pleasant as possible. Don't make them write their life history or click a million times to get through your ordering process. Let them know the prices and any shipping and/or taxes upfront. Make sure they know exactly what to expect.

8. Answer questions. Customers need to know what they are buying so be sure you are able to answer any and all questions they may have. If you do not have the answer readily available, assure them that you will find out the answer ASAP. Make sure they know how to contact you so they are more comfortable in your availability. 9. Build confidence. Your customers need to be confident in you and what you offer so be sure to come through. Be straightforward and do not offer anything you cannot give. Be honest at all times. Do not try to sugarcoat things by stretching or twisting the truth. Customers will appreciate honesty and their confidence in you and your business will soar. 10. A bad customer? Is there such a thing as a bad customer? Unfortunately there is. With some people, no matter what you to do try to make amends or make them happy, it just won't be enough. All you can do with these customers is treat them with respect; be polite and let them know you will do anything you can to help. Even so, there are times when you just have to let a customer go. After doing everything you can with no end in sight, politely inform the customer they should perhaps go elsewhere to find what they are looking for. I have had to do this a couple of times in the five years I have had my ebook store. The first time really upset me but when I came to grips with it and went over everything I did, I realized I could not have done anything more for this person. Do not let this interfere with your business or get you frustrated or depressed; it does happen. Satisfied customers are our best advertisements so be sure to treat them all as you would want to be treated. Customers are intelligent individuals and need to be regarded as such. Doing this will bring your business to new levels!

2- Customer Value & Satisfaction Posted: Sep 25, 2010 * Dr.Shanmukha Rao Padala ** Dr.N.V.S.Suryanarayana Consumers usually face a broad array of products and services that might satisfy a given need. How do they choose among these many marketing offers? Customers form expectations about the value and satisfaction that various marketing offers will deliver and buy accordingly. Satisfied customers buy again and tell others about their good experiences. Dissatisfied customers often switch to competitors and disparage the product to others.

Marketers must be careful to set the right level of expectation. If they set expectations too low, they may satisfy those who buy but fail to attract enough buyers. If they raise expectations too high, buyers will be disappointed. Customers value and customers satisfaction are key building blocks for developing and managing customer relationships. Satisfaction is defined as. "a persons feelings of pleasure or disappointment resulting from comparing a product's perceived performance (or outcome) in relation to his or her expectations". Customer satisfaction depends on a products perceived performance in delivering value relative to a buyers expectations. If the products performance falls short of the customers expectations, the buyer is dissatisfied. If performance matches expectations, the buyer is satisfied. If performance exceeds expectations, the buyer is delighted. Customer Relationship Management Customer relationship management (CRM) is perhaps the most important concept of modern marketing. Until recently, CRM has been defined narrowly as a customer data management activity. By this definition, it involves managing detailed information about individual customers and carefully managing customers "touch points" in order to maximize customer loyalty. More recently, however, customer relationship management has taken on a broader meaning. In this broader sense, Customer relationship management is the overall process of building and maintaining profitable customer relationships by delivering superior customer value and satisfaction. It deals with all aspects of acquiring, keeping, and growing customers. To over come such problems, many companies are now turning to customer relationship management (CRM) to manage detailed information about individual customers and carefully managed customer touch points in order to maximize customer loyalty. In recent years, there has been an explosion in the number of companies using CRM. U.S companies spent an estimated $ 42.8 billion last year on CRM systems from companies such as Siebel Systems, Oracle, Micro Soft and SAS and spending is expected to increase by 11.5% a year through 2007. CRM consists of sophisticated software and analytical tools that integrate customer information from all sources, analyze it in depth, and apply the results to build strong customer relationships. CRM integrate everything that company's sales, service, and marketing teams know about individual customers to provide a 360-degree view of the customer relationship. CRM analysts develop data warehouses and use sophisticated data mining techniques to unearth the riches hidden in customer data. A data warehouse is a company wide electronic data base of finely detailed customer information that needs to sifted through for gems.

The purpose of a data warehouse is not just to gather information, but to pull it together into central, accessible location. Then, once the data warehouse brings the data together, the company use high-powered data mining techniques to sift through the mounds of data and dig out interesting finding about customers. Such data systems can give a company a big competitive advantage. By using CRM to understand customers better, companies can provide high levels of customer service and develop deeper customer relationships. They can use CRM to point out high-value customers, target them more effectively, cross-sell the company's product, and create offers tailored to specific customer requirements. CRM benefits don't come without cost or risk, not only collecting the original customer data but maintaining and mining it. An estimated half or more of all CRM efforts fail to meet their objectives. The most common case of CRM failures is that companies mistakenly view CRM only as a technology and software solution. But technology alone cannot build profitable customer relationships. "CRM is not a technology solution-you can't achieve improved customer relationships by simply slapping in some software's ", says a CRM exports. Instead, CRM is just one part of an effective overall customer relationship management strategy. Benefits of CRM

4- The Costumer Service Satisfaction JSutherland Posted: Apr 11, 2011

A healthy business knows how to effectively cater to their customers in the general interest of business financial stability that is constantly intertwined with above average customer satisfaction. A good customer service satisfaction goal starts with the knowledge of the customers' needs, how these needs are satisfied and how both the giving and receiving end benefit from this knowledge. Customer Satisfaction is a cycle that gradually changes over time. And as needs change, the demands increase and the current delivery of the service is reassessed, each cycle creates strategies on how to increasingly satisfy customers. Sales are the most common indicator of satisfaction. A high sales average means good customer satisfaction. Accurately stating, the highest overall indicator of true customer satisfaction is retention and exclusive patronage. The key here is to have a good business-to-customer relationship based on rapport and all-out support. Through face to face interviews, the level of customer satisfaction may be measured. This can be done when a customer walks out of the store or office or has just had firsthand experience of a product or service. A customer-oriented business has a detailed and easy to grasp FAQ service. "Frequently Asked Questions" generate the most traffic in Customer Support. FAQ lessens the work of customer service representatives by providing answers to possible queries beforehand. However if there are queries that a customer cannot find an answer to, they may use the technical support service of the business. For immediate support to customer concerns, calls may be made to inbound call centers or a schedule may be set for an outbound call to the customer. For customers who don't require a timely solution to their concerns, an e-mail support service is also an option. Various methods are made available to address customer needs to ensure that they are attended to in the manner that is most convenient to them. Escalation management can be considered the hardest task in a customer support system. These are high risk calls with more often than not irate customers. In escalation management, there is an appropriate authority to receive all complaints and interactions. First, there must be a detailed review of the incident. The complaint is then subjected to existing policies for resolution. The goal is to handle the problem quickly, effectively and in the least stressful way possible. A confirmation that the issue has been resolved is always a standard practice. All interactions must be well recorded/documented to minimize liability, provide detailed information and to formulate efficient solutions for prevention of such incidents. In all businesses, customer satisfaction is a priority. Their patronage provides the life-blood to all business ventures. All customer-related issues are treated seriously no matter the frequency of

the complaint because nothing is more important than to keep customers happy. A good business & customer relationship results in higher customer patience, a solid business image and business permanence. Customers FIRST! Everything else follows; happy customers lead to higher gains, happy customers improve credibility and happy customers keep the business thriving.

In all businesses, there is a common belief that others even ask their employees to memorize. This is "customers are always right". When this is forgotten in the process of fixing problems with customers, level of customer satisfaction is affected negatively.

6- Customers Satisfaction
Alice Posted: May 31, 2011

Customers' satisfactions are directly related to the clients' motivation and satisfactions in this case, it is of importance to improve the satisfactions of the employees in a company. On this basis, customers usually come into direct contacts with the clients and hence how they are treated in terms of services rendered will determine their purchasing power. From this case study, employees are not satisfied with the way they are treated within the company and have directed their dissatisfactions to the customers. Employees' satisfaction is a management practice and hence should be carried out by the management of this company. Below is a guideline on how to improve the clients' service in Dalkeiths Company (Allen & Wilburn 103). Importantly, employees should be shown attention by appreciating their work in an organization or a company. According to Cole (203), employees in any organization should be well motivated and satisfied in order to increase their capability in serving the customers. In this case, when employees are not well motivated or are nor satisfied with the treatment they receive in this company, they will not be willing to serve customers which will lead to loss of new and old customers in a company. In this relation, from the case study, the employees were not recognized as essential assets in the company which resulted to low purchases in the company (Cole 203). According to Topolosky (98), the employers or the management in the Dalkeiths Company need to respect every employee in this company. On this basis, employees should be considered as very essential in business success and hence should be treated with every aspect of respect. In this case, when employees are shown respect in their work they will feel valued and appreciated

in the company and hence will treat the customers in a respectful manner. By doing this, customers will feel satisfied with the services they receive from the clients hence they will increase their purchases. Importantly, when employees are shown respect they will feel needed and paid attention for and hence they will be satisfied with their job (Topolosky 98).

Additionally, the Dalkeiths Company should come up with clear, concise and consistent communication where the employees are informed on the company's position, progress and challenges. It should be noted that, communication is a very important tool in employees' motivation. In this case, employees should be informed on how they are contributing to the success of the company and how they can improve their work. Most importantly, through concise communication employers will show that they appreciate and need advice as well as expertise of the employees. In this case, employees will be made to feel that their existence in the work place is being appreciated and respected. Basically, when employees have done something positive they should be informed in order to know that they are always expected to do positive things within the company. As indicated by Kuballa (23), it is very essential for employers to know their employees and create a team. In this case, the employers of the Dalkeiths Company should spend time in instilling trust and accountability to the employees. In this case, there should be laying out of clear expectations as well as securing their commitment in the company. In creating a team, the employer should eliminate the thinking of disrespect and not appreciated among the employees and instead build a culture of working together to meet challenges and build up new advantages for the common goal of all. When this is done, employees will feel that their expertise and advices are needed in the company and hence they will be motivated to treat and serve their customers very well (Kuballa 23). From the words of Allen and Wilburn (103), employees should be provided with the necessary education and coaching that will assist them to understand that their success and readiness are of great interest to the employers. On this basis, employees should be trained, educated and mentored in order to increase their skills as far as the company is concerned. For example in the Dalkeiths Company, employees should be educated and trained on how to handle customers and the means of transporting products to them. Basically, training and educating employees helps in indicating to them that they are considered as someone who could bring into the company a positive fame as a result of their hard work and successes (Allen and Wilburn (103).

7- Thesis: Fundamental Theory on Customer Satisfaction Brian John Posted: Sep 19, 2011

An individual's personality, while highly complex to define, can be comprehended by developing an understanding of the prime factors that influence its development (Kusluvan 2003). Generally these factors are taken to be based on the individual's perceptions, emotions and subsequent behavior (Kusluvan 2003). What establishes these factors as the key contributors to the development of a personality is the fact that the role they play is consistent and often shows a pattern in its cause-and-effect occurrence (Keiningham and Vavra 2001). Since these elements can be observed best when they are in play, it is apparent that it is during an interaction that the individual's personality makes an impact. This brings us to the aspect that not all individuals can be expected to have the mix of perceptions, emotions and behavioral trends required for a position (Kusluvan 2003). There may be cases where the individual is required to exercise emotional labor but harbors an introverted personality in which behavior is limited; which would make the candidate unsuitable for that position. Customer satisfaction in the service industry is one that is reliant on employee satisfaction. This is because of the fact that an employee working in the service industry cannot function adequately without interacting with the customer at one point or the other (Kusluvan 2003). In many causes, the interaction with an employee is the only time a consumer comes into interaction with any personnel of the service at all (Brotherton 2003). In that often brief moment of interaction, it is normal for the customer to make conscious or subconscious judgments about the commitment that the organization has to the provision of quality service to the consumer (Cook, Yale and Marqua 2006). Along with this, the customer also tends to evaluate the attitude and behavior of an employee and it is at that point that the employee becomes more than a representative of the company to the consumer (Kusluvan 2003). To the consumer, the employee becomes the physical incarnation of the company. The employee, in this regard, comes into play as a key determinant of the customer's satisfaction and eventual loyalty to the service provider. This is just a sample thesis paper.

Customer satisfaction is tied directly to profitability. If your customers are happy they tend to be loyal. If they're loyal they not only buy more, they refer other customers. Wellestablished research by Bain & Company found that, for many companies, an increase of 5% in customer retention can increase profits by 25% to 95%. The same study found that it costs six to seven times more to gain a new customer than to keep an existing one. Moreover, one bad experience can outweigh a whole lot of good experiences. Because of email and social media, that bad experience can quickly be broadcast to dozens, hundreds, or thousands of other customers, magnifying its impact. So if your business is doing something that frustrates customers, you need to know right away. It is critical to give customers the opportunity to provide feedback about their overall satisfaction level and specific likes and dislikes. It is equally important to consistently measure and monitor that input. Without an effective customer satisfaction research program in place, your company will be losing business, missing opportunities, and putting itself at a competitive disadvantage. Many companies wonder how frequently they should conduct customer satisfaction surveys. The answer depends on the size of the customer base and the purpose of the research. There are two key types of surveys, and they serve very different purposes: - Transactional surveys solicit feedback directly from the product or service user about that particular encounter. They are conducted immediately after each customer transaction. For example, a survey may be administered after a call center experience. - Relationship surveys collect input from people who have an ongoing relationship with the company and have had multiple transactions. They are regularly scheduled surveys, often quarterly. The respondents typically are responsible for deciding whether to continue the working relationship. Transactional surveys are sent out at the discretion of whoever has contact with customers - but the data should be collected immediately after the interaction while the experience is still fresh in the customer's mind. Relationship surveys should be spread out over the course of a year. Here are a couple of points to keep in mind: - If there is only one data point for each year, a single event could have a large impact on results

- For companies with a sufficiently large customer base - at least 10,000 - relationship surveys can be conducted on a continuous basis but reported on a monthly basis to address the effects of seasonality or single events In many cases conducting both transactional and relationship surveys may be appropriate. For example, a company may conduct transactional research for customer service purposes and relationship research for routine checkups on the health of the business.
