3.1 Customer Satisfaction – Meaning

CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
Introduction:
Satisfaction is a persons feelings of pleasure or disappointment resulting from comparing a products perceived performance (or outcome) in relation to his or her expectations.
Many companies are aiming for high satisfaction because customers who are just satisfied still find it easy suits when better offer comes along. Those who are highly satisfied are much less ready to switch high satisfaction or delight credits an emotional dignity with the brand, not just a relational preference. The result is high customer loyalty. Their expectations are influenced by their past buying experience, friends and associated advice, marketers, competitors’ information and promises. If marketers raise expectations too high, the buyer is to be disappointed.
Definition:
“Satisfaction is a function of perceived performance and expectations. If the performance falls short of the expectations the customer is satisfied. If the performance matches the expectations the customer is satisfied. If the performance exceeds expectations the customer is highly satisfied or delighted.”
Cautions in measuring customer satisfaction:
When customer rates their satisfaction with an element of the
company’s performance, the delivery company needs to recognize that how
Advanced Management College, Bangalore

the customer defines the good delivery. This could mean an early delivery,
on time delivery, order completeness and so on. Yet the company had to
spell out every element in detail, customer would face a huge questionnaire.
The company must also realize that two customers can report being highly
satisfied for different reason.
Companies should also know that mangers and sales people can
manipulate their ratings on customer satisfaction. They can be especially
nice to customers just before the survey. Another danger is company will go
out of the way to please to customer; some customers may express high
satisfaction classification (even satisfied) in order to receive more
concessions.
Delivering customer value and satisfaction value chain:
The value chain as a tool for identifying ways to create more
customer value, every firm has a collection of activities that are performed to
design, produce market deliver and support it products. The value chain
identifies nine strategically relevant activities. This nine value creating
activity consists of five primary activities and four support activities.
The primary activities represent the sequence of bringing materials
into the business. Converting them into final products, shipping out final
products, marketing them and providing service. The support activities

procurement, technology development, human resource management and
firm infrastructure.
Value – delivering network:
To be successful the firms also need to look for competitive advantage
beyond its own operations, into the value chain of its suppliers, distributors
and customers. Many companies today have partnered with specific
suppliers and distributors to create a superior value delivery network
Attracting and retaining customers:
In addition to attracting the new customers and retaining the existing customers many companies are intent on developing stronger bonds and loyalty in the supply chain
