CHAPTER 1
CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK ON CUSTOMER SATISFACTION ON AIRTEL
SEVICES

INTRDUCTION TO CUSTOMER SATISFACTION:
Customer satisfaction is a business term which is used to capture the idea of
measuring how satisfied an enterprise’s customers are with the organizations
efforts in a market place.
Every organization has customers of some kind. The organization provides
products (goods and /or services) of some kind to its customers through the
mechanism of a market place. The products the organization provides are
subject to competition whether by similar products or by substitution of
products.
The reason an organization is interested in the satisfaction of its customers
because the organization is interested in retaining its existing customers and
increasing the number of its customers.
Customer satisfaction is an ambiguous and abstract concept. The satisfaction
level varies from person to person. The state of satisfaction depends on a
number of both psychological and physical variables. 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 it is a difficult thing to
measure quantitatively. In other words there are no units of satisfaction that
have been defined. The usual measures of customers satisfaction involve a
survey instrument with a set of statements using a liker technique or scale the
9
customers is asked to evaluate each statement and the select from a scale who
much the customer agrees or disagrees with the statement .
Customer service:
customer service is the provision of labour and other resources, for the purpose
of increasing the value that buyers receive from their purchases and from the
processes leading up to the purchase, with the rising dominance of the service
sector in the global economy, customer service has grown in importance, as its
impact on individuals . Households, firms, and societies have become
widespread.
A company can outperform rivals only if it can establish a difference that it can
preserve, customer service can be such a difference. It is very difficult to control
.and therefore difficult to imitate. It is difficult to control because of its
variability. The level of service may vary greatly between two providers in the
same organization. It may also vary from one moment to another, even as
delivered by the same provider. The difficulty is compounded in multi unit
operations: in addition to variability within units, there is also variability among
units.
That is both the challenge and the opportunity. The consistent delivery of
superior service requires the careful design and execution of a whole system of
activities that includes people, technology, and processes. The few companies
that can manage this system do stand out, and are sought out, and are sought
out, and are sought out. This is the foundation of their sustainable competitive
advantage.
10
Customers chum:
Chum is the gross rate of customer loss during a given period. Chum can be
shown as follows:
Monthly chum = (co+ AI-CI) C0
Where: CO = Number of customer at the start of the month
CI = Number of customers at the end of the month
AI = Gross new customers during the month
Chum rate is a measure of customer or employee attrition and is defined as the
number of customers who discontinue a service or employees who leave a
company during a specified time period divided by the average total number or
employees over that same time period.
For example, churn rate has been an ongoing concern of telephone and cell
phone services in areas where several companies compete and make it easy to
transfer from one services to another. Changes in a business chum rate can
provide feedback for a company as it may indicate customer response to
service, pricing, competition and so on, as well as the average length of time an
individual remains a customer.
The cellular industry has reached a critical juncture. Deregulation and domino
effects of price free –for-alls, high customer chum and the increasing
commoditization of services, together with the economic slowdown and
consequent budget cuts, have all taken their toll . Companies have risen to these
challenges through re-organization. Revision in management strategy,
downsizing, downsizing and Consolidations, buy global and national
competitive pressures are biting hard. They must dig deep to find business
11
solutions that offer the scalability nard flexibility to secure the roots of their
future success.
Chum can be broken down into involuntary churn, where the carrier cuts off
service, oftentimes due to repeated non-payment of invoices, and voluntary
chum, where the customer chooses to disconnect service. While eliminating
unprofitable customers is an important goal for carriers, this project focuses on
voluntary chum and how it can be more effectively managed. Chum
management can be defined as the process of finding potential customers who
are considering leaving and then preventing them from churning. The purpose
of chum management is to minimize the loss due to subscribers and to
maximize profits by retaining a stable and profitable customer base.
Teledensity:
The number of landline telephones in use for every 100 individuals living
within an area. A teledensity greater than 100means there are more telephone
than people. The teledensity rate is the number of telephones per 100people in a
region.

NEED OF THE STUDY:
This project focuses mainly to know how important is the customer service for a
business to exist and to know about the marketing and management skills that
are necessary in this present scenario for any organization’s growth. This survey
is mainly based on satisfaction levels of Airtel customers. Feedback is taken
from the customer on visiting the Airtel outlets about their experience visiting to
these outlets is collected by the help of questionnaires.
One of the major problems in an organisation is Customer Satisfaction. In the
era of relationship marketing customers feelings and his satisfaction derived
from the service he is using plays a very important role in an organisation.
Being an oligopoly service sector the Telecom service sector has a tough
completion. Airtel faces tough completion from Vodafone, Idea and BSNL.
Airtel mainly focuses on sale of its services with a better customer service for
increasing its brand loyalty and having a good network with its customers for its
success. For the betterment of its service airtel service sector also takes
feedback from its customers on visiting the showroom. To be successful today’s
companies must be dynamic, constantly evolving and adjusting to the ever
changing market conditions.
14
SCOPE OF THE STUDY:
As we know that very well that Airtel is the market leader among private sector
players in Indian Telecom Industry so, there is huge pressure upon the company
to retain its position in the market. Airtel is facing several changes from its
competitors mainly MTNL, Reliance and Tata Indicom. More over the main
challenge is to retain the present customer base and try to increase it by
providing them better service at affordable price.
This project will help the company to know its market reputation.
As this project mainly deals with the consumer perception about Airtel
and its competitors. The organisation may utilize this work to focus it
customer with greater perfection.
By using this project the organization may find some remedy, if there
will be any sort of dissatisfaction about the service amongst the
customers.
