CHAPTER-1

INTRODUCTION

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

Customer satisfaction a business term is a measure of how products and

services supplied by a company meet customer 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

Customer satisfaction is the important statement of the problem in this

project

Measuring customer satisfaction

Customer satisfaction refers to the extent to which customers are happy with the

products and services provided by a business Customer satisfaction levels can

be measured using survey techniques and questionnaires Gaining high levels of

customer satisfaction is very important to a business because satisfied customers

are most likely to be loyal and to make repeat orders and to use a wide range of

services offered by a business

REVIW OF LITRATURE

Customer Satisfaction

Customer satisfaction is the key to success getting our customers to tell you

whatrsquos good about your product or services and where you need improvement

It helps you to ensure that your businesses measure up to their expectations The

attached file contains a customer satisfaction survey from designed to make it

easy for customer to fill out and to fill and to make it easy for you to quickly

customize to exactly match your companyrsquos activities It also includes

suggestion for distributing the form ensuring that customer will return the form

and following up on comments

Customerrsquos satisfaction defined

The reason for a business firm to come into being is the existence of customer

who has unfilled needs and wants Customer satisfaction ha been

conceptualized in several ways It consists of expectations performance

interaction pleasured or displeasure and the evaluation of the benefits of

consumption

Customer satisfaction is result of confirmation of expectation Bajaj has been

focusing on the improvement and Excellency in the processes which it uses to

satisfy there to accomplish this it has focused on improving customer-

orientation and value chain integration Thus meeting the expectation of the

customer

Components of customer satisfaction dissatisfaction

Purchase ProcessIt refers to the actions of the customers in buying the

product Could he find product easily

8

Did he have to travel for to buy Whether proper quantities were available

Was sufficient information available

Obviously for a manufacture that exercises strong control over his distribution

channel any measurement of consumerrsquos satisfaction should include this

component

Bajaj has always been focusing on network expansion

Decision

It refers to the extent to which the customer thinks about correctness of his

decision with regard to satisfaction Apart from the product of the process the

customer might have regret about one component which would affect other

components consumers to action they must gain their attention

CHAPTER-2

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

DEFFINATION OF RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Cocotte Woodruff and Jenkins (1987) define customer satisfaction as

conceptualized as a feeling developed from an evaluation of the experience

HERE the timing of satisfaction response is driving consumption

But there is general agreement with Kotler (2003) that customer

satisfaction is a persons feeling of pleasure or disappointment resulting from

comparing a products perceived performance in relation to his or her

expectation In short customer satisfaction is The provision of goods or

services which fulfil the customer expectation in terms of quality and service in

relation to price paid

RESEARCH DESIGN

for the purpose of understanding andor predicting some aspects of the

behaviour of the population of interest It is the most common method of

collecting primary data for marketing decisions Survey research is

survey research must be concerned with sampling questionnaire design

questionnaire administration and data analysis The administration of

questionnaire to an individual or group of individuals is called an interview A

questionnaire is simply a formalized set of questions for eliciting information

As such its function is measurement andit represents the most common form of

measurement in marketing research The report has been prepared as per the

information obtained from two sources They are

12

IMPORTANCE OF THE RESEARCH

It costs at least 7 times more to source a new customer than it does to

retain existing one a satisfied customer tells 5-7 people in a year whilst a

dissatisfied customer will tell 14-15 people

Companies can boost profits anywhere from 25 to 125 by retaining a

mere 5 more of their existing customers

Totally satisfied customers were 6 times more likely to use that services

and commend it than satisfied customers

Customers who have a bad experience with you and do not complain are

only 37 likely to still do business with you

Customers who have an opportunity to complain and the complaint is

achieved are 95 likely to still do business with you

CHAPTER-1

INTRODUCTION

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

Customer satisfaction a business term is a measure of how products and

services supplied by a company meet customer 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

Customer satisfaction is the important statement of the problem in this

project

Measuring customer satisfaction

Customer satisfaction refers to the extent to which customers are happy with the

products and services provided by a business Customer satisfaction levels can

be measured using survey techniques and questionnaires Gaining high levels of

customer satisfaction is very important to a business because satisfied customers

are most likely to be loyal and to make repeat orders and to use a wide range of

services offered by a business

7

REVIW OF LITRATURE

Customer Satisfaction

Customer satisfaction is the key to success getting our customers to tell you

whatrsquos good about your product or services and where you need improvement

It helps you to ensure that your businesses measure up to their expectations The

attached file contains a customer satisfaction survey from designed to make it

easy for customer to fill out and to fill and to make it easy for you to quickly

customize to exactly match your companyrsquos activities It also includes

suggestion for distributing the form ensuring that customer will return the form

and following up on comments

Customerrsquos satisfaction defined

The reason for a business firm to come into being is the existence of customer

who has unfilled needs and wants Customer satisfaction ha been

conceptualized in several ways It consists of expectations performance

interaction pleasured or displeasure and the evaluation of the benefits of

consumption

Customer satisfaction is result of confirmation of expectation Bajaj has been

focusing on the improvement and Excellency in the processes which it uses to

satisfy there to accomplish this it has focused on improving customer-

orientation and value chain integration Thus meeting the expectation of the

customer

Components of customer satisfaction dissatisfaction

Purchase ProcessIt refers to the actions of the customers in buying the

product Could he find product easily

8

Did he have to travel for to buy Whether proper quantities were available

Was sufficient information available

Obviously for a manufacture that exercises strong control over his distribution

channel any measurement of consumerrsquos satisfaction should include this

component

Bajaj has always been focusing on network expansion

Decision

It refers to the extent to which the customer thinks about correctness of his

decision with regard to satisfaction Apart from the product of the process the

customer might have regret about one component which would affect other

components consumers to action they must gain their attention

CHAPTER-2

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

DEFFINATION OF RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Cocotte Woodruff and Jenkins (1987) define customer satisfaction as

conceptualized as a feeling developed from an evaluation of the experience

HERE the timing of satisfaction response is driving consumption

But there is general agreement with Kotler (2003) that customer

satisfaction is a persons feeling of pleasure or disappointment resulting from

comparing a products perceived performance in relation to his or her

expectation In short customer satisfaction is The provision of goods or

services which fulfil the customer expectation in terms of quality and service in

relation to price paid

RESEARCH DESIGN

for the purpose of understanding andor predicting some aspects of the

behaviour of the population of interest It is the most common method of

collecting primary data for marketing decisions Survey research is

survey research must be concerned with sampling questionnaire design

questionnaire administration and data analysis The administration of

questionnaire to an individual or group of individuals is called an interview A

questionnaire is simply a formalized set of questions for eliciting information

As such its function is measurement andit represents the most common form of

measurement in marketing research The report has been prepared as per the

information obtained from two sources They are

12

IMPORTANCE OF THE RESEARCH

It costs at least 7 times more to source a new customer than it does to

retain existing one a satisfied customer tells 5-7 people in a year whilst a

dissatisfied customer will tell 14-15 people

Companies can boost profits anywhere from 25 to 125 by retaining a

mere 5 more of their existing customers

Totally satisfied customers were 6 times more likely to use that services

and commend it than satisfied customers

Customers who have a bad experience with you and do not complain are

only 37 likely to still do business with you

Customers who have an opportunity to complain and the complaint is

achieved are 95 likely to still do business with you

SUGGESTIONS CONCLUSION AND BIBLIOGRAPHY

SUGGETIONS

In case of addressing the customers Channamma Bajaj should ensure that

the sales persons explain the details of the bike to the customers because

24 of the respondents are unhappy

Channamma Bajaj should also ensure that the bikes given for servicing

are delivered in time

To increase the awareness regarding maintainance of bike the dealer

CHAPTER-1

INTRODUCTION

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

Customer satisfaction a business term is a measure of how products and

services supplied by a company meet customer 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

Customer satisfaction is the important statement of the problem in this

project

Measuring customer satisfaction

Customer satisfaction refers to the extent to which customers are happy with the

products and services provided by a business Customer satisfaction levels can

be measured using survey techniques and questionnaires Gaining high levels of

customer satisfaction is very important to a business because satisfied customers

are most likely to be loyal and to make repeat orders and to use a wide range of

services offered by a business

7

REVIW OF LITRATURE

Customer Satisfaction

Customer satisfaction is the key to success getting our customers to tell you

whatrsquos good about your product or services and where you need improvement

It helps you to ensure that your businesses measure up to their expectations The

attached file contains a customer satisfaction survey from designed to make it

easy for customer to fill out and to fill and to make it easy for you to quickly

customize to exactly match your companyrsquos activities It also includes

suggestion for distributing the form ensuring that customer will return the form

and following up on comments

Customerrsquos satisfaction defined

The reason for a business firm to come into being is the existence of customer

who has unfilled needs and wants Customer satisfaction ha been

conceptualized in several ways It consists of expectations performance

interaction pleasured or displeasure and the evaluation of the benefits of

consumption

Customer satisfaction is result of confirmation of expectation Bajaj has been

focusing on the improvement and Excellency in the processes which it uses to

satisfy there to accomplish this it has focused on improving customer-

orientation and value chain integration Thus meeting the expectation of the

customer

Components of customer satisfaction dissatisfaction

Purchase ProcessIt refers to the actions of the customers in buying the

product Could he find product easily

8

Did he have to travel for to buy Whether proper quantities were available

Was sufficient information available

Obviously for a manufacture that exercises strong control over his distribution

channel any measurement of consumerrsquos satisfaction should include this

component

Bajaj has always been focusing on network expansion

Decision

It refers to the extent to which the customer thinks about correctness of his

decision with regard to satisfaction Apart from the product of the process the

customer might have regret about one component which would affect other

components consumers to action they must gain their attention

9

CHAPTER-2

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

DEFFINATION OF RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Cocotte Woodruff and Jenkins (1987) define customer satisfaction as

conceptualized as a feeling developed from an evaluation of the experience

HERE the timing of satisfaction response is driving consumption

But there is general agreement with Kotler (2003) that customer

satisfaction is a persons feeling of pleasure or disappointment resulting from

comparing a products perceived performance in relation to his or her

expectation In short customer satisfaction is The provision of goods or

services which fulfil the customer expectation in terms of quality and service in

relation to price paid

RESEARCH DESIGN

for the purpose of understanding andor predicting some aspects of the

behaviour of the population of interest It is the most common method of

collecting primary data for marketing decisions Survey research is

concerned with administration of questionnaires (interviewing) The

survey research must be concerned with sampling questionnaire design

questionnaire administration and data analysis The administration of

questionnaire to an individual or group of individuals is called an interview A

questionnaire is simply a formalized set of questions for eliciting information

As such its function is measurement andit represents the most common form of

measurement in marketing research The report has been prepared as per the

information obtained from two sources They are

12

IMPORTANCE OF THE RESEARCH

It costs at least 7 times more to source a new customer than it does to

retain existing one a satisfied customer tells 5-7 people in a year whilst a

dissatisfied customer will tell 14-15 people

Companies can boost profits anywhere from 25 to 125 by retaining a

mere 5 more of their existing customers

Totally satisfied customers were 6 times more likely to use that services

and commend it than satisfied customers

Customers who have a bad experience with you and do not complain are

only 37 likely to still do business with you

Customers who have an opportunity to complain and the complaint is

achieved are 95 likely to still do business with you

SUGGESTIONS CONCLUSION AND BIBLIOGRAPHY

SUGGETIONS

In case of addressing the customers Channamma Bajaj should ensure that

the sales persons explain the details of the bike to the customers because

24 of the respondents are unhappy

Channamma Bajaj should also ensure that the bikes given for servicing

are delivered in time

CHAPTER-1

INTRODUCTION

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

Customer satisfaction a business term is a measure of how products and

services supplied by a company meet customer 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

Customer satisfaction is the important statement of the problem in this

project

Measuring customer satisfaction

Customer satisfaction refers to the extent to which customers are happy with the

products and services provided by a business Customer satisfaction levels can

be measured using survey techniques and questionnaires Gaining high levels of

customer satisfaction is very important to a business because satisfied customers

are most likely to be loyal and to make repeat orders and to use a wide range of

services offered by a business

REVIW OF LITRATURE

Customer Satisfaction

Customer satisfaction is the key to success getting our customers to tell you

whatrsquos good about your product or services and where you need improvement

It helps you to ensure that your businesses measure up to their expectations The

attached file contains a customer satisfaction survey from designed to make it

easy for customer to fill out and to fill and to make it easy for you to quickly

customize to exactly match your companyrsquos activities It also includes

suggestion for distributing the form ensuring that customer will return the form

and following up on comments

Customerrsquos satisfaction defined

The reason for a business firm to come into being is the existence of customer

who has unfilled needs and wants Customer satisfaction ha been

conceptualized in several ways It consists of expectations performance

interaction pleasured or displeasure and the evaluation of the benefits of

consumption

Customer satisfaction is result of confirmation of expectation Bajaj has been

focusing on the improvement and Excellency in the processes which it uses to

satisfy there to accomplish this it has focused on improving customer-

orientation and value chain integration Thus meeting the expectation of the

customer

Components of customer satisfaction dissatisfaction

Purchase ProcessIt refers to the actions of the customers in buying the

product Could he find product easily

8

Did he have to travel for to buy Whether proper quantities were available

Was sufficient information available

Obviously for a manufacture that exercises strong control over his distribution

channel any measurement of consumerrsquos satisfaction should include this

component

Bajaj has always been focusing on network expansion

Decision

It refers to the extent to which the customer thinks about correctness of his

decision with regard to satisfaction Apart from the product of the process the

customer might have regret about one component which would affect other

components consumers to action they must gain their attention

CHAPTER-2

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

DEFFINATION OF RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Cocotte Woodruff and Jenkins (1987) define customer satisfaction as

conceptualized as a feeling developed from an evaluation of the experience

HERE the timing of satisfaction response is driving consumption

But there is general agreement with Kotler (2003) that customer

satisfaction is a persons feeling of pleasure or disappointment resulting from

comparing a products perceived performance in relation to his or her

expectation In short customer satisfaction is The provision of goods or

services which fulfil the customer expectation in terms of quality and service in

relation to price paid

RESEARCH DESIGN

for the purpose of understanding andor predicting some aspects of the

behaviour of the population of interest It is the most common method of

collecting primary data for marketing decisions Survey research is

survey research must be concerned with sampling questionnaire design

questionnaire administration and data analysis The administration of

questionnaire to an individual or group of individuals is called an interview A

questionnaire is simply a formalized set of questions for eliciting information

As such its function is measurement andit represents the most common form of

measurement in marketing research The report has been prepared as per the

information obtained from two sources They are

IMPORTANCE OF THE RESEARCH

It costs at least 7 times more to source a new customer than it does to

retain existing one a satisfied customer tells 5-7 people in a year whilst a

dissatisfied customer will tell 14-15 people

Companies can boost profits anywhere from 25 to 125 by retaining a

mere 5 more of their existing customers

Totally satisfied customers were 6 times more likely to use that services

and commend it than satisfied customers

Customers who have a bad experience with you and do not complain are

only 37 likely to still do business with you

Customers who have an opportunity to complain and the complaint is

achieved are 95 likely to still do business with you

CHAPTER-1

INTRODUCTION

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

Customer satisfaction a business term is a measure of how products and

services supplied by a company meet customer 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

Customer satisfaction is the important statement of the problem in this

project

Measuring customer satisfaction

Customer satisfaction refers to the extent to which customers are happy with the

products and services provided by a business Customer satisfaction levels can

be measured using survey techniques and questionnaires Gaining high levels of

customer satisfaction is very important to a business because satisfied customers

are most likely to be loyal and to make repeat orders and to use a wide range of

services offered by a business

REVIW OF LITRATURE

Customer Satisfaction

Customer satisfaction is the key to success getting our customers to tell you

whatrsquos good about your product or services and where you need improvement

It helps you to ensure that your businesses measure up to their expectations The

attached file contains a customer satisfaction survey from designed to make it

easy for customer to fill out and to fill and to make it easy for you to quickly

customize to exactly match your companyrsquos activities It also includes

suggestion for distributing the form ensuring that customer will return the form

and following up on comments

Customerrsquos satisfaction defined

The reason for a business firm to come into being is the existence of customer

who has unfilled needs and wants Customer satisfaction ha been

conceptualized in several ways It consists of expectations performance

interaction pleasured or displeasure and the evaluation of the benefits of

consumption

Customer satisfaction is result of confirmation of expectation Bajaj has been

focusing on the improvement and Excellency in the processes which it uses to

satisfy there to accomplish this it has focused on improving customer-

orientation and value chain integration Thus meeting the expectation of the

customer

Components of customer satisfaction dissatisfaction

Purchase ProcessIt refers to the actions of the customers in buying the

product Could he find product easily

8

Did he have to travel for to buy Whether proper quantities were available

Was sufficient information available

Obviously for a manufacture that exercises strong control over his distribution

channel any measurement of consumerrsquos satisfaction should include this

component

Bajaj has always been focusing on network expansion

Decision

It refers to the extent to which the customer thinks about correctness of his

decision with regard to satisfaction Apart from the product of the process the

customer might have regret about one component which would affect other

components consumers to action they must gain their attention

CHAPTER-2

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

DEFFINATION OF RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Cocotte Woodruff and Jenkins (1987) define customer satisfaction as

conceptualized as a feeling developed from an evaluation of the experience

HERE the timing of satisfaction response is driving consumption

But there is general agreement with Kotler (2003) that customer

satisfaction is a persons feeling of pleasure or disappointment resulting from

comparing a products perceived performance in relation to his or her

expectation In short customer satisfaction is The provision of goods or

services which fulfil the customer expectation in terms of quality and service in

relation to price paid

RESEARCH DESIGN

for the purpose of understanding andor predicting some aspects of the

behaviour of the population of interest It is the most common method of

collecting primary data for marketing decisions Survey research is

concerned with administration of questionnaires (interviewing) The

survey research must be concerned with sampling questionnaire design

questionnaire administration and data analysis The administration of

questionnaire to an individual or group of individuals is called an interview A

questionnaire is simply a formalized set of questions for eliciting information

As such its function is measurement andit represents the most common form of

measurement in marketing research The report has been prepared as per the

information obtained from two sources They are

12

IMPORTANCE OF THE RESEARCH

It costs at least 7 times more to source a new customer than it does to

retain existing one a satisfied customer tells 5-7 people in a year whilst a

dissatisfied customer will tell 14-15 people

Companies can boost profits anywhere from 25 to 125 by retaining a

mere 5 more of their existing customers

Totally satisfied customers were 6 times more likely to use that services

and commend it than satisfied customers

Customers who have a bad experience with you and do not complain are

only 37 likely to still do business with you

Customers who have an opportunity to complain and the complaint is

achieved are 95 likely to still do business with you

INTRODUCTION

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

Customer satisfaction a business term is a measure of how products and

services supplied by a company meet customer 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

Customer satisfaction is the important statement of the problem in this

project

Measuring customer satisfaction

Customer satisfaction refers to the extent to which customers are happy with the

products and services provided by a business Customer satisfaction levels can

be measured using survey techniques and questionnaires Gaining high levels of

customer satisfaction is very important to a business because satisfied customers

are most likely to be loyal and to make repeat orders and to use a wide range of

services offered by a business

whatrsquos good about your product or services and where you need improvement

CHAPTER-2

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

DEFFINATION OF RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Cocotte Woodruff and Jenkins (1987) define customer satisfaction as

conceptualized as a feeling developed from an evaluation of the experience

HERE the timing of satisfaction response is driving consumption

But there is general agreement with Kotler (2003) that customer

satisfaction is a persons feeling of pleasure or disappointment resulting from

comparing a products perceived performance in relation to his or her

expectation In short customer satisfaction is The provision of goods or

services which fulfil the customer expectation in terms of quality and service in

relation to price paid

RESEARCH DESIGN

for the purpose of understanding andor predicting some aspects of the

behaviour of the population of interest It is the most common method of

collecting primary data for marketing decisions Survey research is

concerned with administration of questionnaires (interviewing) The

survey research must be concerned with sampling questionnaire design

questionnaire administration and data analysis The administration of

questionnaire to an individual or group of individuals is called an interview A

questionnaire is simply a formalized set of questions for eliciting information

As such its function is measurement andit represents the most common form of

measurement in marketing research The report has been prepared as per the

information obtained from two sources They are

12

IMPORTANCE OF THE RESEARCH

It costs at least 7 times more to source a new customer than it does to

retain existing one a satisfied customer tells 5-7 people in a year whilst a

dissatisfied customer will tell 14-15 people

Companies can boost profits anywhere from 25 to 125 by retaining a

mere 5 more of their existing customers

Totally satisfied customers were 6 times more likely to use that services

and commend it than satisfied customers

Customers who have a bad experience with you and do not complain are

only 37 likely to still do business with you

Customers who have an opportunity to complain and the complaint is

achieved are 95 likely to still do business with you

satisfaction is a persons feeling of pleasure or disappointment resulting from

comparing a products perceived performance in relation to his or her

expectation In short customer satisfaction is The provision of goods or

services which fulfil the customer expectation in terms of quality and service in

relation to price paid

achieved are 95 likely to still do business with you

CHAPTER-2

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

DEFFINATION OF RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Cocotte Woodruff and Jenkins (1987) define customer satisfaction as

conceptualized as a feeling developed from an evaluation of the experience

HERE the timing of satisfaction response is driving consumption

But there is general agreement with Kotler (2003) that customer

satisfaction is a persons feeling of pleasure or disappointment resulting from

comparing a products perceived performance in relation to his or her

expectation In short customer satisfaction is The provision of goods or

services which fulfil the customer expectation in terms of quality and service in

relation to price paid

RESEARCH DESIGN

Survey research is the systematic gathering of information from respondents

for the purpose of understanding andor predicting some aspects of the

behaviour of the population of interest It is the most common method of

collecting primary data for marketing decisions Survey research is

concerned with administration of questionnaires (interviewing) The

survey research must be concerned with sampling questionnaire design

questionnaire administration and data analysis The administration of

questionnaire to an individual or group of individuals is called an interview A

questionnaire is simply a formalized set of questions for eliciting information

As such its function is measurement andit represents the most common form of

measurement in marketing research The report has been prepared as per the

information obtained from two sources They are

10

1 Primary data

2 Secondary data

Primary data

1 Structured questionnaire

Secondary data

1 Data from various magazines especially bike magazines

2 Internet

SAMPLE AND DATA COLLECTION

Sampling plan

Data collected has been analyzed and interpreted by percentage system and

presented in pie charts

Sampling frame

Customers visiting showrooms for servicing their pulsar motorcycles

Sampling unit

Motorcycles owners esp Bajaj Pulsar motorcycle owners

Sampling method

Desired sample size

A sample size of 100 motorcycle owners was specified

11

OBJECTIVE OF THE RESEARCH

The objective of the study is ldquoCompany image Bajaj and Survey research

to measure customer satisfaction towards Bajaj Pulsarrdquo

To determine the effects of the company image on the sales

To understand customer attitude towards Bajaj motorcycles

To measure customer satisfaction of Bajaj pulsar motorcycle owners

SCOPE OF THE RESEARCH

The satisfaction level of the customer study will help to know the

performance of Surjeet bajaj Motors amp it also help the management can

emphasize on their weaker areas for improvement

12

IMPORTANCE OF THE RESEARCH

It costs at least 7 times more to source a new customer than it does to

retain existing one a satisfied customer tells 5-7 people in a year whilst a

dissatisfied customer will tell 14-15 people

Companies can boost profits anywhere from 25 to 125 by retaining a

mere 5 more of their existing customers

Totally satisfied customers were 6 times more likely to use that services

and commend it than satisfied customers

Customers who have a bad experience with you and do not complain are

only 37 likely to still do business with you

Customers who have an opportunity to complain and the complaint is

achieved are 95 likely to still do business with you

LIMITATION OF THE RESEARCH

The responses given by the respondents may not be true

The respondents may be careless in responding to the questionnaire

The respondents may be illiterate

There may be respondentrsquos bias

Even though utmost care has been taken in conducting the

survey the findings may sometimes differ from the population

The study is conducted of academic nature

The split happened 1 year before the study not giving the long

run result of Hero Motors Bikes

IMPORTANCE OF THE RESEARCH

It costs at least 7 times more to source a new customer than it does to

retain existing one a satisfied customer tells 5-7 people in a year whilst a

dissatisfied customer will tell 14-15 people

Companies can boost profits anywhere from 25 to 125 by retaining a

mere 5 more of their existing customers

Totally satisfied customers were 6 times more likely to use that services

and commend it than satisfied customers

Customers who have a bad experience with you and do not complain are

only 37 likely to still do business with you

Customers who have an opportunity to complain and the complaint is

achieved are 95 likely to still do business with you

LIMITATION OF THE RESEARCH

The responses given by the respondents may not be true

The respondents may be careless in responding to the questionnaire

The respondents may be illiterate

There may be respondentrsquos bias

Even though utmost care has been taken in conducting the

survey the findings may sometimes differ from the population

The study is conducted of academic nature

The split happened 1 year before the study not giving the long

run result of Hero Motors Bikes
