    COMPANY PROFILE

    14History of the company:Company founder Soichiro Honda, after working at Art Shokai, developed his own design for

  • 8/2/2019 Honda File

    19/59

    piston rings in 1938. He attempted to sell them to Toyota and after two years of work he won a

    contract with Toyota. He constructed a new facility to supply Toyota, but soon after, during World

    War II, the Honda piston manufacturing facilities were almost completely destroyed. Soichiro

    Honda created a new company with what he had left. The Japanese market was decimated by

    World War II; his country was starved of money and fuel, but was still in need of basic

    transportation. Honda, utilizing his manufacturing facilities, attached an engine to a bicycle which

    created a cheap and efficient method of transport. He gave his company the name Honda Giken

    K gy Kabushiki Kaisha which translates to Honda Research Institute Company Ltd. Despite its

    grandiose name, the first facility bearing that name was a simple wooden shack where Mr.

    Honda and his associates would fit the engines to bicycles. The official Japanese name for Honda

    Motor Company Ltd. remains the same in honor of Soichiro Honda's efforts. On 24 September

    1948 the Honda Motor Co. was officially founded in Japan. Honda began to produce a range of

    scooters and motorcycles and Soichiro Honda quickly recovered from the losses incurred during

    the war. Honda's first motorcycle to be put on sale was the 1947 A-Type (one year before the

    company was officially founded). However, Honda's first full-fledged motorcycle on the marketwas the 1949 Dream D-Type. It was equipped with

    a 98cc engine producing around 3 horsepower. This was followed by other highly popular scooters

    throughout the 1950s.

    Honda is the world's largest manufacturer of 2-wheelers. Its

    symbol, the Wings, represents the company's unwavering dedication in achieving goals that are

    unique and above all, conforming to international norms. These wings are now in India as Honda

    Motorcycle & Scooter India Pvt. Ltd. (HMSI), a wholly owned subsidiary of Honda Motor Company

    Ltd., Japan. These wings are here to initiate a change and make a difference in the Indian 2-wheeler industry. Honda's dream for India is to not only manufacture 2-wheelers of global quality,

    but also meet and exceed the expectations of Indian customers with outstanding after sales

    support. Official Name- Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India Pvt. Ltd.

    Introduction of customer satisfaction and services:Customer satisfaction is one of the main objectives of any organization. Everyorganization tries to know the customer satisfaction about their products. So astudy on customer satisfaction helps the organization as well as me to gain avast knowledge over the real world tastes and preferences of customer Whether thebuyer is satisfied after purchase depends on the offers performance in relation to thebuyers expectations. In general satisfaction is a persons feelings of pleasure ordisappointment resulting from comparing a products perceived performance inrelation to his or her expectations. As this definition makes clear, satisfaction is afunction of perceived performance and expectations. If the performance fal ls shortof expectations, the customer is dissatisfied. If the performance matches theexpectations, the customer is satisfied.I f the performance exceeds expectations, the customer is highly satis f ied or delighted. Many companies are aiming for high satisfaction becausecustomers who are just satisfied still find it easy to switch when a better offer comesalong. Those who are hig hly sat isf ied are much les s ready to swi tch . Highsa ti sf ac ti on or de l ig ht creates an emotional bond with the brand, not just arational preference. The result is high customer loyalty. Xeroxs senior managementbelieves that a very satisfied door delighted customer is worth 10 times as

    much to the company as a sa ti sf ied customer. A very satisfied customer islikely 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 andassociates advice and marketers and competitors information and promises.If marketers raise expectations too high, the buyer is likely to be disappointed,For example, Holiday Inn ran a campaign a few years ago called No SurprisesYet hotel guests still encountered a host of problems, and Holiday Inn had to with drawthe campaign. However, if the company sets expectations too low, it wont attractenough buyers (although it will satisfy thosewhodobuy).Some of todays most successful companies are raising expectations and de l ivering performances to match. These companies are

    aiming for TCS- to ta l customer satisfaction. Xerox for example, guaranteestotal satisfaction and will replace at its expense any dissatisfied customersequipment within a period of three years after purchase. Cigna advertisesWell never be 100% satisfied until you are, too. And one of Hondas adssays: One reason our customers are so satisfied is that we arent. Nissan invitespotential infinity buyers to dropin for a guest drive (not a test driv e) becaus e t he Japan ese word f orcustomer Is honoured guest. Look at what high satisfaction can do Saturn In thelate 1980s, Saturn

    20

    (General Motors newest car division) changed the whole buyer seller relationship withaNew 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 ofthe traditional hard sell). Once a sale is made, the sales staff surrounds the new

  • 8/2/2019 Honda File

    owner for commemorative photo, with everyone smiling. The companys fifthanniversary celebration at the Tennessee headquarters was attended by more than4000 Saturn from all across the country. Said Saturns president: Saturn is more than acar its a whole new way of doing things, of working with our customers and with oneanother. A customers decision to be loyal or to defect is the sum of many smallencounters with the company. Consulting firm Forum Corporation says that inorder for all these small encounters to add up to customer loyalty, companiesneed to create a branded customer experience.

    Assuring Customer Satisfaction: "Those who enter to buy,support me. Those who come to flatter, please me. Those who complain, teach mehow I may please others so that more will come. Only those who hurt me aredispleased but do not complain. They refuse me permission to correct my errors andthus improve my service." - Marshall Field. The attitude of the professional issummed up in this statement. It establishes the cus tomer as the person towhom you are responsible. Customers support you; therefore, they deserveVIP treatment. When your customers are happy, you are happy. When theycomplain, you are unhappy, but you examine the complaint calmly and see itas an opportunity to learn as well as satisfy their needs. The quote echoes the

    fear that customers wil l not vocalize their dissatisfaction, 5but instead take theirbusiness elsewhere. There's another quote that's even more important tosalespeople and companies immediately upon making a sale--"The Sale BeginsWhen the Customer Says. Yes. "In the old days, It used to be, "The Sale BeginsWhen the Customer Says. NO, "but that's a totally Inappropriate attitude toembrace in today's customer-driven business environment.

    Keeping Your Customers Happy Since you r f i rst con cern iscustomer satisfact ion you should be aware of someemotional stumbling blocks in your path: selectiv e perception, user error an d buyer's remorse. Selective perception is the process in which a personsees only selected details from the entire picture. This attention to detail is

    sometimes petty. For example, a cust omer may have a ne w copyi ng mach inethat works like a charm, but he is irritated by the sound of the motor. Hefocuses only on what is wrong rather than what is right. This occurs becausebuyers expect their purchases to be perfect. Regardless of the purchase price, theyfigure that for what they spent, they deserve perfection.

    21When you encounter someone who practices selective perception, evaluate thesituation to determine if the complaint is reasonable or exaggerated. If it isexaggerated, try to resolve the problem by pointing out benefits and features thatcompensate. 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 newsystem or piece of equipment, and the buyer or thei r emp loyees mus t betrained to use it . Thei r success fu l use of the equipment depends upon theeffectiveness of the training, and it is imperative that the salesperson followsthrough after the training period to make sure the client uses the purchaseproperly. It is not uncommon for people to forget 75 percent of what they hearafter two days. This can cause "user error", which will significantly affect theoutcome of your test and may prevent your client from reaching his success criteria.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 ofsending someone from the customer service department. It provides thepersonal service that your customer appreciates and it may obviate the need for atechnician or serviceman to call. A san alternative, both of you can go together tohandle customer complaints. Keep the following guidelines in mind:1. Don'tprocrastinate 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 inresponding wil l only irritate your client more.2. Admit mistakes and apologize. Justbecause you made the sale does not mean you can become defensive aboutyour company, product or service. Even the most reputable companiesmake mistakes and have problems with their products.

    You may want to resta te the customer's complaint toshow that you are listening and have an understanding of the problem.3. Showcompassion for your customer. Whether the complaint proves to be true or false, showyour 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 youdo."4. Actively listen to your customer's complaint. Talking will make him feel lessanxious about it. Let your customer "vent" hisfeelings before you react to the situation. Be sympathetic and encourage the customer to "blow up." Afterward, he'll feel better; this means he'll bein a better frame of mind.5. Don't pass the buck to your company or someone elsewithin it. This may take the blame off you, but it undermines the integrity andorganization of the company, and your customer will lose confidence in your firm.

    Importance of the customer satisfaction:The importance of customer satisfaction is apparent when you realize that, withoutcustomers, you don't have a business. A single unsatisfied customer can send morebusiness away from your company than 10 satisfied customers. The more you focus oncustomer retention and customer support, the more long-term business you'll get. It'sworth it to focus on customer satisfaction strategies, no matter how large or small your

    company is.Understanding the needs of the customer the critical:Business relationship, just like any other relationship, relies on both people getting theirneeds met. No matter what type of business you are in, all customers want the samething. They want to feel welcomed and appreciated by you and your staff. They don'twant to get the impression that they are just being used by you for money. Smallinteractions like "Thank you" and a nice smile can go a long way toward customersatisfaction.

    2. Makesure your employees operates with same principle:A big part of customer satisfaction is reliability. If customers come to expect a certain

    mode of behaviour from you and your employees, you should deliver it to them eachand every time. Customers want to be able to rely on you. They expect consistentdelivery times (if applicable) and support. By training your employees to treat allcustomers with the same respect, your customers will all have the same experiencewith your company, which will increase customer satisfaction.

    3. Be honest when you dont meet expectation:Customer satisfaction is at its most important when something goes wrong in the chainof delivery. Whether a customer was double charged or didn't receive what she ordered,your employees need to handle the situation with the utmost care. Your employeeshould apologize and take steps to rectify the situation. The phrase "the customer isalways right" is at the core of a good customer satisfaction strategy. It doesn't matter

    whether or not the customer misread the instructions or made the mistake; youremployee should take steps to make the customer happy.

    4. Customer satisfaction is the foundation of a god business:Satisfied customers will make a great foundation for return business, and they may alsobring in their friends and associates. Remember that customers are the heart of anybusiness. Keep them satisfied, and encourage them to tell their friends about theirexperiences with your business.

    MEASURING CUSTOMER SATISFACTION:Organizations are increasingly interesting in retaining existing customers while

    targeting non-customers measuring customer satisfaction provides an indication of howsuccessful the organization is at providing products and/or services to the marketplace.

    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 can also vary

    depending on other options the customer may have and other products against which

    the customer can compare the organizations products.

    Important to measures customer satisfaction:While is it is critical to be in sync with the overall business objectives of theorganization, it is also critical to be in tune with information requirements of users, andthe value they find in services provided by the info center. In order to be perceived asintegral assets to their organizations, most information professionals are concerned withexpanding their activities, and serving more customers better. Building on a loyalcustomer or user base is the best and easiest way to grow your business. Just ascompanies find it costs approximately five times more to acquire new customers than itcosts to keep a customer, Info Centers will find it most cost effective to grow by building

    on the services now provided to loyal, committed customers. To continue earning thatcustomer loyalty, information professionals must keep tabs on the satisfaction levelsand perceptions of value held by Info Center users. Strategies to develop the newbusiness should always be balanced by strategies to retain existing business and ensureongoing satisfaction of existing customers. There is an also real bottomline reason formeasuring customer satisfaction. Positive results from customer satisfactions studieswill make a strong statement in support of continued funding for Info Center activities.

    25Tools for measuring customer satisfaction:1. Complain and suggestion system:

    28/59

    A customer-centered organization makes it easy for customers to register suggestionsand complaints. Companies also using web sites and e-mail for quick, two-waycommunication.

    2. Customer satisfaction survey:Responsive companies measure customer satisfaction directly by conducting periodicsurveys.

    3. Ghost shopping:Companies can hire people to pose as potential buyers to report on strong and weakpoints experienced in buying the companys and competitors products. These shopperscan even test the companys sales personnel handle various situations.

    4. Lost customer analysis:Companies should contact customers who have stopped buying or who have switchedto another supplier to learn why this happened.

    5. Focus group:Focus groups can be held on an informal or formal basis. On an informal basis, considerhaving a group of users meet for coffee or lunch to discuss their satisfaction withservices being evaluated. On a more formal basis, a facilitator with experience inleading focus groups can work with personnel to plan questions and activities to elicitperception of value and satisfaction from participants.

    6. Customer satisfaction sur vey:Study show that although customers are dissatisfied with one out of every fourpurchases, less than five percent of dissatisfied customers will complain. Mostcustomers will buy less or switch to other supplier. Complaint levels are thus not goodmeasure of customer satisfactions responsive companies measure customersSatisfaction directly by conducting periodic survey. They send questionnaire or maketelephonic calls to a random sample of recent customers. They also solicit burger viewson there competition performance. Which collecting customer satisfaction data it is alsouseful to asked additional question to measure repurpose intention this will normally behigh.

    Customer services:Customer service is the provision ofservice to customers before, during and after a

    purchase.

    According to Jamier L. Scott. (2002), Customer service is a series of activities designed

    to enhance the level of customer satisfaction that is, the feeling that a product or

    service has met the customer expectation."

    Its importance varies by product, industry and customer; defective or broken

    merchandise can be exchanged, often only with a receipt and within a specified time

    frame. Retail stores will often have a desk or counter devoted to dealing with returns,

    exchanges and complaints, or will perform related functions at the point of sale.

    Customer service may be provided by a person (e.g., sales and service representative),

    or by automated means called self-service. Examples of self service are Internet sites.

    However, In the Internet era, a challenge has been to maintain and/or enhance the

    personal experience while making use of the efficiencies of online commerce. Writing

    in Fast Company, entrepreneur and customer systems innovator Micah Solomon has

    made the point that "Online customers are literally invisible to you (and you to them),

    so it's easy to short change them emotionally. But this lack of visual and tactile

    presence makes it even more crucial to create a sense of personal, human-to-human

    connection in the online area."

    Customer service is normally an integral part of a companys customer value

    proposition. In their book Rules to Break and Laws to Follow, Don Peppers and Martha

    Rogers, Ph.D. write that "customers have memories. They will remember you, whether

    you remember them or not." Further, "customer trust can be destroyed at once by a

    major service problem, or it can be undermined one day at a time, with a thousand

    small demonstrations of incompetence."

    From the point of view of an overall sales process engineering effort, customer service

    plays an important role in an organization's ability to generate income and

    revenue. From that perspective, customer service should be included as part of an

    overall approach to systematic improvement.

    Some have argued that the quality and level of customer service has decreased in

    recent years, and that this can be attributed to a lack of support or understanding at the

    executive and middle management levels of a corporation and/or a customer servicepolicy.

    28

    "Service system" is a term very frequently used in the service management, service

    operations, services marketing, service engineering, and service design literature. While

    the term frequently appears, it is rarely defined. Given the growing importance of this

    term in the literature, this entry begins to organize historical usages, examples, and

    inferred definitions. A service system worldview is a system of systems that interact via

    value propositions. or customer satisfaction levels, and other KPIs. A service

    system (or customer service system, CSS) is a configuration of technology and

    organizational networks designed to deliver services that satisfy the needs, wants, or

    aspirations of customers.

    8 Rules for good customer services:Good Customer Service Made Simple

    Good customer service is the lifeblood of any business. You can offer promotions andslash prices to bring in as many new customers as you want, but unless you can getsome of those customers to come back, your business won't be profitable for long. Goodcustomer service is all about bringing customers back. And about sending them awayhappy - happy enough to pass positive feedback about your business along to others,who may then try the product or service you offer for themselves and in their turnbecome repeat customers. If you're a good salesperson, you can sell anything toanyone once. But it will be your approach to customer service that determines whetheror not youll ever be able to sell that person anything else. The essence of good

    customer service is forming a relationship with customers a relationship that thatindividual customer feels that he would like to pursue. How do you go about formingsuch a relationship? By remembering the one true secret of good customer service andacting accordingly; "You will be judged by what you do, not what you say." I know thisverges on the kind of statement that's often seen on a sampler, but providing good

  • 8/2/2019 Honda File

    32/59

    customer service IS a simple thing. If you truly want to have good customer service, allyou have to do is ensure that your business consistently does these things:

    1.Answer your phone: Get call forwarding. Or an answering service. Hire staffifyou need to. But make sure that someone is picking up the phone when someone

    calls your business. (Notice I say "someone". People who call want to talk to a liveperson, not a fake "recorded robot".) For more on answering the phone, see PhoneAnswering Tips to Win Business.

    2. Dont make promise unless you keep them: Not plan to keep them. Willkeep them. Reliability is one of the keys to any good relationship, and good customerservice is no exception. If you say, Your new bedroom furniture will be delivered onTuesday, make sure it is delivered on Tuesday. Otherwise, don't say it. The same rule

    applies to client appointments, deadlines, etc.. Think before you give any promise -because nothing annoys customers more than a broken one.

    30

    4.

    Listen to yours customer: Is there anything more exasperating than tellingsomeone what you want or what your problem is and then discovering that that personhasn't been paying attention and needs to have it explained again? From a customer'spoint of view, I doubt it. Can the sales pitches and the product babble. Let yourcustomer talk and show him that you are listening by making the appropriateresponses, such as suggesting how to solve the problem.

    4. Deal with complaints: No one likes hearing complaints, and many of us havedeveloped a reflex shrug, saying, "You can't please all the people all the time". Maybenot, but if you give the complaint your attention, you may be able to please this oneperson this one time - and position your business to reap the benefits of good customerservice.

    5. Be helpful even if thers no immediate profit in it : The other day Ipopped into a local watch shop because I had lost the small piece that clips the piecesof my watch band together. When I explained the problem, the proprietor said that he

    thought he might have one lying around. He found it, attached it to my watch band and charged me nothing! Where do you think I'll go when I need a new watch band oreven a new watch? And how many people do you think I've told this story to?

    33/59

    6. Train your staff to be always helpful, courteous and knowledge:Do it yourself or hire someone to train them. Talk to them about good customer serviceand what it is (and isn't) regularly. Most importantly, give every member of your staffenough information and power to make those small customer-pleasing decisions, so henever has to say, "I don't know, but so-and-so will be back at..."

    31

    7. Take the extra step: For instance, if someone walks into your store and asksyou to help them find something, don't just say, "It's in Aisle 3". Lead the customer tothe item. Better yet, wait and see if he has questions about it, or further needs.Whatever the extra step may be, if you want to provide good customer service, take it.They may not say so to you, but people notice when people make an extra effort andwill tell other people.

    8. Throw in something extra: Whether it's a coupon for a future discount,additional information on how to use the product, or a genuine smile, people love to getmore than they thought they were getting. And dont think that a gesture has to belarge to be effective. The local art framer that we use attaches a package of picturehangers to every picture he frames. A small thing, but so appreciated. If you applythese eight simple rules consistently, your business will become known for its goodcustomer service. And the best part? The irony of good customer service is that overtime it will bring in more new customers than promotions and price slashing ever did!
