    INTRODUCTIONWherever there is uncertainty there is risk. The risk cannot be averted. The

    risk is uncertainty of the financial loss. We don t have any command on

    uncertainties. This makes it essential that we think in favor of a device that

    becomes instrumental in spreading the loss. It is in this context that we think

    about insurance.

    Protection against the possible chances of generating uncertain losses. It

    eliminates worries and miseries of losses or destruction of property and

    death.

    Life insurance is a contract between you and a life insurance company,

    which provided you a death during the contract term.

    Buying insurance is extremely useful if you are the principal earning

    member in the family unfortunate premature demise, your family can remain

    financially secure because of the life that you have purchased.

    in the even insurance is also seen as a tool to plan effectively for your future

    years. Your retiren children s future needs. Today, the market offers

    insurance plans that not just cover your same time grow your wealth too.

    If you have dependants and financial responsibilities toward them, then you

    certainly need.

    commitments. Finance comes in the form of loans, children s education,

    medical expenses etc.

    Why Organizations Focus on

    Customer Satisfaction

    Businesses monitor customer satisfaction in order to determine how to increase their customer

    base, customer loyalty, revenue, profits, market share and survival. Although greater profit is the

    primary driver, exemplary businesses focus on the customer and his/her experience with the

    organization. They work to make their customers happy and see customer satisfaction as the key

    to survival and profit. Customer satisfaction in turn hinges on the quality and effects of their

    experiences and the goods or services they receive.

    Effective marketing focuses on two activities: retaining existing customers and adding new

    customers. Customer satisfaction measures are critical to any product or service company

    because customer satisfaction is a strong predictor of customer retention, customer loyalty and

    product repurchase

    What is Customer Satisfaction?

    The an individual who buys products or services for personal use and not for manufacture

    or resale. A consumer is someone who can make the decision whether or not to purchase

    an item at the store, and someone who can be influenced by marketing and

    advertisements. Any time someone goes to a store and purchases a toy, shirt, beverage, or

    anything else, they are making that decision as a consumer

    Meaning Of Consumer in India

    Consumer means any person who----------

    buys any goods for a consideration which has been paid or promised or partly Paid and party promised, or under any system of deferred payment and includes any user of

    such goods other than the person who buys such goods for consideration or partly paid or

    partly promised, or under any system of deferred payment when such use is made with the

    approval of such person but does not include a person who obtains such goods for resale or

    for any commercial purpose:

    Customer satisfaction, a term frequently used in marketing, is a measure of how products and

    services supplied by a company meet or surpass customer expectation. Customer satisfaction is

    defined as "the number of customers, or percentage of total customers, whose reported

    experience with a firm, its products, or its services (ratings) exceeds specified satisfaction goals."

    Purpose

    A business ideally is continually seeking feedback to improve customer satisfaction.

    Customer satisfaction provides a leading indicator of consumer purchase intentions and loyalty.

    Customer satisfaction data are among the most frequently collected indicators of market

    perceptions. Their principal used are:

    1. Within organizations, the collection, analysis and dissemination of these data send amessage about the importance of tending to customers and ensuring that they have a

    positive experience with the companys goods and services..

    Although sales or market share can indicate how well a firm is performing currently, satisfaction

    is an indicator of how likely it is that the firms customers will make further purchases in the

    future. Much research has focused on the relationship between customer satisfaction and

    retention. Studies indicate that the ramifications of satisfaction are most strongly realized at the

    extremes. On a five-point scale, individuals who rate their satisfaction level as 5 are likely to

    become return customers and might even evangelize for the firm. (A second important metric

    related to satisfaction is willingness to recommend.

    This metric is defined as "The percentage of surveyed customers who indicate that they would

    recommend a brand to friends." When a customer is satisfied with a product, he or she might

    recommend it to friends, relatives and colleagues. This can be a powerful marketing advantage.)

    Individuals who rate their satisfaction level as 1, by contrast, are unlikely to return. Further,

    they can hurt the firm by making negative

    Service Quality

    Research identifies many characteristics that are associated with service quality.

    Business researchers Benjamin Schneider and David Bowen assert that service

    organizations must meet three key customer needs to deliver service excellence:

    security, esteem, and justice.9 Research identifies an array of service quality factors

    those are important for customers, including:

    timeliness and convenience, personal attention, reliability and dependability, employee competence and professionalism, empathy, responsiveness, assurance, availability, and tangibles such as physical facilities and equipment and the appearance of the personnel.

  • 8/3/2019 Bba Sumer Project

    16/60

    Research shows that these characteristics also apply to citizen satisfaction with public

    service quality. Timely service is an especially strong determinant of quality across

    different types of public services. Fairness and outcomes are additional factors important

    to public service customers.

    32/60

    INTRODUCTION

    Research is an art of scientific investigation through search for new facts in

    any branch of knowledge. It is a moment from known to unknown.
