So as to keep customer satisfied every banker tries to provide superior services. Competition among Islamic bank rises due to the development and growing popularity of Islamic banking product in Pakistan. In the recent age Islamic banks had to face numerous challenges. First of all they have to compete with the peers and secondly they have to cope with conventional banking. Yi (1990) stated that when customers utilize any service their satisfaction is the outcome of a cumulative of perception, evaluation and psychological thinking. In the banking sector there is numerous research that evaluate customer satisfaction. towards services (Anderson and Sullivan., 1993; Brenhardt, Donthu, and Kennett, 1994; Bedal and Power, 1995; Holliday 1996; Despensa,

Customer service is the by-product of an organization’s desire to satisfy its clientele. It is the way by which goods or services are delivered from to the customer in each phase of a transaction. Those providing customer service represent the organization and its values. If there are procedural issues within the organization, it will be reflected in the way in which customer service is perceived. Customer service is integral to an organization’s success, considering even one negative interaction may be enough to lose a client. According to American Express (2011), seventy-eight percent of customers have turned away from a sale due to poor customer service (Service Can Make or Break Brands, para. 5)

The aspects of business success that Jones (2012) chooses to study are that of customer retention and employee satisfaction. Being able to minimize the loss of customers correlates to improved financial

Customer satisfaction and service quality are the two important components that direct anyone’s attention in every concept related to marketing, services, etc. (Spreng and Mackoy, 2006). In today’s competitive era, the success lies in

In my opinion our company is relatively strong in 2 of the 4 characteristics of “analytic competitor” as described in the text. Our goal as company is to be superior in customer service and customer loyalty. To that end we have tools developed that assist everyone in the company and we are committed, from the CEO down to line-level team member, to review the same statistics used for continuous improvement. Where we lack strength is having a distinctive capability and due to some system limitations in data warehousing, we still do quite a bit of individual reporting. Prior to working for this company I worked at the Well Established Casino (WEC) organization for 10 years. I learned quite a bit about standard reporting at WEC. Digging into how things worked and what interpretations were used to categorize casino player behavior was very rewarding. While WEC was superior in bucketing and appropriately setting expectations in future customer behavior, their reporting lacked some details preventing marketing operations from quickly responding to outlier influences and climate changes in the industry. I moved onto HTC where most of the reporting was financial in nature. Having opened newer casino properties our corporate structure did not immediately embrace the need for marketing analysis to potentially improve revenue streams that were already robust enough. I came on board with HTC in late 2010 as the Regional Director of Marketing Analysis when they opened casino number two.

Tom Peters, in his video “Radically Reengineering Business” (BBC, 1993), got it right: The world was, indeed, getting crazy in the 1990’s, and it is getting even crazier. Dealership Service Departments everywhere, including my own, are no exception. In a short few years, we have gone from a business model of maximum sales per ticket (sometimes at any cost!) to a model of maximum customer satisfaction and retention. While manufacturers have been singing the Retention song for what seems like forever, some dealer groups and franchise owners have not yet fully bought into this long-term type of thinking. Therefore, by necessity, Service Managers everywhere must rapidly adjust their own plans as their General Managers flip-flop between

In today’s society consumers want it quick, fast, in a hurry and they are not willing to wait. Customers are becoming more demanding and critical when not having their expectations met. It is important company adjusts to the ever changing attitudes and expectation of customers in the market place. Therefore it is a must for company to satisfy their customers. Customers’ satisfaction is the key to the success of any company. James McGaran is the manager in the Financial District office at Citibank; locate in the Los Angeles area. “Citibank is a niche player and pride themselves on building a profitable franchise by providing relationship banking combined with a high level of service to its customer” (Harvard Business School.

The combined multi-attribute and Kano model provide some guidance regarding how service is perceived by bank customers in the mass affluent segment. There exists a substantial heterogeneity in customer perceptions of the service quality items (Strandberg et al., 2012). An alternative model presented by Gronroos (1990) emphasizes the functional (how), technical (what), and servicescape (where) dimensions. Gronroos (1990) includes the servicescape attributes in the functional dimension, while others (Bitner, 1992; Rust and Oliver, 1994) see the servicescape as a discrete dimension. According to Kang (2006), recent studies have attempted to include more items in models of perceived service quality, particularly items related to Gronroos’ dimensions (Strandberg et al., 2012). According to Kano et al. (1984) quality attributes can be divided into four distinct categories: taken-for-granteds, which produce dissatisfaction if they are performed unsatisfactory but will not result in increased satisfaction if they are performed above that level; proportionals, which produce more satisfaction the superior the performance and more dissatisfaction the poorer the performance; delighters, which creates satisfaction if they are performed but not necessarily in dissatisfaction if they are not performed; & neutrals, which are traits to which the customer is indifferent (Strandberg et al., 2012).

Customer Satisfaction and Loyalty has become, throughout years, not only an important marketing tool but also an integrated part of a company structure. Competition has become fierce and competitors in a market are trying constantly to prove that their products and services are better than others. Therefore, being able to satisfy and retain customers will definitely create a competitive edge over competitors but will also reduce cost while creating long term relationship with customers.

In order to build and sustain a competitive edge, service organization need to strive to maintain a superior quality of services in an effort to gain customer loyalty, hence improving customer retention rates.(Kadampully,1998)

The outcomes of this report shows all service quality dimensions are positively correlated with customer satisfaction and loyalty indicating quality banking service as a necessity for establishing and having a satisfied and loyal customers. As to the correlation result, assurance and responsiveness are the leading factors of

Today's managers have access to an amazing array of resources which they can use to improve their skills. Some use the classical management approach especially traditional organizations while others use scientific management approach to solving organization problems and enhancing efficiency and productivity. Any of these approaches can be used in either a product or service base organization. These resources either tangible or intangible used to improve the product or skill of an organization determines its quality. Furthermore, in a predominantly service sector like the banks, interest rate or cost of transaction may be a considerable factor for patronage but quality of service is another critical factor used to woo customers. Infact, it is the major factor because poor quality service can even erode the goodwill of the organization. Quality is a relative concept and that’s why what one person regards as high standard or fit to the purpose
