Customer satisfaction program

The result is a parsimonious framework with intuitive appeal that supports investments in customer satisfaction programs and customer loyalty programs. To counter-balance the linkages discussed above, the cost impact of the vendor s customer management effort can be implicitly (e.g. Heskett, et al., 1994) or explicitly (e.g. Bowman Narayandas, 2004 Kamakura, Mittal, de Rose, Mazzon, 2002) accounted for.

To determine trends in customer satisfaction and dissatisfaction you will need to make regular surveys and plot the results, preferably by particular attributes or variables. The factors will need to include quality characteristics of the product or service as well as delivery performance and price. The surveys could be linked to your improvement programs so that following a change, and allowing sufficient time for the effect to be observed by the customer, customer feedback data could be secured to indicate the effect of the improvement. 

Rather than providing support for the existence of a profit chain-of-effects framework, and the investments in customer satisfaction and customer loyalty programs that rely on it, simple pairwise analyses of profit-chain variables almost always provide results that raise doubt about its underlying assumptions. Three examples follow. 

For example, at least one national pharmacy chain has a customer satisfaction training program for associates. Pharmacy managers are responsible for all new associates and for the experienced associates to participate in the training. There is a rewards program... 

The data obtained from service quality measures may be used in a vtuiety of ways to correct specific performance deficiencies, to identify problems for correction, and to supply data to a variety of economic models on the profit impact of causes of dissatisfaction and the revenue opportunities of sources of satisfaction. Whatever methods are used to obtain the data, service quality results must reach all of the concerned areas of the organization, and they must be evaluated and needed to balance customer satisfaction and company profits. When customer expectations are met or exceeded, they have a tendency to increase, and service-obsessed companies never see the end of programs and actions to improve service.

The greatest driver in the system safety effort as we move into the twenty-first century will be the realization that a well-managed system safety program is cost-effective. It contributes to better design and better products—not only better in terms of safety but also better in terms of customer satisfaction. 

Despite its usefulness, safety net programs rarely use one class of intermediate outcome indicators information about the quality of services. Such indicators deal with how well a service was delivered based on characteristics important to consumers of that service (Hatry 1999). The typical service quality characteristics that could usefully be tracked include wait times, staff helpfulness and knowledge, convenience of service (accessibility of location, hours of operation), awareness of program services, condition of facilities used by program beneficiaries, and overall customer satisfaction. 

EedEx has based its quality program on precepts, like Customer satisfaction starts with employee satisfaction.
