    SAMPLE SCHEME

    The sampling unit consists of 65 customers of VECTRA SYSTEMS AND

    SOLUTIONS from Chennai.

    The convenience sampling method was adopted for the study with a sample size

    of 65 respondents, which are chosen in a convenient manner. In this a designated number of

    sample units were selected deliberately or purposely depending upon the objectives of the inquirer

    so that only the important items representing the true characteristics are included in the sample.

    PERIOD OF STUDY

    The study was conducted from the period from February 2005 to April 2005.

    CHAPTER IV

    REVIEW OF LITERATURE

    In the present scenario companies are facing their toughest competition ever. It is

    very necessary for any companies to change their philosophy from product and sales philosophy

    to a marketing philosophy. All the companies are required to win their customers and outperform

    their competitors; this can be done by doing a better job of meeting or exceeding customer

    expectations.

    In general, customer satisfaction is a customers feelings of pleasure of

    disappointment resulting from comparing a products perceived performance in relation top his

  • 8/6/2019 Anurag Parasrampuria

    12/50

    or her expectations. If the performance falls short of expectations, the customer is dissatisfied, if

    the performance matches the expectations, the customer is satisfied and if it exceeds then he is

    delighted.

    There is a huge link between customer satisfaction and customer loyalty. Suppose

    if he is not satisfied then he will shift to another vendor, if he is satisfied then he may shift to

    another vendor if his offer is better and he will remain loyal only when he is delighted and fully

    satisfied.

    The customer builds their expectations only by their past buying experience,

    friends and associates advice, and marketers and competitors information and promises. So the

    companies need to raise expectations and delivering performance to match. So it is understood

    that customers will buy from the firm that they see as offering the highest perceived value.

    In the IT Industry lots of customers are buying assembled products rather than

    branded, so the companies need to increase their expectations by giving proper information and

    promising so that the customer will be bound to buy the branded products. There is no much

    difference in the customer satisfaction for the customers of IT Industry and other Industries.

    CHAPTER V

    CHAPTER IX

    SUGGESTIONS

    At present most of the customers are Satisfied with the Services of VECTRA SYSTEMSbut effort should be made to increase there Satisfaction level by giving more efforts to

    attend them on time.

    It is found that Customers of VECTRA SYSTEMS are very happy with the Callcompletion made by them but it is not the case for the Response Time, so they need to

    concentrate on this aspect.

    It is also found during the survey that the Old Customers of VECTRA SYSTEMS are notsatisfied with the service of VECTRA SYSTEMS, so efforts should be taken to increase

    there satisfaction level by attending them again and build a relationship with them in

    future.

    It is also found that most of the companies prefer assembled products so a customerawareness program should be conducted so that the benefits of branded products can be

    explained in a proper manner.

    48/50

    It is also found during the survey that the demand for Laptops are very high, the probablereason for it may be the decreasing price of the products, comfort ability or any such

    reasons, so they need to concentrate on increasing the sales of Laptops by promoting

    them more often with suitable offers.

    CHAPTER XCONCLUSION

    I hereby conclude that the Services provided by the VECTRA SYSTEMS AND

    SOLUTIONS are up to the satisfactory level but they need to improve the level because the

    market is highly competitive now-a-days, so in order to increase the satisfaction level they need to

    play a job of watch dog who always keeps his eyes on the market and attend there customers on

    time which is possible only when they have adequate number of personnel so they need to

    increase the number of personnel.
