Executive Summery
As a market leader, GrameenPhone is continuously coming up with new ideas regarding its
products and services. Recently, the company is mainly focusing on the non-voice services.
Because, the company knows in near future, voice based services will reach to the maturity
stage which will make the business growth constant to some extents. Hence, the company istrying to maintain the leading position in non-voices services as well like SMS, Push-Pull,
and Information related services at the early growing stage. These services are working as a
building block to increase GPs service value.
Coming up with innovative service is easier than making subscribers aware of services.
Hence through this internship report I have tried to analyze the present situation of the
cellular phone industry in Bangladesh and GPs position there in, find out the services that
Grameen phone is presently providing to its valued customers & their satisfaction level. 15
million people out of 140 million total citizen of Bangladesh are presently using cell phone; itmeans that out of every 9 people one is using cell phone. In the third world country like
Bangladesh the amount of users is amazing. Grameenphone holds almost 61% market share
of telecom industry that is out of every 10 users 6 belongs to Grameenphone. So
GrameenPhone marketing strategy should be Profitable growth & expanding market share
through satisfying existing customers. I have also made a comparative service analysis of
various cellular phone companies in Bangladesh and drawn some valuable recommendation
to GrameenPhone to be the market leader in future in this competitive market.
A comprehensive survey was conducted to know about GPs present position in the market
and its present service condition that is providing to its valued customers. The survey report
shows that Grameen phone is still a market leader in this industry but as it is becoming more
competitive day by day so Grameen phone should revise its service packages, quality with
more conveniently for the customers.
Among the other cellular phone companies GrameenPhone has some unique competitive
advantages in this industry in Bangladesh so if it is possible for GP to provide better services
with continuous innovative products it will add value to the company. Otherwise, in the long
run new innovation services will not give its ultimate success.

INTRODUCTION
GrameenPhone (GP) today is apparently the largest mobile telecommunication industry in
Bangladesh. It operates its function with an aim to accomplish two principal targets. Firstly,
as with other commercial organizations, it operates in such a manner that it receives a good
economic return on the investment. Nonetheless, secondly, it contributes significantly to the
economic development of the country in making telecommunication a popular medium for
exchange of information.
GP, in its operation, has to address a large number of customers throughout the country. It is
therefore imperative to get to the customers to know their impression on the services of this
important communication medium. This encouraged the researcher to choose the topic of this
internship programme as Customer satisfaction of GrameenPhone.

Background of the Industry:
In a highly populated country like Bangladesh, telecommunication can play a vital role to
boost the economy and social level of people. The introduction of cellular phones has
dramatically changed the lives of businesses and individuals.
As there is a growing trend of workers turning from farming to other occupations, the need
for mobiles is increasing among the thousands of impoverished villages. The overall
efficiency of other business has increased as an aftermath of the government's decision of
deregulating the telecommunications sector, which until the late 1980s had been a state
monopoly.
Privatization of the telecommunications sector began in 1989, when Sheba and BRTA were
awarded 25-year licenses to install and operate fixed-wire lines and wireless services in rural
areas. The same year, Pacific Telecom Bangladesh got the government's permission to launch
the country's first cellular phone and paging service sold under brand name CityCell in
collaboration with a Hong Kong-based company. The company targeted only the higher class
of the society. During that time price of mobile was above Tk 50,000/=. Naturally, the growth
of the industry was too slow. CityCell had a virtual monopoly until 1996, when the
government gave licenses to three more companies to operate cell phones in Bangladesh. So,
the government decided to bring more companies in the market and break the monopoly.
After careful evaluation the government decided to provide three licenses to GrameenPhone,
TM International (AkTel), and Sheba Telecom (Banglalink). Only CityCell is using Code
Division Multiple Access (CDMA) technology, AkTel, GrameenPhone, Banglalink these
three companies are using GSM (Global System for Mobile) technology. GSM is the most
popular mobile telecommunication technology in the world. About 60% of the cell phone
users of the world use GSM technology.
These three new companies entered the market, not only helped trim down over-dependence
on BTTB's fixed-line system, but also made mobile phones cheaper and easier to get. The
8/10/2019 Internship Report on Customer Satisfaction of GrameenPhone
9/39
price of a cell phone came down from $2,000 to as low as $100, depending on the features of
the handset and SIM price is only Tk.200-300.
A definite development has been observed in the Business Market with comparatively high
expectations. Customer maturity and anticipation regarding technology has increased over
time. Rumors regarding new entrants have groomed expectations in the market.
Consequently, people are expecting cheaper handsets with lowered airtime.
The existing Cellular phone companies in Bangladesh are CityCell (Pacific Bangladesh
Telecom Limited), GrameenPhone Ltd., AkTel Ltd. Banglalink and TeleTalk. Among these
company GrameenPhone, AkTeland Banglalinkadopted GSM technology and Citycell the
market pioneer started with CDMA technology.

METHODOLOGY
Based on the topic chosen, the researcher was assigned the task in the Customer Management
Division (CMD) in GP. This divisions consists of a big team of about 1500 employees. Its
functions relate with the customer service after the sales occur. Prime functions and activities
of the GP Customer Management Divisions cater to all after-sales services starting from
activation of subscriptions, all customer contacts (Centralized Call Center, Customer
Relations Centers, and centralized Customer Communications), billing, bank communication,
bill collection throughout the country, helpline services, GPSDs etc.

Limitations of the Study:
GrameenPhone basic strategy is widening its market through its emerging countrywide
network. As a result of this strategy, the subscribers are from different segments or from
different income levels. Moreover, the subscribers are scattered all over the country.
The time constraint confined the study mostly on the data collected in Dhaka zone. Moreover,
it was not possible to get all required internal information of the company as these are treated
as confidential to the company.
The outcome of the study can thus be regarded exploratory, and may not be treated as
absolute for the whole country. In latter case a more comprehensive study is required.

CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
The Customers are in the mainstream of sales oriented services. The success of such
companies largely depends on the satisfaction of the customers .The buyers are happy if the
product and/or the services meet their expectations. If their requirements do not meet the
expectations the buyers become discontented, they are delighted when the performance fulfils
their requirements.
Customers past buying experiences, the opinion of friends, associates, marketer, competitor
information and promises lead to the expectations. Marketer must be careful to set the right
level of expectations. If they set expectations too low, they may satisfy those who buy but fail
to attract enough buyers. In contrast, if they raise expectations too high, buyers are likely to
bedisappointed. Dissatisfaction can arise either from a decrease in product and service quality
or from an increase in customer expectations. In either case, it presents an opportunity for
companies that can deliver superior customer value and satisfaction.
To-day most successful companies have taken the strategy of are raising expectations and
delivering performance to match. Such companies track their customers expectations,
perceived company performance, and customer satisfaction. Highly satisfied customers
produce several benefits for the company. Satisfied customers are fewer prices sensitiveremain customers for a longer period and talk favorably to others about the company and its
products and services.
Although the customer centered firm seeks to deliver high customer satisfaction relative to its
competitors, it does not attempt to maximize customer satisfaction. A company can always
increase customer satisfaction by lowering its price and increasing its services, but it may
result in lower profits. Thus, the purpose of marketing is to generate customer value
profitably.
Now, we have a very good idea regarding the importance of customer satisfaction. So, it is
also important for the company to know about the satisfaction level of the customers. When
any problem is identified, it becomes easier to solve the problem.

If the inquiry is regarding general information, the customer relations officer does not need to
take help of information system. She/he just provides the information and the subscriber keep
the phone.
There are some queries that are much more personalized and the CM needs to get into the
account of that particular subscriber to provide the service. In some case, the subscriber just
keeps the complaint/ request and later action is needed to be taken.
Customer need to pay TK. 4 per minute to take the service from helpline.
2 Interactive Voice Responses (IVR):
This newly introduced service by GrameenPhone. This is automated helpline service. A GP
subscriber needs to dial 123 to reach this service. After that she/he can get information
regarding the bill, usage, credit policy, bank name that receives GPs bill and so on by
choosing different options.Itisfree of charge for the first minute, from the second minute the
subscriber needs to pay tk.2 per minute.
3. Information Centers:
Most of the problems of the subscribers are solved by the helpline service. But there are
some problems that can not be solved there. Subscriber need to come physically to deal with
that problems.Grameen Phone has seven customer relation centers and 380 GPSDs which
provide services all over the country.
These Customer Relation Centers are situated in the prime divisional head quarters likeDhaka, Chittagone, Sylhet, Rajshahi and Khulna and GPSDs situated all most everywhere in
Bangladesh. In these information centers the subscribers can come directly with their
problems like billing, address change, SIM change, handset problems, etc.
These after sales services are very crucial to keep subscribers satisfied regarding
GrameenPhone.
Survey Findings:
In order to measure the satisfaction of the customers a series of questions were asked to the
customers with the help of a questionnaire, the data from these questions are tabulated below.For clear understanding, the overall satisfaction has been divided into satisfaction with the
package and satisfaction with the after sales service. As already mentioned, the survey was

From the table above it can be seen that regarding almost every criteria, the Grameen Phone

But at the same time there is quite a large number who always do not get a solution to their
problem this occur because for certain queries a subscriber has to go to the information
center and GrameenPhone has only one information center, due to this shortage a customer is
made to wait long hours in a queue. Also many times when the line takes more than a day to
be reconnected.

considered as accessible because they feel that the services can be improved, these
subscribers want to give a chance to GP to earn their loyalty. 18% could be considered as
trapped because they use GrameenPhone as no other company offers them the services and
only 3% fall under High-risk as these subscribers do not like the GrameenPhone services and
are looking for alternatives.

In Dhaka city, there should be more info centers, especially in old side.
Prepaid connections are very difficult to avail.
Billing rate should be reduced, it is too high.

money.

The means to overcome the needs of the customers have been discussed in this chapter. These
lead to the various recommendations given in chapter 7. Hopefully these recommendations
will create awareness to GrameenPhone authority to resolve the problems of the customers.
Analysis of the Results:
It is already discussed that GrameenPhone is the leading company in the mobile
telecommunication industry in Bangladesh. This has been possible because it has a created a
superior image in comparison to the other operators. In other words, GP has a clear advantage
over competitors.
GrameenPhone has some additional advantageous features in comparisons to its competitors.
There is easier access to person to person contract. Another important thing is that GP users
are mostly satisfied with the initial price of GP connections and handsets. Before GPs
introduction to the market, mobile phones were virtually out of reach to the major part of the
current market. Moreover, GrameenPhone subscribers are happy with the country wide
network.
However, there is dissatisfaction among the GP users with the service of the company. Many
important factors are acting as reasons behind this overall dissatisfaction. Quality of airtime
and network availability is not satisfactory.Grameen Phone connections are difficult to reach
sometimes. It so happens that the subscribers used to pay extra money to get the access. This
is especially true for prepaid service. It is encouraging that very recently situation has
improved to a certain extent bases on the findings in this report.
The Info Centers of GP are very important for some after sales services. But, there is
shortage of capacity of this service, In Dhaka Info Centers are located at Gulshan,
Dhanmondhi, Mothijheel, Uttara, these four centers cannot cope with the demand of vastly
populated Dhaka city. The GP helpline is also an important customer care tool. But it is also
in shortage of capacity. Subscribers need to spend significant amount of time to reach the
helpline. Behavior of the helpline CM is also sometimes unmanageable. They are to handle
