What is customer relationship management?

Customer relationship management (CRM) is an approach of managing company’s interaction with current and future customers. It often involves using technology to organize,

automate, and synchronize sales, marketing, customer service, and technical support.

“CRM is concerned with the creation, development and enhancement of individualised customer relationships with carefully targeted customers and customer groups resulting in maximizing their total customer life-time value”.

CRM is “the development and maintenance of mutually beneficial long-term relationships with strategically significant customers”.

CHARACTERISTICS:

CRM is a customer-oriented feature with service response based on customer input, one-to-one solutions to customers' requirements, direct online communications with customer and customer service centres that are intended to help customers solve their issues. It includes the following functions:

Sales force automation , which implements sales promotion analysis, automates the tracking of a client's account history for repeated sales or future sales, and coordinates sales, marketing, call centres, and retail outlets.

Data warehouse  technology, used to aggregate transaction information, to merge the information with CRM products, and to provide key performance indicators.

Opportunity management  which helps the company to manage unpredictable growth and demand, and implement a good forecasting model to integrate sales history with sales projections.

CRM systems that track and measure marketing campaigns over multiple networks, tracking customer analysis by customer clicks and sales

ORIGIN OF CRM

Customer relationship management was originated in early 1970s.

CRM came as a process that dealt with relationships with customers surpassing the whole business.

As said by Father of management “The true business of every company is to make and keep customers”

8

IMPACT ON CUSTOMER SATISFACTION

The implementation of CRM is likely to have an effect on customer satisfaction for at least three reasons:

Firstly, firms are able to customize their offerings for each customer. By accumulating information across customer interactions and processing this information to discover hidden patterns, CRM applications help firms customize their offerings to suit the individual tastes of their customers. This customization enhances the perceived quality of products and services from a customer's viewpoint, and because perceived quality is a determinant of customer satisfaction, it follows that CRM applications indirectly affect customer satisfaction.

Secondly, CRM applications enable firms to provide timely, accurate processing of customer orders and requests and the on-going management of customer accounts. For example, Piccolo and Applegate (2003) discuss how Wyndham uses IT tools to deliver a consistent service experience across its various properties to a customer. Both an improved ability to customize and a reduced variability of the consumption experience enhance perceived quality, which in turn positively affects customer satisfaction.

Thirdly, CRM applications also help firms manage customer relationships more effectively across the stages of relationship initiation, maintenance, and termination

TYPES:

Call centres

As well as tracking, recording and storing customer information, CRM systems in call centres codify the interactions between company and customers by using analytics and key performance indicators to give the users information on where to focus their marketing and customer service. The intention is to maximize average revenue per user, decrease churn and decrease idle and unproductive contact with the customers.CRM software can also be used to identify and reward loyal customers over a period of time.

Growing in popularity is the idea of gratifying customer service environments. The repetitive and tedious act of answering support calls all day can be draining, even for the most enthusiastic customer service representative. When agents are bored with their work, they become less engaged and less motivated to do their jobs well. They are also prone to making mistakes. Gratification tools can motivate agents by tapping into their visceral need for reward, status, achievement, and competition.

Business-to-business

According to a Sweeney Group definition, CRM is "all the tools, technologies and procedures to manage, improve, or facilitate sales, support and related interactions with customers, prospects, and business partners throughout the enterprise". It assumes that CRM is involved in every B2B transaction.

Despite the general notion that CRM systems were created for the customer-centric businesses, they can also be applied to B2B environments to streamline and improve customer management conditions. For the best level of CRM operation in a B2B environment, the software must be personalized and delivered at individual levels.

Social media

Balaam (2010) presented evidence of a significant increase in the use of social networking sites, especially among young people. This has caused companies to use these

9

sites to draw attention to their products, services and brands, with the aim of building up customer relationships to increase demand.

Some CRM systems integrate social media sites like Twitter, LinkedIn and Face book to track and communicate with customers sharing their opinions and experiences with a company, products and services.

Enterprise Feedback Management software platforms such as Confirmit, Medallia, and Satmetrix combine internal survey data with trends identified through social media to allow businesses to make more accurate decisions on which products to supply.

ABOUT PROJECTThe project was carried out for understanding the customer behaviour in Current Account of Jammu and Kashmir Bank, South branch and its market potential.

JAMMU AND KASHMIR BANK was established in the year 1938, they are old players in banking sector, and the bank has two principle client segments –customer and asset management. The bank follows value such as – Integrity, teamwork, respect, professionalism, & Mission. The segment of bank we are considering here is- Corporate banking. The product out of which I have chosen for research is Current Accounts. This research helps us in finding out the customers view regarding the product and Services offered by the JAMMU AND KASHMIR BANK and awareness by promotion and also identifying the market potential of

the product offered by the JAMMU AND KASHMIR BANK. The project was carried out in south city of Kashmir with an objective of knowing CRM level of bank with bank services and does customers aware about the different types of Current Account with various schemes, Services and different offers provide by the bank. The total sample size taken was one hundred (100) from various markets of the Kashmir. The research shows that the market potential for the bank is very good and so many customers are not aware of the services provided by the bank which are not provided by other banks. On the other hand we have also the existing customers of JAMMU AND KASHMIR BANK Who are satisfied with the working style of bank, but want continuous updates about the new service schemes and other products of bank. They want that bank should do promotional activity as – Advertising, so that they can be updated while sitting at home. The researcher used the method of questionnaire to know all feedback

HISTORY OF JAMMU AND KASHMIR BANK

Entire banking in the state of Jammu and Kashmir was performed by traditional

money lenders till 1920-30 and that too at exorbitant interest rates. At the same time

some banks functioned but at a very limited scale, such as Punjab National bank,

Grind lays bank and Imperial bank of India.

The role of these banks was reduced to the acceptance of deposits, as they could

not grant loans and advances to the people of the state owing to the statutory

limitations. Under this scenario banks could not ameliorate the financial and social position

of people of the state. To overcome this critical situation , then Maharaja of State

conceived an idea of setting up of a State bank in the State. After prolonged

exercises and deliberations the assignment for establishment of “The Jammu &

Kashmir Bank Limited” was given to the late Sir Sorabji N Pochkhanwala

formulated a scheme on 24.09.1930, suggesting establishment of a semi State bank

with participation in capital by State and public under the control of State

Government. Thus the bank was formally incorporated on 1st of October 1938 and

commenced business from 4th of July 1939 at its registered office, Residency Road,

Srinagar, Kashmir.

In its formative years, the bank had to encounter several serious problems, particularly

around the time of independence, when out of its Total of 10 branches two branches

of Muzaffarabad and Mirpur fell to the other side of line of control (Now Pak

Administered Kashmir) along with cash and other assets in 1947. However, State Govt.

came to its rescue with the assistance of Rs. 6.00 lacks to meet the claims. The

bank steadfastly overcame its difficulties and kept growing. Following the extension

of Central Laws to the State of Jammu & Kashmir, the bank was defined as a Govt.

company as per the provisions of Indian Companies Act 1956.The Bank had its first

full time Chairman in 1971 was a turning point for the bank on conferment of

scheduled bank status and witnessed remarkable progress in all vital fields of

operations. Reserve Bank of India declared the bank as ‘A’ class bank in 1976. In

recognition of dominant role and exalted performance, RBI entrusted the Bank as its

agent for performing the general banking business of the Central Govt., especially

in maintaining currency chest and collection of taxes.

operational efficiency, overall performance, etc the bank has been felicitated by the

Peter C. Verhoef (2003) Scholars have questioned the “effectiveness of several customer

relationship management strategies”. The author investigates the differential effects of

customer relationship perceptions and relationship marketing instruments on customer

retention and customer share development over time. Customer relationship perceptions are

considered evaluations of relationship strength and a supplier’s offerings, and customer share

development is the change in customer share between two periods. The results show that

affective commitment and loyalty programs that provide economic incentives positively

affect both customer retention and customer share development, whereas direct mailings

influence customer share development.

Wang and Lo (2004) found that “CRM model is based on two perspectives”. The first one,

measures the factors related to customer behaviour such as: repurchasing, cross and up selling

and customer acquisition rate, and the second one measures the relationship quality, such as

customer satisfaction and customer loyalty (Wang and Lo, 2004). Data were collected from

400 randomly selected customers of two security china’s company. According to the

emphasizing customer equity-base view, findings explores that emotional and functional

behaviour of customers has positive impact on customer satisfaction and customer

satisfaction has positive effect on customer behaviour based CRM. Finally, the result of this

study shows that customer behaviour based CRM have a positive effect on customer and

brand loyalty.

E.W.T. Ngai, (2005) To review the “academic literature on customer relationship

management (CRM)”, provide a comprehensive bibliography and propose a method of

classifying that literature A range of online databases were searched to provide a

comprehensive listing of journal articles on CRM. Six hundred articles were identified and

reviewed for their direct relevance to CRM. Two hundred and five articles were subsequently

selected. Each of these articles was further reviewed and classified. The review and

classification process was independently verified. All papers were allocated to the main and

sub‐categories based on the major focus of each paper.

Adrian Payne, PennieFrow (2005) In this article, the authors develop a“ conceptual

framework for customer relationship management (CRM)” that helps broaden the

24

understanding of CRM and its role in enhancing customer value and, as a result, shareholder

value. The authors explore definitional aspects of CRM, and they identify three alternative

perspectives of CRM. The authors emphasize the need for a cross-functional, process-

oriented approach that positions CRM at a strategic level. They identify five key cross-

functional CRM processes: a strategy development process, a value creation process, a

multichannel integration process, an information management process, and a performance

assessment process.

Kumar, V. (2010), “Customer relationship management (CRM)” refers to building one-to-

one relationships with customers that can drive value for the firm. This manuscript discusses

proven CRM strategies that companies can use as means of effective customer management

(CM). The continuing evolution of CM is made possible by understanding the interactive

relationships that develop between firms and customers and among customers themselves.

Firms will increasingly be able to customize marketing messages to larger target audiences

on the basis of the customer's expected response and the customer's value to the firm.

Cabãu Liviu-Gabriel (2012) this article is considered to be a “landmark in both academic

and business area, regarding the Customer Relationship Management (CRM)”. Based on

previous research found in the literature, the paper aims to clarify the concept of CRM.

Critical research results are reflected in the formulated responses on the following aspects of

CRM: CRM context, CRM definition, CRM importance and objectives, CRM failure and

CRM research. Finally, the article presents the main findings and some conclusions related to

the current research.

Thomas Dotzel, Venkatesh Shankar and Leonard L Berry. (2013) this research “evaluates

the effect of customer relationship management (CRM)” on customer knowledge and

customer satisfaction. An analysis of archival data for a cross-section of U.S. firms shows

that the use of CRM applications is positively associated with improved customer knowledge

and improved customer satisfaction. This article also shows that gains in customer knowledge

are enhanced when firms share their customer-related information with their supply chain

partners.

Demat A/c 5%

Interpretation:-

We can infer from this figure that a large no of 39% respondents are having the core facility of the bank i.e. saving a/c and 22% are also using credit card of the bank. All the other facility such as demat a/c, current a/c, loan and internet banking is being used by very small portion of respondents of 5%, 6%, 5% and 11% respectively. A drawback can be easily identified that none of the respondents are using mobile banking facility, thus, J&K Bank should come up with many attracting features to encourage mobile banking.

Interpretation:-

The above graph shows that ATM services, credit card, bank a/c and especially locker facility is rated high most by large no. of respondents. Locker facility is generally not considered by most of the customers but J&K Bank is doing well in this category, thus, it should be strengthening this facility and should make available to large customers. Internet banking, mobile banking and demat a/c are rated lower by many respondents, thus, company should be extending its strength to this new generation facilities.

Question 4:- Please rate your satisfaction level in your current bank?

Highly satisfied16%

Dissatisfied12%

Interpretation:-

The most important aspect for any organisation is to be rated high on satisfaction level by its

customers. Here, the graph reflects that 68% of respondents are satisfied with J&K Bank and

even 16% are highly satisfied. Only 12% are dissatisfied and the best part is that none of the

respondents felt highly dissatisfied with the services of the bank. Thus, company should also

focus on this 12% dissatisfied because dissatisfaction leads to increase in dissatisfied

customers.

Interpretation:-

It can be clearly see that 56% of respondents do have complaints regarding bank besides they

are satisfied with bank and only 44% feels that they would not complain regarding services of

the bank. It generally happens when customers do have complaints and do not want to switch

to other service provider due to their loyalty towards the bank. They want to stay with the

bank and desire to get resolution to their problems. Therefore, J&K Bank should effectively

handle the complaints of its customers to make them satisfied and un-complained.

19%

Interpretation:-

Here, 31% of the respondents believe that they do not get their service on time and there happens delays in delivery of services. Waiting time is always unproductive for customers as well as bank because it is also loss of opportunity and may also lead to switching of customers to competitors. Among all the respondents, 21% feels that the employees of the bank do not proactively response their queries and complaints and 13% of respondents have also experienced that employees were rude to them while interacting. These two aspects are related to behaviour of employees that may influence a customer to be loyal and may also spoil the long term relationship with the bank in a while. Thus, the bank should conduct some soft skill training to make the employees behave with customers in a good manner. Moreover, 19 % responses were about insecurity in digital banking such as internet and mobile banking and that is why most customers do not use these facilities. Thus, J&K Bank should come up with good secure system and ensure the security and should convey the same to its customers effectively in taking their confidence.

44

SUGGESTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

1. J&K Bank should also focus on the other services like providing loan, internet banking, mobile banking, etc.

2. The employees of J&K Bank should change their behaviour otherwise they will lose their customers.

3. J&K bank should provide quick services to the customers. For that they have to either change their staff or provide training to their employees.

4. Since the customers are loyal towards the bank, so they should also be loyal towards them.

RECOMMENDATIONS:-

1. Bank should hire professional people from the local community they are trying to serve to improve understanding and performance, also increased comfort levels and trust for customers. Attractive salaries and benefits can motivate employees to perform their duties well.

2. Bank should focus on measuring current business volumes in branch/geographic penetration, to help predict future value/growth patterns; in branch marketing research, to ensure understanding of customers’ satisfaction levels, service expectations, customer loyalty etc. and tracking the success of advertising and PR and transfer learning into future campaigns.

3. Measurement is a key to the understanding, learning and improvement customer experience. Banking sector management needs actively to articulate the need for an improved and consistent customer experience and branch managers should localize this approach and coach their staff to deliver it.

4. Banks should use customer friendly technology – which their customer can use and brings value in their life.

5. Banks should recognize the diversity of experience and needs of different customers.6. Banks need to develop the propositions both relevant and practical, but not too complex.7. Banks should get support from local media, newspapers and magazines to build

commitment and trust in the community and to reflect values and aspiration of local community in services and products.

CONCLUSION

Although all banks recognize the need for CRM, not every bank is implementing the complete CRM concept. The way CRM has been implemented thus far seems to depend heavily on the current balance between the discretionary and advisory services that the bank provides.Customer Relationship Management is beneficial for all stakeholders: customers, employees, and investors. It is being used large or small banks in India as well as abroad. Due to privatization, deregulation, and globalization competition has increased. J&K Bank has implemented CRM to some extent, but still is on the initial stage. It has invested a lot of money in implemented various IT based solution to make its banking operations more easy, convenience for its customers but in terms of its customer dealing, it needs to more to make its customers satisfied.

J&K BANK has got more positive and favourable response from the respondents and especially in case of recommendation by customers to his/her family members where it has higher positive response. Therefore, the company should focus on improving the behaviour its employees to convert these 12% and 4% respondents into satisfied customers that will not only give their future business to the bank but also do positive word of mouth that is the best communication tool used by any company. None of the respondents use platinum card scheme.

LIMITATIONS OF CRM

1.     Time constraint is unavoidable limitation of my study.

2.     Financial problem is also there in completing this project in a proper way.

3.     As no work has been done earlier in this regard so scarcity of secondary data is also there.

4.     Inadequate disclosure of information is also the problem.

5. Lack of mentor during my study.
