Executive summary

I have conducted a study on “Customer Satisfaction”
by studying the overall administration.
During the course of my studies, I got detailed
information about Basaveshwara Motors; its organization &
administration. I have analyzed the sales & service procedure
of the company. I have collected the data by random
sampling method. I have placed conclusions with some
recommendations. Because of time constraint I have judged
the customer satisfaction with limited ratios & study of
problem in brief.

OVERVIEW OF TWO- WHEELERS MOTORS

History:



The Britannica Encyclopedia describes a motorcycle
or tricycle propelled by an internal- combustion engine (or
less often by an electric engine).
The motors as mini bikes, scooters, & mopeds or
motorized velocipedes, are usually air-cooled and range from
100 to 250 cc (1.5 to 15 cubic inches) in displacement, the
multiple-cylinder motorcycles have displacements of more
then 1300 cc.
The automobile was the reply to the 19 th century
dream of self-propelling the horse-drawn carriage. Similarly
the invention of the motorcycle created the self-propelled
bicycle. The first commercial design was a three wheeler
built by Edward Butler in Great Britain in 1884. This
employed a horizontal single-cylinder gasoline mounted
between two steer able front wheels and connected by a drive
chain to the rear wheel.

The 1900s saw the conversion of many bicycles, or
pedal cycle by adding small, centrally mounted spark ignition
engines. There was then felt the need for reliable



constructions. This led to road trail tests & competition
between manufacturers. Tourist trophy (TT) races were held
on the Isle of Man in 1907 as reliability or endurance races.
Such were the proving ground for many new ideas from two-
stroke-cycle designs to supercharge, multivalve engine
mounted on aerodynamic, carbon fiber reinforced bodywork

Origin of Motor - Scooters.

Edward Butler, an Englishman, built the 1 st motor
tricycle in 1884. The 1st gasoline-engine motorcycle to



appear publicly was built by Gottlieb Daimler, of Bad
Cannstatt, Germany in1885. The French and Belgians,
followed by British, German, Italian, & American makers,
designed the 1st practical engines and motorcycles.
The popularity of the vehicle grew, especially after
1910. During World War I all branches of the armed forces
in Europe, principally for dispatching, used the motorcycle.
After the war it enjoyed a sport vague until the Great
Depression began in 1929. After World War II a revival of
interest in motorcycles lasted into the late 20 th century, with
the vehicle being of high-speed touring & sport competitions.
The practice of attaching auxiliary engines to bicycles
in Western Europe & parts of US led to the development
during the 1950s of a new type of light motorcycle, the
moped. Originating in Germany as a 50 cc machine with
simple controls & low initial costs, it was largely, free of
licensing and insurance regulations except in Great Britain.

The more sophisticated motor scooter
originated in Italy soon World War II, led by
manufacture of a 125cc mode. Despite strong



competition from West Germany, France,
Austrian, & Britain, the Italian scooters
maintained the lead in the diminishing market. The
scooter has small wheels from 20 to 36 cm (8 to 14
inches) in diameter, and the rider sits inside the
frame. Power units are placed low & close to the
rear wheel, which does level gearing or chain drive.
Capacities vary from 100 to 250 cc & four- speed
gearing is common.

INTRODUCTION TO HERO HONDA
AUTO LTD

The HERO HONDA Group came into existence
during the turmoil & the euphoria of India’s freedom
struggle. Jamnalal j, founder of the HERO HONDA group,



was a confidant & disciple of Mahatma Gandhi, & was
deeply involved in the effort for freedom. The integrity
dedication resourcefulness & the determination and to
succeed which are the characteristics of the company today,
are often tracked back to its births during those long days of
relentless devotion to a common cause.
Kamalnayan, the eldest son of Jamnalalj, succeeded
his father in 1942, at the age of twenty-seven. Putting the
nation before business, he devoted himself to the latter only
after India achieved Independence in 1947, but when he did
so, put his heart and soul into it. Within a short while, he not
only consolidated the Group, but also diversified into various
manufacturing activities, elevating the Group to the status it
enjoys till this day.
Rahul today heads the Group. He has been the Chief
Executive Officer of Hero Honda since 1968 and is
recognized as one of the most outstanding business leaders in
India. As dynamic and ambitious as his illustrious
predecessors, he has been recognized for his achievements at
various national and international forums.
Hero Honda is currently India’s largest two and three-
wheeler manufacturer and one of the biggest in the world.
Hero Honda has long left behind its annual turnover of Rs.72



million (1968), to currently register an impressive figure of
Rs.42.16 billion (US$ 936 million).

INFRASTRUCTURE, HIRARCHEY OF
THE SERVICE STATION…

station to meet all the needs of BASAVESHWARA
MOTORS customers. BASAVESHWARA MOTORS

PROFILE OF ILKAL TOWN

About 30 years ago ILKAL known for the handloom
silk sarees where every house had handloom industry. This
saree is a prime requirement in all marriage in northern part
of Karnataka and some parts of Maharastra. By the time the
whole world was fascinated by lustrous and unmatched look
of Balakundi pink granite. Initially only few companies who
are pioneer in granites have started exploration & export of
granites. Slowly people got awareness about granite
quarrying export market and high profit margin have entered
into granite quarrying. Now there are about 150 quarries
situated around ILKAL town & contributing more then 30%
share of total granite export of INDIA. Hence ILKAL is
well-progressed town since its name is well known in the
international market.
Besides there are about 30 to 40 granite tile cutting
and polishing factories at outskirts of ILKAL & nearby
villages. As all the quarries are situated at interior places.



Four wheelers cannot go to operating areas hence two
wheelers have become inevitable of all quarry owners.
Besides all these the population of the town is more
then 85000 & it is the major growing town in Hungund taluk
Due to above all, life standards of people is above average
& hence has a better purchase capacity. And ILKAL is
attached to about 15 major villages and thereby floating
population is highly appreciable. Hence ILKAL is the
proposed town of taluk therefore there is a strong feeling
with public that there is a huge scope for sales promotion of
Hero honda vehicles and hence good opportunity for after
sales service and sales.
At present there are two dealers of
motor vehicle at ILKAL, one is BAJAJ sales and service
showroom and another one is TVS SUZUKI sub dealer.
Therefore it is an opportunity for us to
people in a better way through HERO HONDA (i.e. DESH
KI DHADKAN).

Customer Satisfaction

Defining customer value & satisfaction. Over 38 years
ago, Peter Dhuker observed that a company’s first task is “To
create customers” However, customers face a vast array of
products and brand choices, price & suppliers. How do they
make their choices?
We believe that our customers estimate which offer
will deliver the most value. Customer are value maximizes
within the bounds rich costs & limited knowledge, whether
or not the offer lives up to value expectation affects both
satisfaction and repurchase probability.

Customer Perceived Value:



Our premise is that customer will buy from the firm
that they see as offering the highest perceived value.
Customer perceived value (CPV) is the difference between
the prospective customers evaluation of all the benefits and
all the costs of an offering & the perceived alternatives. Total
customer value is the perceived monetary value of the bundle
of economic, functional & psychological benefits customers
expect from a given market offering.
Total customers cost is the bundle of costs customers
expect to incur in evaluating, obtaining, using & disposing of
the given market offering.

Total Customer Satisfaction:
Whether the buyer is satisfied after the purchase
depends on the offer’s performance in relation to the buyer’s
expectations. In, general satisfaction is a person’s feeling of
pleasure or disappointment resulting from compiling a
product’s perceived performance (or outcome) in relation to
his or her expectations. If the performance falls short of
expectations, performance matches the expectations, the
customer is satisfied. If the performance exceeds
expectations, the customer is highly satisfied or delighted



The link between customer satisfaction and customer
loyalty is not proportional. Suppose customer satisfaction is
rated on a scale from one to five. At a very low level of
customer satisfaction (level one), customers are likely to
abandon the company and even bad mouth it. At levels two
to four, customers are fairly satisfied but still find it easy to
switch when a better offer comes along. At level five, the
customer is very likely to repurchase & even spread good
word or delight creators an emotional bond with the brand or
company not just a rational preference.
Measuring satisfaction although the customer centered
firm seek to create high customer satisfaction, that is not its
main goal. If the company increases customer satisfaction by
lowering its price or increasing its service, the result may be
lower profits.
The company may be able to increase its profitability
by means other than increased satisfaction (for example, by
improving manufacturing processes or investing more in
R&D) Also, the company has many stake holders including
employers, dealers, suppliers, & stock holder. Spending more
to increase customer satisfaction might divert funds from
increasing the satisfaction of their “Partners”. Ultimately, the
company must operate on the philosophy that it is trying to



deliver a high level of customer satisfaction subject to
delivering acceptable levels of satisfaction to the other
stakeholders, given its total resources.

Attracting customers:
Today customers are becoming harder to please. They
are smarter, more price conscious, more demanding, less
forgiving, & they are approached by many more competitors
with equal or better offers. The challenge, according to Jeffery
Gitomer is not to produce statistical customers; several
competitors can do this. The challenge is to produce delighted
& loyal customers.
Companies seeking to expand their profits & sales
have to spend considerable time and resources searching for
new customer. To generate leads, the company develops ads &
places them in media that will reach new prospects, it sends
direct mail & makes phone calls to possible new prospects; its
sales people participate in made shows where they might find



new leads; & so on. All this activity produces a list of
suspects.
To motivate its employees to serve the customers
well, it displays the following poster prominently around its
office.

Who is a customer?
A customer is the most important person ever in this
office……. In personal by mail.
A customer is not dependent on us…….. We are dependent on
him
A customer is not an interruption at our work ……. He is the
purpose of it.
We are not doing a favor by serving him …….. he is doing a
favor by giving us the opportunity to do so.
A customer is not someone to argue. Or match wins with.
Nobody ever won an argument with the customer.
A customer is a person who brings us his wants. It is our job to
handle them profitably & to ourselves.



Forming strong customer bonds: The Basics
Companies that want to form strong customer bonds
need to attend to the following basics.
Get cross-departmental participation in planning and
managing the customer satisfaction and retention process.
Integrate the voice of the customers in all business
decisions.
Create superior products, services, and experiences for
the target market.
Organize & make accessible a database of information
on individual customer needs, preferences, contacts, purchase
frequency & satisfaction.
Make it easy for customer to reach appropriate
company personnel and express their needs perceptions and
complaints.

Tools for tracking & measuring customer satisfaction:
-Complaint & suggestion systems:
A customer-centered organization makes it easy for
customer to register suggestion and complaints. Some
customer-centered companies- P&G, General Electric, and
Whirlpool- establish hotlines with toll free numbers.



Companies are also using web & E-mail for quick, two- way
communication.
-Customer satisfaction surveys:
Studies show that although customers are dissatisfied
with one out of every four purchases, less than 5% will
complain, most customers will buy test or switch suppliers.
Responsive companies measure customer satisfaction directly
by conducting periodic surveys while collecting C.S data, it is
also useful to ask additional questions to measure repurchase
intention & to measure the likelihood or willingness to
recommend the company and brand to others.
Host shopping:
Companies can hire people to pose as potential buyers
to report on strong & weak points experienced in buying the
company’s & competitor products. These shoppers can even
test how the companies’ sales person handles various
situations. Managers themselves should leave their offices
from time to time, entire company and competitors sales
situations where they are unknown, & experience first hand
treatment they receive. A variant of this is for managers to
phone their own company with questions & complaints to see
company with questions & complaints to see how the calls are
handled.



Lost customer analysis:
Companies should contact customers who have
switched to another supplier to learn why this happened. Not
only this, it is also important to conduct exit interviews when
customers first stop buying, it is also necessary to monitor the
customer lost rate.
