Survey analysis 12
In a service business companies employees are in direct contact with the customer and hence their
behavior with the customer has an influence on customer satisfaction. Ideally employees should exhibit
competence, a caring attitude, responsiveness, initiative, problem solving ability, and goodwill. So they
have to be trained to exhibit appropriate behavior. The employees must have authority to solve problems
that arise in service encounters without much delay and contacting various levels of supervisors. This is
empowerment of service employees.
The physical facilities are important because customers come there and have the service. Hence the
design and maintenance of the facility becomes a marketing issue.
The processes used to deliver the services are marketing issues. If the customer does not like the process
he will not come back. Hence market research has to find out the customer’s likes and dislikes about the
processes.
Hence the idea that service marketing requires internal marketing or involvement of marketing function in
internal aspects of the company or the firm emerged. Internal marketing describes the work done by the
company and marketing department to convey the needs of the potential customers to the service
employees and the effort to train them and motivate them to provide exceptional service to customers.
Another concept in services marketing is interactive marketing. It refers to the skill of employees to
interact with the client in serving the client. Clients judge services by technical quality as well as the
interaction quality. Whether the surgeon has done the operation properly or not is the technical quality.
Whether he has shown concern and inspired confidence or not is interaction quality. Service providers
must provide high touch along with high tech.
Service offer: while the core service could be the primary service package, a firm can come out with
secondary service features that provide differentiation. We always have to remember that an additional
feature added to a product must be valued by the customer and has to be profitable to the company. Hence
marketers are involved to find those features which are valued by the customers and operations or process
specialists are involved to deliver the feature at a cost that is profitable to the company.
Delivery: Reliability in service can be differentiating feature. Many firms find it difficulty to provide
reliability.
Expectations:
Everyone goes through times when they feel the expectations or pressure to achieve certain things,
behave in a particular way, or even to look a certain way. Expectations and pressure might have a positive
influence, helping you to challenge or motivate yourself to do your best. However, unrealistic pressure
might not be helpful, and have a negative impact on your thoughts, feelings, and behavior.
The magnitude and the direction of each gap will affect the service quality. For instance, Gap 3 will be
favourable if the delivery of a service exceeds the standards of service required by the organization, and it
will be unfavourable when the specifications of the service delivered are not met.

First of all the model clearly determines the two different types of gaps in service marketing, namely the
customer gap and the provider gaps. The latter is considered as internal gaps within a service firm. This
model really views the services as a structured, integrated model which connects external customers to
internal services between the different functions in a service organization. Important applications of the
model are as follows:
1. The gaps model of service quality gives insights and propositions regarding customers’
perceptions of service quality.
2. Customers always use 10 dimensions to form the expectation and perceptions of service quality
(Fig. 2).
3. The model helps predict, generate and identify key factors that cause the gap to be unfavourable
to the service firm in meeting customer expectations.
3. Assurance: The knowledge and courtesy of employee and their ability to convey trust and
confidence.
5. Tangibles: Physical evidence of service. Reports, inspections. . We want our customers to know
what we are doing for them, so we have a very elaborate communications system that includes: a
bar code inspection program, a verbal report translatable into E-mail (for an early morning
breakdown of evening activity), and a computerized schedule process, so that our customers
know when to expect specific work items.
Perceptions:
Many factors influence the way in which we perceive the world and the people in it. Our different cultural
backgrounds, life experiences, and personal values all affect our interactions and relationships with
others, as do our personalities, our social skills, and our styles and approaches to dealing with people and
problems. In the workplace, especially as managers and supervisors, we need to learn the skills that
enable us to understand and manage other people’s perceptions of us.
This is not as difficult as you may think, although it does require a good deal of thought, motivation, self-
awareness—and practice. Once you have the skills, however, you will find it easier to communicate with
people and to motivate and lead them.
techniques for managing perceptions can be positive or negative, depending on the context. we live in a
society in which people and organization spend billions employing others—advertising and public
relations companies—to manage perceptions. you can employ the same techniques used by these
companies to influence others and change their perceptions of you. at the very least, you can become
aware of the effect your behavior has on others. at best, you will learn to use this awareness to develop
skills that allow you to manage your behavior in a way that furthers your career.
Careers are no longer managed by organizations, but by individuals themselves. You will be judged not
only on what you do, but on how you do it—so other people’s perceptions and evaluations of you play an
10
important role in your career. People with the skills to influence others’ perceptions have a far better
chance of controlling their own destiny.
Within seconds of meeting someone, you will make an impression on that person. First impressions are
lasting impressions; therefore, if you have made a negative first impression, you will have a hard time
changing it. Doing so requires a consistent flow of new positive messages. That means learning to be
aware of—and ready to evaluate—your behavior at all times. It will take time and energy.
First you must understand both that person’s existing perception and the new one you wish to make. You
then need to create a bridge between the two and find opportunities to convey your positive messages.
The persona you put forward, however, must be you. Any deception will be easy to spot, simply because
living a lie is extraordinarily difficult to sustain.
Why, if I just want to do a good job, should I care what other people think about me?
Common wisdom suggests that you need to take care of your relationships as you move up the career
ladder. People can harbor grudges for years. If someday you should find yourself on the way back down,
you do not want to risk encountering an unforgiving individual in a position of power. If you cannot
change your attitude, you had better have skills that make you indispensable!
To understand how others view you, you need to gain an accurate understanding of yourself.
• Spend some quiet time alone each day examining who you are and who you are not.
• Encourage informal feedback from trusted peers and managers. You may be surprised at how
they perceive you. Be aware that they will give subjective views based on personal opinions, so
attempt to remain objective and explore what about you may have influenced these views.
• More formal tools, such as psychometrics and personality profiles can be helpful. Feedback from
these can be easier to manage because it is objective and involves no third-party relationship.
• 360-degree surveys, which gather the views of audiences, both inside and outside the business,
can be helpful but focus on skills as well as behavior. Be aware of the differences between the
two. While both may be learned and modified, changing the way you behave usually involves
altering personality traits and perceptions and is more difficult than acquiring new technical
skills.
• When reviewing test results, try not to concentrate only on personal information that feels hurtful.
Look for patterns in the feedback. Consider the when’s and why’s. Stress often allows
unintentional behavior to surface. It is possible, too, that you have been completely unaware of
the behavior that has created the impression you want to change.
Remember that building self-awareness requires courage and commitment, so do not allow yourself to
become discouraged by what you learn.
Before you embark on a perception management strategy, determine your goals, how you intend to
accomplish them, and how you will monitor your progress. Focus initially on changing one thing that will
create a quick win.
Consider the context in which you are working and use the feedback you have received to select your
goals. You may have a strong desire to change your behavior and others may have encouraged you to do
so—but remember—people are accustomed to the old you and may not react to the new you as you
expect. It will help if you concentrate on four tracks:
• Communicate your intentions to people who may be affected. Look for an opportunity, such as an
annual formal performance appraisal, to make your intentions known; you will likely win more
support and understanding if things should not work out exactly as you plan. You are also likely
to receive more praise when they do.
• Gain support from your manager or key members of your team to help keep you focused. A good
support group is essential when you seek to change something about yourself-witness the success
of groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous and Weight Watchers.
• Find a coach to provide ongoing direction and support. A coach can make impartial observations
and encourage you to continue, or change, your strategy as you move forward. Working with a
coach takes time and commitment, so allow for this in your plan.
• Evaluate your progress at each milestone in your plan, either formally or informally. You may
wish to keep a daily journal of the details that tend to slip away if they do not get written down.
Frequent informal feedback from friends and colleagues is important. You might tell them in
advance that you intend to approach them for feedback, so that they can consciously pay attention
to your behavior; then give them enough time to observe you before asking for that feedback. A
more formal option is to revisit the 360-degree questionnaire and see whether others have noticed
a change.
The changes you succeed in bringing about may not be immediately recognized by others. It may take
months, but do not lose heart-consistency and perseverance are key.
Do:
Do Not:
In a nutshell, perception management is the ability to create an impression through conscious activities
and awareness of other people and the impact your behavior has on them. To be successful, define your
target audience, superimpose their values on yours, adjust your communication style, encourage
feedback, and be aware of how you adapt at every step of the way.

Conclusion:
In conclusion we want to say customer’s perception is so poor than their expectation from bank.
Customer’s expectation much more high, on the other hand they are not satisfied about their perceptions.
Maximum customer focus prompt service, error free record and quick transaction than modern looking
equipment, physical facilities etc.
