ABSTRACT
The prime objective of the research work is to develop a framework for Customer
Relationship Management Model (CRMM), applicable to Indian retail banks and to
analyze the influence of service quality on customer behavior with respective to retail
banks. The results of the research study reveal that there appears to be lack of
awareness with the bank employees as well as adoption of CRM packages available in
the market. It is suggested that the successful implementation of CRM package can be
achieved only if the bank can create the right environment, culture and attitude of the
employee aiming to serve the customers in the best possible manner.
Keywords: Customer Relationship Management (CRM); Retail Bank; Standard
Processing Time (SPT) and Crafting Complaint Resolution Mechanism (CCRM)
1.0 INTRODUCTION TO CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP
MANAGEMENT (CRM)
The traditional mode of marketing mainly focused on segmenting and
acquiring new customers by using tools and techniques developed for mass
marketing. In the present competitive era, this proves vain. Today there are different
approaches to business such as relationship marketing, customer retention and cross-
selling leading to customer extension, which is a far cry from the traditional
segmentation model.
The relative and marked emergence of CRM as a business strategy has
radically transformed the way organizations operate. The shift in business focus from
transactional to relationship marketing keeps the customer at the centre of all business
activities. Organizations are trying to restructure their processes to meet the needs of
their strategically significant customers. The critical driver of such a dramatic shift
towards customer orientation is the realization that customers are business assets and
when managed effectively they can derive continuous and sustainable economic value
for an organization over their lifetime.
The dynamics of the banking ecosystem have changed the business format of
retail banks both in relationship management and in streamlining their operations.

Relationship marketing or customer relationship management has been emerging as a
core marketing activity for businesses in the fiercely competitive environment. On an
average, companies spend six times more to acquire new customers than to retain
them. Therefore, many firms are now paying more attention to their relationships with
existing customers to retain them and to increase their share of customer purchases.
In order to improve the relations with the customers, today’s Retail Banking
comprehensively concentrates on the quality of the products and the services offered
to the customer, as it is the basic foundation for maintaining and developing long-term
relations with the customer. Offering quality products and services is not only
essential to develop long-term customer relations, but is also essential to improve
marketing productivity and long run profits and growth.
In sum, managing customers today has turned into a well formulated and well
studied science and art known as Customer Relationship Management (or) CRM.
2.0 STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
The intensity of competition in banking industry is bound to grow in the years
to come which in turn could make banking operations more challenging and complex.
A paradigm shift is noticeable in the banking industry in India. Such a shift reflects in
terms of number of banks, Volume of Business in banking as well as nature of
business operations. Bankers in general have moved a long way from mere financial
intermediaries to full-fledged financial institutions.
In the context of competing bankers who are performing with almost
undifferentiated services, for almost equal prices; the customers of one bank are left
with multiple options to move over to some other banks in search of better services,
with little or no barrier of switch over from one bank to another.
Bankers have to necessarily perform their banking operations with the
likelihood risk of the customer making a bank switches over at any given point of
time that might result in decline in revenue or loss of revenue on the whole.
To prevent or minimize this possibility of customer deflection; bankers have
to come out with customer centric strategic decision. Obviously the conditions draw
the attention in evolving meaningful CRM which would provide a platform for not
only retaining existing customers but also to expand the customer base by attracting
additional customers.
In a rapidly scaling up retail banking industry, the major issues are to hold
back the existing customers from migrating towards competitors and in acquiring new
customers. In retail banking, product development is limited to the government
regulations henceforth the other major challenge is to have product differentiation.
3.0 STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES
• To develop a framework for Customer Relationship Management Model
(CRMM), applicable to Indian retail banks.
• To analyze the influence of service quality on customer behavior with
respective to retail banks.
• To examine and assess customer satisfaction levels and their influence in
building the customer loyalty to achieve a sustained market share and
profit.
• To examine and assess the external and internal service quality perceptions
in respect of retail banks.

4.0 REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Government of India has appointed several committees and task force groups
on the basis off specific needs with the overall aim of enhancing the efficiency of the
banking systems in the country. Following is the review of selected reports and
Studies. Further, Select research Studies, in the area pertaining to the field of research
has also been reviewed
Various Committees have been appointed from time to time to study service
quality in banks and to provide concrete recommendations. The Banking Commission
appointed Saraiya Committee in 1972 which provides 77 recommendations, followed
by Talwar Committee (1975) with 176 suggestions and Goipuria Committee (1980)
which studied the causes of below par customer service in banks and suggested 97
recommendations for improvement of work culture in Indian banking. These
recommendations give a clear picture about the need of CRM in banks.
Barbara R Lewis1 (1991),in a research on service quality, an empirical
research findings presented from an investigation of consumer expectation and
perception of service quality customer of banks, in the UK and US; indicated the
importance of a range of elements of services quality and their perception of service
actually received.
Number of similarities and difference between the UK and the US respondents
are highlighted together with evidence of success to date of the banks in their delivery
of service quality. In their findings with respect to the increasing customers,
expectations both the UK and the US respondents were found to have very high
expectation of service from their banks across most of the dimensions which were
investigated, in particular with respect to the reliability elements, honesty,
trustworthiness and discretion of contact staff. The UK bank customer gave higher
rating to privacy, interior and staff appearances and using customer suggestions to
improve service and the US respondents were more concerned about location and
parking, opening hours, number of staff available to serve and several of the personal
characteristics of bank staff they came in contact with.
Median and Arthur2 (1994), in a study investigate the main dimensions and
attributes that Greek cardholders consider of importance. When selecting a card
market, characteristic competitive environment and cardholders profiles in relation to
credit is considered. By investigating a representative quota sample of Greek
cardholders taking into account demographic factors such as age, sex and income on
the relative important of the main attributes that play a role in card selection.
Freeman and Andrew3 (1996) have examined an electronic banking
experiment by an American bank, First union, at a branch in Asheville, North
Carolina, the use of so-called customer relationship managers and challenges the bank
faces from customer behavior. The findings shows that customer get elated by a new
look. The walls knocked out to create open areas and desks repositioned to seem; less
intimidating. The ATM in the branches, being enhanced to offer such services as

Pacek, Megan4 (2000) highlighted a survey conducted by American
Management Systems showing that the financial services company that got the most
profit from their retail customer did so with integrated cross-departmental strategies.
He also said that the process of CRM should involve identifying your most valuable
customer and making sure to put together special tactics that help them through the
transition. He conclude by saying in a merger one of the key factors of success is the
systematic management of the 20 % who are profitable while not ignoring the other
80 % and ensuring that the key value segments are experiencing minimal disruption.
Tynan and Thomas5 (2000) reported on the Internet’s influence on bank CRM
in United State. They went into the importance of CRM to banks profits; Customer
comparison of the level and customization of services and the use of customer
services to generate sales. The findings suggest the optimal program for banks as
managing the customer experience; generate customer insight and managing customer
value.

6.0 DATA ANALYSIS
Explanatory factor analysis is used to identify the underlying constructs and
investigate relationship among the variables. To test the suitability of the data for
factor analysis, the following steps are taken.
• The correlation matrix was computed and examined. It reveals that
there are enough correlations to go ahead with factor analysis.
• To test the sampling adequacy, Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin measure of
sampling adequacy is computed which is found to be 0.804. It indicates
that sample is good for sampling.
The overall significance of correlation matrices is tested with Bartlett test of
sphericity ((Approximately Chi-square 4442.044 and significant at 0.000) provided as
well as support for the validity of the factor analysis of the data set.

The table above shows that the standards indicated makes the data suitable for factor
analysis. Principal component Analysis is employed for extracting factor. Orthogonal
rotation with Varimax was applied. The latent root criterion is used for extraction of
factors. As per it, only the factors having Eigen values greater than one are considered
significant. All the factors with Eigen values less than 1 are considered insignificant and
disregarded.

bank accessibility.
7.0 SUGGESTION AND CONCLUSION
7.1 Suggestion
1. Customer Relationship Manager
In the course of the research study there is a constant switch over of 90
percent of the customers over a period of 3 to 5 years. The major factor for
such switch over is the lack of satisfaction in the service delivery and
personalized products/services that cater to the needs of the customer. Hence it
is suggested to have a dedicated relationship manager to measure the
satisfaction levels of the customer
2. Identify Customer Expectation
Identifying expectations of the customers and meeting the expectations
by suitable products/services is one of the key elements of relationship
management. It is suggested through the research study that the identification
of expectation can be identified from the customer’s perceived service quality
delivery and the satisfaction level of the customers.
3. Personalized Product/Services
It is suggested that, bankers may encourage suitable contribution of
ideas towards innovative product and services from all concerned in the
process of product/Services design and delivery system. Such an approach is
suggested to be continuous in character.
4. Building Delivery Channels
Hence it is suggested to build more functional delivery channels to
reduce the complexity in delivering the products/services. Inspite of
advancements in delivery channels like ATMs, Internet banking and mobile
banking only few are gaining popularity among the customers. The retail
banks need to create more awareness and increase the utilization level of the
delivery channels. This will improve the service quality, reduces cost of
providing the service, minimizes the delivery time and in building Eco
friendly delivery system.
5. Crafting Complaint Resolution Mechanism(CCRM)
In the research study the varying nature of customer complaints can be
observed. The customers look for a system to express their complaints and get
it resolved in time. It is observed from the study that it takes on an average,
approximately three days to redress the grievance of a complaint which effects
on the satisfaction level. Therefore it is suggested to craft a complaint
resolution mechanism to bring a logical end to the issues thereby minimizing
the customer complaint cycle. This will strengthen the relationship with the
customer and build a reliability quotient in the operations.
6. Standard Processing Time(SPT)
Generally the retail bank customer expects the service to be offered at
the right time. In this context it is suggested that every service should be
framed to a standard processing time and need to explicitly specify to the
49

customers. The employees need to follow the SPT and bring reliability in the
system.
7. Improving Customer Interaction
The interaction with customers is an essential input for effective
customer relationship. Active interaction at periodic intervals would reveal the
relationship status. It is therefore suggested that, bankers may come forward
with appropriate and effective interaction mechanism. In this context, the
researcher could observe that some banks have already initiated steps such as,
appointment of relationship managers. Such approaches should further be
activated aiming at total customer interaction leading to build up better
relationship.
8. Customization of CRM Packages
The results of the research study reveal that there appears to be lack of
awareness with the bank employees as well as adoption of CRM packages
available in the market. It is suggested that the successful implementation of
CRM package can be achieved only if the bank can create the right
environment, culture and attitude of the employee aiming to serve the
customers in the best possible manner.
7.2 CONCLUSION
The study brings to light the various aspects relating to relationship building in
retail Banking Industry. The variables identified are contributing towards relationship
building and dissolution of relationship. It will definitely help bankers to evolve
appropriate strategies towards relationship building. The study also found that there is
a difference in the service quality perception of customers and bankers as regard to
several aspects of relationship management. On this line of the study various
suggestions towards improving Bank customer relationship by enhancing the
delivered service quality and the development of personnel involved in the delivery
system which is coined as External and Internal service quality.
The relationship models identified in the study would throw further light on
strategic decision pertaining to relationship building. An effective CRM program
designed and executed will obviously provide a win-win platform to both the service
providers and the customers. It is hoped that this study is a humble contribution
towards achieving this goal.
