Take the case of a multiple service provider like ICICI bank and explain various service levels.
2. The degree to which a provided activity promotes customer
satisfaction.
The totality of features and characteristics of a product or service that
bears its ability to satisfy stated or implied needs.
The quality of customer service is the key differentiator between good,
bad and indifferent companies. Good quality customer service keeps
customers coming back; bad customer service drives customers away,
taking their friends, family and workmates with them.
3. Attracting new customers costs more than retaining existing customers
Customer service costs real money
Understand your customers’ needs and meet them
Good process and product design is important
Customer service must be consistent
Employees are customers too
Open all communications channels
Every customer contact is a chance to shine
People expect good customer service everywhere
4. Marketing mix is a combination of interrelated independent set of
marketing decisions, which help a marketing manager to break down
the decision making into number of identifiable and actionable set of
activities.
The 4P’s(product, price, place, promotion) are found to be limited in
their application in service marketing.
5. Customers test the quality of service of firm at every encounter-’moment of truth’.
Management of service of quality is a growing concern for service marketer.
Quality management involves deciding on quality standards and implementing a
method of assurance on performance level of the staff and the facilities.
Quality has emerged as a major competitive element in service company strategies.
Good quality of service provides a positive image for their organization.
The service quality management process involves matching evolving customer
expectations.
6. Companies need to find ways of creating differential
advantage by having better service levels than their
competitors.
Increased level of consumerism and greater media attention
on quality have meant that companies have to be more
responsive to quality issues.
There has been a growing sophistication of consumer
markets, with the non-price factors of image, product
positioning and service delivery processes becoming more
important.
8. Product Attributed Approach
In this approach, customers try to judge the
product’s conformance to standardized requirements
which have been set by reference to what company
managers think the failure is.
This approach focuses on: performance, features,
reliability, conformance, durability, serviceability,
aesthetics, perceived quality.
9. This approach also termed as user-based approach.
This approach starts from the premise that quality ‘lies in the
eyes of the beholder’.
It recognises the holistic process of service delivery has to be
controlled by taking into consideration, the expectations and
attitudes of service clients.
10. Reliability-ability to provide what was promised dependably and accurately.
Tangibility-physical facilities and equipment and the appearance of the personnel.
Credibility-honesty and trustworthiness.
Responsiveness-willingness to help customers and provide prompt service.
Communication-keeping customers informed in a language that they can understand
Security-physical, financial and confidentially for the service delivery.

12. India's second largest bank is the ICICI Bank offering a wide range of financial
services to its customers through its delivery channels.
To attain this sustainable competitive advantage, service industries face a unique
challenge of meeting the needs of the customers regularly and continuously.
Though mechanized form of activity has its own impact on service delivery
performance, many service industries still remain to be manual because there exits
no equivalent substitute for personal interaction between the employees of service
industry and customers.
The optimum mix of technology and people in the service delivery process decides
the competitive advantage of an organization.
Customer satisfaction is taken as a yardstick for measuring the quality of service and
providing excellent customer service decides the effectiveness of service delivery
process.
Only through excellent customer service, an organization can consistently exceed
customer expectations.
13. In order to achieve customer satisfaction, every service organization must understand and
improve service delivery process and implement valid and reliable service performance
measures to measure the same.
To assess the degree of customer satisfaction, a SERVQUAL instrument is administered to
study the quality of service and the gaps were identified in the services offered by ICICI Bank,
in all five dimensions of service quality, the overall weighted SERVQUAL score being −1.92.
The ICICI Bank Ltd. has to take steps to close the gaps by establishing a service quality
information system.
