them the number and this made the customers to wait for long and due
to that may o the customers got irritated and the employees of this
company didn’t show much interest in taking the suggestions and
attending the complaints of the customers. These all negatively affected
the business and the goodwill of the company.

never compromise the goodwill of the Rajinfotech for anything. Will
definitely consider the suggestions and complaints of the valuable
customers. By doing all these I will be able to keep the perception and
expectation of the guest about my company.

In the hospitality and aviation industry customer service is very
important. That is why we call a customer the King and it is also very
important to make a customer happy.
7. In the customer service Process Company takes the first step called
advertisement for more people to get attracted to their company
/organization they take celebrity help.
These advertisements through companies try to put a good impression
on the customer so that the customer should visit again and again.
Before visiting the shop the customers are very excited and they expect
something new and good.
When the customer visits the shop the company tries its level best to
try to give the customer a ‘WOW’ feeling.

IF YOU WERE IN THE PLACE OF THE SERVICE PROVIDER THAT YOU
NOTICED IN THE PROJECT, HOW DIFFERENTLY WOULD YOU RENDER
SERVICE TO YOUR CUSTOMER? WHAT CHANGE WOULD YOU TO TRY
BRINGING IN AND HOW WOULD YOU IMPLACEMENT THE SAME?
If I was in the place of the service provider I would firstly try to give more
benefits to my employees, so that they don’t feel that all the benefits are
only available to the customers and not to them. I would motivate my
employees to perform better, keep good conditions like available
exchange offer, discounts, free samples etc.. I would try to handle the,
HANDLE WITH CARE customers well.
I would try to implement changes like promoting public relation,
increase advertising methods etc.
I would also use this rare form of business which I have personally seen
in malls that is sending discount offer sms’s to their customers.
