1. Introduction:
Service marketing is a branch of marketing that involves distribution of fast moving
consumer goods and durable goods. This field refers to both businesses to consumer
as well as business to business services. Service Marketing is based on relationship
and value. Service Marketing is used to market a service or a product. The buyer
cannot return the service which is a difference between marketing services and
goods.
In today’s competitive business environment, mobile operators have to compete in
the industry by facing the problems and overcome it, taking initiative considering
the prospects of the industry, and finally taking marketing strategy for the
customers and overall the industry. Telecommunication is communication at a
distance by technological means, particularly through electrical signals or
electromagnetic waves. Due to the many different technologies involved, the word
is often used in a plural form, as telecommunications. Marketing is the foundation
of business operations for businesses and nonprofit organizations. Understanding
the various marketing services and their functions helps the for profit or nonprofit
organization reach their goals. Telecommunication companies market their
products and services to consumers, business customers and other service
providers. The aim of telecommunication marketing is to generate the highest level
of revenue from your network and strengthen customer loyalty.

satisfying-

6. Report on:
4.1 Dimension 1 – Reliability
The reliability Service Quality Dimension refers to
how the company are performing and completing
their promised service, quality and accuracy
within the given set requirements between the
company and the customer. Reliability is just as important as a goof first hand
impression, because every customer want to know if their supplier is reliable and
fulfill the set requirements with satisfaction.
Reliability means a consistency in performance and dependability. It runs the gamut
from being accurate in billing to performing the service at the specified time.
Responsiveness is the willingness and readiness of you and your employees to
provide the service. It means returning phone calls quickly and providing prompt
service such as setting up appointments right away. Responsiveness is also the
attitude your customers perceive from you and your employees.
How to improve reliable service quality of Teletalk Bangladesh Ltd:
If their customers graded them on the quality of their service, would they get an A
plus?
When competing services are similar, they win and lose customers based on the
quality of the service. For instance, there may not be much difference in the call rate
and customer service. Only their customers can judge the quality of your service.
That’s because service quality has to conform to a customer's specifications and
expectations.
Step # 1
Teletalk company owners might be more concerned with the technological excellence
of the components of the alarm system. Their customers might be more interested in
the waiting time for an install or the time and patience they give to them in
explaining how to use their new system.

7. Report on:
Step # 2
Teletalk companies provide a service and must determine what benefits customers
expect to receive and then develop the services to meet those expectations. Only by
meeting their customers' expectations on a consistent basis, can your company
deliver quality service.
Step # 3
To improve the quality of their service, they must first understand how their
customers and potential customers judge service quality. Consumers make quality
judgments on how Teletalk perform the service. Once you know and understand how
your customer evaluates your services, they can take steps to improve. Following are
some guidelines customers use to judge service quality.
Step # 4
Access is your approachability and ease of contact. It means that waiting time for
service is not extensive and convenient hours of operation.
Step # 5
Courtesy is the politeness, respect, consideration and friendliness of your company
and its employees. That means keeping your uniforms clean and neat, no tracking
mud on a customer’s floor, and a friendly, polite greeting.
Step # 6
Communication is keeping customers informed (in language they can understand)
and listening to them. It means explaining the service and the cost and then assuring
your customer that the problem will be handled.

them with a good, quality and fast service. This is also a very important dimension,
because every customer feels more valued if they get the best possible quality in the
service.
How to improve service responsiveness of Teletalk Bangladesh Ltd:
Step # 1
Update traditional service channels. New telephony systems, streamlined automated
response systems, or direct extension options can route calls to appropriate
representatives faster. Adding new service channels like email, live chat, and instant
messaging to address customer service issues more quickly can also improve
customer service responsiveness.
Step # 2
Develop their customer service staff. Recruit staff that understand the importance of
customer service and have the aptitude and desire to provide your customers with
effective resolutions on the first contact whenever possible. Reinforce these positive
attributes with ongoing opportunities for training and development. Be sure that all
training efforts are directed toward responding to your customers' needs by being
sensitive and considerate to their individual circumstances.
Step # 3
Ensure that their customer service department understands that as the initial (and
sometimes only) point of contact between their business and their customer, it is
tasked with being aware of any shifts in the general needs of their customer. Your
customer service supervisors and managerial staff should also be aware that
information gained directly from your customers has a premium value when
developing strategies for addressing similar needs across your customer base.
Step # 4
Request feedback from the customer. They can use phone surveys, email
questionnaires, or simply have your representatives close the interaction by inquiring
if there is anything that could have been done to improve the customer service
experience. Not only will they obtain valuable information on how to improve your

service levels and the responsiveness to their customers service needs, but you will

4.3 Dimension 3 – Assurance
The assurance Service Quality Dimension refers to
the company's employees. Are the employees
skilled workers which are able to gain the trust
and confidence of the customers? If the customers
are not comfortable with the employees, there are a rather large chance that the
customers will not return to do further business with the company.
How to improve assurance service quality of Teletalk Bangladesh Ltd:
The simplest definition of quality assurance (QA) is “doing the right things right”. QA
has traditionally been divided into three components: structure, process and
outcome.
A Quality Assurance program consists of:

Collection of data at the time of the procedure and production of the
procedure report,

Collation of the data,

Analysis of the data at a QA Procedure Review meeting, and

Taking appropriate action following the Procedure review meeting.
“Core Quality Indicators” is the term used to describe those data which need to be
collected for any given procedure in order to carry out QA. The Core Quality
Indicators are:
(1) Demographic information;
(2) Procedure indication;
(3) Sedation;
(4) Complications;
6

failure. QA programs evolve over time: start small, start simple, but above all, start
4.4 Dimension 4 – Empathy

how the company cares and gives individualized
attention to their customers, to make the customers
feeling extra valued and special. The fifth dimension
are actually combining the second, third and fourth dimension to a higher level, even
though the really cannot be compared as individuals. If the customers feel they get
individualized and quality attention there is a very big chance that they will return to
the company and do business there again.

Access
Ease of contact. Is it easy for the customer to get through on the phone? Is it easy for
the customer to meet with you on his schedule?

Knowing the customers and their needs. Do they remember the customer from one
time until the next? Do you make an effort to find out the customers’ stories? Do you
make recommendations custom tailored to the customer’s needs?

improving service quality using skills such as empathy to develop deeper
relationships to retain customers and increase profitability.

appearance of the physical surroundings and facilities,
equipment, personnel and the way of communication.
