were aware of process,terms,conditions of account portability.
Majority customers i.e 89% seems aware of alerts on mobile of credits and
and debits in your account.
SUGGESTIONS
Improvement in number of Staff at branches should be made.
Proper Training must be given to whole staff.
One Marketing team member must necessarily be posted at each
branch to give information regarding products and services to its
customers.
One Relationship Manager must be posted at each branch to deal with
Diamond Category or Premium Customers.
The staff should be adequately trained to deal with the customer on one
to one basis.
Clearly defined customer policy should be adopted by the banks.
Customers needs should be anticipated in advance so that they can be
helped out in a better way.
CONCLUSION
In todays competitive environment relationship marketing is critical to
banking corporate success. Banking is a customer oriented services industry
and Indian banks have started realizing that business depends on client
service and the satisfaction of the customer. This is compelling them to
improve customer service and build relationships with customers.
To conclude my study I would like to say that Bank is really a vast
sector. Customers are least aware of various products and services also they
fear to avail facilities like Credit Cards, ATMs' ,Mobile Banking, Phone
Banking and Internet Banking etc.
Customers still believe in Traditional Banking rather than Modern
Banking. To make people aware regarding various services and their utility
and importance for the future Bank needs to apply proper Marketing
Strategies.
