Introduction:
ustomer satis*action is a *undamental marketing construct in the last three decades. %n the past, it /as
unpopular and unaccepted concept because companies thought it /as more important to gain ne/
customers than retain the existing ones. 8o/e+er, in this present decade, companies ha+e gained better
understanding o* the importance o* customer satis*action 6especially ser+ice producing companies7 and
adopted it as a high priority operational goal. ustomer satis*action, a term *reuently used in marketing, is
a measure o* ho/ products and ser+ices supplied by a company meet or surpass customer expectation.
ustomer satis*action is de*ined as Othe number o* customers, or percentage o* total customers, /hose
reported experience /ith a *irm, its products, or its ser+ices 6ratings7 exceeds speci*ied satis*action goals.
5eople in Bangladesh are becoming busy day by day and more pro*essional than pre+ious. $hey need to
share more in*ormation to each other because demography has changed due to the era o* globali3ation.
Mobile phone has introduced a tremendous change in the communication sector in our country. %t has
changed the communication structure also. 5eople in +arious occupations and income le+els are using
mobile phone intensi+ely *or their occupational purpose and personal purpose as /ell.
Bac?ground of the pro"lem:
$here are six mobile phone operators are running business in Bangladesh. Among them airtel is the late
entrant in the market. $he other telecom companies are continuing operations *or more than 1 decade
except $eletalk. %* /e look back at that time, the mobile phone ser+ices /ere limited to *e/ numbers o*
customers due to high connection price and call charges. Moreo+er, the net/ork /as also restricted to
some di+isional cities and in *e/ ma'or cities in the country. As the technology de+eloped and the tari**s
reduced by the companies people /ere getting more engaged /ith this portable telecommunication
ser+ices. ?or this reason, the early entrants in the market acuired enormous time *or the net/ork
expansion. As a result, their subscriber base reached to more solid stage. A*ter entering o* Airtel in the
market, there /as a remarkable change seen in telecommunication industry. $he competition has been

more intensi*ied among the mobile phone companies. Airtel is also struggling /ith the other competitors
by o**ering ne/ and uniue ser+ices to keep up the market share.
Mean/hile, Airtel is +astly /ell accepted among young generation *or its youth oriented campaign and
promotions. ;specially the lo/er tari**s and highest ?n? *acilities are appealing all kinds o* people to use
Airtel prepaid connection. urrently, Airtel o**ers almost all types o* li+es enriching +alue added ser+ices
/ith the prepaid connection. 8o/e+er, *rom my recent obser+ation at my internship program, % *ound that
the airtel customers are experiencing poor ser+ice uality due to the limited net/ork co+erage. %t is true
that, Airtel has not got enough time *or the net/ork expansion that the other companies obtained. $here are
some other problems pre+ailing /ith the prepaid connection /hich make the customer *eel unpleased.
8ence, to sur+i+e in this competiti+e en+ironment, it might be +ery di**icult to keep the existing customers
satis*ied and to grab more market share. %t is there*ore imperati+e *or Airtel to analy3e the customer s‟
opinion in this regard to its ser+ices and take care o* the dissatis*action. $his study is aimed at re+ie/ing
the pre+ailing situation to assist Airtel so that it can take appropriate measures *or its impro+ement i*
needed.

Customer +atisfactionD a theoretical re$ie0:
$he customers are in the mainstream o* sales oriented ser+ices. $he success o* such companies largely
depends on the satis*action o* the customers. $he buyers are happy i* the product and:or the ser+ices meet
their expectations. %* their reuirements do not meet the expectations the buyers become discontented, they
are delighted /hen the per*ormance *ul*ils their reuirements.
ustomers past buying experiences, the opinion o* *riends, associates, marketer, competitor in*ormation‟
and promises lead to the expectations. Marketer must be care*ul to set the right le+el o* expectations. %*
they set expectations too lo/, they may satis*y those /ho buy but *ail to attract enough buyers. %n contrast,
i* they raise expectations too high, buyers are likely to be disappointed. &issatis*action can arise either
*rom a decrease in product and ser+ice uality or *rom an increase in customer expectations. %n either case,
it presents an opportunity *or companies that can deli+er superior customer +alue and satis*action. $oday
most success*ul companies ha+e taken the strategy o* raising expectations and deli+ering per*ormance to
match. Such companies track their customers expectations, percei+ed company per*ormance, and‟
customer satis*action. 8ighly satis*ied customers produce se+eral bene*its *or the company. Satis*ied
customers remain connected *or a longer period and talk *a+orably to others about the company and its products and ser+ices
.The definition of customer satisfaction :
As the key dri+er o* customer loyalty, many researchers increased emphasis on customer satis*action. 8igh
le+el o* customer satis*action may lead to more loyal customers /hich means can bring more pro*it *or
enterprise. $here are many kinds o* de*inition o* customer satis*action, but no precise de*inition already
been de+elopment. According to the researchers, the /orking o* customer mind is like a black box. $hat is
an obser+er can only see /hat goes in and /hat comes out but not /hat happened inside. Satis*action may
result *rom a +ery simple or a complex process in+ol+ing extensi+e cogniti+e, a**ecti+e and other
undisco+ered psychological and physiological dynamics. omparing the de*initions o* satis*action, it can
be *ound that satis*action is stated to be a relati+e concept al/ays 'udged in relation to a standard. $hat
means i* /e de*ine customer satis*action on di**erent angles, /e can get di**erent de*inition. sually, many
researchers conceptuali3e customer satis*action as a personal *eeling that customers compare percei+ed
uality per*ormance /ith expectations. $his kind o* conception is represented by

AS% 6American ustomer Satis*action %ndex7, SSB and ;S% de*ine customer satis*action as o+erall
satis*action. So here my theoretical *rame/ork treats customer satis*action as o+erall satis*action.
Customer satisfaction factors of prepaid customers of Airtel:
%n mobile telecommunication industry, there are direct and indirect *actors that in*luence customer
satis*action. 8ere % *ocus on the most important *actors that in*luence customer satis*action *or prepaid
customers o* Airtel /hich relates basically /ith a*ter sales ser+ices.
Cost $he cost o* the prepaid connection is one o* ma'or *actor *or the customers. Most o* the people in
Bangladesh are lo/ income le+el. $here*ore, to attain more customers Airtel should not charge high price
*or the ne/ connection so that it can be a**ordable to the lo/ income people. Moreo+er, tari** o* the
prepaid packages must be reasonable to keep satis*ied its customers.
A$aila"ility A+ailability o* the product at the right time leads the customers to a better experience.
ustomers al/ays /ant the product to be a+ailed near at home. $hey do not /ish to go *ar to ha+e product
and other related ser+ices. 8o/e+er, the prepaid customers reuire top-up their credit more *reuently. So,
to ensure *reuent purchase and to build up long term relationship /ith the customers the top-up stores
should be con+eniently located to the prepaid users.
Airtime Air time is the core o**ering o* Airtel, So, uality o* communication, net/ork a+ailability, etc, are
the most important customer satis*action *actors. uality o* airtime depends on the ratio o* subscribers and
transmission base station. %* the numbers o* subscribers are increased /ithout de+eloping the net/ork,
uality o* airtime goes do/n.
(alue Added +er$ice 4(A+/ alue added ser+ice has become essential *actor in telecom business. $he
customers not only /ish to get +oice communication but also desire more use o* it. $he telecom companies

Customer +upport: Helpline Airtel pro+ides the state o* the art !2 hours customer supports through
customer hotline *or its customers in Bangladesh. Airtel subscriber needs to dial "@ to reach helpline. $he
hotline number has a language option *or ;nglish, Bangla. %t is a computer aided in*ormation base to a**ord
immediate access to the in*ormation about the subscribers, but the operations are done manually. A*ter
dialing "@, subscribers are *irst /elcomed by an automated and standardi3ed process. $hen he:she needs

Type of the #esearch: 0esearch design is basically classi*ied as exploratory or descripti+e research. $he
main ob'ecti+e o* exploratory research is to explore or search through a problem or situation to pro+ide
insights and understanding. %n general, exploratory research is meaning*ul in any situation /here the
researcher does not ha+e enough understanding to proceed /ith the research pro'ect. $he research process
that is adopted is *lexible and unstructured. %t rarely in+ol+es structured uestionnaires. $he primary data
are ualitati+e in nature and are analy3ed accordingly. ?or example, exploratory research may consist o*
personal inter+ie/s /ith industry experts.
on+ersely, the descripti+e research assumes that the researcher has much prior kno/ledge about the
problem situation. $he ma'or ob'ecti+e o* descripti+e research is to describe something, usually market
characteristics or *unctions. %n general, descripti+e research is marked by a clear statement o* the problem,
speci*ic hypotheses, and detailed in*ormation needs.
As a result, descripti+e research is preplanned and structured. %t is based on large, representati+e samples,
and the data obtained are sub'ected to uantitati+e analysis. As one o* my responsibilities /as to make
outbound call to capture the customer s *eedback regarding Airtel s ser+ices, % learnt a lot o* things *rom‟ ‟

Airtel is a telecom ser+ice pro+iding company /here customer satis*action is both goal and marketing tool.

Airtel to satis*y and retain its existing customers. As the mobile connection price, call charge, e+en the
price o* the handset ha+e been reduced due to technological ad+ancement people o* all income le+el arestarted using cell phone. Fo/adays, most o* the students and the lo/ income people are deeply relying on

recommendations, Airtel can decrease the dissatis*actions o* the customers and thus earn a sustainable,
distinct competiti+e ad+antage to achie+e more market share.
4QAirtel must upgrade the net/ork co+erage as early as possible. Since, the net/ork up gradation has not
been *inished yet Airtel should o**er Miscall Alert ser+ice *or *ree. ustomers understand that net/ork
impro+ement cannot be done o+ernight. But i* miscall alert ser+ice is o**ered at *ree o* cost the existing
customers may compromise /ith the current situation and ne/ customers may also /ish to 'oin Airtel.
$hus, dissatis*action may reduce regarding net/ork problem.
4QAirtel should not send unnecessary SMS to the subscribers. %t makes the customers annoyed /hen a SMS
is recei+ed during /orking hours. SMS can be sent on /eekend, holidays, or in o**-peak hour so that it
does not make the customers dissatis*ied.
