2. LITERATURE REVIEW
Concept: long lerm relationship is the one that sustain organization. Why bother relationship
with customers?
They would seem obvious so, that you can say in business have when you are examining the
question of their find that there are more reasons that you think. At one time histories business
owners know their customers personally as. The society is more mobile people live in large
meta- political areas where relationship are distance large multinational organizational provides
the products and services are provided by the neigh buy hood. All this does not mean that the
customer provide relationships, Can no banger exist. Furtiell (2006).
Customer relationship is a corporate level strategy customer relationship (CRM) soft ware
packages are violable which vary whether approach to CRM. However CRM is not a technology
by itself but rather a holistic approach in organization procecing the emphasis firmly on the
customer. Customer relationship governs in organizations philosophy at all levels invading
policies and process, front of turn house customer service employee training. Marketing system
and information management CRM system are integrated end to end cross marketing sales and
customer service.
There was an immediate need to establish customer relationship management strategy to ensure
the culture would take to trans into changed do recognize was following .
The idea of customer relationship management is that helps business to use technology and
human resources to going in sight in to the behaover of customer. Customer relationship enables
a company to provide higher level of customer service and develop dipper customer relationship
by understanding customers better. This is a key for success and to both build long lasting
customer relationship. It is easier for customers to do business with one of your compitators
chances are which stay for long Kotler (1997).
Managers throughout the would start to know the fail and profitability of their organization are
directly liked in meeting or exceeding customer needs and expectations but cost of them fail to
consider how to match organizations. Potencial with customer expectation one company can
always increase customer satisfaction by lowering its price. But this result in hawer profit
“continue to senate more customer revnue and power profits continue to generate more customer
value and satisfaction but out give away the house, Kotler and Armstriong (2003)
Customer satisfaction also relates to meet expectations. Satisfaction reflects the customers
feeling about any differences between what is expected and actual experience with the purchase.
It satisfied, selling the chance of the customers in the future increase. If sofesticated with repeat
purchases, customers tend to continue today from the soles person.
Expectation of purchase
Actual experiences with received purchase repent customer purchase satisfaction purchase
retention.
The above may shows customer retention occurs when the buyer is satisfied with purchase over
time. Providing good service to customer in todays competitive market place is not enough serve
must be. Excellent service after requires technology and aoutomation M. Furtell (2006).
With focus on customers care/ service quality on organization can expect a number of benefits.
Customer loyality through satisfaction looking after present may attraction and increased
business and may lead to creation of new customers from positive work of month
communication.

In assessing the expansion of telecommunication service in the Asella branch taking in to
account customer relationship and management in corporation and the contribution of good
customer relationship for the service expansion it is concluded that there is gap between the
supply of telecommunication service and the satisfaction clients get from the service provision as
compared to the corporations annual capacity to offer there. Service all among respondents are
user of telecom service and this implies that indecent slabolizaion area peoples become the user
of telecom services from corporation like tax mobile internet and fixed phone large number of
respondents want to be fixed phone because of how cost less technical assistance and un problem
of high service change as computed with others.
The customer has the threat problem of cross-talking other technical problems such as unclear
sound delay in antennal service and unexpected disconnection of lines but after the
commencement of dieselization the corporation was began to use digital system in place of
analogue. System and as result there is an improvement in accuracy and cross talk and other
stated problems can be saved. There is higher degree of centralization by the corporation and this
causes impact inefficient utilization of all its capacities and it has also on the development
expansion of telecommunication service.
Finally there is inefficient technical capability of employees that would have an impact on full
utilization of its capacities to maximize the satisfaction clients get from service provided.
5.2. Recommendations
