5.0. Limitations of the study
 The behavior of the customer while approaching them to fill the questionnaire was
unpredictable. The shortage of time was another constrain for the study.
 There may be error due to bias of respondents.
 Lack of customer’s cooperation was a major constraint.
 Majority of the customer were too aggressive in nature.
 The sample was restricted to 200 customers, which may restrict the scope and completion of
study.
5.1.Findings and Recommendations
5.1.1. Findings
 Quality of the service provided plays an important role in keeping the existing customers and
to bring new customers.
 In most of the organization, Mobility , Voice and Data plays an important role in the day to
day activities.
 Most of the organizations prefer broadband connection because of speed and other
compatibility of service.
 Many customers have rated the speed of data transmission, network availability is very good.
Some customers had complaints regarding the network and services. This is mostly due to
number of systems connected by single broadband connection and network issue is due to
non-availability of Telecom Tower nearby.
 The safety and security of Vodafone network is rated very well by most of its customers.
Safety of data is very important in any type of organization. Vodafone with its own PC
security suite helps organizations protect its data from theft and prevents it from harmful
attacks.
 After sales service plays essential part of customer satisfaction. More than 10% customers
have complaints regarding the after sales service. But a number of customers have reported it
excellent and good.

same category. This shows the place Vodafone has achieved in the minds of the customer in
Bangalore region.
5.1.2.Recommendations
 The customer rate quality of the service as the most relevant one and hence Vodafone services
should maintain the quality in services and should make improvements in this feature.

Bangalore”
27
 Some customers are planned to discontinue because of high billing and after sales service is
not good. Though it is a small percentage the company should focus on these to keep the
brand image in the minds of people.
 If any complaint is observed from the customers, it should be dealt quickly. This will reduce
the chance for dissatisfaction.
 Many dissatisfied customers asked for more information about other plans or change of plans.
So the dissatisfaction may be due to providing wrong plans by the sales persons. So the
company can make use of this opportunity to retain its customers by providing the right
plans.
 SME segment is a high potential market (especially in Bangalore) and the company should
take care of more promotional activities in which advertisement plays and effective role and
hence to have a competitive edge over other brands.
 Lack of awareness about the plans is high among customers. So the company must provide an
awareness program about the specialized plans for them.
5.2.Conclusion
The project titled “A STUDY THE CUSTOMER RESPONSE TOWARDS VODAFONE
ENTERPRISE PRODUCTS AMONG SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES IN
BANGALORE” was carried out among the customers/consumers in Bangalore Region. The
overall objective of the study was to find out how the customer perceives Vodafone product and
services and to find out their satisfaction towards the service against its competitors. The study
revealed the picture of customer’s perception and satisfaction which help Vodafone to encourage
more people to be the customers/consumers of Vodafone.

Though it is a small percentage the company should focus on these to keep the brand image in the minds of people.  If any complaint is observed from the customers, it should be dealt quickly. This will reduce the chance for dissatisfaction.  Many dissatisfied customers asked for more information about other plans or change of plans. So the dissatisfaction may be due to providing wrong plans by the sales persons. So the company can make use of this opportunity to retain its customers by providing the right plans.  SME segment is a high potential market (especially in Bangalore) and the company should take care of more promotional activities in which advertisement plays and effective role and hence to have a competitive edge over other brands.  Lack of awareness about the plans is high among customers. So the company must provide an awareness program about the specialized plans for them. 5.2.Conclusion The project titled “A STUDY THE CUSTOMER RESPONSE TOWARDS VODAFONE ENTERPRISE PRODUCTS AMONG SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES IN BANGALORE” was carried out among the customers/consumers in Bangalore Region.
