Suggestions
On completion of the project work Customer perception towards Airtelbroadband service among Small and medium scale industries (SME)customers of Ahmedabad, I would like to give my suggestions which thecompany can make use of:-
The customer rate quality of the service as the most relevant one andhence Airtel Broadband services should maintain the quality in services
and should make improvements in this feature. Some customers are planned to discontinue because of high billing and
after sales service is not good. Though it is a small percentage thecompany should focus on these to keep the brand image in the minds ofpeople.
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 providingwrong plans by the sales persons. So the company can make use of thisopportunity to retain its customers by providing the right plans.

Suggestions
SME segment is a high potential market (especially in Ahmedabad) and thecompany should take care of more promotional activities in which advertisementplays 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 companymust provide an awareness program about the specialized plans for them.
The detailed billing is provided as a value added service in Airtel broadband. It isfree of cost in its competitors like BSNL. So the company could provide the serviceas free of cost. It will help customers clear their doubts about billing and hence toimprove their satisfaction level.
