• ING wishes to carry out a benchmarking exercise viz. its major competition, on certain key customer service delivery parameters.
• This exercise specifically aims at evaluating where ING stands with respect to competition on the turnaround times relating to the:
– Opening of savings and current accounts– Disbursement of business and car loans– Handling of customer complaints
• In this context, ING has requested Hansa Research to submit a proposal for research
• This document outlines Hansa Research’s approach to the proposed benchmarking exercise.
Research Background
3
• The primary goal of this research is to measure turnaround times with respect to the following :
– Opening of savings and current accounts– Disbursement of business and car loans– Handling of customer complaints
• However, in addition to this, a customer survey such as this should also do the following for each of these services:
– Identify the process that constitute a customer’s experience – Compare the satisfaction level of ING’s customers with that of competition’s
– Unearth the weaker areas in the product / service offering that leads to customer dissatisfaction and strengths that reinforce satisfaction and loyalty
– Hence, provide strategic input to identify focus areas
• In order to fulfill above objectives, HRG proposes to use ACT - its proprietary ‘Customer Satisfaction model’

Information Areas

• Demographics• Banks dealt with• Types of services availed from the various banks deal with
– Opening of current a/c– Disbursement of business loan – Opening of savings a/c– Disbursement of car loan– Lodging of customer complaints
• If deals with more than one bank– Main bank; reasons for being the main bank (do most of the transactions from this bank, keep most of money in this
bank, most of the products taken from this bank etc…)Rest of the information areas would then be asked only for the services availed from the main bank– Overall satisfaction with the bank; Reasons– For each financial service availed from the bank
• Overall performance rating; Reasons• Total turnaround time• Expected turn around time• Rating on the speed of delivery• Likelihood to recommend; Reasons• Willingness to continue in future; Reasons• Ratings on various service dimensions
– Each service would be broken down in to key service dimensions across the various stages of customer relationship. These dimensions would be further broken down in to parameters. Ratings on criticality of and satisfaction on each of these dimensions and parameters would then be taken. Identifying these service dimensions and parameters would be done in consultation with the Client. An e.g. of this exercise is given on the next pages (7 and 8)

Research Methodology
• Target Group– As per the Client’s brief, there are two broad target groups of interest
– Small business enterprises who have-– Availed of the services of interest, namely, current account, business loans or customer
complaints in the last six months (6 months is taken to ensure the recency of the experience)
– An annual revenue between 15 lakhs to 4 crores
– Individuals who have– Availed of the services of interest, namely, savings account, car loans or customer
complaints in the last six months (6 months is taken to ensure the recency of the experience)
10
Research Methodology (cont’d…)
• Research Design– Face to face Interviews would be conducted using semi structured questionnaires
– There may be cases where a customer has availed all the 3 relevant services in the last 6 months. Questioning them in detail on all the three, however, would burden them beyond acceptable levels. In such cases, we suggest taking responses on the overall satisfaction and turn around time for all the 3 services and detailed questioning on only 2 out of the 3 services. This design would ensure that our prime question of the turnaround time is answered for all the services experienced by the respondents without making the interview too long.
– The order of service exposure would of course be rotated across respondents, so as to minimize any order bias
11
• Sampling – Client sample: ING would provide the database of the customers who have availed the
services of interest in the last six months• A random sampling method would be employed in order to select respondents from the Client
database. • A telephonic screener questionnaire would be done to assess the eligibility of the selected
respondent. If eligible, a Hansa interviewer would fix time and location as per respondent’s convenience for the detailed interview.
– Competition sample• A list of branches of competition banks will be obtained through the internet for each research
center . • The total sample size would be spread across all the branches per center so that the geographical
spread of the city would be maintained.
Hansa will define the competition with the help of the Client. However, as already discussed, the Client has to ensure that the competition is adequately present in the cities proposed for this research
Research Methodology (cont’d…)
12
• Research Centers– As per the client’s suggestion, this research is to be undertaken in the North, South and
West zones. However, in keeping with their business strategy, the Client would like this research to focus more on the North zone .
• The centers chosen within each of these zones need to ensure the representation of the different tiers of towns, geographical spread and the Client’s presence. Keeping these factors in mind, Hansa proposes the following centers

Performance Measurement - HANSA’s Approach
17
Let the customer specify how ‘Critical’ (not just important) is a dimension to him in keeping a relationship going – in the context of the service
CRITICALITY MEASUREMENT :This is an extremely
important dimension and if some other company delivers
beyond my expectation on this dimension, I will definitely switch to the
product of that company
This is a very important dimension
and if some other company delivers
beyond my expectation on this
dimension, I will probably switch to the product of that
company
This is an important dimension, but even if some other company delivers beyond my expectation on this
dimension, I may not switch to the product
of that company
This is not so important dimension, and even if some other company delivers beyond my expectation on this
dimension, I will definitely not switch to
the product of that company
