Customer Satisfaction Sucks !!!

Yup,it took me sometime to digest and understand this as i was reading “FLIP” by PeterSheahan.But then looking by my own experiences and by what the book said,i too agreed with it.

Ever since we ramped up our sales of Smiley Privilege Card,i used to think customer satisfaction as a prime index for our growth ahead but little sooner did i realize that customer satisfaction is merely an index of what we condition the customer to expect,not what he or she really wants and the big question here is what does the customer really wants ? And biggest question of all is does the customer know what he wants ?

Our product can only outclass competition when we can predict what the customer wants before he even thinks. i know this sounds weird but if you take a close look at ourselves as a customer i am sure sometimes even we don’t know what we expect from a particular product.But then if the product itself has set itself a necessity in our minds,then that i say is the selling point of any product.

We can never measure the demands of a customer and design a product. Look at the best in the business for e.g Apple never had a survey with people asking if they would like to own a portable music player with radio or some cool interface. They just just went on to create something out of the box.They went out there and created a necessity among their customers and that’s how it all happened.

So the bottom line here is that you can never sell something if you focus on customer satisfaction because that would just make you a puppet in the hands of your customer and you truly can’t commit to it.Design your product with a niche that no one else can and in way where your product creates the necessity among customers.

Time for another Kranti : for a better Nation we deserve

20120302-231747.jpg

I was not much bothered about our system or the beaurecracy around but then the recent events and the way things are being handled compells me to give some of my time in observing and also wondering the basic need and idea behind having a democracy or a government.

I knew there was always flaws in the system and that all time favorite movie dialogue that no nation is perfect and has to be made one, and that makes me thinking that is there a nation thats in so much of mess as we are ?

Now one would ask how bad can it get, right ? Trust me,its in very bad state and whos responsible ? No one knows… I am ot good with numbers but 20,000 crores is supposedly the money piled up on Scams !!!! Now yes,corruption has been a problem. Now that is waste of money through illegal ways right, what oabout waste of money through legal ways ?

I was quite stunt to hear that the Aadhar program has been stalled and some government department found it not viable economically to have such a thing, and guess when they made this discovery ?? This when some 600 crores had already been spent to set this thing up !

Ok, so just another government program gone bad ! Now look at the status of 2G verdict ! Two companies shut down their operations after their licenses where cancelled. Its beenmore tha a month now and government,TRAI were closing eyes to the money these companies had infused to buy those liceses and to set up the infra !

So the liceses were cancelled,so what happens to the fee they paid .. What happens to the investment they have made ! No answers ! And finallybtheybwoke up with their balls freezing when Russia wrote an official letter saying they will sue India for non protection of their investements in bilateral treaty ( russian govt.nholds stake in sistema of MTS) and now they are going to the court asking to re think on the verdict !

Really pathetic and funny, what about the 1200 crore that S-Tel had invested, their CEO had wrote a letter to PM to pay back the money ! And i think they should get it !

I started writing this blog sitting in metro at Kranti marg and hence the title had to be the same.
The system could have flaws,but if the system itself is a flaw !!! Then God save this country !

Fart Your Way Out ! LOL !

fartNo Offense fellas ! i ain’t a fart-a-hollic though i have some occasional moments of peace ! LOL ! Anyway when i asked some of my friends about farting i had some funny answers:

@wickednik fart??? is smellY. quite effective if u hav 2 avoid sum pple. has strange sounds 2 it. if u fart in public u’ll b rmbrd.

@binauralchimera andrine???? wot??? LOL…k am a li’ll lost on thi #fart …r u serious on blogin bout da same! hahah

One thing i found common in both is that we never love to admit the very details behind it. Anyway i am not going to discuss the positives and negatives of farting in real sense or would love to form a club of people who enjoy to fart,though they say you could create energy of an atom bomb if you fart continuously for like 6 years and 9 months.Anyone up for the act to change our power problems ? LOL.

_FartPropellantAnyway To ‘Fart your way’ out meant to simply realize that the solutions of all your problems lie within you,one simply have to fart it out ! Now you would be wondering why i used the word Fart Here ! To Fart is simply to ooze out that very part which is not required.LOL…i can’t believe i made that up now ! Anyway we always rank and rave about how Life is so mysterious and all those crap.but what we seldom realize is that all the power to unlock your Life lies within ourselves,we simply have to Fart it Out !(i mean that fellas).

Ok,Here are some directions you could use to make the ‘Farting’ Process easier. Everyone has dreams and aspirations about their lives,but they eventually die off due to lack of our commitment towards them. Thats’s where we need to begin,get committed to yourself and to your dreams(better than getting committed to your girlfriend u c … LOL). If we are strongly committed to our dreams we surely can fight through the troubled times. For making this commitment strong you need to Fart it out..Real Hard ! Trust Me !

3321486859_9c7af1436dSome pointers to that:

1.Shout-it-Out: shout out your dreams and aspirations to the world,people might think you’re crazy but trust me if you need to excel in this world,craziness comes lot handy !

2.Write-it-Down:you also need to write down your dreams with concrete specifications on when,where and how ! Write down your tasks involved to get there ! and stick these on you walls where you could see it everyday !

Very two Simple Steps ! so you Fart now ? Lol…These two steps will ensure that your sub-conscious mind gets the message clear.These might appear very silly,but try a very simple task and you will understand.Writing down the tasks involved to reach your dream is also important since even a small tasks accomplished will make the rest ones look so near.

Find your Dreams and simply Follow them ! God Bless !
