brightest and most important ideas and shows how success will be achieved.

improve existing products.

efforts you have planned for your company and products, so that you can keep up

Since, if an organization does not have the competent personnel, then it cannot
perform the functions of management like planning, organizing and control functions
properly.

Effective Use of Technology and Other Resources


What is staffing and technology’s connection? Well, it is the human factor that is
instrumental in the effective utilization of the latest technology, capital, material, etc.
the management can ensure the right kinds of personnel by performing the staffing
function.

Optimum Utilization of Human Resources

recruitment, selection, training, and development of employees. To get the optimum
output, the staffing function should be performed in an efficient manner.

Development of Human Capital

advancement. This will meet the requirements of the company in the future.

function effectively and efficiently, the management is able to describe the
significance and importance which it attaches to the personnel working in the
enterprise.

all types of organization. It is concerned with categories of personnel from top to
bottom of the organization.

Blue collar workers (i.e., those working on the machines and engaged in loading,
unloading etc.) and white collar workers (i.e., clerical employees).
Managerial and Non Managerial personal.
Professionals (eg.- Chartered Accountant, Company Secretary)
Responsibility of Manager

continuously engaged in performing the staffing function. They are actively
associated with the recruitment, selection, training, and appraisal of his
subordinates. Therefore the activities are performed by the chief executive,
departmental managers and foremen in relation to their subordinates.

Human Skills
Staffing function is mainly concerned with different types of training and development
of human resource and therefore the managers should use human relation skill in
providing guidance and training to the subordinates. If the staffing function is
performed properly, then the human relations in the organization will be cordial and
mutually performed in an organized manner.

Continuous Function
Staffing function is to be performed continuously which is equally important for a new
and well-established organization. Since in a newly established organization, there
has to be recruitment, selection, and training of personnel. As we compare that, the
organization which is already a running organization, then at that place every
manager is engaged in various staffing activities.
Therefore, he is responsible for managing all the workers in order to get work done
for the accomplishment of the overall objectives of an organization.

SWOT analysis (or SWOT matrix) is a strategic planning and strategic


management technique used to help a person or organization identify Strengths,
Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats related to business competition or project
planning. It is sometimes called situational assessment or situational analysis.
This technique is designed for use in the preliminary stages of decision-
making processes and can be used as a tool for evaluation of the strategic position
of organizations of many kinds (for-profit enterprises, local and national
governments, NGOs, etc.).
It is intended to identify the internal and external factors that are favorable and
unfavorable to achieving the objectives of the venture or project. Users of a SWOT
analysis often ask and answer questions to generate meaningful information for each
category to make the tool useful and identify their competitive advantage. SWOT has
been described as a tried-and-true tool of strategic analysis.
Now that we know the basics for the SWOT analysis, we should follow the 4
steps to create a successful and specifically applicable SWOT analysis. Of course, it
is especially important to develop concrete measures in the 4th step.

Step 1: Analyze trends, industry, customers & competitors


No matter if the SWOT is done for a start-up, corporate strategy or just a project. It is
important to inform yourself exactly in which environment you are acting. Especially
trends in the industry, technologies and other topics should be analyzed.
It is also advisable to talk specifically with customers, to interview suppliers or to
analyze the competition in detail, so that you get a comprehensive picture.

Important subtopics are:


 Major trends – demographic change, consumption, economic development,
technological developments, etc.
 Competitors – distribution of companies in the market, relative
strength/position in the market, competing products, etc.
 Customers/consumers – customer expectations, customer needs, etc.
 Market – development of the market, market-specific factors, laws,
regulations, etc.

Step 2: Identify strengths & weaknesses


With the gained knowledge you should fill in a SWOT template (download SWOT
template). You should pay attention to the right number of points. Too few is bad,
because you don’t get a feeling and too detailed can quickly become too complex or
complicated.
To simplify it, you should also think about core questions. These should ask the most
important topics and also identify the strengths/weaknesses there. Since every
business, every SWOT and every industry is different, the core competencies should
also be different.

Typical core competencies for questioning in a SWOT analysis:


 Brand / Image
 Corporate Governance
 Team & Employees
 Experience / Management experience
 Qualifications
 Products / Services
 Design
 Quality
 Service
 Processes & Organization
 Location
 Logistics
 Capital / Financing
 KPIs (e.g. margins)

Example of a key question to be formulated:


Logistics – Can we deliver cost-effectively, quickly and reliably?
Based on this question, strengths or weaknesses can then be determined in
comparison to the competition. These sub-areas thus help to quickly provide an
overview and to work through the most important sub-areas.

Step 3: Derive opportunities and risks


In the external analysis, you should also prioritize specifically. Of course, there are
hundreds of factors that can cause success or failure, but you should focus on the
10-15 most important aspects and write them down.
The 3-4 most important opportunities and the 3-4 most important risks can also be
assigned to your own strengths and weaknesses. This also helps to cushion
potential risks but also to use possible opportunities.

Step 4: Develop measures


After listing the most important weaknesses, strengths, opportunities and risks, one
should get a relatively good picture of which internal and external factors affect the
project or company. This should possibly be recorded in a so-called executive
summary – a short summary of the most important opportunities, risks and how one
wants to use one’s own strengths or compensate for one’s own weaknesses.
Concrete measures should then be derived from the opportunities and risks, which
should also be incorporated into the strategy and reflected accordingly in the budget.

Step 5: Adapt and update


A SWOT analysis is always only a snapshot and must be constantly adapted.
Especially in fast changing industries it is necessary to update the analysis more
often.
Especially in the case of opportunities and risks, it is also advisable to operate an
active risk management and to track changes more closely.

PURCHASING POWER AND CONSUMENT SATISFACTION

Repurchase intention is an interest in buying based on the buying experience that


has been done in the past. High repurchase intention reflects a high level of
satisfaction from consumers when deciding to adopt a product. The decision to adopt
or reject a product arises after a consumer tries a product and then he likes or
dislikes the product. The high interest in repurchasing will positively impact the
success of the product in the market (Sartika, 2017).

The Effect of Product on Consumer Trust and Satisfaction


The product is an element of the marketing mix. Products sold to consumers must be
of high quality to satisfy and trust the seller. For example, online purchases. Buyers
cannot see and feel the products being sold firsthand, and they only see pictures and
brief descriptions of these products. It is different with offline purchasing. Consumers
can compare on goods with another. For online purchasing, Consumers can
compare products sold among options when making online purchases, and they can
even compare sellers from ratings and comments on ecommerce.

The Effect of Price on Consumer Trust and Satisfaction.


Price is an important component in attracting consumer interest. Consumers tend to
look for cheap product prices. The price of a product is often used to differentiate
product quality. Products that have better quality tend to have a higher price.
Premium brands promise high-quality products and provide a positive image for their
users. Consumers who get benefits according to the price to be paid will be satisfied
with the product (Su and Huang, 2011).

The Effect of Promotion on Consumer Trust and Satisfaction.


Promotion is an important marketing tool for stimulating purchases quickly and
widely over some time (Kotler, 1999). Sales promotion can increase brand
preference (DelVecchio et al., 2006). Consumers can recognize a product from the
promotion carried out by the company. Promotions carried out by companies are
usually persuasive invitations and positive images for the product. Products that are
widely known to the public can attract consumers to buy these products. Promotions
received by consumers show that they trust the information on the product being
sold. Information received will be proven by making a purchase. If the thing
consumer feel when receive the product is following what is being promoted, the
consumer will be satisfied.

The Effect of Place on Consumer Trust and Satisfaction.


Place or distribution in the marketing mix shows the distribution of products from
sellers to consumers. The seller must meet the demands of all buyers scattered in
various regions.

The Effect of Trust on Consumer Satisfaction


Anderson and Narus (1990) suggest that trust is a driver of satisfaction. Consumers
who trust the seller will accept the risks that may occur in the transaction and tend to
be satisfied with the results received. Yoon (2002), Ribbink et al. (2004), and Horppu
et al. (2008) indicated that there was a positive relationship between satisfaction and
trust.

The Effect of Trust and Consumer Satisfaction


On Repurchase Intention Sellers and consumers must build a relationship of mutual
trust and satisfaction. Business players must try to gain consumer trust so that
consumers are willing to make purchases online. If that trust increases, consumers
will not hesitate to make repeat purchases. Likewise, consumers who are satisfied
with the purchases that have been made tend to make repeat purchases.
Band (1991) says that consumer satisfaction is a level where consumer needs,
wants, and expectations can be fulfilled or exceeded through a transaction that will
result in repeat purchases or continued loyalty.

Customer satisfaction informs you about customer happiness. It tells how your
customers are satisfied with your products, services, and capabilities. Along with
product reviews and ratings, customer satisfaction helps you improve your services,
develop your products, and make the overall experience with your site more user-
friendly.

HOW TO TALK WITH CUSTOMER


How to Talk with Customers in English:
Tips, Tricks and Essential Vocab
The key to a successful conversation lies in clear and direct communication. Here
are some essential tips and expressions for speaking successfully with any
customer.

1. Greet Customers Appropriately

Greeting someone is pretty easy if you know how to do it right. The goal is to be
polite and professional, not overly friendly. Maintain a distance, because if you
appear too eager or too excited, the customer is likely to be put off.
Essential vocabulary:
Hi
Hello
Welcome to [store name].
Good morning/evening
How may I help you?
Can I help you find something? (typically used in retail shops)
Sample sentences:
Hello, how may I help you?
Good morning, sir/ma’am. Can I help you find something today?
2. Casually Introduce Yourself and the Company

The same rules apply if it’s a telemarketing call or a new client. Speak clearly, at a
moderate pace and never try to rush the conversation.
Essential vocabulary:
Hello, my name is [first name] [last name].
recently launched (referring to a product that’s new on the market)
new range of products/services (referring to a group or series of related products)
may be of use
may interest you
may benefit
Would you be interested?
discount
cheaper pricing
save money
Sample sentence:
Hello, my name is Rishav Patel from Malcolm Services. We’ve recently launched a
new range of products which may be of interest to you. Would you be interested in
learning about them?

3. Understand and Respond to the Client’s Needs

Every customer has a particular need and your job is to find out what that is.
Sometimes a customer’s need is very specific and they’ll be upfront about it. But the
majority have only a vague idea of what they want.
You must talk to them to find out what would be the best product/service for them.
And if you’re selling something that’s expensive, you must also convince them that
your product/service is worth the price.
The easiest and the best way to do this is to observe before talking.
When a customer enters a store, after greeting them, watch them look around for a
bit. You’ll notice that they may keep coming back to one product, or they may
compare one product to another. That’s when you know that they’re pretty certain
about what they want, and now you just have to convince them that they really
need it.
For instance, a woman may enter a mobile phone store and focus on Samsung
smartphones. By observing her, you already know she prefers Androids to Apple
products and you have a general idea of her budget.
Now, you can ask her what kind of features she expects in her new phone, and
suggest accordingly. Also feel free to ask specific questions.

Essential vocabulary:
check out this [product/service] (when you want to introduce a product/service to a
customer)
This product would be a good fit…
Innovative features/new features/exciting features
Have you used this or something similar?
What do you think? (engage with the customer; get their opinion on the
product/service)
price range
value
bargain
Sample sentence:
You may be interested in an Acme laptop. It would be a good fit for your needs.
You’ll see that the price range is very affordable, and we’re currently offering a
discount as well, which makes this laptop a great bargain.
In fact, if there’s a discount/sale involved, don’t try to lure in your customer with that,
but save it for last, like a prize. And make sure you adequately pause between
sentences, so that your customer can speak as well.

4. Successfully Negotiate with a Customer About Pricing


Sometimes, a customer may actually be interested in buying a product, but might be
held back due to the price.
In such a case, your first priority is to emphasize the features of the product and
prove that it’s worth the price. You can do this by comparing it to other models and
explaining why the others will fail to fulfill the customer’s needs.

If the cost is the only issue, you can highlight different payment options. These may
include discounts, payment installments or even refund options, if necessary—we’ll
provide and explain vocabulary for this below. You can also add some urgency by
saying the product is in great demand and therefore is in short supply.
If you feel the product is genuinely unaffordable for the customer, then you can
suggest a similar product that has a lower price. Ideally, the customer will leave the
shop with a lighter wallet, but also feeling uplifted and glad about the purchase.
Essential vocabulary:
great find (let the customer know a deal like this is rare)
limited supply
may be out of stock soon
cheap for its price and features
alternative payment options
pay in installments (where the customer can pay for a product in small amounts over
a period of time)
discount available
money back guarantee (where buyers can return the product if they’re not satisfied
with it, and get a refund, within a certain time period.)
cash refund
Sample sentences:
Yes, it does appear expensive, but you if look at all the features it comes with, it’s
actually a bargain. Since this product is in limited supply, it’s a great find.
If you don’t wish to pay the whole sum right now, you can look at our alternative
payment options such as paying in installments.

5. Deal with a Rude Customer Without Being Rude Yourself

Sometimes, the customer may become rude and verbally lash out at you. Maybe
he/she is in a bad mood and has decided to take it out on you. At such times, it’s
important to learn from the situation and not take personal offense.
Your job is to placate (soothe/appease) the customer by apologizing as politely as
you can. The expressions below will help you do that.
(However, if the customer becomes violent or starts using offensive language,
promptly call management or security.)
Essential vocabulary:
We’re very sorry if our product failed to meet your expectations…
I would like to personally apologize…
I understand that you feel upset…
We’re very sorry for any inconvenience.
I can remedy the situation by… (if you have something you can offer the customer as
a solution/fix)
I am sure we can reach a solution
Sample sentences:
We’re very sorry if our product failed to meet your expectations. However, I can
remedy the situation by offering you a free exchange for another product.
I understand that you feel upset, and I would like to personally apologize for any
inconvenience. If you’d be so kind as to answer a few questions, I am sure we can
reach a solution to this issue.
6. Conclude a Conversation by Sealing the Deal
Once the customer has made up his/her mind, you can steer the conversation to
payment and close the deal on a positive note.
But leave a small opening for the future, too!
Essential vocabulary:
Thank you so much for shopping with us.
We hope you enjoyed shopping with us.
We hope you’ll visit us again.
Looking forward to seeing you again.
Feel free to call us anytime if you have any questions.
If a friend/family member needs something similar, we’d be happy to help.
Sample sentences:
Thank you so much for shopping with us. We look forward to seeing you again!
We hope you enjoyed shopping with us. Please feel free to call us anytime if you
have questions about your new [product].

The secret to a successful conversation lies in balancing empathy and


professionalism. In the course of the conversation, you have to play several roles. At
first, you must be a polite stranger, ready to help out. Once you’ve established a
rapport, figure out the best product to suit the client’s needs. As soon as the decision
is made, carefully guide the conversation to the payment options and finally close the
deal on an optimistic note with the promise of a future visit soon.
