Case Study New Customer - Information Needs A customer, new to the bank, walks in through the door and looks around for the most likely place to open a new account. There are two customer service representatives (CSR) in the room, and neither of them has a customer at the desk. The one nearest to the door is on phone, and the one behind him has her head down, apparently buried in her work. No one looks up in the direction of the customer. The customer, Mrs. Benjamin, moves within view of the customer service representative at the first desk. He continues talking, obviously completing a personal phone call, without looking up. After several seconds, he says, "l've got to go. I've got a customer." He hangs up and looks up, saying, "May I help you?" Mrs. Benjamin takes a seat on her own initiative and tells him that she wants to open a current account. The CSR reaches for the signature card and service brochure and starts quoting the monthly balance requirement to avoid a service charge on a regular current account. Mrs. Benjamin changes direction entirely and indicates her particular interest in "something that offers an overdraft line of credit. .. does the bank offers anything...?."Clipping her last question, the CSR refers automatically to the cash reserve account and says that it's something customers have to qualify for. He informs Mrs. Benjamin that she'll have to fill out a credit application and

the bank will probably start her off with a Rs. 25,000 line and see how she manages it. Then, after a while she can request an increase if she wants. He asks the necessary questions and completes the paperwork to open the current account and hands her the cash reserve application, telling her that she can mail it back or drop it off next time she's in the bank. He asks her if she wants an ATM card. She says no, and that's the end of that discussion. She selects her check style, gives him her opening deposit, and finishes the transaction. As Mrs. Benjamin leaves the bank, she wonders if everyone who works for the bank is as poor in human relations skills as this CSR. She also wonders if she made a mistake by not just walking out after being told, in essence, that she might not be a good enough customer to qualify for more than Rs. 25,000 of the bank's credit. Well, anyway, she's stuck with them now - for a while at least. She'll wait and see how it goes over the next few months, and she thinks to herself, "If I'm still not comfortable with the bank, I'll shop around and move my account to a bank where the people treat you as if you really matter to them." Questions: (a) The case presents a pre-purchase information search situation. How well has the bank fulfilled the informational needs of the customer? (b) How is the above interaction likely to affect the customer's perception of the bank? (c) What is the marketing implication of the above interaction? (d) How would you advise the bank in terms of fulfilling the informational needs of customers?
