Why do firms focus on Services? Services can provide higher profit margins and growth potential than products Customer satisfaction and loyalty are driven by service excellence Services can be used as a differentiation strategy in competitive markets Jerome The are 3 main reasons why our program is focusing on services. It provides a higher profit margin than tangible products, Increases satisfaction and retention, Provides a competitive advantage over others. I am going to use two examples to illustrate these points. The automotive industry has typically been perceived as a manufacturing industry. However, after-sale services and parts account for nearly 80% of all revenue opportunities, and more than 50% of the average automobile dealer’s profits It is by far the largest creator of shareholder value on a percentage basis. A GM study revealed that $9 billion in after sale revenue produced $2 billion in profits (22% margin). Profits from $150 billion car sales were much lower. JD Power and Associates published a report showing a strong correlation between customer satisfaction with after-sale services and customer intent to repurchase the same brand (Lexus and Saturn cars) Hyundai’s success is due largely to its differentiation strategy of offering 10 year - 100,000 mile guarantee. The service offering is changing customer’s perception of the brand The same can be said about the personal computer industry. With the advancement of technology, personal computers are now becoming more and more of a commodity. While 25% of revenue opportunities are in the initial sale, most revenue opportunities are from after-sale. Company responsiveness to customer calls is the biggest driver customer satisfaction with its product. Dell revolutionized the industry by being the first to offer mass customization of personal computers. ------------------------- Across manufacturing companies, after-sale services and parts contributes about 25% of total revenue, and 40%-50% of all profits Services related revenue exceeds first-time product sales by 500% - 2000% Retail industry derive largest margins from sale of extended warranties It is a program that is designed in response to a business environment that is increasingly moving away from a product orientation to a service-focus GE, IBM other good examples.

Implications of Intangibility Services cannot be inventoried Services cannot be easily patented Services cannot be readily displayed or communicated Pricing is difficult
Implications of Heterogeneity Service delivery and customer satisfaction depend on employee and customer actions Service quality depends on many uncontrollable factors There is no sure knowledge that the service delivered matches what was planned and promoted
Implications of Simultaneous Production and Consumption Customers participate in and affect the transaction Customers affect each other Employees affect the service outcome Decentralization may be essential Mass production is difficult
Implications of Perishability It is difficult to synchronize supply and demand with services Services cannot be returned or resold
