...their hand for the same reason. More customers mean more people buying and more people buying mean more profits for the company, isn’t it? Sounds sensible but I hate to break it to you but those of you who said yes are wrong. Today I will transform that thinking to exactly the opposite. I will introduce based on a new study the idea of ‘less is more’. Focusing on a smaller number of customers could help a company speed up growth, increase profit and improve long-term health. I am going to talk about how top companies gain customers, how they keep them and how these customers help them in expanding their business. They don’t need a lot of customers, just the right ones to keep them on top. First point is, fewer customers can speed up the company’s growth. Would you believe that some companies actually go out of business because of too many customers? Yes, that is true. The problem with these companies is they get very overwhelmed with the influx of customers that they forget to establish a connection with their customers. According to Forbes, this is one of the top 5 reasons why 8 out of 10 businesses fail - because they are not really in touch with their customers in a deep dialogue. I will explain this further when I get to my third point. Another reason why businesses go down is because they cannot keep up with the production to meet the demand of all the customers. Having more customers demanding the same product can wear you down that leads to poor quality and numerous errors...

...LITERATURE REVIEW The researcher will review existing literatures on customer service in the banking industry of Ghana. This chapter takes a look at the various variables that may influence important customer service amid fierce competition from the perspective of some writers and researchers. It starts with profile of the banking industry under study through to the importance and nature of the customer practices, Customer Satisfaction, Retention and Customer Loyalty, Customer Relationship Building and its practical implications for the study. THE BANKING INDUSTRY During the past decade, the financial sector in Ghana has undergone major changes mainly through the financial sector structural adjustment programme as part of the economic recovery programme. Moreover, globalisation, mergers and acquisitions, and the emergence of new technologies have contributed dramatically to stiffer competition and pressures on profitability (Amoako 2012) Before the 1950s, the number of bank accounts in Ghana was very few and what mattered most was the personal contact between the Bank Manager and his customers. There was hardly any urgent demand for information because of the low volumes of transactions. This made it possible to satisfy customers with manually kept records. Thus the majority of banking services were performed using manual operations and personal contact with customers without much information transfer and handling of customer data. As commercial activities increased...

...relationships between companies and their customers. A company will store information that is related to their customers, and they will spend time analyzing it so that it can be used for this purpose. Some of the methods connected with CRM are automated, and the purpose of this is to create marketing strategies which are targeted towards specific customers. The strategies used will be dependent on the information that is contained within the system. Customer relationship management is commonly used by corporations, and they will focus on maintaining a strong relationship with their clients. There are a number of reasons why CRM has become so important in the last 10 years. The competition in the global market has become highly competitive, and it has become easier for customers to switch companies if they are not happy with the service they receive. One of the primary goals of CRM is to maintain clients. When it is used effectively, a company will be able to build a relationship with their customers that can last a lifetime. Customer relationship management tools will generally come in the form of software. Each software program may vary in the way it approaches CRM. It is important to realize that CRM is more than just a technology. Customer relationship management could be better defined as being a methodology, an approach that a company will use to achieve their goals. It should be directly connected to the philosophy of the company. It must guide all of...

...possibilities of using the modern Balanced Scorecard method in human capital. Key words: key performance indicators, entrepreneurial sector, HR scorecard, performance, Balanced Scorecard 1. INTRODUCTION Many companies have implemented tools for measuring their performance in order to stay in business and come in contact with tough competition. Organizations must face not only to more demanding conditions but in the current period to the world financial crisis as well. Due to these reasons, the organizations are forced to measure performance of the organization and contribute to the stability of the organization in today´s competitive environment. Organizations try to measure performance according to the financial drivers but in the recent period top leaders attempted to find new performance indicators which would take the “wind from sail” to their rivals in the market. One of these competitive advantages is human capital. As the Tootell et al. (2009) stated “since 1980s there has been an increasing emphasis on the importance of HR measurement.” Yeung and Berman (1997) declared that “HR measures should be impact rather than activity orientated, forward looking than backward looking, and should focus on the entire HR system not just on individual practices.” Toulson and Dawe (2004) identified three obstacles in measuring HR: lack of HR experience and precision and difficulties in measurement. There were defined tools by various authors for measuring the HR capital. Srimannarayana (2010)...
