Introduction

Customer satisfaction is considered very important now a day, it shows how firms are committed to provide quality product or services to their customers that eventually increase customer loyalty. Satisfying the customer is one of the basic objectives of the organization, as it is often said that customer is boss and boss is always right, so it means customer is right when he demands for after sale services. After sales service is an emerging concept in the business community. Organizations have to provide better after sale services to retain and satisfy its customer. Making and retaining valuable relationship with customer while using every aspect of taking, retaining and enhancing customer is known as customer relationship management (Kotler and Armstrong, 2010). Through customer relationship management, organizations can achieve their objective of retaining and satisfying customers. Customer satisfaction results in increased demand of product/ service and the organization or brand reputation increases. When organization sell product effectively it has to make effective planning for services after sale, such planning is a part of customer relationship management. After sale, service has been important for organization to compete in the market by using such extended services

Front line employees play an extra ordinary role in service value chain, discussed by many authors and researchers. Employees that work at consumer service positions in the organization have to interact with the customers; they have to deliver high satisfaction to them. However, the capabilities of these front-line workers to satisfy customers mainly depend on the environment the organization provides to these employees. Strategic human resource practices that create productivity at work environment are directly related with organizational outcomes i.e. efficiency, quality service and satisfaction of customer. Through many ways customer can be contacted, these may be from physical direct interaction to contact indirectly by letter post, internet and telephone but the main theme is customer interaction (Zomerdijk and de Vries,2007). It is very important to note that after sale is a key to support marketing performance and to increase customer loyalty, productivity in long run (Saccani, 2006)

Customers play an important role in every business. The main purpose of every business is to satisfy its existing customers and to attract new customers. Satisfaction of customer is so basic that, it cannot be considered as a separate function in business. According to Posselt and Eitan (2005), improved customer satisfaction will lead to improved customer loyalty, which will eventually improve profit. In order to satisfy our customers, we have to focus on effective customer services to meet their needs. Customers satisfied by the product they purchased and by the service they got from sellers during and after they purchase the product. In Ethiopia, it is common to hear and read words like sold goods could not be returned from small shops and supermarkets to big companies. This shows that the relationship between buyers and sellers cease after the delivery of goods or services. As Kotler (2002) stated, selling process should go beyond the delivery of goods and services and there should be follow up step that a company should apply to ensure customer satisfaction and repeat business to make sure that there was proper installation, instruction and service. However, what the principle says and the reality in Ethiopia differs except in very few electronics businesses, which has warranty as a part of after sale service, few automobile companies that has after-sales Service Station and Ethiopian Telecommunication Corporation (ETC), which has post sale service for mobile and fixed line telephone services. While many companies in Ethiopia cease their relationship with their customers after they sold their products. Eventually, Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia (FDRE) (2010) has issued proclamation called trade practice and consumers protection under proclamation number 685/2010 in accordance with article 55(1) of FDRE constitution, which have been enter in to force starting from 16th of August, 2010.
