Customer’s tastes and preferences get changed regularly. So, company hasto look upon their choices that would help in increasing the sales of organization.Researcher has interest in this area that can help to conduct better research.

the needs of users that would help in increasing the sales of firm. According to Cohen and Olsen,2013” satisfied clients are loyal customers and they come again and again in the organization”.Customer satisfaction is one of the main aspects that can help organizations to survive in thecompetitive market for longer period. In the current competitive market, it is difficult to satisfythe needs of guests because their preferences can get changed any time. It is more difficult tobuild long term relationship with customers. In this respect Chiang and Hsieh, 2012 stated that“different factors can put their impact on the overall performance of company but having goodrelationship with consumers can support in increasing the sales of organization to a high extent.”If firm is able to provide quality services and products then people will be loyal towards thebrand and they will be attached with the brand for longer period. As per the views of Chiang andHsieh, 2012 satisfaction level of clients is directly related with the sales of company as if peopleare satisfied then they will give positive comments to others whereas if they are not satisfied thenthey will give negative feedback that can create bad brand image. In this context, managementhas to make sure that they provide immediate and quality services to users that would help inincreasing the sales of company. As per the views of Cohen and Olsen, 2013 employees are the biggest factor that affectthe overall performance of company. If workers of organizations are motivated then they willgive quick response to consumers whereas if staff members are not positive towards the brandthen they will not contribute in attainment of entity’s objectives and will not give properresponse to customer's queries. It would result in affecting the sales performance of organizationin a negative manner. Products of the firm put high impact on the sales records as if companyfails to provide quality services and products to customers then it would be difficult to survive inthe competitive market that would decrease the sales of organization. In absence of high qualityproducts, organization will fail to satisfy consumers that will hamper its sales performance. According to Eisingerich, Auh and Merlo, 2014 firms have to look upon the needs ofservice users. By fulfilling the desires of them, entity will be able to attract more customers that5

would enhance their sales. If firm is able to fulfill its consumers’ needs then people will besatisfied and they will visit the hotel again that will increase the sales of organization.According to Chiang and Hsieh, 2012 there are many factors that affect the consumersatisfaction to great extent. Product quality is the major element that influence the mind of client(Chiang and Hsieh, 2012). If firm is unable to service them quality hospitality services thenindividual will get negative and will not come in the organization again. In the hospitalityindustry consumers expect to get quality services at minimum time, they do not want to wait alot. If hotel or restaurant is able to satisfy their needs then consumers come in the placefrequently otherwise they do not come here that impact on the sales volume of the firms. Onother hand Cohen and Olsen, 2013 has argued that communication is the major element thataffect the satisfaction level of customers. If company is able to make effective communicationwith them and resolve their issues immediately then it will make clients loyal towards the brand.Otherwise, they will move to other organization soon (Cohen and Olsen, 2013 ). Each individualwants that employees of hotel listen to them carefully and provide them food and servicesimmediately as per their need. But if there is communication gap and management do not givethem quick response on their quarries then it makes them negative and they give negativefeedback to others as well. By this way overall sales volume of the companies can get affectedbadly. 1.4 Research project specificationResearch methodology is the process through which researcher can collect relevantinformation and data for achieving aim and objective of the research.
