1. Introduction
Previous researchers have mainly researched consumer satisfaction and use
customer responses and service quality to the output produced by the company (Al-
Azzam, 2015; Faraj Aldaihani, Bin Ali, Hashim, & Basha, 2020; Tohara, Dewi,
Faizah, Nugraha, & Andi, 2020). In contrast to previous studies, this study
examines customer relationship management, which is expected to accommodate
different customer experiences, increasing customer satisfaction. This research is
based on the arguments of (Imbug, Ambad, & Bujang, 2018), which says that the
treatment given to the organization to customers who have different experiences is
a strategy to obtain a positive customer response to the organization.
Positive consumer response is one indicator of customer satisfaction (Ban & Kim,
2019). Customer satisfaction is maintained in a good way, is a success for every
company. Because if the customer is satisfied after consuming the goods or services
provided by the company, it means that the company can meet consumer needs
following expectations. According to (Othman, Harun, Rashid, & Ali, 2019),
customer satisfaction is the key to long-term business success. The company must
offer a product or service based on quality to outperform its competitors to get the
satisfaction of its customers to protect, gain, and maintain market share. Customer
satisfaction is one of the main goals that any company looks for in the long term,
with customers being considered a top priority (Minh & Huu, 2016).
Customer experience is a broad concept that includes customers and companies that
provides for customers physical and emotional experiences when interacting with
company products and services. Customer experience is subjective because it
involves customer opinions until the post-consumption stage (Bascur & Rusu,
2020). Customer experience is considered a unique concept superior to services and
products, specifically customer experience, divided into four categories, namely
entertainment, education, quotes, and aesthetics (Lee, Ka-hyun Lee, & Choi, 2018).

Based on above explanation, we formulate a research problem as follows: the extent
to which Customer Relationship Management and Customer Experience influence
Customer Satisfaction.
2. Literature Review
Customer satisfaction is an attitude customers show because the company has
succeeded in fulfilling customer wants and needs. Customer satisfaction requires
meeting customer expectations for products and services. When the company's
performance responds to customer desires, consumers will feel satisfaction
(Afthanorhan, Awang, Rashid, Foziah, & Ghazali, 2019; Al-Azzam, 2015). The
concept of consumer satisfaction is described as a personal sensation, joy (or
displeasure), arising from comparing the perceived performance of a firm to
customer expectations (Aymar & Joseph, 2019; Felix, 2017; Tohara et al., 2020).
Customer satisfaction is the customer's feeling towards product performance where
the customer has product expectations and is satisfied if the product performance
matches or even exceeds customer expectations (Pakurár, Haddad, Nagy, Popp, &
Oláh, 2019).
Customer experience is the customer's impression of the output and services offered
by the company as a whole. According to (Situmorang, Rini, & Muda, 2017),
customer experience is an event that occurs and binds each individual personally.
An unforgettable experience and always remembered will determine the behavior
of the next customer can form. Companies that are able to give a memorable
experience will form strong relationships with their clients; therefore, these bonds
will cause customers to become fascinated with the items supplied. Customer
experience encompasses both the interaction with the business and the achievement
of value made possible by the firm's product or service offering. Due to the
subjectivity of customer experiences, they serve as the key source of competitive
advantage and distinction (Beyari & Ghouth, 2018; Imbug et al., 2018).

Customer Relationship Management and Customer Experience
Customer relationship management includes knowledge about customers to
manage and serve customers better and use an approach based on customer needs
and interests (Yerpude & Singhal, 2018). Suppose the company can manage and
serve customers through a process based on customer needs and interests. In that
case, this will positively impact the customer experience when using the products
and services provided by the company. Customer experience is quality as
excellence and the customer's subjective reaction to a strange and direct experience
full of the company (Nobar & Rostamzadeh, 2018).
Based on this brief description, the next constellation of research to be carried out
can be described:

3. Research Methods
This research follows a descriptive and quantitative flow and uses a survey method.
The study was conducted on respondents in a shopping center in Lampung Province
and used a sample of 135 respondents. Obtaining data using non-random sampling
method, and the technique used is purposive sampling. Using a closed design and
instrument, the response rate is calculated and sent directly to the responder. This
design is intended to boost the response rate. The instrument is evaluated using
validity, reliability, construct reliability, and variance retrieved using Lisrel 8.8 on
a Likert scale ranging from 1 to 5.

In the sub-structure test 2 findings, the path coefficient (γη2ξ1) is 0.15 and the value
of tstatistics=1.96>t-list (0.05: 135) = 1.65, hence Ho is rejected and the path
coefficient γη2ξ1 is significant. The path coefficient (βη2η1) is 0.40, and the value
of tstatistics = 3.74>t-list (0.05: 135) = 1.65; hence, Ho is rejected, and the path
coefficient βη2η1 is significant.
Calculated using the path coefficient and t statistics value for testing hypotheses. The
explanation is provided that the standardized loading factor value of all route
coefficients is more than 0.05 and t statistics is greater than 1.65; thus, Ho is rejected
and three lines are statistically significant. The following simultaneously describes
the conventional solution method for each variable based on a linear program's
structural connection.
In Figure 3, the link between exogenous variables (ξ) and endogenous variables (η)
is impacted indirectly and globally by the standardized solution trajectory scheme
and the direct influence, respectively. On the basis of the output of the linear
structural connection regarding the standardization of the whole impact. It states
that: (1) the amount of the impact ξ1 to η1 and ξ1 to η2 is equal to the size of the
direct effect of each variable since there are no other mediating factors; and (2) the
indirect effect of ξ1 to η2 through 2 is 0.40 x 0.60 = 0.24, while the overall effect is
0.24 + 0.15 = 0.39.

Overall Model Fit Test
Following is a list of the goodness-of-fit conclusions based on the structural model
test results.
Based on Lisrel's output, the overall fitness of the model using 2test (chi-square)
yielded a Weighted Least Squares chi-square value of 70.73 with a p-value of 0.008
<0.05; hence, it was determined that the overall χ2 test results did not match.
Moreover, the value of χ2 divided by the degree of freedom (χ2 / df) is 70.73/38 =
1.86 <0.05. Therefore, It may be extrapolated that the control of the model's
completeness, represented by the number of pressures of freedom, has a decent fit.
RMSEA must be less than 0.08 for the constructed model to be deemed satisfactory.
GFI, CFI, NFI, NNFI, IFI, RFI, and ECVI all exhibit test results with magnitudes
more than 0.90, thus it can be determined that the model has a good fit. In contrast,
AGFI demonstrates test findings that are less than 0.90, so it can be agreed that the
model has a bad fit.
The meaning of this hypothesis test explains that if the indicators of customer
relationship management are improved, including improving the management of
relationships with consumers, improving activities before and after transactions,
improving the analysis of information obtained about customers, and improvements

in handling consumer complaints, then the quality of transactions, reviews positive
attitudes about products also services, the desire to recommend products and
services to others, and the intensity of business strategies and social communities
for the better.
The findings from this hypothesis test explain that if the approach taken by
management in managing relationships with consumers is improved, activities
when making transactions and activities after making purchases are increased, there
are efforts to improve the management of information about customers, and
improvements are made in handling consumer complaints, Then the emotional
reasoning power of consumers when comparing products received and expected to
be better, better attitudes and emotional reactions to service providers, increased
desire to return to using products, and increased loyalty to the use of company
products or services.
The findings of this study explain that if the customer experience indicators are
improved, namely the quality of interactions with customers, positive reviews about
products or services, an emotional desire to provide product and service
recommendations to others, and an increase in the quality of business strategies,
consumers will feel a sense of conformity. between the product received and what
is expected, so that the desire to provide recommendations to others becomes
stronger.

experience in using the products and services provided by the company.
Maintenance of relationships with customers carried out by the company with an
approach based on customer needs and interests greatly influences customer
expectations of the company's products and services so that customers can feel
satisfaction. The memorable experience obtained by customers in using a
company's product or service can achieve customer satisfaction. It significantly
affects the company's profitability.
Based on the conclusions we made, the implication is that there must be efforts
made by management to improve the management of relationships and transactions
with consumers, both when consumers make purchases or after making purchases.
Management can manage important information about consumers when purchasing
activities occur, and handle complaints that arise as a result of process weaknesses
when conducting transaction activities.
No research is without weaknesses. Of course, this study also has limitations. The
first relates to the sampling technique. As previously mentioned, purposive
sampling is the sampling method used to identify the sample based on particular
features. Of course in this technique, the number of samples selected is not fully
representative of the other samples. Therefore, to generalize this research to
consumers in similar industries or other industries, it must be done carefully.
The second limitation relates to the individuals surveyed, namely the visitors to the
shopping center. Meanwhile, on the other hand, the market's ability to absorb
products or services produced by the company is also determined by the
competence and communication skills of employees or marketers, so research on
attitudes and behavior using employees or marketers also needs to be done.

research on internet communication in supporting the sale of a product or service
still needs to be done.
