In order to deliver excellent customer service and high customer satisfaction, the process must start with understanding customer expectations. You need to know who your customers are, where they are and what they expect.
These days, customers are empowered. Companies need to realize the importance of social media in the area of Customer Services. If a customer feels like you did not met the service expectation, they won’t come back and buy from you again. On the other side, if you deliver a service that exceeds customer expectations, you can bet they will come back to buy again, and tell all their friends about the experience.
