Creating Customer Value,

Satisfaction & Loyalty

 Introduction
The only value your company will ever create is
the value that comes from customers the ones
you have now and the ones you will have in the
future. Businesses succeed by getting, keeping,
and growing customers. Customers are the only
reason you build factories, hire employees,
schedule meeting, etc. Without customers, you
dont have a business.
