It's important to see things through their eyes. You can [___] your service for yourself, or watch your customers using it.

A further option is to carry out some qualitative research with your customers. Whichever way you choose, the objective is to identify the [___] on which customers will form their judgement of your service, so you can frame your questions accordingly.

It would be foolish to think you could know all of those questions, let alone their answers, at the [___] .

But your reputation is at [___] if you fail to deliver. Don't embark on a customer-satisfaction exercise unless you are prepared to act on the results.

If you ask people what they are unhappy about and then do nothing about it, you will leave them more disillusioned with you than ever. And remember that it’s a [___] target: today’s satisfied customer is tomorrow’s bored one.

A service level that [___] the button today may be considered downright sloppy in six months’ time, such is the pace of change.

A key factor in the company’s success has been its wish to create a highly skilled and motivated workforce, as highlighted in its mission [___] .

One of Stewart Green’s first actions on becoming the new Managing Director last year was to …… his employees’ training needs.

He then established a training programme to enable all staff to work towards nationally [___] qualifications. The cost of this ambitious scheme was partially met by local enterprise agencies.

Stewart said that motivating his staff was very important for him, adding, ‘As well as making sure employees have [___] to training and good working conditions, (continues)

(continued) I’ve tried to ensure that staff at all [___] of the company are fully informed about the activities of the co-operative and are made to feel part of a unique organisation.’

The future of the company is [___] good. Having invested in both training and new facilities, this co-operative is now a major supplier of premium products, not just in the UK, but throughout Europe.
