Customer Service

(Note that nonprofits might use the term "clients" rather than "customers")

Increasing competition (whether for-profit or nonprofit) is forcing businesses to pay much more attention to satisfying customers, including by providing strong customer service. (It may help the reader to notice the role of customer service in the overall context of product or service development and management. See Product/Service Management. Also notice the Related Info (including customer satisfaction) in the library.)
