Understanding What Customers Expect from Services
Customer expectations are the customers' beliefs about the service's quality, speed, and reliability. In the case of IT and ITES, the customers' expectations are formed mainly through their experiences, communications, and the prevailing standards in the industry.
It is necessary to have open communication and feedback to realise the expectations. Wrong expectations are a frequent source of dissatisfaction.
To manage the expectations, keeping promises that are not too high and delivering a performance that is consistent is necessary. Openness creates trust.
When expectations change, companies have to change with them to be able to compete.
Customer expectations being met or even exceeded consequently brings about customer satisfaction, customer loyalty and a better brand image.
