Quality of service
Quality of service is about understanding all phases of the customer journey in order to achieve a satisfactory customer experience. Companies are willing to focus on what is best for the customer. We must remember that reputation is what will bring new customers. That’s why we must make sure that every done action, is carried out caring about customers interests. In other words, you should not recommend a new technology to a customer just because one of your partners commercializes it. What you should do is protect the interests of your customers and exceed their expectations.
