Customer Satisfaction

Besu, Ennew and Palmer (1998, pp. 170-175) consider Customer Satisfaction as a necessary interactive dimension of Relationship Quality, noting that Length of Relationship, Trust, Ethics and Expertise are positive factors in building Customer’s Satisfaction while Sales Orientation of the Sales people is a negative factor.


In general a satisfied customer will remain more with the supplier, while a dissatisfied customer will try to move to another supplier. 

As Peppers and Rogers (2004, p. 47) suggest new customers during the early stages of their Relationship with a company may count differently a negative experience and lead with high probability to a defection, so they need the closer care to create satisfying experiences than an old customer, who will compare it with his other previous experiences.
