quality

the ICS fid many make mistake of not focusing on customer when trying to imporve customer service. private sector better at satisfying customer, treat them with value + keep staff motivated more.

higher customer satisfaction -higher employee satisfaction -less complaints

handling complaints hardest but if success customer become very loyal

meeting customer expectation: 1) market research 2) customer service training 3) set up quality procedures +standards 4) monitor performance e.g. mystery shoppers
