Customer orientation is a recurring theme in almost all organizations' speeches, but are we living out our values in reality? We asked our customers for their opinion. The results rose to a commendable level in all areas, with an overall customer service rating of nine. “Although we expected reasonably good feedback, the end result was still a nice surprise.
