You suspect that your customers aren’t as happy as they once were. First, existing customers
seem to be departing abandoning you for the competition almost as fast as you can get new
ones. Second, your company has started to become the butt of bad jokes at conferences and in
the press. So how do you set about measuring, and improving, your customers' satisfaction?
It's important to see things through their eyes. You can experiment try your service for yourself, or
watch your customers using it. A further option is to carry out some qualitative research with your
customers. Whichever way you choose, the objective is to identify the issues on which customers
will form their judgment of your service, so you can frame your questions accordingly. It would be
foolish to think you could know all of those questions, let alone their answers, at
the foundation outset.
But your reputation is at risk if you fail to deliver. Don't embark on a customer-satisfaction exercise
unless you are prepared to act on the results. If you ask people what they are unhappy about and
then do nothing about it, you will leave them more disillusioned with you than ever. And remember
that it’s a moving target: today’s satisfied customer is tomorrow’s bored one. A service level
that hits the button today may be considered downright sloppy in six months’ time; such is the
pace of change.

So keep saying to yourself, 'Let's find out where our performance falls below expectations, and
Reid Joinery was established by Gordon Reid 15 years ago as a small company specializing in
wooden structures, from floors to staircases. Since then, we have evolved significantly.
We attribute our success to the dedication and expertise of our workforce, which ranges from six
apprentices to permanent employees who are highly qualified and experienced. Reid
actively encourages employees to progress through the company, and many of the current
surveyors and site managers launched their careers on the Reid workshop floor.
Quality is at the forefront of Reid’s philosophy and each new project, whatever its size,
is handled with the same dedication and completed to the highest quality standards. This
enthusiasm is reflected in the numerous industry awards the company has received.
At present, Reid is involved in the refurbishment of a major concert hall in London, with particular
responsibility for the stage and acoustic panels. This is our largest project to date, and is expected
to be completed within budget and on schedule.
Reid’s varied project portfolio includes numerous blue chip companies, such as the BBC and
Shell. Perhaps one of our most prestigious projects was restoration work we carried on out at
Windsor Castle. However, our focus is not upon corporate clients alone: many private residences,
currently one of the most popular employers in Aveburn. Unlike a number of its competitors, which
are currently conducting running at a loss, OFC has reported its most successful year ever,

mainly due to a major new contract early in the year. The company has plans to expand its core
business in the coming year. A key factor in the company’s success has been its wish to create a
highly skilled and motivated workforce, as highlighted in its mission announcement statement.
One of Stewart Green’s first actions on becoming the new Managing Director last year was
to figure assess his employees’ training needs. He then established a training program to enable
all staff to work towards nationally recognized qualifications. The cost of this ambitious scheme
was partially met by local enterprise agencies. Stewart said that motivating his staff was very
important for him, adding, ‘As well as making sure employees have availability access to training
and good working conditions, I’ve tried to ensure that staff at all levels of the company are fully
informed about the activities of the co-operative and are made to feel part of a unique
organization.’ The future of the company is looking good. Having invested in both training and
new facilities, this co-operative is now a major supplier of premium products, not just in the UK, but
throughout Europe.
