can ultimately lead to higher customer satisfaction, retention, and revenue. It is crucial for
businesses to keep track of customer satisfaction levels and adjust to changing customer

Customer satisfaction is not a one-time goal, but an ongoing process that requires constant
attention and improvement from businesses.
