Managing Customer Relations
• Customer Satisfaction
– The negative effect of dissatisfied customers on a
firm’s reputation is far greater than the positive effect
of satisfied customers.
– Every customer has a unique set of performance
expectations and met-performance perceptions.
– Satisfaction is a perceptual relationship:
Perceived performance
Expected performance
– Project managers must be skilled at managing both
customer expectations and perceptions.
