The Customer Revolution
As they did with responsiveness and quality, businesses of all types and
sizes have heeded the call and are giving customers the opportunity to
have it their way.
At one time we were satisfied with a one-size-fits-all product or service;
now we want businesses to bend to our will.
On a rational level, this means we’re more insistent that a product meet
our special needs.
Information and new technology are at the heart of the move toward
customizing service.
