When Do I, as a Customer, Become Happy?

  • You can confirm that the product you bought (the service you used) is of good quality and you are satisfied with its performance
  • You are amazed by the product or service by how much it exceeded your own expectations - Customer Delight
  • You are relieved that the product or service wasn’t as bad as you expected

Customer Satisfaction can be defined as stepping out of the experience in order to evaluate it. Someone can have a positive experience which can lead to a negative one because, even though the experience was positive, it wasn’t as positive as one expected. Thus, satisfaction or dissatisfaction is not just an emotion, it’s an evaluation of that emotion.

From Consumer Behavior by David L. Loudon, Albert J. Della Bitta

Why Wouldn’t We Just Lower Customer Expectations?

  • When we set high expectations, we are making it more difficult for the competition to stay in the game.
  • We are growing together!
