Assessment activity 1
1. What procedures could be implemented in a workplace to identify and analyse customer needs, wants and expectations?
To identify customer needs, you should first determine who your potential customers are help you develop a more detailed picture of them and understand how to target them. Your workplace could implement a system where all existing customers are either sent out a survey or given a phone call to determine how satisfied your customers are with your service and to provide feedback on what they expect from your company.

B) How privacy legislation should be applied and how they impact on your relationship with customers
Every business collects information about employees and some may even collect information about clients and customers. This information is highly private and you need to consider the legal requirements of the act. You should teach your employees these legal requirements. Make sure that you hold and use personal information in a safe and secure way, and that you dispose of it securely when you have finished with it. Your customers trust you to protect the information that you provide to them, if you lose that trust – it is likely that they will take their business elsewhere; it is also likely that this could damage your businesses reputation.

Customers want to be treated in a friendly manner with honest, straightforward information and responses. They appreciate a customer service representative who is willing to admit mistakes and work to correct them. Customers who believe they have been misled stop doing business with the company. These ‘critical incidents’ are experiences that make the customer walk away and never return. They don’t complain, they just leave and share the negative service experience with others. The bad news spreads, leading the organisation to lose more customers and deterring prospective customers. Critical incidents can include broken promises that annoy and anger customers. Customers expect to be informed if a promise cannot be fulfilled. Finally, customers expect understanding and empathy from a customer service representative who is willing to see things from their point of view, especially when there is a problem.
When a customer has a question or needs something the answer is never just "no" or "I'm not sure" we always say that we can either find out for them or let me see what I can do. At this point call an advisor or management who can properly address the question, issue, concern, or

2. I completely agree with Ellen’s notion that simply listening to customers is not good enough by itself. She says that companies should create a relationship with mutual respect for each other. In this relationship the companies should provide the tools needed for customers to achieve their goals. If firms start to just listen to what their customers are saying and stop at that they are going to love its entire customer base very quickly. That is why I believe that quick and right action is needed when a company has listened to its customers complaints or suggestions to successfully continue to operate.
