In reply to Simon Buckingham's request for books on customer service.
You might want to take a look at:
"Delivering Quality Service: Balancing Customer Perceptions and
Expectations" by Valery Ziethalm, Leonard Berry and A.Parasuraman, 1990
This book offers an interesting model for a comprehensive assesment on
customer satisfaction. The model confronts the expectations of customer,
both internally (own experience) and externally (marketing, other people's
experience, etc.) created with the actual delivered service through work
structures, instructions, training, etc.
I hope this is of help to you. Regards,
