Spend	 a	 lot	 of	 time	 talking	 to	 customers	 face	 to	 face.	 You’d	 be	 amazed	 how
many	companies	don’t	listen	to	their	customers.

         —Ross	Perot,	businessman	and	Reform	Party	presidential	candidate

Customers	don’t	expect	you	to	be	perfect.	They	do	expect	you	to	fix	things	when
they	go	wrong.

         —Donald	Porter,	British	Airways	executive

No	 customer	 walks	 into	 your	 business,	 gives	 you	 money	 and	 then	 says,
“dissatisfy	me,	please.”	Aim	for	100%	customer	satisfaction.

         —Bill	Quiseng,	writer,	speaker,	hotel	executive,	and	blogger	(from	billquiseng.com)	

Never	say	no	when	a	client	asks	for	something—even	if	it	is	the	moon.	You	can
always	 try,	 and	 anyhow	 there	 is	 plenty	 of	 time	 afterward	 to	 explain	 that	 it	 was
not	possible.

         —César	Ritz,	founder	of	the	Hôtel	Ritz	(Paris)	and	The	Ritz	Hotel	(London)	

We	 should	 never	 be	 allowed	 to	 forget	 that	 it	 is	 the	 customer	 who,	 in	 the	 end,
determines	how	many	 people	 are	employed	 and	what	 sort	 of	wages	 companies
can	afford.

         —Lord	Robens,	chairman	of	National	Coal	Board,	United	Kingdom
