Project 1 - A customer in an electronics shop, a client in a hairdressing salon

Project 1.

Select a scenario that you are familiar with where a customer interacts with an organisation.

• Regularly seek customer feedback
• Review customer satisfaction using verifiable evidence
• Identify opportunities to enhance the quality of service and products
• Monitor procedures for effectiveness
