75 painful questions about your customer satisfaction: ”Customer satisfaction is not something that you achieve then tick it off on your ’things to do’ list, it is about continuous improvement throughout the whole organization.

Do customers want to see facts or product advertising (or both!) on your web site?” [From the Desktop of Dane Carlson]
