Product & Service Delivery - Customer may compromise with the cost of buying a CAR which she/he wish to gift someone at her/his marriage day but car company fails to deliver car enabling customer to gift car on the day for which PO was placed, car company may get PO cancelled even message get broadcast to entire audience in marriage party that don’t by particular brand of car or from particular supplier.
After Sales Service – In order to maintain sold cars, if company fails to provide good after sales service, the product may not stay longer in market and will out from the choice of customers automatically.

As customer service manager
you should have a team working close to you, this team is the communication tool between you and the customer
the team should be well trained to make surveys
for an example
the team should ask about the frequency of using the product or service your organization sells
questions can be asked to the customers

does it help you in your daily use
how often would you buy our product or service
how many users in your household may use our product or service
do you think that service or product can be developed to fit your needs
would you recommend this product or service to your friends or family members
by having answers to these questions you would know if the product needs development or not and you would know if it appeals to the customer or not
your company's website also can include these questions
