Customer service
This activity is included in the marketing and administrative functions. Entrepreneurs who maintain
good human relations are aware of clients’ needs, and so provide very good customer service.
Examples are after-sales service; attention to detail, such as serving refreshments when a client visits;
personal presentability and attractive premises; user-friendliness; and having a neatly ordered shop
and clear instructions for using products. Clients remember, support and recommend a business that
meets their needs and gives them something extra without making them feel they are paying for it.
