◉Heterogeneity . Ans: in that it is difficult to standardize. It means that
each time a service is delivered, it will be different as the needs and
behavior of customers can vary. No matter how well the service is
designed and advertised, customers may still request a service beyond
what is presented. For example, in a massage salon, a patron might
occasionally request a more complex type of massage and prefer a
lighter one on a separate day.
◉Inseparability . Ans: in that the production and consumption of
services are simultaneous. The service provider is often physically
present when a customer consumes it. Such as, in education services, an
instructor discusses concepts while students comprehend them or when
doctors listen to their patients to diagnose or recommend treatments
◉Perishable . Ans: in that that it cannot be stored. It means that services
have a limited "shelf life." Such as, if a hotel room is not booked for
Christmas night, the service meant to be provided has perished, as the
same room for sale on the following night offers a different service.

incidents, allowing them to strike preemptively before issues do any
damage
