What the customer demands is last year's model, cheaper. To find out what the customer needs you have to understand what the customer is doing as well as he understands it. Then you build what he needs and you educate him to the fact that he needs it.

The great thing is the start - to see an opportunity for service, and to start doing it, even though in the beginning you serve but a single customer - and him for nothing.

A Viable Plan
Genuine?
I wouldn't use that expression around here.
In fact...
Forget about using it at all.
The chances you'll find an application for it,
Are slim to none!
On the other hand...
Those genuinely ingenuous,
Can be found all over the place in abundance.
'That' is what needs to be marketed.
Here is my business card!
Call me when and if you devise a plan,
To implement!
I'll be your salesperson...
We can make a fortune,
And chase pretentiousness out of this place!
With the best customer service available!
Saving a bundle on the training alone.
Making the effort lucrative,
As well as cost effective!
I tell you...
That's all it will take!
A viable plan.

The Government and the Insurance Companies
You teachers and the gentle folks
don't smoke like giants and drink as hogs.
Hide these facts when you insure
but your autopsies tonsure.
Your heirs are squeezed to live as dogs.
Non-disclosure of facts result in loss of your money
and the insurers lie in wait to lick this honey.
The government blame the agents as if the policies they mis-sell
but they are in hand in glove with the companies to puzzle,
saying as they had breached the duty of utmost good faith;
the companies deny claims making comments blithe.
To get the dues, the nominees have to wait at the Customer Care,
then the Consumer's Forum and the Ombudsman next
and then the IRDA and finally the Court, hand in hand with the agent.
For every ten thousand the agent gets
a thousand as income tax, the Coffers wets,
besides the Service Tax for winking at these atrocities.

Quality in a product or service is not what the supplier puts in. It is what the customer gets out and is willing to pay for. A product is not quality because it is hard to make and costs a lot of money, as manufacturers typically believe. This is incompetence. Customers pay only for what is of use to them and gives them value. Nothing else constitutes quality.
