Customer focus
Asking about expectations is the ultimate form of customer focus. It shows you are interested in your customer's perception, helps you to understand them and to discover how you can really help improve their result. As the focus of customer dialogue is in the near (or more distant) future, Expectations Monitor gives you maximum influence on the extent to which customer expectations are met.
Focusing on expectations will also have a positive effect on your own organisation. As you will be looking ahead rather than back, all disciplines will influence the realisation of success. Everyone can use their own professionalism to live up to expectations: from Marketing to Production, from Sales to HR. This creates ownership for the solutions throughout the organisation.
