Quality Throughout
A Customers impression of quality begins with the initial contact with the company and continues through the life of the product.
Customers look to the total package - sales, service during the sale, packaging, deliver, and service after the sale. Quality extends to how the receptionist answers the phone, how managers treat subordinates, how courteous sales and repair people are, and how the product is serviced after the sale.
All departments of the company must strive to improve the quality of their operations.
