Electric Utility Business Customer Satisfaction Study
As the demands of business utility customers continue to evolve, understanding their experiences is imperative to increasing their satisfaction with their utilities. Business customers expect reliable power, fair rates, easy-to-use payment options, excellent customer service and that their utility is involved in the community. Listening to the Voice of the Customer is the first step in targeting performance improvement initiatives that may increase overall customer satisfaction.
