Largely viewed as commodity businesses and facing the additional risk of limited growth and value creation potential, consumer goods providers must embrace several attributes that are critical to business performance. In fact, companies exhibiting these attributes over recent years have been able to outperform their peers.

Customer Satisfaction in the Changing Global Economy

In a world where feature and price advantages can be quickly matched if not bettered, a company's one remaining source of sustainable competitive advantage may be the quality of the customer experience it delivers. Ecomark Group's ongoing research on High Performance Business has shown that the ability to deliver a consistent, differentiated customer experience has a greater impact on customer loyalty than any other factor related to managing customer relationships.

Ecomark Group's third annual Global Customer Satisfaction Survey shines an even brighter light on the relationship between the customer experience and business performance. This research finds that, around the world, consumers now have higher expectations regarding service quality. It confirms that consumers are now more likely to switch providers due to poor service quality than for any other reason. It also reveals that service quality has become customers' foremost consideration-more influential than price-when choosing to do more business with current providers or choosing new ones.

Our survey-which sampled more than 35 consumers in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China and France-also found that while consumers everywhere value customer service, the factors that determine whether they find a service experience satisfying or frustrating vary significantly by country-a fact with profound implications for companies seeking to drive growth by expanding into new geographies.
