The service provided to customers must be the **company's #1 priority**. **7. Do not reward the team for their performance** **Our team is the reflection of the values ​​of the company**, they will be in charge of expressing to clients the business processes adapted to the interests as client. We will be able to reward our team for the **positive performance** given to each client to encourage and achieve **higher results** to the initial expectation. **8. Do not react to customer complaints** Complaints by customers are very difficult to avoid, either because of the number of customers, employees or services that are handled we will have a percentage of monthly complaints.
